Stiches
The legendary Hondo has retired, replaced by our new baseball handicapping column called Stitches. Enjoy. And good luck.
Rebound, Stitches. Close shaves on Day 1, but we’re back in business. Put two in the win column playing a pair of prohibitive favorites. Both the Amazin’s and Nats did as expected in their respective openers. Thor laid down the hammer; no runs through six while the rival Nationals had to come from behind to hook the Marlins. Lowered the deficit to 34 roenickes, as well as my blood pressure.
W’s under the belt we take our good vibrations to Arlington on Tuesday night, where the Indians’ Carrasco will make a start after missing time with an elbow injury this spring. Backing the bit more reliable Perez and the Rangers for 20 units.
