The AL East Guy

O’s decided to leave Trevor Rogers in for the 7th. Issued a leadoff walk, erased it on a double play and retired the side on a second groundout. 7 shutty for the southpaw. Maybe a run will be scored at some point? #Orioles

If that’s it for Trevor Rogers on opening day, not too shabby! Didn’t have his A+ command but stranded runners whenever he needed to. 6 scoreless frames in his season debut #Orioles

Longtime Ray puts the first on the board

#Rays lineup card March 26, 2026 at St. Louis Cardinals 4:15 PM Drew Rasmussen vs Matthew Liberatore

@YankeeSource If I remember correctly, a lot of his issues last year were not knowing whether to go to the bag or after a grounder towards the second baseman. Those kind of judgement plays you can only figure out with game reps

@SethGuttman He seemed very comfortable at first in spring games as well, but it’s good to see it carry over.

Ben Rice’s defense was strong this spring, and he showed some good glove work last night.

@Orioles That's a relief! I heard they charge for high fives at Dodger Stadium

Gates ➡️ Open High fives ➡️ Free Vibes ➡️ Immaculate

The Red Sox have been one of the most platoon heavy lineups over the last couple years. Don't expect that to change. When a lefty is on the mound, Marcelo Mayer likely isn't going to play. I honestly expected Andruw Monasterio was going to get the nod over IKF

#RedSox lineup card March 26, 2026 at Cincinnati Reds 4:10 PM Garrett Crochet vs Andrew Abbott

#Orioles lineup card March 26, 2026 vs Minnesota Twins 3:05 PM Joe Ryan vs Trevor Rogers

Josh Bell is the only Twin in today's starting lineup to have more than one career at-bat vs Trevor Rogers. He's 6-for-13 with 2 doubles #Orioles

@afkostka I'd love to see Buck shoot some hoops. I bet he has some game 😂

Opening day vibe from Craig Albernaz: shooting a mini basketball in his office. He swished one: “I’m a walking bucket!”

@TalkinYanks That we don't have to watch another baseball game on Netflix for the rest of the season

What was your most positive takeaway from the Opening Night win?

The Orioles have so much pitching depth they optioned workhorse Dean Kremer to AAA The Rays and Blue Jays had to tap into their depth with late spring injuries; nice to have Joe Boyle, Eric Lauer and Max Scherzer to have in the wings So much depth everywhere!

I can't ever remember the AL East having more pitching depth than it does to start this season The Red Sox barely found room for both Early and Oviedo to make the opening day roster The Yankees will have decisions to make on Weathers/Warren/Gil when Cole & Rodon return

AL East Probable Pitchers for 3/26/26: 3:05 PM - Twins (Joe Ryan) at Orioles (Trevor Rogers) 4:10 PM - Red Sox (Crochet) at Reds (Abbott) 4:15 PM - Rays (Rasmussen) at Cardinals (Liberatore)

Starting the season on the west coast feels like the ideal time to knock out a long road trip. You haven’t settled into a home routine, you’ve essentially already been on the road for six weeks during spring training and there’s extra off days mixed in

Yankees Recap Thread for 3/25/26 defeated the Giants 7-0 W - Max Fried (1-0) L - Logan Webb (0-1) Max Fried was absolutely brilliant. Had to strand a couple runners in the 1st and then shut the Giants down for 6.1 innings with no traffic.
