Yankees 5, Astros 4: The road to 162-0 is on!

Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports A thrilling comeback kicks off the season in grand style, with a big assist from Juan Soto. You will not be forgiven if you turned this one off after the second inning. The Yankees went down 4-0 to perhaps their most hated rival early, and the second-guessers were already out. Instead we had a game that will probably rank as one of the best wins of the year once the club has (hopefully) compiled another 94 or so, with a thrilling comeback win secured by some defensive brilliance from Lisan al-Gaib Juan Soto. Nestor Cortes had a very odd...

Twins 4, Royals 1: So It Begins

Twins 4, Royals 1: So It Begins

Jay Biggerstaff-USA TODAY Sports A rollercoaster of emotions weaves its way through an Opening Day victory. The Minnesota Twins started the 2024 season with a little dose of everything — sudden excitement, an undercurrent of comfort, a heartbreaking twist. But the end result is the most important — and a 4-1 victory against the Kansas City Royals means the Twins are 1-0 to start one of their most highly-anticipated seasons in recent memory. Those four runs started counting in the first inning, when after a couple of quick outs, Royce Lewis nuked a 98-mph baseball...

Game 1: Red Sox vs Mariners

Photo by Maddie Malhotra/Boston Red Sox/ Here we go… Well, here we are. After a long offseason that certainly left fans frustrated at times, Opening Day is here. The last time Boston won on Opening Day? 2017! Alex Cora hasn’t managed a win in the first game of the season during his tenure. Even during the amazing 2018 campaign. This is also Cora’s 811th game managing the Sox. He enters the die tied in games with old friend John Farrell. He’ll try to end his personal losing streak tonight. And he’s got the right guy on the mound. Brayan Bello, who signed a...

Zach Eflin falls apart in the sixth on Opening Day - Blue Jays 8, Rays 2

Kim Klement Neitzel-USA TODAY Sports Yandy Diaz started things right, but the rest wasn’t much fun. The Rays wont be starting the season with a run of 13 wins this year, as they fell to the Blue Jays 8-2 on Opening Day. Let’s start with the good, then get to what happened. Today was a good reminder that Yandy Diaz is my favorite consistent hitter in Rays history, specifically because he follows my personal rule for the ideal leadoff hitter: he should be terrifying. Indeed, Diaz reminded the baseball world he was the AL batting champion with a hammer over the low...

Tigers 1, White Sox 0: Crochet weaves, but Skubal shoves

Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports Javier Baez, a fan-favorite on the South Side of Chicago, scored the game’s only run on Thursday afternoon. In 2023, the Detroit Tigers went 1-28 when scoring one run or less in a game. In 2024, the Detroit Tigers are 1-0 when scoring one run in a game. Eat your hearts out, White Sox fans: we took over your 2024 Opening Day and we stole your broadcaster! Tigers win, 1-0. Today marked the first career MLB start for Chicago pitcher Garrett Crochet, who became just the 9th player all-time to make his first start on Opening Day — that...

Jays Win On Opening Day

Photo by Mike Ehrmann/ Blue Jays 6 Rays 2 Boy, I want to read too much into that game. We got a great start from Berríos, good defense (minus a couple of fly balls hit to Springer), and a lot of power. Berríos went 6 innings, allowed 6 hits, 2 ‘earned runs’ (only one of them was really an earned run), 1 walk and 6 strikeouts. There was a first-inning ‘Tropicanna special’ home run by Rays’ lead-off hitter Yandy Díaz (pulled down the left field line to clear a very low wall in the left field corner). And Jose gave up another run in the sixth, off two...

Royals offense struggles against Lopez in 4-1 Opening Day loss to Twins

Jay Biggerstaff-USA TODAY Sports Positively, Cole Ragans struck out nine, a Royals Opening Day record Kansas City’s excitement levels headed into today’s Opening Day festivities were as high as they had been since 2017. The roster featured several newcomers, including much-needed help in the starting rotation and bullpen, as well as the return of Vinnie Pasquantino. Facing a Twins team favored to win a weak AL Central, though, we got a little taste of what we all knew. Minnesota might not be the strongest division favorite, but they are were a division winner last...

Corbin Burnes cruises and the entire lineup mashes in 11-3 Opening Day win

Photo by Greg Fiume/ The Orioles made the most of a festive day in Baltimore with nearly every member of the roster contributing. That was about as good of an Opening Day as you could hope for if you’re the Orioles. Their newly-acquired ace looked like a guy that will compete for a Cy Young, the entire offense was humming, and the defending AL East champs beat up on an inferior opponent. In the end, that added up to an 11-3 win over the Angels on Thursday afternoon in a somewhat rainy Baltimore. The good vibes started well before first pitch. David Rubenstein and the...
