MLB Performances Thread 4/5 (Opening Day) - MAJORS

[Mudcatsfan]

Seemed like there should be a Major League counterpart thread

Ryan Sweeney with a nice start in Boston.
2-4 RBI 3b
And Austin Jackson WINS IT!
3-5 with a 3b and GW RBI

 

[Junior Griffey]

Dempster looked great today. Pulled with a 1-0 lead after throwing 7.2 with 10 k's and only giving up 2 hits.

 

[James52411]

Obviously, the rumors of Doc Halladay's demise were greatly exaggerated: 8 IP, 2 H, 0 R.

 

[frazzles]

Jack Hannahan with 3rd opening day HR - 3R shot
Masterson "masterful" too, so far

 

[bcubs]

Jose Bautista with an early start on his AL HR Crown.

 

[schmidtfan20]

Halladay/Papelbon...I like the sound of that.

Dempster looked great! Too bad the bullpen got him a ND

 

[Topnotchsy]

Lots of really successful returns by starting pitchers...

 

[frazzles]

Masterson's final line 8 IP, 10K, 2H, 1 BB, 1ER (HR to Joey Bats)

Awesome

Holy Masterson, studly line. Hopefully Kershaw puts up a similar line :mrgreen:

 

[Eamon]

verlander looked amazing..... valverde looked like crap....

halladay/papelbon = great

strasburg had a very very solid game

Ricky Romero got lit up.

 

[Jaypers]

Final line for Stras - 7 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 5 K

 

[ChasHawk]

Final line for Stras - 7 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 5 K

That's only part of a sentence...the rest of which is:

...against the AAAA lineup of the Cubs.

And he was actually in line for a loss, but was saved by the Cubs bullpen.

I would bet money that Strasburg as some of the worst run support of any #1 starting pitcher.
I have followed alot of his starts and it seems he does a great job of keeping the opposing team
from scoring but just doesn't get any run support in the process.

Great comeback by the Jays. Heading to the 12th.

Runner on 2, 2 out

Edit bases loaded just IBB Bautista, 2 out

Perez wasn't ready for opening day after all...

 

[thefatguy]

Jays are bringing Vizquel to play as a 5th infielder.

And they get the bases loaded DP!!

Perez wasn't ready for opening day after all...

I was cracking up watching Bill Simmons tweet about how FAT and out of shape Chris Perez is in...

Yeah, this one got me the most:

Bill Simmons ? @sportsguy33
Update: Chris Perez now in Cleveland's locker room having a smoke, drinking a beer and thinking about how many sit-ups he's not going to do.

Jays are bringing Vizquel to play as a 5th infielder.

Biggest cheer of the day at the Prog was for Vizquel, a utility guy for the other team.. haha.

These Cleveland announcers are going to bore me to death.
