Opening Day Highlighted With Injuries- 3/2/17
Pittsburgh 2B - Sammy Berroa left the opener after just 2 at bats with a hamstring injury and was placed on the 15 day DL. His replacement Douglas Bennett misplayed a routine grounder in the 6th inning which allowed the game to be tied on a 2 run triple with the next at bat. Pittsburgh went on to lose the opener 9-7 to the defending champs.
​
The bigger news was in San Francisco where the Pelicans SP Magglio Avila left the game after just 3.2 innings with a torn labrum and will miss the next 3 months. Avila is in year number 2 of a 4 year deal.
Boston Has Impressive Spring
After failing to failing to make the play-offs in either year, the Back Alley Bombers had a great spring going 14-4 to lead all teams. They also led the league with a .325 BA and an OPS of .906. Are the Bombers ready to make some noise as opening day approaches?
​
Meanwhile after falling short in the fall classic last season, the Monterrey Vatos Locos led the league with 39 HR's. Are they ready to repeat as AL champs?
