[oplum29]

finally!!! woo hoo!!!!

anybody else excited?

[Rage]

Hell yeah!!
Love all the mascot inserts











:p I jest

Going to go watch Shohei pitch and bat leadoff in person :cool:

[SearchPatrol]

Here in Wisconsin, it feels more like the first day of winter.

[speedyjg13]

I am! I'll be at tomorrow's Angels/Astros game!

[oplum29]

Atlanta plays at 7 against Cincy, so i should be able to catch that game on tv.

it's going to feel really weird not seeing Freeman or Acuna in the lineup, but i'll get used to it (as far as Freeman goes).

anyways, Happy Opening Day 2022 to everybody! baseball is back baby!!!

[REGGIE206]

YES! :)!

[oddstuff]

One of the channels had game 6 of the '77 World Series tonight. Something about hearing Howard Cosell and Keith Jackson doing a baseball game...and seeing Billy Martin and a fairly young "Tom" Lasorda. Brought me back to when I was 8 rooting for Garvey, Lopes, Russell, Cey, Reggie and Dusty. Mr. October killed us :) Ready for another season!

[hammertime]

So ready for BWJ, JRod, and Tork!

[fulltritty]

I was excited until they postponed the Yankees game due to weather. :(

[NCWolf]

Opening Day and the first round of the Masters. Have a great day everyone, these viewing opportunities don’t come around all that often and thank the Lord for em.

PLAY BALL!

They only had 9 games scheduled with a few now cancelled and the cubs are now the only real day game. The people running this sport are clueless.

Your post made me remember watching this series with my dad.
Thank you.

I really want to take the afternoon off and go see BWJ’s debut. But 45 degrees and winds gusting to 40? Nah

If you have the chance to see Bobby’s debut, but don’t, you’ll regret it. Go!

Well, it's Manfred so we know this to be true.

If asked, he'll probably blame it on the players for taking too long to agree to the new CBA. :coffee:

[splitrockgamer]

I love it! Nothing like making a we are going 162-0 joke or X-player is on pace for 324 home runs this year :)

Honestly just excited though, lots of good prospects coming up and I feel this might be a change of the guard year more than ever where those 2018 rookies cement even more they are the faces of the league and that the new wave post 2020 rookies will have tons of buzz. I am excited for the hobby and the game as a whole! Let's Go!

A friend just passed this along to me, I had no idea. Here you go, you're welcome:

if you have T-Mobile, download the T-Mobile Tuesdays app. it'll ask you to enter your phone number to get your offers. once you're in, the first page has free MLB TV for 2022. tap that and it'll direct you to the MLB app. click redeem, then you're all set

also, let's f'n go brew crew!!

[JRX]

Yeah, how dare the allow for poor weather on opening day!

There are enough warm weather / dome teams to set this up that you maximize the number of games. Also, all 30 teams should have been scheduled today.

In fairness this was originally just a Thursday on the schedule, not the true Opening Day. Thursdays are typically a little lighter as travel days before a weekend series begins.

It's Manfred using his weather satellites to ruin the game

[base set]

Yay!

I always like opening some Opening Day on Opening Day. It’s Opening Day!

Be sure and celebrate appropriately.

Cj Abrams on major league roster

[JRX]

I think we can say that for the most part, the new cba has ended the service time manipulation. The main one that sticks out to me is maybe Cruz on the Pirates.

[ClevelandIC]

I agree he is on of their best position players and should be on the roster. Word is they are trying to get him some outfield reps. Should happen at the major league level IMO, though.

[rman112]

Pouring rain. They still play early March/April games on the east coast because ..... ???

[hammertime]

Excellent!

[scotthenrichs]

Here in Wisconsin, it feels more like the first day of winter.

To be fair, every day feels like winter from late October to late April.

[rman112]

Burnes has given up more runs than he did in his first 4 starts last year.

[Bronconation24]

Nice seeing burnes on the mound. Even nicer seeing him when ripping some 2022 series 1 ;)

[ScooterD]

Dan Vogelbach is the heaviest player to ever bat leadoff in a major league game - prove me wrong

[Ferg1945]

Bold Prediction:

The team that wins the first game of the 2022 MLB season will be the same team to win the last game of the 2022 MLB season.

Bieber early hook is going to cost me about a grand.

[NCWolf]

Ump did Witt Jr zero favors today. Multiple 0-2 counts should have been 1-1

[NCWolf]

Letter high double for BWJ in the 8th gives the Royals the lead.

[JizzleDaGreat]

Kwan looking as advertised. 1-2 with 2 walks.

[hxcmilkshake]

More importantly: will they make the playoffs???

pretty low key day...except for witt jr

[Rememberthepast]

While watching the Royals game the announcers covered the new anti signal device that the catchers & pitchers are allowed to use. What’s strange is can’t teams just have a camera lens on the catcher and see what buttons they’re pressing? The Royals telecast zoomed right onto Perez’s device and you could clearly see what he’s pressing.

I didn't specify. It's all the baseball season.

[Giroux]

Votto is a character, as always, funny interview

[Siberian13]

Votto first pop out to the pitcher in his career. That’s just odd.

[PejaD]

Darvish has a no-no through 4 innings.

[daeve]

boy Perdomo looks slick at short

[Bronconation24]

Anthony Rendon was once good… and even then idk..

[thewild3]

Angels looking like they did last year. All those power bats and can't even put up a run.

[BigSlim16]

To be fair, he was about a half an inch away from a go ahead HR too. Coulda shoulda woulda I know but still

[Ferg1945]

Astros are locked in in the 8th. 2 HRs and 2 warning track shot... 1 was a few feet from going out

[rman112]

Angels looking like they did last year. All those power bats and can't even put up a run.

And the bullpen. Don't forget the bullpen.

[Ferg1945]

Angels with life thanks to Alvarez.

This game could get interesting.

[Ferg1945]

Padres bullpen ruined a great pitching performance by Yu Darvish.

Game up 4 runs in the 9th. 4-2 D-Backs victory

[quackhead]

Oy vey Padres! :doh: Should have brought back Kimbrel.

[preakness]

Have bunch of Seth Beer USA autos but don't want to mess with eBay

I liked the (Jake) Burger and (Seth) Beer dual autos

Tyler O'Neill had a pretty nice day.

[Skipscards]

After their victory yesterday, the Mets upped their Opening Day record to an All-Time best 40-21.

And after their victory yesterday, the Astros have now won 10 Opening Day games in a row tying the Boston Beaneaters’ All-Time record.

Andrew Vaughn HR (1)

Hopefully he has a huge year

Will be interesting what Jon Gray can do in a full season away from Coors.

[BabaORiley]

After being held hitless for the first 6+ innings last night, the D-Backs are at it again - currently hitless through 4 by Manaea.

This... is not a good lineup.

And now back to back "hitless through 6" scenarios to start the season.

[BabaORiley]

And now back to back "hitless through 6" scenarios to start the season.

And after Tim Hill blew the no-no in the 7th yesterday, he blows it again in the 8th today. D-Backs with 0 hits in the first 13 combined innings and then 4 hits in the 1 & a third that Hill has pitched.

[quackhead]

Padres win!! No-No Joe on the hill tomorrow. :flex:
