The Cubs have a prospect named Moises Ballesteros and I genuinely hope he has a phenomenal MLB career, with any team, for no other reason than his name is Moises Ballesteros and that rules and I want to hear a bunch of old white announcers fail horrible to say his name correctly.

Bad news friend, all those old white announcers are golfers so that one is gonna be a free space on the Mark Grudzielanek Memorial Bingo Card.

So is there any reason to think the Red Sox will be better than last year? I guess they got Sale back.

Maybe marginally, but nobody knows what you're getting with Eduardo Rodriguez which I think will be important to the success or failure of the team.

They got rid of Benintendi and signed Marwin Gonzalez, Garrett Richards, Hunter Renfroe, and picked up Adam Ottavino in a trade. JBJ wasn't re-signed and is still a FA.

Not only that, but it was Julio Rodriguez driving in Jarred Kelenic that scored the winning run. Love to see it.

Be pleased with the reactions on display. Fish are gonna be fun this year since everyone knows they're gonna be terrible, so everyone's just playing to have a good time.

Brinson, for those of you who didn't purchase a program, was worth -0.1 WAR last year, his breakout season in which he recorded an OPS+ of 72. He has an OPS+ of 48 for his career, which has been worth -3.2 WAR over 4 years.

So happy baseball is back! Really looking forward to the Jays this year. I don't really have any expectations other than I think it will be fun and I'm interested in how the young guys play. Have no idea about what to expect from the pitching aside from Ryu. It should be interesting.

I can’t pretend to be inside his head but wouldn’t it make his life a whole lot easier if he could just pitch to whoever? why would he make it difficult on purpose for him and the team

I was like 60% joking but ace pitchers having personal catchers isn't a new thing. That has been around forever.

Yeah I think you need a router level VPN. Doing on a client specific level will likely still show your location and cancel you out.

No mercy rule per se, but since AA and lower are starting later there are no Minor League Guys (RIP) in camp so games can be 5 or 7 innings, half-innings can be called after 20 pitches and I think a few more rules. We probably won't see 9 inning games till the end of ST.
