“OPENING DAY-WHAT I EXPECTED”
==========
Interesting opening day for our teams:

PADRES..Everybody hit and the bullpen did a good job, so it was a great way to start the National League journey.  Fernando Tatis 3-hits and 2-stolen bases, from the guy who says he is 100%-healthy.  Manny Machado had 2-doubles to jump start the season after a poor hitting spring.  5-stolen bases against a rookie catcher.  Jackson Merrill put the ball in play, lots of way, enroute to a 4-RBI day.  A tough start for Michael King, hits and walks plaguing him.  Opening day crowd of 45,000-to kick off the season.  Pretty good day.

DODGERS..Typical win, hit home runs, get a solid start from Blake Snell, and then let all the closers do their job.  Ohtani and Teo Hernandez and Tommy Edman hit bombs.  Typical Blake Snell, a 5-inning outing, over 90-pitches, walks and hits allowed.  The bullpen was strong again.  The Dodgers, in their new gold uniforms, are (3-0).

ANGELS..Bad start, losing to the 121-loss White Sox, getting wiped out.  Big issue is the roster makeup.  6-pitchers who never have had success in the majors, are part of the opening day roster.  4-journeyman utility men in the infield.  And 1-rookie outfielder, who has never played in the majors.  Sure looks like a massive rebuild after a painful 99-loss season a year ago.  Ouch.
