Angels were 4th in MLB in HRs last season.
If they throw him in Game 3 against Washington, that puts him in line to face:
-Guardians in Cleveland (20th in HRs)
-Pirates at Wrigley (30th)
-Phillies both in Philly and at Wrigley (9th)
Heโd be able to avoid:
-Angels (4th)
-Rays (16th)
-Mets (5th)
What will likely be more important than who starts on Opening Day is when will Shลta pitch after his struggles from late last season have lingered into his starts this Spring? If Iโm Craig, Iโm doing everything I can to make sure he doesnโt see the Angels in that 2nd series.
Was hoping it would be Cade Horton, but I canโt complain with this. Boyd earned it after the year he had last year.
Couldnt get past 5 innings but those 5 innings were fuckin electric
THANK YOU, MARSEE!!! 5-0 ITALY!!!
TEAM USA MOVES ON!!! ๐ฎ๐น๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐น๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐น๐บ๐ธ
SAFETY SQUEEZE!!! 3-0 ITALY!!! ๐ฎ๐น๐ฎ๐น๐ฎ๐น๐ฎ๐น
ONE MORE FOR THE AMERICANS TO ADVANCE!!!
I forgot how much I hate the crazy bounces that fair balls take in foul territory in Houston. #blessed to not be in the same division as them anymore.
Both Italy HRs off Assad were ones that just barely got out. This is perfect for every narrative Iโm rooting for tonight.
JON BERTI!!! CUBS LEGEND!!! 2-0 ITALIA!!! ๐ฎ๐น๐ฎ๐น๐ฎ๐น๐ฎ๐น
This is the greatest graph Iโve ever seen.
Yes, the U.S. would advance.
So if Italy scores 4, weโre good regardless, right?
PASQUANTINO!!! BREAK OUT THE WINE!!! ๐ฎ๐น๐ฎ๐น๐ฎ๐น๐ฎ๐น
One more push, it's free for everyone, a deep dive into Connor Bedard at the 200-game mark, what are the green shoots and what are the warning lights.

If only there was a championship-caliber manager available who's used to pulling his starter after 65 pitches in big games.
Would be awesome if the Cubs picked Cade Horton to start on Opening Day in a battle of the Cades.

I hear he has a cousin whoโs draft eligible this year too.
PCA > Judge, confirmed.
Very clutch strikeout by Gunnar Henderson. Stayed out of the double play to let Aaron Judge bat.
Is Team Italyโs victory song Bella Ciao?
P-C-A!!!!
GUNNAR!
Minchia! ๐ค๐ป
Kyle Teel pulled his capocollo rounding first.
How many points did Bam Adebayo score tonight?
