THERE'S MORE BASEBALL STARTING!!!!!

Craig Edwards

I'm flipping over to Brewers-Cardinals

\O/ has been a thing for Brock Holt for awhile too

Paul Sporer

At the risk being an asshat bc I'm child-less, I just don't see how the NO SCREENTIME initiatives are a great idea in the tech-driven world we live in. I wouldn't want my child starting behind. Obviously you want to be smart on the volume of time, but banning screens unilaterally seems silly. Perhaps I'm influenced by the parents I know who do that are absolutely awful in every way.

Craig Edwards

Mets-Nats on the iPad

Paul Sporer

2:12

Os-Yanks on big screen TV?

Jay Jaffe

2:12

pardon me while I track down additional screens...

another bad dynasty manager

2:12

Yeah, as bad as Cashner is, if Bundy was starting the balls would be sailing out of the park. IIRC, he led all starters in homers yielded.

Paul Sporer

2:13

I don't think he'll repeat that again this year. The slider was still good despite his many struggles. Some fastball improvement and all of a sudden Bundy is pretty viable. I still have some hope for him.

OddBall Herrera

This isn't going well, time to blow up my fantasy team and plan for next year

Paul Sporer

2:14

You tried. Maybe next year!

JACOBY ELLSBURY (FROM DL)

2:14

Hey Guys, it's me Jacoby! I bet I could homer off Cashner!

Craig Edwards

2:14

now that's a bridge too far.

Paul Sporer

2:14

Jacoby, you're on the IL now. You might want to get that right given how much time you spend there

Craig Edwards

Goldschmidt strikes out in his first Cardinals AB after leading the count 3-0. The trade did not work.

Paul Sporer

2:15

Diamondbacks knew it!

Jay Jaffe

2:15

Luke Voit >>> Paul Goldschmidt

2:16

BRB, building the Voit/Goldymeter. it will just be a knob and an arrow that will change daily

or from at-bat to at-bat

Al Gone Quinn

Ellsbury once put up 9 WAR in a season.

We should get lots of looks at bullpens today, yeah? Fully rested, can be aggressive on the hook (despite 'ace day')

Craig Edwards

2:17

Certainly a possibility, but most managers aren't going to pull a starter going well on Opening Day.

Franmil "Meal Ticket" Reyes

2:17

over under .335 OBP for the meal ticket this year?

Craig Edwards

2:18

Shouldn't is just be Franmil Ticket Reyes? I'll say over. Hope he does well.

Is $100/yr sub to DAZN worth it for the MLB whip around show with the TriviaHQ guy and CespedesBBQ?

2:19

<-- three little kids. you gotta have some screen time so parents can maintain sanity.

Jay Jaffe

2:19

I have a tough time conceptualizing having a 2nd kid, despite growing up with a brother 2 years younger.

Craig Edwards

2:19

Good question. I'll be interested to see how it works, but I don't know yet if it will deliver on MLBs Red Zone. I hope it does.

Adam

2:20

brb, gonna get some glue to make the voit/goldymeter point only to our one true savior, Lucas Linwood Voit III

Matt

2:20

IT'S BIG BALL CHUNKY TIME

Paul Sporer

2:20

Kinda feel like MLB Tonight already is an MLB Red Zone, plus MLB does the Strikezone thing on Tue/Fri as a Red Zone analog

losingseason

2:20

this Os lineup feels even worse IRL than it felt on paper

Craig Edwards

2:20

and paper doesn't feel good at all.

Jhoulys Chacin (sp?) just struck out the side.

Dave

2:22

The Yankees can't really keep Andujar at 3B all year, can they?

Yankz

2:23

What would a knebel rehab timeline look like he opts to not have surgery?

Jay Jaffe

2:23

Masahiro Tanaka missed 2 1/2 months with his partial UCL tear/PRP treatment. Seth Lugo was 2 months. Michael Lorenzen 3. That's the best-case range i think, without knowing the severity of the tear beyond the fact that it's not automatically sending him down the TJ path

Paul Sporer

2:23

Did he just flub one? Defense is the one thing that hard work alone can really improve so he could get better.
