a rabid potato

I mean, its fine I guess if people want to gamble, but its way too goddamn pervasive already and only getting worse. Every time I see my brother now he's telling me about how he almost won a bunch of money on some absurd parlay, and I just want to smack the poo poo out of him.

And you are only hearing about the wins. That is what is scary, how many times are people betting and losing and not talking about it.

The off day after opening day

Yeah, what’s the deal with this? The angels are here until Sunday; why a day off immediately?

Maybe it’s totally normal to have a day off after game 1 of a series, but it seems unusual to me.

It's because weather in March/April often sucks, so there's a much higher chance a game gets postponed due to weather. Of course that can happen all the time, but no one cares about when you make up home game #38, home openers are a big deal though, and no one wants a doubleheader to open the season.

The worst part of the new jersey is the templating of the names so the Yankees avoid this but LOL @ the sweat stains.

I missed that they reviewed someone out by a mile at home in the 11th of the Marlins game last night to see if the catcher was blocking the plate while tagging him.

Curious -- who is the best 3rd catcher in an org? I assume it's a prospect who has maybe not even debuted yet as opposed to anyone who actually holds the job of "the catcher you hope you never see".

Kyle Harrison beat the Padres in his first start of the year. Tatis and Machado got him for dingers, but he cruised outside of that. And Jung-Hoo Lee is hitting the ball all over the place.

That Dodgers guy is probably the favorite for Rookie of the Year, but those two could give him a run for his money.
