I will say the GB and K rates are nice
As the year progresses his control will probably get better and better.
I now wish last opening day never happened.
Because it can never be beaten, which is why being 1-0 after 2 innings is hurting so much already.
And to think, I could have chosen to support the Yankees or Red Sox...
If Anyone....
is worried about Bedard's velocity...His average FB was 91.6mph last season. He's right in the ballpark.
According to FSN he's throwing 93-94 mph.

Well....
I've seen enough of Bedard to determine that M's fans need to stop being worried about the guy.
The talking heads, however, will focus on the non-important shit though and keep scaring the casual fan base.
We need to see a brawl.

If that was Horacio Ramirez on teh mound
we'd already be down 7.
Then again, it would've taken catastrophy for him to even be the opening day pitcher, so screw my hypotheticals.
Someone say something witty.
I will take this opportunity to pause and reflect ...
about how awsome it is to be watching Ms baseball again.
They're too used to swinging...
At fastballs way off the plate.

New rule suggestion:
We do away with all Mariner at bats. Henceforth we get credit for one run every time our pitchers keep the other team scoreless in a half-inning.
Bavasi would still find a way to screw that up
probably trade felix and trot Pepe out to the mound every five days - yay for veteran experience

Saying he wanted pitchers going deeper into ball games, even if it means a higher pitch count
Which basically means
Bedard will pitch til his arm falls off?

With a more liberal strike zone, Bedard would be in good form.
Still the K's are there and so is the speed.

As high as the pitch count is

Well, other than averaging 20 pitches an inning, Bedard

Bedard is going to be fun to watch.
Remember, he has struggles in April [and March]. That was still a nice 5IP.

Erik didn't have a bad showing at all

MAcPhail must have disguised Cabrera
Sims:
"It's hailing now. Ah, you fans are going to have a fun time driving home today, huh?"
I don't think Sims realizes HE needs to drive home.

So as I pass the 24 hour mark, the lack of sleep
is starting to catch up to me. The Mariners better hurry up and make this interesting.
If Pinocchio has a cocaine problem and he lies about it, does that make it worse?
ive figured it out
the pitchers are just trying to show the batters how to work the count.
green's got a lot of movement on those pitches
... yeah... we know
their box score
isn't indicative of how frustrated we've all been watching the pitching.
