Opening Day

    With baseball being the greatest sport on the planet, it finally Opening Day!!!! Now Opening Day is a sacred thing. It’s one of the most exhilarating events besides the Olympics, the Superbowl, maybe the birth of your children. Still, Opening Day is an amazing day.
    Since the Toronto Blue Jays and the Tampa Bay Rays were the first to square off this 2016 season many things looked promising for both teams. On the offensive side of the ball the most surprising part of everything is the reigning MVP Josh Donaldson had three strike outs and a hit and a run scored. The three strike outs is what concerns me the most.  I get that it’s the first game, but its three strike outs. The only person that had a better first game was Troy Tulowitzki. Even though he went 2 for 3, but it was a good 2 for 3. I know that it doesn’t sound good. But it is good. There is a down to his 2 for 3 though. He struck out twice, which I bad. But the only hit he had he scored, plus he hit 2 people in. the downside to the whole Blue Jays team was that they had 16 total strike outs.
    On the flipside Tampa Bay did everything right, but they couldn’t score runs. Pitcher Chris Archer pitched one hell of a game. With throwing five innings, twelve strike outs, three walks, and only two earned run. I think it was a pretty good day. Now Evan Longoria had the best out of the whole Tampa Bay Rays squad. With having only one strike out and 2 runs batted in. Things went well for the whole team. But they just couldn’t run the bases. With only seven strike outs the team was on top of everything. Even with the only 1 walk that should have been an easy run. But the Rays just couldn’t keep up with the Blue Jays.
