Son just called me to tell me a full 162 game schedule will be played, season opens a week later than scheduled.

Also said that "The Shift" is hereby outlawed.

Braves will start Matt Olson at first for the next 2 years, after which there is hope he may cut them a hometown discount.  This also frees up some cash for Soler, Rosario, and maybe another starting pitcher.  Freeman apparently was asking too much.

Tomorrow, I will be excited about Matt Olson.
Today, I am heartbroken. I'll always be a Freddie Fan, no matter where he goes.

Understood ... but, it was inevitable.  If Freddie wanted to stay in ATL, he would have made it happen earlier, like Chipper Jones.  If he wanted to pay 13.3% state income taxes for the privilege of living in a hellscape, he would negotiate a deal with LA.

Saw where Crain is negotiating resigning Correa......   $300M just won't buy you what it used to.   :silly:

Yep! I don't have the details, but I've heard the same.
I lot of Houston fans are upset that Correa may go, but I saw Jeremy Pena in Sugar Land last year.
I ain't worried.

WTF is about having a designated hitter in the National League?  Is that because great National League pitchers who move to the American League get slapped around the ball park?

Don't watch the team like I used to, but that $300M over that supposed 10 years  is going to create some shitty salary cap issues, when Alvarez and Tucker become FA eligible.

The DH is just first  of about a dozen reasons why the Commissioners and Owners have been hell bent on destroyng the game the past 50 years.

At least they shit canned the "imaginery ghost runner garbage in extra innings., and 7 inning double headers.

Manfred and Selig are/were about as competent for baseball as Biden is as POTUS

@Polly Ticks

I'm so sorry. I don't know where or why "there's no crying in baseball" got started, but I'm not going to abide by it. I would be so heartbroken if Altuve were to leave Houston.

Correa to the Twins for 3/$105M.  They can keep him and his showboating.

Pointless move by the Twins.  The contract will span over a rebuilding period, and Houston gets their overall #3 draft pick.

This used to be a really exciting time of the year for me.  From wokeness, to stupid tinkering of the game, my team's cheating......   

I really don't care if they play or not.

Too bad they didn't have that crazy shift during Tony Gwynn's career.  We would have gotten another .400 season.   :cool:

Same to you! We start out with 9 games on the road. No me gusta. BTW, my Stros aren't represented in that graphic either. Boo!

Time for the game. Later!

Astros win their 10th straight opener, tying a MLB record, 3-1 over Ohtani and the Angels.
