Week 1: First Thursday Roundup - Opening Day!

I don't know if I'll be putting on this headset again.

Welcome back to another season of Studs, Duds, and making fun of the Mets and other baseball atrocities.

STUDS 
  • Eric Hosmer (JVC) was the first triple-shy-of-a-cycle guy of the year, driving in 3 runs. We're gonna call them #tripleshy from here on out to save all the typing. 
  • Nick Castellanos (JVC) was #tripleshy, scoring twice and driving in 2. I guess technically he was before Hosmer, whatever. We assume the homer was a deep drive to left
  • Paul Goldschmidt (LCL) had 2 doubles, two singles, an RBI and 3 runs scored. 
  • Jake Cronenworth (LCL) singled, tripled, scored 3 runs and drove in 2. 
  • Josh Hader (SCC) vultured a win with a 3-strikeout inning. 
  • Ketel Marte (CB) was #tripleshy, adding a second single and scoring twice.
DUDS
  • Freddie Freeman (TIN) lived up to his first-round billing with an opening-day error. 
  • Luis Castillo (BOPP) blew up, in the bad way, allowing 8 earned and striking out no one in a 3.1-inning loss.
HEALTH DUDS 
  • The Nats brought their specific brand of dysfunction to Opening Day, managing to outdo the Mets in a battle of laughable ineptness by having enough COVID issues to postpone Thursday's game. The teams won't play until Saturday at the earliest. 
Ah, that opening day weather we all look forward to.
