game #1!

I can't believe it is here.
Projected
Shane Bieber RHP 136 ERA+ VS Luis Castillo RHP 125 ERA+
The line-ups are not out yet but I think it will be the "opening day lineup" I believe AJ Pollack will play over LaStella at DH

Lineup
J Rodríguez (R) CF
K Wong (L) 2B
T France (R) 1B
T Hernández (R) RF
C Raleigh (S) C
E Suárez (R) 3B
J Kelenic (L) LF
AJ Pollack (R) DH
JP (L) SS


I will try to edit in any changes as game approaches.

Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Hmm, it looks like they went matchup on Pollock vs LaStella after all.

How's about you stop disrespecting our shortstop by omitting his last name in the lineup?

Crapford isn't that hard to spell...

Fuck Ohtani. For the amount hes going to get paid they could address 3 other positions like SS, LF, 2B, 3B, RF that will need upgrading if they ever want to make it past the divisional round.

Getting Ohtani and going to a 6 man rotation just means fewer starts for Kirby, gilbert, Ray and Castillo. Not sure you gain much in the pitching dept if you end up with a 6 man rotation

I know. I kind of agree. I am just reiterating a rumor - the purported justification for under spending on free agents last off-season.

He’s a unicorn, and he’d put asses in seats and sell jerseys. But I think he is one stolen base or jankily thrown fastball or one foul tip off the nutter butters away from an injury that would end his 2-way career.

He’s gong to get a half a billion dollars from either the Mets or the Dodgers. No way we can compete. We’re not the Yanks or Mets or Dodgers. Fuck, we’re not even the Padres.

Would it be nice? Yep. It would be pretty cool. Do I think it will happen? See my prediction about monkeys flying out of my ass.

I agree, I think we're out on Ohtani. If we had originally landed him that's one thing. No way does Jerry feel comfortable with a contract like that.
