Hayes and Newman so far are the only two players today who played in the season opener.

Wow. 5 innings and no runs surrendered by the pen. And, none of the 5 pitchers who pitched for the Pirates today were with the team on opening day, and some of today's pitchers likely will not be with the team on opening day in 2023.

Lastly, losing 100 (again) does not bring much joy, but I am glad that my prediction of 58 wins on this Board's contest turned out to be too low.

And don't forget Giusti and Gossage.

I would go with the Mariners, Guardians, Cards & Mets

Call me crazy but I see the Guardians winning the AL pennant

I’ve been impressed with their solid lineup and pitching and their incredible last month of the season.

Jays, Rays, Cardinals, and Mets to advance.
