This gameday open thread will have two parts and it is all user-generated…
- Up until first pitch, use the comments section to predict who you think will be the Sunburst Player of the Game. (be sure to use a valid email address while leaving the comment). The commenter that correctly predicts who we will name the Sunburst Player of the Game the most times prior to the all-star game, will win two tickets to a second-half game. [Click here for rules]
- Once the game starts the GBT open thread will be your thoughts during the game of what you think are The Good, The Bad and/or The Telling moments of the game.

The better half of Niemann-Marcus.
If the giraffe isn’t a bright spot – i’m afraid another loss is eminent
Aki for me
Aki for me today….still looking for my first win
Sunburst POG:Pat Burrell he’s due hopefully soon.
I will probably make this a weekend post in coming weeks, but for now i will just put it here.
Our early leader through 4 games is Dave (email: dmea****@hotmail.com) with 2 correct.
In second place is about 10 different people with 1.
Player of the Game: Jeff Niemann for Baltimore
Longoria just looks bat shit crazy good. Tell you what, I’ll take Longo for the sunburst player of every game from here on out, & i’ll Usain Bolt those golden tickets.
Just like I doubt Bartlett isnt going to keep his 892 OPS, I doubt Burrell will maintain a 301 OPS. However I’m not so sure about Joyce. 625 OPS may end up being his number for a while.
