Keuchel is barely missing on a lot of pitches. Can't be easy going from 70-80 degrees in Florida for spring training to 30-40 degrees

Springer gets an infield hit. Runners on the corners no outs!

Ashby says that infield hit was "intriguing"

Stage is set for Correa.

Why the hell is the game blacked out online? I don't follow that logic. This game isn't on ROOT is it??

RBI fielders choice for Correa.

Correa on first, Rasmus to bat. 1 out down 1 run

MLB-TV showed that it was on root....but apparently it's also on ESPN? idk

Nice play by Headley, Correa roped that

Tanaka gets a high strike where he missed.

Ok, thought it was on ESPN only today..guess if it's on ROOT as well that explains the blackout somewhat

Correa hard slide into 2B on a steal. Slide was hard enough that Gregorious dropped the ball, which had beaten Correa.

Luck on our side with that one. He hangs on to that Correa is out!

Scrubby 2nd base ump

Need a base hit from Rasmus

Great play by Starlin Castro on a check swing from Rasmus

I had visions of them throwing that one by the 1B nice play

Thoughts on the lineup/bullpen.

Hinch said on 790AM this morning that White will get the start tomorrow. He didn't really say why Marwin started at 3rd. I could see a lot of shuffling with Marwin/Valbuena/White in the early goings. Let's just hope White does enough to force their hand. It will be a good problem to have.


Ken Giles will help this team win. I'm not worried about him being the "closer." That is such an overrated title. Just like saves are the most overrated statistic out there. I hope Hinch uses Ken Giles as a non-9th inning "closer." Meaning that I hope he faces the best part of their lineup whenever they come up before the 9th after the starter has come out of the game.

Plus, if Gregerson struggles at all, Giles slides right in.

Wtf swing

Jesus. Gomez has picked up right where he left off last season

Tanaka is working that outside corner like a champ

We've had some horrible at bats. Need to settle in.

I'd assume Hinch didn't want to start White off against Tanaka, and Marwin earned playing time.

I hate McCann

but I will never get tired of watching videos of Gomez showboating him at the plate after a big fly

Well done there.

Marwin on 1st has already paid huge dividends in this game.

Yep!

Not a Tucker ****er but that'll do!

A semi-F***er will do

Tucker has such a nice swing. Why do I get the feeling that our most producive lineups this year will be when Gomez isn't playing?
