suh_fan93 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Opening day! Sonny Gray with a no hitter for the A's until the 8th inning. Gave up a single but amazing performance nonetheless. Giants win their opener. Jimmy Rollins hits his first home run as a Dodger. His 4th career opening day HR. A-Rod's first game back since September of 2013. Glad baseball is back. Hope to get to some games and drink me some brews in the sunshine. 1 Quote Link to comment

Omaha-Husker Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Most Cubbies first game ever. 0-4 with three Ks. He will have a good year, too much talent. Just hilarious given how this debut got so hyped. Quote Link to comment
VA Husker Fan Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 They wanted Bryant to debut on the road to cut the hype, but an injury changed the plan. Seems like they could've had him pinch hit or something rather than bat cleanup right from the start. Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 Did much better in his 2nd game. He got on base 5 times. Went 2-for-3 with a pair of singles, an RBI and three walks. His RBI single tied it in the 5th and the Cubs went on to win in extra innings. Quote Link to comment

wiuhusker Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Pretty interesting series of events with the A's and Royals series this weekend in KC. To me Lawrie made no attempt on his slide to get the base and was after Escobar from the get on that. After that the Royals need to learn how to handle things better I believe. If Ventura hits Lawrie the 1st time he came up it was over and done with. Hitting him after a dude goes yard on you is a little cheap to me. Then yesterday was just wacky all around. 1 Quote Link to comment

Yeah Ventura was obviously pissed he just got touched and decided to make the statement too late in the game. As for yesterday the Royals clearly got pissed that Cain got hit and they warned everyone when the Royals didn't get that courtesy the game before. Herrera is what obviously sent it over the top. He really shouldn't have thrown behind Lawrie I mean it was a freaking one run game when he did it. Herrera is a guy that runs on emotions, but that was too much. That being said if the league was worried enough about collisions at home plate that they outlawed them then they should look to do the same at second. You wouldn't even need to write a new rule, just enforce the one on the books. Lawrie clearly slid out of the base path with cleats up and the batter should of been called out as a result. Guys will stop pulling the BS slides if there is no benefit to breaking up the double play. Baseball shouldn't be about who can hit the other guy harder or the base paths or in the batter's box. 2 Quote Link to comment

Couldn't agree more with that part. Escobar wasn't even going to be able to turn 2 and was treating it as a force play. Lawrie had his spikes sky high and had no intent of even touching the base with that slide. Deserved everything he got in the situation. Could've been handled better from the Royals perspective though. 1 Quote Link to comment
