Around Baseball 2018

[BTS]

was going too, but I have meetings booked... f***'n work interfering with baseball

 

This. Ugh.

 

Amateurs. I booked this off back in January so this wouldn't happen.

[jays4life19]

I'll just watch baseball at work; i have two monitors and it's generally accepted that one is solely used for baseball stuff.

Yeah, I really let the community down.

This reminds me of the guys I knew who took a week off work every time a World of Warcraft expansion came out.

Ya i booked off opening day off last month.... My wife is very excited about it. Although it works out great this year because 4 day weekend lol

[Abomination]

The correct answer is to book time off for both!

[Terminator]

When will Opening Day rosters be set? I.E. when do they start putting guys on the DL? My fantasy squads want to know.

I believe they have to be in to the MLB office Noon Est, opening day. Most teams will be doing it after their final games today or tomorrow officially.

s***!!!! Puk may have Tommy John to fix his bicep issue...wtf

[bzapple]

Lol what's with Boxy sucking off Greg Bird ITT? The guy has 348 PAs in his career, take it easy.

Him TOO?

 

Ah the good old days. Then I got married and had to choose between that, and regular sex.

Shut up

Man, every time I've seen the Cubs play this spring, I never recognize Schwarber initially, he's done an amazing job getting in shape. Also, Butterfield's the Cubbies 3rd base coach.

I didn't know regular sex was a thing after you get married...

Hoping for a big year from da Schwarbz

Good read with Davidi and Buck on friction in the Union and possible labour battle, hadn't realized Buck was an integral part of the Unions in the past, neat insight.

It's not.

Rays are releasing Daniel Hudson, and paying him most of his 5.5M salary. What a terrible org.

It makes no sense at all. Eovaldi is hurt and might be out a while, which should likely push Andriese into the rotation. That means they'll need to replace Andriese's spot in the bullpen, which could've easily gone to Hudson.

I don't have any idea what is going on there. They could have cut Dickerson, and come out $4+M ahead of where they are now. Surely Tristan Gray isn't worth that much to them.

What the f***? First PPD game already tomorrow... Nats @ Reds PPD... not sure why, Gametime Forecast: 61°F • Light Rain • 42% PoP???

 

It looks like it's 75% increasing into the 90% range during the game (and basically the rest of the night).

 

I wouldn't be surprised to see PIT - DET get rained out either, although the rain looks like it'll be a little lighter than the Nats - Reds game.

[bzapple]

That Yankees 2-3-4 is going to be a tough assignment for Happ.

[Orgfiller]

Yonny Chirinos time baby

 

Damn you!

[Orgfiller]

That Yankees 2-3-4 is going to be a tough assignment for anyone

 

Fixed. It's a very good offense but at least it's no Astros.

I'm just going by the BP info... didn't seem as bad as you say, obviously.
