I was right there with you until the champ series

then you kinda went off course

[Cincydawg]

Sounds like a plan to me.

I'm taking my first day off work this year for my personal holiday:  Opening Day.  Gonna grill up some hotdogs and watch some baseball.  
Gonna sleep in.  
Nathan's bun-length.
Mustard.
Diced onion.
Games start at 10am.

[OrangeAfroMan]

My only prediction is that the Dodgers will not win the West this year.  
.
My desire is that the Mets fall on their face, as they often do.  If the Yankees then Dodgers have been fat-wallet payroll sinners, what the Mets have done is akin to Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates' bank accounts sumo wrestling.

I'll be attending the Diamondbacks home opener next week.   Really enjoy sampling other city's opening day.    Bummed to have missed Cactus League this yr.

Same, but also diced pickles

Also, I sort of feel like every home team deserves to win on Opening Day, but playing in Tampa, eh....

They showed a stat that the Tigers are 2nd only to the Astros in Opening Day record over the past decade.  Astros are 9-1, Tigers are 8-2.  Astros makes sense, Tigers, not so much.  A decade captures 2 playoffs teams, and one solid team that would have made the 6 team playoff, but 7 pretty awful teams.

[Cincydawg]

The Braves are undefeated.

Loving the pitch clock.  Only have to suffer through about 2:15 of Tigers baseball

I show that the Astros are 10 and 0 opening day last 10 years

going for 11 in a row tonight

Are you saying mlb games will only be a little over 2 hours because of the pitch clock?

Ive not watched any pre season games this year

[GopherRock]

I'm loving the pitch clock too. I was tired of regularly needing 4 hours to see 9 innings of baseball.

too early for me to decide but one thing I dont like is limiting pitcher to two pick off moves per batter

[MarqHusker]

Best sign in today's micro sample size is this.   A 10-9 game was over in 3:10!   Sign me up.
