Where do you get these from?

 

This isn't normal Jimbo, usually 3-5 hours prior on gameday.

Poor Happ

Mets Line-up

 

1. Brandon Nimmo (L) CF

2. Yoenis Cespedes ® LF

3. Jay Bruce (L) RF

4. Asdrubal Cabrera (S) 2B

5. Todd Frazier ® 3B

6. Adrian Gonzalez (L) 1B

7. Kevin Plawecki ® C

8. Noah Syndergaard (L) P

9. Amed Rosario ® SS

 

s*** Asdrubal Cabrera is batting cleanup? With his multi-positional ability I wonder if he's worth picking up in a 14 teamer.

It's 2018 and managers are still confused about the 3-hole.

I haven't been paying much attention to NL lineups..... but since when were pitchers anywhere other than 9th? I know its Thor, but still

Since Tony LaRussa was managing the Cardinals.

It's pretty common these days to see a pitcher hitting 8th in the NL, they do it so the 9 hitter has a least some chance to turn the lineup over with a man on base as opposed to the guaranteed out. Sort of like a poor man's leadoff hitter if you will.

Former Jays catcher Raffy Lopez made the Padres. Why?

[JG34]

Sal Perez out 4-6 weeks torn MCL lifting a suitcase and falling down stairs.

Brutal way to go down, no pun intended, especially for a C.

[Willy25]

Former Jays catcher Raffy Lopez made the Padres. Why?

.320 avg, 4hr and 1.249 ops for the spring is why i suppose.

 

Who knew?

Backup Catchers suck. He's probably better than Maile.

Not from what I saw??? He's a stabber, lol.

Spanky, i think it's time to start the GDT and i can't think of a better poster to lead us off this year than you.

Was thinking King would.

Rasmus made the roster for the O's and is gonna start in RF on opening day. Could be a pretty sharp move by Baltimore. Rasmus looked great with the Rays last year before going awol. It'll be interesting to see how he fares.

[Jimcanuck]

Marlins have pencilled Brinson into the lead off spot. Way to put more pressure on the kid lol

As much as he's an odd dude, I've got a soft spot for Rasmus and I hope he does well (but not against the Jays...)

[Brownie19]

Chris Davis is leading off for Baltimore. I think we're finally breaking through traditional lineup construction.

[Jimcanuck]

Opening day pitcher for the Giants is.... wait for it..... Ty Blach!

[Sammy225]

Cubs Marlins up first today let’s go!!!!!

[Sammy225]

1st pitch of the season........ Gone Ian Happ

[jaysfan2014]

It's going to be a LONGGGGGG year for the Miami Marlins..

[jaysfan2014]

Certainly, did Miami have any better options than Urena? He's already given up a HR and a walk..

[Sammy225]

And HBP

[jaysfan2014]

And another HBP! Bases loaded..too bad it's Jason Heyward. Looks like the Marlins will go into their half down 1-0..

[Jimcanuck]

Ohtani DH'ing for the Angels

[jaysfan2014]

Ohtani DH'ing for the Angels

 

Wow--the Angels are a circus of an org. to be giving Ohtani DH duties when he didn't exactly show anything at the plate this spring. Expect an 0-4 day..
