Opening Day GameThread

It is finally here. Opening Day. Real Baseball.

We should have a prize for the best Zach Britton joke.

So there are a couple of bits of news:

• Ross Atkins says that Roberto Osuna, on the DL with a sore neck, will only be out the 10 days.
• Gibby says that Pearce is at first and Carerra is in left because Estrada is a fly ball pitcher.
• Pompey should be back on the field 'within weeks'. That worries me.
• Aaron Sanchez will make his first start of the season, Jays game five.

And:

Ross Atkins says #BlueJays chose Ryan Goins over Melvin Upton Jr because of value on his versatility. Says Upton skill set "redundant"
