N: Apparently a side effect of the revised sliding rules is that Chase Utley won't have to serve that two game suspension he earned in October.

V: I think sitting out two games is the least he could do for breaking a dude's leg, but it was a laughable punishment to begin with.

Sounds like Arrieta and the Cubs have had extension talks. It seems like the AAV is there, but the two sides disagree on years. Arrieta wants 7. And he's 30. The Cubs understandably are wary of that.

Yeah, I'm okay with these talks stopping until we see what he has in store this year because that's a lot of years for a guy that has yet to prove consistency.

Mike Trout spoke out against bat flips yesterday. This is upsetting, guys.

I would suggest we send him to some sort of baseball purgatory for crimes against fun, but I'm not sure we could manage much worse than the Angels.

this fuckin' season

and it hasn't even started

On the one hand, it's cool that Sale is sticking up for his teammate. On the other hand, this is going a bit far. Can you think of any other job where you could make demands to the guy with hire and fire power like "stay out of the clubhouse"?

let's be honest, in what world would the man with "hire/fire" power be willing to let go of Chris loving Sale? I think Sale has the upper hand here

Oh yeah, no doubt. I mean, I'm the guy kind of complaining about it and I'd keep him because he's Chris Sale. Just for most people it's a ticket to unemployment city.

what happened to future god of baseball andy laroche?

Apparently he's as desirable as clubhouse mascot Drake LaRoche.

Also, I just found out the LaRoche boys went to high school within an hour of where I live and I had never heard about this before.

So I know you guys like tacos, but how do you feel about cheesesteaks?

I'm more interested in the T-Bones, since they're named after actual steak.

My first instinct is to always say Yankees but they already have a bad switch-hitting third baseman and he'd have to get in line to play first. And it's not a buffet line.

Also the facial hair embargo.

Reminder that the Tampa v Cuba game is streaming on MLB.tv and begins in 5 minutes.

I really want Cuba to show up wearing something akin to the Cubs' 90's "Cuba" jersey design.

I look forward to Cespedes spending five minutes digging for a ball in the ivy at Wrigley this year because he doesn't want to repeat the same mistake.

I'm sad that Mune isn't making the team out of camp, but if he re-signs, then there's hope he can join in when an infield injury kicks in.

Yeah, isn't Lester a notoriously bad hitter? Pitcher dingers are cool.

I think the bulk of his hits last year came from now teammate again, John Lackey.
