Early returns on our cool and good new pitcher seeming positive, just needs to only ever pitch when it's cold and/or the wind is blowing in and he should be a lock for the Cy.

Before the Cubs got good in 2015, the Ricketts were sort of known for doing embarrassing poo poo like this for the Cubs. They still do (like the bobblehead giveaway last year) but a World Series sort of covered that side of how poorly they run their business here.

Also lol that the White Sox had a day game at the same time as the Cubs' home opener. There was NO ONE at Guaranteed Rate today.

Attention Angels fans (?)

Anthony Rendon has raised his OPS to .063, through four games, having earned about $950,000 in that time.

Rendon has zero pop but still has an elite eye. His obp might be higher than his avg at some point this season

Maybe Trout and Rendon are birds of a feather where they’re chock full of baseball talent, but don’t enjoy playing the sport and are just content to collect a paycheck. Rendon got a ring, at least.

If you're asking if this was the earliest? No. Bob Feller pulled an opening day no-no in 1940.

You can't help but be happy for a guy who is having his 8th career start at 30 years old and manages to throw a very solid no-hitter.

Throwing strikes is hard and Rendon is too lazy to swing, is what I'm reading.

My favorite team, Whoever's Playing The Yankees Today, has sucked poo poo for many many years. They're coming off their first semi-hopeful season since I was a tyke. Not off to a great start this year.
