It was a dumb move to not air this WBC for free on network TV or like amazon prime it could have gotten a ton of AD money and exposure for mlb
I heard that 64% of all TVs in Japan were tuned to the game last night. That is insane.

I can only assume this one beats that.

I saw ohtani from 2 ft away during spring training at tempre diablo stadium in 2018 those stadiums are intimate AF. I see trout at the big A.
I was there about 2 weeks ago.
No Ohtani, but Trout played the whole game.

The Reds/Padres game yesterday took only 1:52 to complete.

If you haven't been watching baseball with these new rules, I think you'll be very surprised by the pace of play when the regular season ramps up next week.

1 more sleep until Opening Day.

When I wake up tomorrow, the Reds are tied for 1st place. And when I go to sleep tomorrow night, the worst they'll be is 1 game out.

The Yankees game is on a 10am, and I've got tickets to the Mariners game at 7pm. Tomorrow is for baseball.

On the bump tomorrow for your Cincinnati Reds is Hunter Greene. At only 23 years old, he is the youngest opening day starting pitcher in MLB this year.



Reds can hopefully hold on to him for a few years before he becomes a Yankee. Good young talent.

Nice. I saw Castillo is starting for the Mariners tomorrow. Dude has nasty stuff. Arguably the best change-up in the game.

I loved watching him pitch back when we had a major league team. When he was on, the looks on the hitters faces were often "What the fuck was that?"

Also...
Happy Opening Day everyone.

I was going to head downtown for the parade but I have a meeting I can't skip at work today. But I will definitely be back home for 1st pitch.

In 2004, Barry Bonds had more HRs (45) than he did strikeouts (41)

He was so dialed in that year he was walked 232 times - 120 of those being intentional.

The 2nd most intentional walks that season was Jim Thome with 26.

The Yankees are the best team in baseball with a 5-0 win over SF.

Cole set the team record for the most K's on opening day with 11 through 6.
Judge went yard in his first AB of the season.
Gleyber hit is two run shot.
DJ and Judge each played a little small ball with RBI singles.

Blue Jays @ Cards in a good one.

9-8 Cards top of 9
Toronto has them on the corners with nobody out.
