## Resource

It was an exciting first weekend of MLB action! Hunter Pence and Buster Olney discuss shaking off Opening Day jitters, how rookies dominated the conversation to start the season, first impressions of the ABS System, the San Francisco Giants starting 0-3, and how teams move on from losses. Then, ESPN’s Jorge Castillo stops by to talk about the Toronto Blue Jays and New York Yankees sweeping their respective series to open the season, and the Los Angeles Dodgers treating the regular season like a dress rehearsal. Then, Sarah Langs plays The Numbers Game. Laters, Buster answers your questions during Bleacher Tweets. 0:00 Hunter Pence joins the show 3:39 Rookies rule first MLB weekend 5:59 Guardians Chase DeLauter 8:08 Tigers Kevin McGonigle 9:43 Reds Sal Stewart 11:23 JJ Wetherholt 13:08 ABS System initial impressions 18:18 Giants start 0-3 28:33 ESPN’s Jorge Castillo 29:06 Mets start 2-1 30:36 Juan Soto seems relaxed 33:05 Yankees & Blue Jays sweep 37:01 Is this Dave Roberts’ best Dodger team? 38:41 Sarah Langs 40:00 Bleacher Tweets CALL THE SHOW: 406-404-8460 EMAIL THE SHOW: BleacherTweets@gmail.com REACH OUT ON X: #BLEACHERTWEETS Follow The Baseball Tonight Podcast on… YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHeL6O-A-ASmSMwbSCFvPKEq1Cslo_lrw Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5FG6xCcd338SgZjZ9urHRI Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/baseball-tonight-with-buster-olney/id137699414 Learn more about your ad choices.
