Grichuk 2 run oppo shot in the rain, puts the Cards ahead 3-0 in the late innings against the Cubs.

[Tyler]

Didn't want to create a new thread, but wanted to make it known how much I hate Dipoto for his practice run as a GM while with the Angels. Such a piece of shhhh.... trading Grichuk... taking us out of the INTL FA with the crap Baldoquin signing, I can go on, but it is a travesty that he was picked up by another organization when he should have been blackballed from the MLB.

Meanwhile in St. louis, it's all tied up after a Wilson Contreras game tying home run. It's great to watch two teams play with heart on Opening Day.

Bandy the opening day catcher for the brew crew

I just watched Salas pitch for the Mets.

The Padres have 18 players on their roster that were not there on Opening Day last year, including all five starting pitchers.

Gonna be a long year in San Diego.

Joc Pederson just crushed a grand slam against Jhoulys Chacin (remember him?). Dodgers lead 5-1.

And now Yasmani Grandal has gone deep.

 

[red321]

Holy crap...Chacin is the Padres opening day starter? 

 

I forgot just how annoying Eric Byrnes is on mlb.tv

[fan_since79]

And now the Padres' catcher is injured in a collision at home plate.

Dodgers lead 8-1.

I think it was the Padres' catcher, who is pitching, was injured

[fan_since79]

Chacin:

3.1 innings, 8 hits, 9 ER, 2 BB, ERA of 24.30.

They apparently found a way to add a pitcher/catcher/OF utility guy to their roster...and seeing as it's the Padres...probably at league minimum

 

edit: By the way...based on the results of his outing today...he really better hope he can hit and catch

Trumbo with a walk-off HR yesterday, off Grilli:

Ervin Santana's day yesterday seems good based on the box score.
