This is dumb indeed.

Also do you know which national team is participating in the 2019's football America Cup? Japan. At one point the marketing people behind these decisions have got to realize it just looks silly as hell and devaluates the product over time, all in the name of some quick yens.
I'm hoping Qatar takes that whole thing down.

Still waits for congratulations from mysticmac @mysticmac for the Sox punishment, yet again, of the yankoffs in the playoffs
The Sox did have a better manager and team, so it wasn’t fair, but can you not be humble in both victory (rare lately in the bronx) and defeat?

Finally. Opening Day is here. No, I don't count that stupid Japan shit.

Reds starting lineup has Votto batting 2nd. That's something I've been screaming for. He's spent the majority of his career in the 3 hole, but his OBP prowess outpaces his power numbers so it makes more sense to bat him 2nd. The addition of Puig - who is a perfect 3 hole hitter - likely made this an easy decision for new manager David Bell.

1 - LF Winker
2 - 1B Votto
3 - RF Puig
4 - 3B Suarez
5 - CF Schebler
6 - 2B Peraza
7 - C Barnhart
8 - SS Iglesias
9 - P Castillo

Scooter Gennett is out 8-12 weeks with a groin strain. I'm a little excited to see Iglesias glove it at SS. Even without Gennett (2018 slash .310/.357/.456), there is plenty of pop in that lineup.

I'm looking forward to a 1st inning walk to Votto followed by a Puig bomb to left center.

Reds win 5-3
Pirates had the bases juiced in the 9th but the Reds hold on.

Probably gonna go 162-0

FYI - If you have DirecTV, you have a free preview of MLB Extra Innings. Every game is available.

I think it runs through the weekend.

Shit. Forgot to record the Brewers game so I could watch Front Row Amy keeping score.

Jesus. What a shit effort by White Sox 2nd baseman Sanchez.

Run scores. Royals have them at the corners with 1 out. Up 3-0.
