And the bad ideas keep coming.

This seasons a joke anyways with players sitting out voluntarily and forcefully. Might as well go the whole ****ing way with the comic show.

lol that's stupid

Glad my MLB.tv hasn't auto renewed yet. I'm just not excited for the season.

Whyyyyyyyyyyy

Sounds like a last minute attempt by the owners to squeeze out a little more revenue.

Wouldn’t consider Rivera to be a flamethrower by any means.

Opening Day

We gonna lose half our fanbase when our players take a knee today, or nah?

Every team in every sport is doing the knee thing. They going to quit being a sports fan?

As expected.....



1. Kolten Wong (L) - 2B
2. Tommy Edman (S) - 3B
3. Paul Goldschmidt (R) - 1B
4. Paul DeJong (R) - SS
5. Matt Carpenter (L) - DH
6. Yadier Molina (R) - C
7. Dexter Fowler (S) - RF
8. Tyler O'Neill (R) - LF
9. Harrison Bader (R) - CF

RHP Jack Flaherty

Probably as strong a lineup as they can put out there (Carlson not being there being the notable exception). And if Goldschmidt, Carpenter and Fowler play to some level of their career averages, it's actually a pretty good one.

If they play like they played last year (the far more likely scenario), it's gonna be average on its good days and a complete skid-mark on occasion.

Frazod can appreciate this one:
