Opening day lineup!

I had all the guys in my prediction correct but I had the order and positions mixed up... lol

 

[CBBI]

Tbh trade Bieber just for having the audacity to have Hedges as his personal catcher.

Kluber always had Gomes until Gomes was traded...

I wouldn’t care if Hedges could actually hit like Gomes

 

[Bob Loblaw]

We had a game early last year in Oakland where Bieber struck out a guy and it should have ended the inning, but Zunino couldn't block the ball and the tying run scored. I think Naylor would be fine catching him, but if Bieber wants to throw to Hedges I'm cool with that.

Plus Bieber is a free agent next season and on paper, Hedges will give him the best numbers possible...

In about 15 or 20 games this prediction is going to look really stupid.

So you’re saying they’re going to win their first 14 or 19 games?

I’ll take that…

 

[eChameleon]

Still four more hours aaaah this is torture.

Sad that it has to be said before first pitch on opening day, but it's unfortunately time to fire Stephen Vogt and bring back a real manager like Manny Acta.





But for real though, the lack of external improvements that led to Ramon Laureano being our #3 hitter on opening day deserves to be scrutinized, and no, I don't care that Laureano had a .794 OPS against lefties last year. That's still not even that great.

We all wanted a middle of the order RH bat and not getting one sucks...

Though we still gotta see what we can do before we decide anything though...

 

[Gimme Some Mo]

Gimi hitting 7th after the contract we gave him makes me nauseous.

From what I figure from spring training mixed with what the announcers said/guessed... Gimenez will hit 2nd against right handed SPs while down in the lineup against left handed pitchers...

 

[Mr. Orange]

Feels like a W today. Go Guards!

 

[Real Deal]

Betting $100 on Hedges going hitless. Cam Gallagher had me in a high tax bracket last year.
