  1. Sell the team. Fire Brown. Fire Espada. Trade Altuve and Yordan. Burn it to the ground.

    Jk, it’s Opening Day y’all. Chill.

  2. Just your friendly reminder that the Yankees haven’t been to the WS since 2009. Lol.

  3. The strike zone might have sucked late in the game, but the walks are what truly killed us.

  4. 4 runs on 13 hits is frustrating but that was all pitching. valdez needs to step up dude

  5. Pitching was fucking horrid, couldn’t hit water if it fell out a boat besides Hader, he looked incredible. Offense just packed the fuck up a third through the game. Onto tomorrow though, need to step it up and fix a few things

  6. Good news: Regular seasons are marathons and there’s still 161 games left.

    Bad news: There’s still 161 games left and this opening day loss will sting like fuck.

  7. Dang, I checked in with the Astros up 4-0. I should have gone to bed, blissfully ignorant. 🙂

    We’ll get ’em tomorrow.

  8. Well, that was disappointing. Framber was easily rattled, and Stressly opened the season the exact same way he did last year. I am straight up not having a good time right now

  9. I can’t hate sending Dubie at the end. That’s the aggressive baserunning I’ve always wanted… just happened to be against Soto and his arm.

  10. Tbh Framber is not an ace. He’s too wild and needs way too many double plays. Offense was nice but went dead. Dubon send was a bad bad decision (it was too close to call on challenge, it was gonna stand no matter what).

    Still, winnable series. Offense will gel and click more, Yainer is so much better than Maldy and Pena looks like he has a good swing this year. My worry is how fast Meyers got pulled, he got two at bats and got a homer on one of them, why pull for Singleton? Worrying

  11. Framber with 3 bases loaded scenarios is just awful gidps or not.

    Somebody is gonna overpay him but i hope it aint us

  12. Positives:

    BASEBALL IS BACK

    Hader and Scott

    The bottom 4 in the lineup had a combined 8 hits

    Defense!

    Pena stretching that hit into a double was 🔥🔥🔥

    BASEBALL IS B A C K

    Negatives:

    WALKS

    framber still doesn’t look right — control, body language, all of it

    Singleton PH (I don’t think he should’ve made the roster)

    That send on Dubon there at the end

    Situational hitting kind of disappeared after the beginning of the game

  13. Good news is 13 hits, bad news is it only generated 4 runs. We’ll win most games where we get 13 hits. All we have to do is not walk EVERY SINGLE BATTER.

  14. It is, basically, April. Which means it’s doomer season. Have your fun dooming y’all, it’s your month!

  15. i just checked the standings after this game and we have a worse record than the yankees. good news is we’re only one game back so its possible to overcome it
