Never known anything like it. Annual blisters IL. Toughen Lodolo's pitch hand or learn another secondary pitch for fuggs sakes!

I can't blame the Reds, or any team really, for hoarding starting pitching.

Lodolo to the IL and will miss 2 starts at a minimum.

The more you know...

will the ghost runner ever go away, or call it something more appropriate and then go away? i hate it so much, hate it more than the institution of the dh. hate it more than canceling the shift. i hate all these newer rules but would welcome some sort of nba type of salary cap; if that's possible. championship stuff. it's early, but sal stewart=miggy cabrera

- neutral on the ghost runner name and implementation
- don't like DH
- neutral on outlawing the shift
- want salary reform but I'm not sure NBA model is the answer
- very excited about Sal

I love the new ABS Challenge system!

I’ll take 2 of 3 from the BoSox on opening weekend.

Shouldn't surprise anyone. Pirates have taken 31 of the last 50 now. Sick.

Good opening win over Texas. Nice to see some guys awakening at the plate.

noevli marte still hasn't a hit. the bottom of the order has two hits

I'll take the first two from the Rangers on the road...

I don't think it's very fair to get worked up over the first 8 games especially when the player in question has only 10 (hitless) ABs plus 2 walks. But Hinds, Dunn and Bleday are all mashing in AAA so far so I could see them making a swap pretty soon if Marte doesn't get in gear.

Hopefully we get a strong outing from Mr. Burns on Easter and get the sweep.

Not worried about Marte, that guy has serious potential. He'll be fine just like Steer as you see him getting going.

Am worried about KeBryan Hayes. Just don't know how you start that guy. He should be coming in late innings to protect a lead only.

chase burns. gonna wally pipp hunter greene

sal's got more stolen bags than elly

Way too early, but 7-3 with no Greene or Lodolo. Four straight road wins. I'll take it...

Winning tight games which we seemed to lose last year. We are -2 run differential and 7-3. Burns and Lowder look great, overall pitching looks great. Elly and Sal the only two hitting though.

Now that's what I'm talking about! Maybe the late game heroics tonight will finally get the bats rockin'.

what's that run differential looking like now!

Hell of a win. Sandy had the stuff and they still pulled thru. Elly coming home to tie it was electric stuff. That guys is so fun to watch.
