From Last Night:

• Quentin suspended 8 games for Thursday’s incident, Greinke will miss 8 weeks
• Reyes injures his ankle in an 8-4 win over the Royals, will miss 1-3 months
• Masterson throws a CGSO in a 1-0 win of the White Sox
• Kershaw gives up first 3 runs of the season, loses
• Ramiro Pena’s HR lifts the Braves over the Nats in 10

What I’m Watching Today:

• Strasburg takes on Hudson in DC (1p Eastern)
• Bumgarner and Samardzija face off at Wrigley (1p Eastern)
• Matt Harvey faces the Twins (4p Eastern)
• Dickey and Shields battle in a clash of new team aces (7p Eastern)

The Big Question:

• How long will the Angels be able to avoid panicking after another slow start?

So much happened on Friday and there are many interesting matchups coming up today that I really had to truncate those bullet points for the first time. I didn’t even mention the Phillies winning in extras or the Astros beating up on the Angels. The Quentin suspension is too light for my taste but fits with precedent. MLB needs to readjust the punishment for this type of thing, as I wrote yesterday. Clear your schedules today because Strasburg, Harvey, Verlander, Price, Lester, Dickey, and many other top pitchers are on the hill. It’s a good time to be alive, people.
