Thanks gentlemen.  My oldest son joined his first fantasy league yesterday, but I'm obviously a little rusty with some of the finer details.  I will say - it's pretty cool to see your kid join a fantasy league and follow the love of baseball in your footsteps.  My youngest also asked me to pick him up at school early so he can watch the Jays game from opening pitch today.  It's a good day!

Just a little update - I send my youngest back to school in the 4th inning.  f*** the Jays for ruining my day.

Was flipping between games and managed to catch Cam Smith's first big league hit haha. 

Was watching mainly the Braves/Padres, Giants/Reds and Pirates/Marlins. Fun to see Skenes vs. Sandy, both arms looked great!

Not only did Biggio and Pillar make their respective clubs, they're in the opening day lineup. Is Rowdy next... 👀

Yup, Rowdy's playing 1B and starting tonight too. Hah!

Had an RBI too!

Only 9 games today on the first Friday of the regular season. This scheduling is so bad. 

Heck, even some teams didn't play yesterday like Tampa and Colorado.

Yeah their pen looks like it's going to be shaky. Going to be their achilles' heel this season.

Pretty sure in the Rays' case the reasoning is they needed some extra time to setup the stadium following the conclusion of the Yankees' ST.

I believe they always do this because they want to have a buffer in case Opening Day gets rained out. Then they can just move it to the next day without a hitch.

Devers is 0-7, with 6 K's since being told he's now a full-time DH.  I wonder at what point you get concerned.  Not yet, but that's a tough start...

Edit: 0-8 with 7 K's

Now Cora is saying he isn't even the backup 3B. 

Wow. 

[Orgfiller]

Yankees just went back-to-back-to-back in the first three pitches of the game against Nestor Cortes making his return to New York. Some welcome back.

[Orgfiller]

4 HR now in the first inning. If you own Nestor Cortes in fantasy, my condolences.

Ya Judge is hitting 60HRs again and carrying that Yankees lineup. 

Crazy to think how underpaid he got with no team willing to even reach 400M for him a few years ago lol.

I'm...not sure?  LOL

Sasaki been kinda bad so far. 

1.2 IP and 4 walks in tonight’s game. Seems his control is just not there yet and looks like the Dodgers are hesitant to let him go beyond 60ish pitches. 

I know its only 2 games, but can you keep trotting him out there to walk 4-5 guys per start? Wonder if he gets sent to AAA to work on things.

That's a new major league record. It's crazy how they have alienated their best player over this. It's not surprising though, given that their manager should have a lifetime ban from baseball.

I'm hoping he busts.
