Is anyone on offense going to show up besides Campbell and Abreu?

He swung at a s***** pitch out of the zone and hit a weak grounder to advance Rafaela to third with 2 outs. It wasn’t very productive as with two outs Rafaela is likely scoring on any hit anyway.

Devers is essentially an automatic out right now. It’s really hard to watch, especially when we know how good he is

First full game I can watch this season. I have a feeling this his is Devers breakout game. He just needs something to get his some confidence, even an infield single or lineout would do at this point.

No, but Trout is doing it against the White Sox.

“Aren’t ready for primetime” based on 3 games in March? A lot of guys slump, it just looks worse at the start of the season when guys averages can fluctuate a lot or stay at .000

Devers can’t even put the ball in play. This is brutal

Devers looks absolutely lost at the plate. Taking pitches down the middle with two strikes, swinging at nonsense early in the count. He needs to get his s*** together and quick.

I think it’s finally working now

MLB tv not working on opening day? Awesome

Arizona doesn’t have a chance. I’m hoping Maryland can keep it close with Florida

I never count out those *******s in New York till I heard they’ve been eliminated from the playoffs.

I really hate the start time as I work from 12-8 on Thursday’s, but im excited for baseball to be back regardless. Alright got tickets for the Baltimore game next Wednesday and it’s going to be 45 degree first pitch!

I agree. I just don’t really see a spot for him or think his ceiling is all that high. I’m not necessarily advocating to trade him with his value being at an all time low, but for a pitcher or another position player whose similar age who could help somewhere else, I’d be down for trying a swap. Hell, Rockies just gave up on Nolan Jones already after he had a 4 WAR season in 2023 and was hurt last year.

In regards to Jackie Robinson - if you don’t consider him not just a baseball legend, but an American hero, I don’t know what to even really say.

He can occasionally be right, just like Colin Cowherd who I also despise. However, I feel like more times than not they’re saying something absolutely ridiculous for clicks and half the stuff they argue they don’t actually believe in or if they do believe in it, they shouldn’t be allowed to talk about sports for a living. Stephen A Smith has multiple times defended athletes who hit women and even said and implied women are to blame sometimes when it happens, specifically defending Ray Rice. Colin Cowherd said John Wall wouldn’t be a good role model or leader because he didn’t have a dad in his life. John Wall’s dad died from cancer when he was young and John Wall was one of the best players in the league and even better off the field. He has won multiple awards for his community service is heavily involved with young kids battling cancer after both his parents died from it. And when it comes to baseball, both have criticized non American players unfairly and have been fired/suspended for it, but still continue to get jobs and a platform. Maddie already mentioned SAS’s comments about Ohtani and non English speaking players but Cowherds comments about Dominican players was even worse.

I don’t really care to comment too much on political stuff - but one thing I would like to point out is Stephen A Smith is an absolute moron. The fact he didn’t face more flack for what he said about Ohtani, especially with his history of stupid and offensive comments is ridiculous. I believe he got suspended for defending Ray Rice when he beat his girlfriend. Not more has he kept his job over the years, he just got a $100 million dollar contract.

I’d love to take a shot on McKenzie. Dude has filthy stuff and while we’d be selling low on Grissom, we’d also be buying low on McKenzie. I’m also not convinced we’re even selling Grissom low. He very well could just suck

That was a little before I remember starting to watch baseball. I forgot Bichette even played in Boston. His WAR numbers are fun to look at though!

I just saw that former White Sox and Red Sox pitcher Bobby Jenks had his house burn down in the California wildfires and lost everything and on top of that he’s battling stage 4 stomach cancer and is attempting to do an autograph signing to raise money for his medical bills. Really depressing

I really like Hamiltons game. He is fine defensively at 2nd and he causes havoc on offense. I don’t think this is like last season where we get absolutely horrendous production in the first half at 2B like we did from Grissom and Valdez.

Marcelo and Campbell went back to back earlier, and later Roman Anthony hit an absolute BOMB. Homer for all of the big 3 tonight

I figured that would be the outcome. It was always a media thing more than an actual clubhouse issue.

Trayce Thompson is putting up Barry Bonds numbers this spring, just hit another bomb
