[Chris R]

Fucking Mariner fucks.

To be fair, this strikezone is complete shit

 

[BFIB]

Both Bucs and Cards bullpen has been excellent.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Remember that one time Justin Verlander was good?

Yeah, it was tonight, and also in spring training, and also for like a dozen straight games at the end of last season.

 

[BigJonsson]

Cecil

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Figured as much, Cecil looked bad so far.

 

[Malo]

Keith Law seems pretty convinced the Phillies aren't going to take Groome. His sources are usually pretty good on this stuff.

Pint or Puk then?

What a shame. R.I.P. Verlander.

 

[Lexxism]

Figured as much, Cecil looked bad so far.

Not really. That's the first run he gave up since June of last year.

 

[Beckx]

starters give up 5 each, bullpens murder everyone.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Poor Brett! It was going to happen eventually

 

[CygnusXS]

Pint or Puk then?

No Vin tonight? (

No Vin? We've hit the dark ages.

[Macattk15]

I swear.

Watching the Mariners make me feel like we're 80 games deep into a depressing season even though it is the 2nd game.

2 hits off fuckin Martin Perez .....

 

[shwimpy]

Looks like Dee will continue where he left off last season. I miss seeing him in Blue.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Not really. That's the first run he gave up since June of last year.

Not really what? He didn't look good before that tonight, prior games don't matter.

MILWAUKEE - Fans watching the season opener Monday surely noticed the Giants are wearing a new style of helmet this year.

Better protection against fastballs? A lighter feel?

Nope. The Giants chose the new helmets because they look cool.

Rawlings, the Major League Baseball helmet supplier, traditionally had one style with a shiny paint. Then they introduced one with a matted finish. It also has two grooves from front to back that each feature three small holes to let more air inside for comfort, with another hole jsut above the “SF” logo and one more in the back.

Alan Lee, the Giants' major-league equipment manager, said he polled several players last year on which helmet to buy for 2016 and it was no contest.

"It was a slam dunk in favor of the matted black," Lee said. "The players loved it. The feedback we got from them was they look really nice."

The clubhouse staff made sure to ask the higher-ups before ordering the new helmets, what with the Giants' love for tradition, and got the go-ahead.

The players wore the old shiny helmets during spring training because the Giants had so many left in stock. The staff also thought they would be fun to introduce on Opening Day.

Players get new helmets every season because they tend to crack and become gross from all the pine tar the players apply.
