Article on how well the Athletics' home opener against the Cubs in Sacramento went (hint: not well in virtually every way)...
MLB: ***2026 MLB Season Thread***
- Thread starter BigJCy
- Start date
I’m glad to see it was an absolute disaster because **** Fischer, but I do feel a little bad for Sacramento since they didn’t ask for that
The A's lost the series 35-9, combined score. Yeah, baseball is going to do REALLY well in Sacto.
As much as I like outdoor baseball, I’ll never go to a Twins game until mid May.
I know it'll never happen, but I would love to see MLB cut a month off the season. Start spring training in March. Opening Day in May. Still end the season at the same time. We could avoid these cold April games, and I feel like it would help cut down on injuries. But ... I get it ... lost revenue ... tradition. Whatever.
NY Torpedo's have been shutout for their last 16 innings and counting.
At least now people can stop taking about these bats as something more than just a minor analytics blip.
Wasting Fried's 6 innings of shutout ball.

"Ace" reliever Devin Williams has an ERA of 12.00 after almost losing the game giving up 3 runs in the 9th and had to be in turn "relieved" himself so the Yanks didn't lose. Good news is it was on the road so he didn't get booed but he will if he keeps pitching like that. Woof.
This was kind of a fun read...mentions a lot of names I had forgotten about (mostly from the 1990s):

Each club's last player to wear iconic No. 42
In 1997, Major League Baseball honored Jackie Robinson by making his No. 42 the first uniform number to be retired across the sport. That said, players who were wearing No. 42 at the time could choose to continue wearing it until they retired. Thus, some teams have had a player

Well, it is the nicest minor league park in Florida, maybe the country. Haven’t been to the AZ stadiums.
Early season grades for the four refugees from the National League that the Yanks acquired. Just for fun since it's sometimes hard to switch leagues.
- Max Fried: A
- Goldsmitty: A. Off to a hot start and for a guy known for having cold springs.
- Bellinger: A+ for defense. D for hitting, .132 in last 15 games.
- Devin Williams: D. Doesn't have a blown save but has blown such huge leads that they don't even count as a BS.
