First pitches you may have missed opening week. Mayor Eric Adams got the season started in The Bronx. Bengals QB Joe Burrow in Cincinnati. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at the Truckers Annual Softball game in Ottawa and Hunter Biden tossed the first pitch at the Chinese Baseball League opener (via Zoom on his new laptop).
Tense moments in the City of Brotherly Love though as Philly’s own Will Smith threw a strike to catcher JT Realmuto who quickly exited to the dugout when Smith walked menacingly towards home plate.
Tom Seaver’s grandkids, Thomas and Tobin, get the season started at Citi Field. The D’Backs Zach Davies will attempt to slow down the Mets who went 5-2 on the road. Davies allowed two runs over five to the Padres in his first start with the Snakes. The Mets’ Chris Bassitt shut out the Nats for six innings in his initial outing in blue & orange. Taking C Bass and the Mets for 10 units.
OOHtani! Shohei was pounded for six runs, including a grand salami by Jonah Heim, and Texas toasted the Angels 10-5. Down -165 messersmiths.
