All the red statements below are wrong. All the green ones turned out true.

- A starter will be yanked in the first inning after having had the audacity to throw ball one.

- There will be a game with no more than four runs scored that ends in regulation and still takes more than 3:45 to play.


- Either Yasiel Puig or Manny Machado will do something outrageous earning them wholesale condemnation, but not earn them actual punishment.

- Joe Buck will be terrific.
According to my count there were 56.2 innings tossed by starting pitchers; 48.1 innings by relief pitchers.

I will give myself the last two, because Manny Mouthful stepped on another first baseman and I could not find anything on a fine for that. Puig was just the usual punk.

And how do you not love Joe Bu- OKAY, OKAY.
