6-1 first. Not a bad start!

We opened the season with a three base error though. But real power from Gold on 3R HR. Kel Johnson got a hit to start his GT career.

I missed part of the first inning (broken water line seemed like a higher priority for some reason), King looks like he's doing fine ...... sh1t King just gave up a HR after putting 4 down in a row. 6-2

8-2 after Kel Johnson hits a ground-rule double

8-3 halfway through

10-3 bottom 7 Pabst just doubled in 2

Oops 13-3 Kel Johnson with a 2 run shot, 2nd HR today.

7th inning, 10 men to the plate so far. Our pitcher is very cold ...... 13-3. Schniederjans needs to do something to warm up.

We score 13 every game and we'll do ok.

Kel is only 4 for 5 today. Not bad to start off his GT career. I wonder how much is raw talent and how much is pitchers don't know how to pitch to him. Since Hall put Kel in clean up spot, you have to think Hall is very confident in his hitting ability.

Up 13-3 in the 8th Kel is replaced for defense. I expect this to happen all season - Kel gets pulled when he may have seen his last at bat for defense.

Raw talent is hard to beat, he is at as much as a disadvantage as the pitchers in that neither have seen the other

He might be decent ;-)

Winning 17-3. Took us 5 games to score 17 runs last year.

Oops 13-3 Kel Johnson with a 2 run shot, 2nd HR today.

I think you're thinking of Brandon Gold's first homer

Other than a couple of jittery opening day plays in the field, I thought we looked really good today. But I guess you always do when you win by 17-3. Still, I am encouraged.

By the way, will we ever get any info about the drone that interrupted the game today? Like....who did it belong to? And why were they flying over RCS? Was it the Feds spying on us?

It was the same guy from The White House episode

Going to be interesting how the flat seam balls play out for us this year

I don't understand the excitement. Drones are pretty low tech ... this one was the helicopter variety, probably controlled visually and fell apart on its own. Hardly an exemplary model.

Now if it had been weaponized to dodge and destroy baseballs thrown at it, that would be cool.

I think Fox News said Obama was behind it and CNBC said Boehner was. And Cheney said it was a terrorist threat.

Looks like the lowered seams are having their impact. I think it's good, a good team in a premier conference should be able to threaten to put up 15-20 against an also ran program like St Johns any given day; the situation last year where every game was 3-2 was atrocious. Also, GT hit 3 homers yesterday-team didn't hit 3 in a game one time last season.
