Breaking News: Braves have two hits in an inning.

UPDATE: A third hit and a run!

 

[Windu]

It's a shame the astros are moving the the AL next season.

 

[eznark]

I guess I way overestimated Darvish.

 

[distantmantra]

I don't have any idea what to think of Noesi. This Texas lineup is frightening.

Liking the crowd at the Roger's. Loved the Colby triple earlier.

Nunez with a good defensive play? Shocked I tell you, SHOCKED.

 

[goldlion054]

See? He was just warming up. Gonna have an inning to think bout, go out and sit 3 straight down for 4 more innings and call it a day. Probably bang some luck girl and then be lights out the rest of the season. It'll be perfect!

Idk why I want Darvish to succeed so much

 

[cashman]

For those actually watching the game, how close are Darvish's pitches?

They look like strikes on Gamecast.

unbiased

 

[sangreal]

Now as long as Noesi doesn't stink it up (I have NO idea what to expect from him honestly) we'll be ok!

Rangers line-up scares the shit outta me though.

Noesi was pretty solid as a mop-up long man on the Yankees last year. I expect him to put Darvish to shame. Might as well just commit sudoku now

 

[Carlbeego]

Yu gonna settle down watch.

 

[The Frankman]

If we were asses we should find a Japanese chatroom showing the game and troll the Japanese chatters like last October.

If we were asses though.

Spoiler

someone find one

 

[Macattk15]

Ok. It's a conspiracy in Arlington.

No one can find the plate!

This is gonna be a 12-9 game isn't it?

 

[h3ro]

Yu has brought shame upon the house of Igawa.

Only remedy is sudoku.




edit: damn it sangreal! lol

 

[Talon]

Why can't we play in Minute Maid every game?

12-4

 

[distantmantra]

Noesi can't find the plate. But he's not the savior of baseball or anything.

 

[Macattk15]

I hate Noesi already.

From USS Mariner today:

It’s Yu Darvish’s Major League debut, so the Mariners are kind of an afterthought tonight. I had a chance to sit behind the plate for one of Darvish’s spring training starts, and his breaking stuff is ridiculous, so there’s a good chance he makes a lot of guys look foolish tonight. However, he did struggle with his fastball command all spring and seemed to live on the outer half of the plate, so the team would do well to make Darvish throw strikes before they go up there hacking. If they can get into good hitting counts, they can sit on a fastball and neutralize his secondary stuff to a degree. If he’s throwing strikes, they’re screwed anyway – at least patience at the plate will give them a fighting chance if he’s not sharp. Aggressiveness is exactly the wrong approach to take tonight.

Pretty spot on so far.

 

[cashman]

lulz thanks for walking andrus

I hate Noesi already.

GIVE ME BACK JESUS.

 

[vas_a_morir]

YES!!! REDS SCORE A RUN!!!

 

[Macattk15]

Oh. This game is going suck.

I want Pineda's corpse back.

Maybe Hisashi Iwakuma will make his debut tonight!

 

[The Frankman]

Kirk Nieuwenhuis! 2-run blast! 1st major league homer!

lol last year that's not a homer!

 

[distantmantra]

Oh. This game is going suck.

I want Pineda's corpse back.

Noesi can't get anyone out and Montero is puking his guts out while batting below the Mendoza line. Awesome.

 

[Doytch]

95 with movement and an 87mph split. I like. I never really bought the hype last year since most of his games were against the Orilols/As/Ms, but this is nice.

 

[McNei1y]

dammit that ump made this game closer. Nuewenwhatever with his first ML homer.

 

[Ilive1up]

KIRK!

that's how you hit, BAY!

 

[distantmantra]

OH MAN WE GOT LUCKY

 

[LJ11]

KIRK!

that's how you hit, BAY!

Hahaha

Bay looked like he was heading for the Whitestone Bridge after that last AB.

 

[Enron]

GODDAMNNIT

 

[Malo]

Oh. This game is going suck.

I want Pineda's corpse back.

Only if we get to keep Campos.

 

[cashman]

goddammit

 

[Parch]

Liking the crowd at the Roger's. Loved the Colby triple earlier.

I wish I was there. Crazy crowd atmosphere makes it fun.
Alvarez is looking pretty good, or are those Boston bats still full of beer and chicken. Here's hoping the Sox and Yanks slump till June.

 

[Macattk15]

Heart stopped.

 

[Ilive1up]

Hahaha

Bay looked like he was heading for the Whitestone Bridge after that last AB.

he looks lost...all the time.

 

[distantmantra]

Which starter is gonna last longer? Shit, this is nuts.

 

[cashman]

Theme of the season so far. Rangers barely miss keeping HR's fair and other teams get lucky ass hits.

 

[Fenix]

Considering he's 21, this is pretty damn good.

 

[Macattk15]

I hate Noesi because of how fucking slow he is so far. And wild.

Yes! HE MADE HAMILTON LOOK LIKE A LITTLE BITCH!

 

[goldlion054]

Lol Hamilton

 

[distantmantra]

They don't become outs if you keep saying it.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

YES!!! REDS SCORE A RUN!!!

Phillips may be hurt. He was limping in the dugout after scoring.

 

[cashman]

lol who is this scrub at SS for the mariners

 

[Enron]

YESSSSSS

lol who is this scrub at SS for the mariners

Now the Mariners have their own Michael Young ("SS") for us to laugh at!

 

[Macattk15]

Yes Brendan, let's give the Texas Rangers extra outs.

You DICK.

 

[h3ro]

Is there any reason that Yu's debut isn't on MLB network besides Selig being incompetent?
