bumpAnyone paying attention to the World Baseball Classic? I would be, but they're carrying EVERY SINGLE GAME on MLB Network, which I don't have on my cable lineups.Geez louise, if they want to make this a credible tournament, they can't bury these things on specialty-tier networks.

If spring training is any indication, Bryce Harper is back.
Madison Bumgarner became the first pitcher to homer twice in a season openerUntil Madison Bumgarner came along, it had been quite awhile since baseball had such a talented two-way player. Prior to the start of the 2017 campaign, at age 27, he had already belted 14 career homers in 228 games.In the Giants' season opener, Bumgarner added to the tally. First, he took D-backs starter Zack Greinke deep to put the Giants in front in the top of the fifth by a score of 2-0. He also did so before allowing a single Arizona baserunner -- the D-backs did not get their first man on base until Jeff Mathis tripled with one out in the sixth inning.Then in his very next at-bat, Bumgarner promptly did it again, crushing another homer, this time off reliever Andrew Chafin. He had allowed a few runs to help the D-backs tie the game at 3, so it was his second go-ahead shot of the day. Bumgarner made baseball history, becoming the first pitcher to homer twice in an MLB opener.http://m.mlb.com/cutfour/2017/04/02/221960806/madison-bumgarner-opening-day-homers-record

My Mets jumped the Braves for six in the bottom of the seventh . . . still 6-0 Mets in the top of the ninth . . .
@EasyAce I noticed. Thor had a good outing.
Unfortunately, I had to glance at it occasionally on MLB.TV with the volume muted (for some reason, my boss actually expects me to work for my paycheck), but the parts I saw looked pretty good. Hopefully we'll get our revenge on Wednesday night. Either way, though, I'm just so happy baseball is back!
Tonight, Astros, 7:05.Go Astros!
Keuchel 2 hits in 7 IP. If he pitches like 2015. LOOK OUT!!!!!...we may go deep in the playoffs.
"The former player woke up from the coma around 7 a.m. Wednesday, spoke with his relatives and even received a couple of calls from friends, including one from former Dominican Republic president Leonel Fernandez."
I'm not sure if it was mentioned anywhere so pardon me if I am repeating it, that baseball great Pedro Guerrero suffered a massive stroke, he has woken up from his coma and spoken to family and friends. http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/19084159/former-los-angeles-dodgers-star-pedro-guerrero-wakes-coma
