Opening Day

1 hitter ftw apparently..ugh

 

With the recent postpone game game does it effect who pitches at the home opener?

Saw Atros cap in the movie Rundown. Slow motion too. Did not expect, lol.

 

It's an awesome park!!

Doesn't really feel like open air, but again, awesome stadium!!

I'm shocked and amazed because it doesn't seem to be. The stands look much lower than MM. Not ALL bad because higher walls hold noise better. Higher walls enable more proximity for fans due to the "on-topness". Stands can be stacked more easily with higher walls. Quest Field in Seattle, which is known for loudness, has a similar setup with the higher walls and stacked seats.

 

I know it's only one game, but the Cubs are just straight up destroying the Angels. Not sure if Angels are terrible or it's just the greatness of the Cubs. I would honestly be surprised if the World Series wasn't played at Wrigley.

 

It's only one game

 

Its only blacked out to Comcast subscribers due the YES and Comcast battle.

 

I'm not sure if it is the greatness of the Rockies or if the Dbacks are terrible, but Colorado sure killed them.

 

It was a little bit of both. I will say the Cubs honestly could've played A LOT better too. They Angels made a few mistakes, and they really couldn't hit much but then again they were playing against Arrieta. Richards just seemed to lose control of his pitching as the innings went on.

So I'd say it was definitely a little bit of both, but the Angels definitely should've played a lot better. It is really only one game though and in April. Nobody is going to remember this game or any of these others during this month come August or September.

 

Pretty sure Trevor Story has the MVP locked up already.

 

Luckiest. Team. Ever.

And just in case you want to see Berkman preventing the first Texas WS victory skip ahead to 4:45.

They spend half their games near Dallas. They needed something to go right.
