Fuck you MLB, I manage a sportsbook website and here I was wondering why the hell the Cubs - Angels game didn't have pitchers announced and only had the Money Line posted. Why would there be a spring training game in Opening Day?

 

[GK86]

Opening day, guys. We made it. We fucking made it.

 

[Spizz]

Time to pick up where we left off.

 

[BFIB]

Cards open the season today to show everyone the right way to play the game.

It's like XMAS. Cards/WM/Walking Dead today.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Time to pick up where we left off.

Time to anger white, racist baseball writers and fans!

The free year of MLB TV for Tmobile subscribers is up.

Whoa, this is also for non new customers? Fucking sweet! So they've given me a year of Netflix, a gear VR, and now MLB Premium.

 

[Ricker]

Lez go, Blue Jays! Play ball!

This is the year...Go Jays!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[rando14]

The free year of MLB TV for Tmobile subscribers is up.

Sweet, just signed up!! I am officially ready for baseball season

 

[MechDX]

Where do i get tickets for the Astros bandwagon?

 

[Kave_Man]

This year I will try to send as little hate towards my new friend Rando.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Time to anger white, racist baseball writers and fans!

Rickey did bat flips for years and no one said anything.

They're not racist and white. They just hate Canada.

Always remember I appreciate you.

So much so if the Leafs don't get Matthews I want Arizona to.

Yep that deal was pretty damn sweet.

 

[CosmicQueso]

I mean, it's certainly possible that a person has a combination of attributes that could include being white, racist, and hating Canada.

I imagine these aren't exclusionary qualities.

But now that I think about it. Rickey did bat flips in Canada too and no one cared.

Maybe they just hate Jose Bautista.

Now would that make them racist? Or just Bautistaist?

One of you people are in college, right? Someone do a study.

F-friend...?

FRIEND

[Grover Cleveland]

The Kave-Rando beef finally squashed?

Spoiler

Nah, you'll be right back to hating each other in a week

 

[CosmicQueso]

Feel the love of opening day MLBGAF.

Like the pennant hopes of the A's, however, its likely to be dead by May.

 

[Kave_Man]

Here's a gif of me and Rando shaking hands on this:

I don't see how this could go bad.

 

[UltimaPooh]

Go Royals!

#defendthecrown

 

[bonesmccoy]

I'm ready.

 

[RBH]

All three games today are on TV:

Let's go Pirates!

Let's go Rays!

Let's go Royals!


*folds arms and smiles*

 

[zroid]

going to get a hot dog and post gratuitous ketchup+mustard pics

 

[CosmicQueso]

Hey RBH,

Let's make this fun. Which team will have the worst record this year, the A's or the Braves?

How bout this. If the Braves finish with a worse record, I'll send some delicious Bay Area treats your way. Sourdough bread, ghiradelli, that kind of stuff.

If the A's have a worse record, you send me whatever people in Atlanta eat outside of Chik fil a?

 

[bebop242]

Yeah its really weird, just play a real game, or have it yesterday instead. Has this happened before? Spring training and season games being played on the same day?

On top of that, Cubs opener at 9pm? Fuck you west coast!

What do people eat in ATL anyway?

Right here.

Just paypal me $100.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

better not be blacked out on mlb.tv

Pretty sure they are! Or at least the Cards/Bucs game is.

edit: just kidding it may not actually be blacked out! that would have been super dumb

Lineup for the Cardinals:

Marp 3B
Pham LF
Holliday 1B (!!!)
Grichuk CF
Piscotty RF
Molina C
Wong 2B
Gyorko SS (...)
Wainwright P

Super excited that Holliday-To-First may solve this team's 1B problem, but not looking forward to the first ball Gyorko can't get to that any average SS would.

 

[arts&crafts]

Jays bullpen is not good.

Lets hope we score alot of runs this year

I'm excited to see how Holliday is defensively there. Especially since Oquendo wasn't around for a bit during ST?

 

[bebop242]

Yeah isn't national telecasts always blacked out MLB.TV regardless of local blackouts?

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

He's worked out there all winter apparently and looked pretty OK. Better than Moss at least.

Oquendo is actually gone for the whole season (and maybe forever)! Really sucks, IMO. Dude is one of the greatest 3B/fielding coaches ever.

Yeah isn't national telecasts always blacked out MLB.TV regardless of local blackouts?

I have the option to watch the Pittsburgh and St Louis broadcasts, at least. We'll know in an hour I guess, but it looks like it might just be the ESPN national one that's blacked out.

 

[3N16MA]

I'm the founder
y2Kev is council president
Captainmblack is VP
Jmann is CFO
you're in charge of marketing or something
fox318 is in charge of sabermetrics
supermalo is like the guy that does and says the underhanded shit I don't want my name attached to.

Marketing? I was the head of analytics and now you demoted me to marketing?

I'm pissed. Going to get me a hotdog with extra ketchup.

 

[arts&crafts]

I am a Jays fan but always cheer for the astors 2nd because of the awesome 80's jerseys

Consistently Jays also had the 2nd best jersey

Gyorko would have been fine if Oquendo were around. As it is, we're screwed.

I don't know much about Tejada. Is he going to be our defensive replacement type guy?

 

[Fox318]

I did a count and realised that I have been to Cooperstown and the hall of fame about 240 times.

Tejada would be our starting SS, but he got injured a couple days ago :lol

He's out for a couple weeks

Are. You. Kidding. Me.

I look away from this team for a few days and another guy goes down. Ugh.

Brayan Pena is down too!

Slipped in the dugout when it was wet

Brayan Pena is down too!

Thats what Matheny gets for offering baptisms in the dugout.

Should have pulled a Maddon and have a slip n slide to keep the club loose and fun.

 

[RBH]

What do people eat in ATL anyway?

Southern comfort food (fried chicken, mashed potatoes, greens, etc) and BBQ top the list, but Atlanta's food scene in general is so incredibly diverse that it's hard to narrow it down to one or two categories.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Tejada would be our starting SS, but he got injured a couple days ago :lol

Yea was wondering why Tejada wasnt there.
