Umps are still warming up, too. Lots of pretty shady calls yesterday and today.
Sam C
7:47
Future first baseman Jose Bautista

Didn't see it, but heard that there was slight booing of Kim.
Owen Watson
7:47
Yikes
Bork

GOD DAMN TULO
George Harrison
7:48
Well, McHugh and Fiers are fine middle of the rotation starters, and the Astros bullpen is legitimately great.The 6th best reliever in the pen is a two time all star. Still, when McCullers comes back (late April), Keuchel/McCullers/McHugh/Fiers is just as good as anyone's in the AL outside of Cleveland and TB
Owen Watson
7:49
Even at their best, I have a pretty hard time comping that rotation to Kluber/Carrasco/Salazar.
Which is why you said "outside" - durrr
7:51
I love the really bashful/guilty look on a fan's face when they rob a homer over the fence
Bork
7:51
Fan obstruction in Tampa Bay. Who saw that coming? A fan in Tampa Bay?
Owen Watson
7:51
I actually laughed
7:52
Oh man, and they're giving the fan his own box on the broadcast during the review. Buuuurrrrnn
Well I didn't see that one coming.
7:53
And he's ejected anyway!
Joe
7:53
Wait the guy gets kicked out for catching a HR?
Toasty
7:53
I know opening day seats aint cheap but i dunno if i could stay after doing that
Sam C
7:55
Ya fans always get ejected for interference.
CamdenWarehouse
7:55
3 Ks for Buxton
Owen Watson
7:55
This might happen for a little while.
Ryan
7:55
Alexei Ramirez plays for the Padres? Alexei Ramirez is 34? This is Alexei Ramirez's NINTH season in the league? I guess there's a lot I didn't know about Alexei Ramirez. I am humbled.
Owen Watson
7:55
Also what does Alexei Ramirez eat? Anything?
7:56
Skinniest player in baseball?
Dave
7:56
How did Justin Turner get so good? Did he steal David Wright's talent like the MonStars?
Owen Watson
7:56
Marlon Byrd! I think Eno wrote about it last year. Started getting the bat out earlier instead of waiting for the ball to travel. More pull power.
Adam
7:57
Thole's Father in the stands
Owen Watson
7:57
If it was a TB homer, would he have been ejected?
Bork
7:59
If it happens for the Royals in the post-season, the guy is a hero #stillmad
Owen Watson

I was steamed over that fan interference that wasn't called in the 1996 ALCS for a decade.
I mean come on, man. That is just so brutal
Sam C
8:01
Bartman?
Owen Watson
8:02
I feel like Bartman was just a cruel victim of circumstance. Definitely easy to say we would have done differently than he did, but who knows!
Ryan
8:02
I have no idea what Alexei Ramirez eats - my Alexei Ramirez ignorance knows no bounds. I do think Billy Hamilton is skinnier, but not by much.
Owen Watson
8:02
Melvin Upton Jr. also has a shot at this title.
CamdenWarehouse
8:03
That ruined my birthday man, don't remind me.
Owen Watson
8:04
Yeah, I'm from Virginia, so before the Nats came to D.C. Baltimore was the closest team. Definitely was a sore spot for a long time.
CJ
8:04
I refuse to stop calling him BJ.
Owen Watson
8:04
I support this
8:05
Story: I was at Fenway in the late 2000's in the center field bleachers, and the fans were mericlessly taunting BJ Upton by yelling BEEEEEJJJAAAAAAAYYYY
