You'll be seeing a lot of old team threads being dug up by me once the season begins. I do the play-by-play whenever one of the pitchers on my fantasy team is on the mound. Starting pitching is by far my favorite aspect of the game.

BTW: 60 years! That is fantastic. I've only been watching baseball for about 20 years now so I've been a Braves fan that long. I hope I live long enough to be able to say I've been a fan of a team for 60 years!

I'm a little surprised that the Pirates are running Liriano out there on Opening Day and not Cole but oh well...baseball is back!

 

[death2redemptions]

Liriano has a career 1.28 ERA as an Opening Day starter.

 

[death2redemptions]

And Liriano gets the first batter out!

 

[death2redemptions]

Liriano gets the next batter out as well...

 

[death2redemptions]

Holliday caught looking!

1-2-3 inning for Liriano

 

[death2redemptions]

McCutchen hit by pitch...runner on 1st with 1 out.

 

[death2redemptions]

But that call could be overturned...

 

[death2redemptions]

It won't be overturned...

 

[death2redemptions]

Wait, they have Freese hitting 3rd?

 

[death2redemptions]

Freese singles and McCutchen takes 3rd base with only 1 out.

 

[death2redemptions]

Marte party...

 

[death2redemptions]

Lame...Marte hits it right at him. Looks like we may not score any runs now.

 

[death2redemptions]

There will be no scoring this inning...
