I’m exhausted from a long, satisfying day at the stadium and have to fly to Philly in the morning for work so this is going to be a very quick post about todays game.  To save my brain from stressing too much, I’m going with bullet points, that way I don’t have to form paragraphs.

• Zach Duke was thoroughly unimpressive, a huge departure from his home opener start last year
• Garrett Jones first home run was an absolute bomb.  Say what you will about the minor league track record, but his power is for real.
• It was really nice to see Doumit hit the home run that sealed it.
• In addition to Duke’s struggles, Carrasco also didn’t look good.
• All the normal 1 game, small sample size caveats, but the defense was pretty good today, aside from a late inning grounder that I thought Aki could have gotten to.

Also, Brandon Moss cleared waiver’s today and has been out-righted to AAA, which is nice.  If he can ever find his stroke at the plate, it would be nice to see that happen in Pittsburgh, rather than say, Texas.
