Happy Opening Day. Our Long Spring Training is finally over. Looking forward to seeing how the Giants do this year.
Grew up in the Bay Area and now live in the Chicago area. Dedicated Giants AND Cubs fan!
My day off is today and the Cubs play at 1:20. I REALLY wish the Giants game was earlier. That game starts at 9:10pm my time and I have to work early tomorrow, so as much as I would love to watch the whole thing...I won't be watching much of that game. Ha, crap!
i CANNOT WAIT to go to a live baseball game! It's in the top 3 things I'm looking forward to this summer.
Same, I could go right now if I wanted to but I’m going to wait a bit longer when a larger portion of the population gets vaccinated. Can’t wait!
Home Run Derby will be bananas! Do people still say bananas? Haha looking forward to it
I'm waiting until I am fulling vaccinated (both shots + the necessary wait). After that, I am going as soon as I can.
Do you know if it's ever been there before? (I should search ...later)
Yes, it has. The 1998 All-Star Game was played at Planet Coors. Griffey Jr won the Home Run Derby, but I mostly remember a particularly titanic blast that Barry Bonds hit in the actual game.
Anyone see what Jacob deGrom did tonight? Complete game 2-hit shutout, 15k's, 0 BB, 0 R. He also contributed to the offense, drove in the first run with a double (and later got a single) and scored 2 runs himself. He recorded 56 k's in his first 4 games, a record. His lifetime ERA at 2.55 is now lower than Tom Seaver's at 2.57 (TOM SEAVER!!), and is 0.31 on the season.
This guy is on another level and it's just not fair. The Mets' TV station did an overlay of 3 pitches he throws (fastball, change and slider I think), it literally looked like one person threw all 3, his motion is that exact and repeatable!

Well, the Cubs missed DeGrom in their recent series at Wrigley, and swept the 3-game series. The 2021 Cubs. You decide.
Bumgarner pitched a no hitter that didn't count.

7 hitless innings for Bumgarner in shortened win
It won't go in the record books as an official MLB no-hitter because of the shortened nature of the doubleheader game, but Arizona's Madison Bumgarner threw seven hitless innings Sunday in a 7-0 win over Atlanta.

Bumgarner has been awful since he signed with the D-backs, so that last performance ought to feel pretty good. The Braves couldn't buy a hit in the other game in that doubleheader, either, so maybe a bit early to say he's back.
Looks like the Giants caught the Dodgers at the top of the NL West. Surprise, surprise.

It might be hard to believe, but the Yankees finished the month with the best ERA in the AL. The offense is kinda moving in the right direction too. I still have concerns, but I’m not in “the world is ending” mode anymore with this team like I was last week.
