Giancarlo with 2 dingers in his first game as a Yankee, yeah, he’s going to hit 60 this year, amazing power.
Marlins looked weak as expected but their were a few bright spots, some of our younger players looked sharp and I’m hopeful that we are going to have a bunch of solid younger players and build up our minor league system, but this year will be painful.

Bigger playoff stiffs, the Nationals or the Capitals? Capitals because easier to make the playoffs, Ovie is top 50 player all time, & the Eastern conference hasn't been overly powerful.

Jays have zero chance at the playoffs, & I'm okay with that. I wouldn't want false hope with ageing core of batters. Plan for Guerrero Jr. & Bichette, trade veterans for more youth & picks, they don't even need to be blue chip returns.

One game into this season and I already fucking hate Gabe Kapler.

Morales and Donaldson looked awful.

Rockies-D-Backs is a good late night game, both teams are very exciting to watch, lots of good offense and some underrated pitchers, like both of these teams.

As a White Sox fan, I'd like to point out that Matt Davidson is on track for 486 HRs this year.

Nice start for the Mets. Syndergaard looked downright nasty for the most part. The HR he gave up to Molina was just great hitting by a savvy veteran, tip your cap type of deal. He did seem to lose focus for a second on the Jose Martinez HR, but all in all, can't complain with 10 Ks and no BBs right out of the gate.
Yeah yeah, it's one game but for the entire game, the Mets offense shortened their swings and strung together hits by using the whole field, scoring 9 runs without the benefit of a HR. I can't imagine they did that once all of last year. Nice to see a more balanced approach and Brandon Nimmo was having good at-bats all game coming off a great spring.
Also great start by the bullpen going 3 scoreless, with Robert Gsellman and Anthony Swarzek (fuck trying to spell his name) having easy innings and Familia closing it out. I'll be a little more comfortable if Familia can get back to his 2015 form which was just lights out every game. Since then, he'll be dominant for 2 batters and then he just loses the strike zone. It didn't bite him yesterday but he did get a little erratic for a spell.
The Cards will need Carlos Martinez to be better than he was yesterday. He just didn't have great command at all.
Yadier Molina can play for my team any day. The kind of guy every team would kill to have.
Anyway, fuck yeah that baseball is back!

The Yankees will be fun to watch, but holy hell do they have horrible radio and TV announcers. John Sterling is funny now and again, but the combo of him and Susan Waldman is unbearable and Sterling can barely see what's going on in front of him half the time. On the TV side, Michael Kay isn't much better. Just a bloviating, loud douche.

Yeah, she bleeds Yankee Blue, but what home town announcer doesn't. She's no different than Mike Shannon for the Cards or Denny Mathews for the Royals. But they aren't fingernails on a blackboard. John Sterling is an idiot but his voice doesn't make me want to pour battery acid in my ears. For those who haven't experienced the dulcet tones of the ravishing Ms Waldman, enjoy! (i was nice and posted a short clip) Goodness gracious!

The Yankees will be fun to watch I dunno about that. Trout, Harper, Kershaw, Sale... guys like that are fun. Vanilla persona giants like Judge & Stanton, interesting but not fun to watch. I will say that I'd love nothing more than to see one or both of them take the season HR record away from Bonds.

Suzyn Waldmyn is the worst, just flat out painful to listen to. Sterling is a blathering idiot as well.
Speaking of broadcasters I really miss Rich Waltz calling the Marlins games, no excuse for the new ownership firing him, one of their many bad moves. The new guy is pretty good and our radio guys are excellent, but I miss Rich Waltz.

Frank Messer, Bill White and the Scooter, Phil Rizzuto. Rizzuto was an idiot but he was entertaining as hell. Scooter spent more time yapping about the traffic on the bridge and seeing some old Italian woman from the neighborhood who he hadn't seen in 30 years. He didn't grate on your nerve like Suzy Q. And Bill White bailed out Rizzuto. NY announcing teams were similar. The Mets had the consummate professional in Lindsey Nelson and the Court Jester in Ralph Kiner. "And it's Father's Day. So, to all you father's coming out to the stadium, Happy Birthday!" - Ralph Kiner

Yeah they ditched Marlins Man, they also fired the mascot of all things. Apparently Jeter even tried to remove the home run sculpture thing in the outfield but he was blocked from doing so by the Miami Dade officials. Jeter wants to remove all ties to the previous ownership for some reason, I get that we need to rebuild but there is no excuse for some of the moves Jeter has made and it makes no sense to fire broadcasters, mascots and the like. Or to fire a scout while he’s in the hospital awaiting a kidney transplant.

It's shitty enough to dump your best players for a Costco sized bag of beef jerky, but to just say fuck you to the fans the way they have is dumb. It'd be funny if Jeter were constantly wearing his Yankee uniform underneath his suit....or maybe it would be sad, I'm not sure.
