The MLB is back!
We have some crazy scenarios to cover about MLB Opening Day 2021.
The Los Angeles Dodgers traveled to Colorado to play the Rockies and we got one of the weirdest plays in baseball. Cody Bellinger with a runner on hit a moonshot to left field. Justin Turner runner on first, headed towards second, but quickly turned around when he thought the ball was caught. The only problem… it wasn’t caught. Bellinger actually hit a homerun to which Turner misjudged. Turner ran back towards first passing his teammate which resulted in Bellinger being called out. A freak play for opening day.
The Detroit Tigers hosted the Cleveland Indians which was must watch baseball. By must watch I don’t mean both teams are amazing by any means. By must watch I mean it was freaking snowing in Detroit. Couldn’t tell you the last time I watched a baseball game while it was snowing. Made for a great story as Miguel Cabrera launched a home run in which he thought it was only a double as he slid into second base. The snow was so bad he couldn’t see if the ball went over the fence. I don’t know what it was with all the homeruns being misinterpreted.
The rest of the day went as follows…
Toronto Blue Jays 3, New York Yankees 2
Milwaukee Brewers 6, Minnesota Twins 5
Pittsburgh Pirates 5, Chicago Cubs 3
Philadelphia Phillies 3, Atlanta Braves 2
San Diego Padres 8, Arizona Diamondbacks 7
Kansas City Royals 14, Texas Rangers 10
St. Louis Cardinals 11, Cincinnati Reds 6
Tampa Bay Rays 1, Miami Marlins 0
Los Angeles Angels 4, Chicago White Sox 3
Houston Astros 8, Oakland Athletics 1
Seattle Mariners 8, San Francisco Giants 7
Solid Opening Day! A lot of great games and it was nice to see all the stars take the field again. Padres got their first win of the season and they looked great! Minus the last couple innings and Tatis striking out with bases loaded. Brewers looked nice as well. My roommate made a bet with another roommate of mine $100 whoever ends the season with more wins the Cubs or the Brewers. Can’t wait to see how that turns out. That’s all I got this week! I’ll see ya next Friday.
Let me know what you think about Opening Day 2021. Who are you rooting for this season?
