HA, Fletcher threw a gem before realizing it was Maldonado running and he actually had time to take a drink first. Would've been funny if he did a Harden shimmy before throwing.
It's Opening Day, they said before the game he'd only go 80+ pitches. Brantley had good swings off him, so they brought in their new lefty bullpen ace with a RISP and 2 out.
Framber came out of nowhere in 2019, showed he could follow it up last year despite being injured, and now feel he's a pure ace
He threw 80 pitches. In all the games today, no starter threw more than 85. It's pretty typical to not push players too much early in the season, and probably even moreso this year with the shortened spring training.
