Dodgers fans have a ball on Opening Day

Seager batted.308 with 26 home runs and 72 RBI in his first full major league season.

But there was no presidential first pitch for 2017 as US President Donald Trump reportedly declined an invitation to make the ceremonial toss at the Washington Nationals’ home game against the Miami Marlins.

SAN DIEGO NOTES: Chacin was not good in his final tune up before the regular season, scattering eight hits, six runs and two walks over three innings against the White Sox. Unfortunately, he was unable to get out of the fifth injuring his knee after being slid into and finishing with three earned runs in an inning and a third.

Earlier in the day, the Blurred Lines video vixen had started her week with an Instagram photo showing her from behind standing in the ocean in a skimpy swimsuit.

I was lucky enough to be in attendance in 2013 when Clayton Kershaw dominated the Giants with a shut out. “It literally is one game out of 162 right now”.

Outlook: The Dodgers are coming off their fourth consecutive division title and a trip to the N.L. Championship Series, so they appear to be perhaps the biggest threat to the Cubs’ dominance in the National League.

But Green refused to get hung up in a numbers game.

“I didn’t make good pitches when I needed to, especially in the third inning”, he said.

“He didn’t really command the off-speed stuff, which is kind of his bread and butter”, Green said. “He couldn’t effectively throw the off-speed (stuff) when he’s behind in the count, too”. After building a 5-1 lead through three innings, the Rangers wouldn’t score again. The next batter, former Padres catcher Yasmani Grandal, followed with a solo shot. In his last outing against the Padres, Maeda allowed three runs and three hits in four innings in a 7-1 loss by the Dodgers on September 27. “I just wanted to see how it looked”.

“This is a small sample, in one game”, Roberts said. San Diego managed a run in the top of the first after Wil Myers reached on a throwing error by Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager and later scored on a Yangervis Solarte single, but that one obviously went unearned. Grandal’s second homer came from the right side of the dish in the eighth inning versus Jose Torres, and was a two-run.

Had you time-traveled back to spring training in 1989 and told Hershiser it would be this long, he would not have taken it well. His absence in the outfield opens up a spot for Andrew Toles, who was called up last July and hit.314 in 48 games with the big-league club. “It’s awesome to be a part of”. Pederson’s five RBIs were the most in a Dodgers’ opener since Raul Mondesi drove in six on April 5, 1999 against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Sure, the Dodgers have a potent lineup, but Chacin is San Diego’s Opening Day starter, and must have accomplished something to put himself ahead of Clayton Richard in the minds of the coaching staff. And let’s not forget the Padres have exactly two winning seasons since their last playoff appearance in 2006, and none since 2011.
