The onslaught begins in about a minute. It's 14:05 central daylight. Most games begin now but a few will start in five or ten or even fifteen minutes. The idea behind this Sunday Shotgun start is to put all competitors in the same state, allowing no team an advantage of knowing what has already happened in another game. It looks like Detroit at Minnesota is delayed. I'm Moving. San Diego is already on the board. That's Johnny Cueto for San Francisco. Carlos Asuaje rips one foul—he is in the hole. He singles. Rough start for Cueto after a miserable season that never even got off the ground. I'm going to jump around a lot today. There are certain players I need to see. Solarte singles to left. Erick Aybar scores. I'm moving. Pivetta Nick Pivetta strikes out Nori Aoki. The fastball is an easy 94. There's a curve at 79 that is high and not bendy enough. Then he hits Phillip Evans with the next attempt. A fastball away at 96 to Nimmo. Jam-j
