Great performance by Shōta.
Concerned that he had no ground ball outs and 2-3 of the long fly balls would leave the yard if winds weren’t blowing in. Guessing he’s an experienced enough and capable pitcher who would alter his pitch selection to decrease fly balls if conditions changed.
Yes, it was against the Rockies who are expected to lose 100 games but it was a healthy Rockies roster with guys like Bryant, Blackmon, etc neither on DL nor dealing with nagging injuries yet.
Great to witness the energy, the crowds, and the win for the opener
