do you guys get tired of chatting? It would exhaust me.
Meg Rowley

Not to be overly earnest, but few things make me genuinely happier than talking about baseball. Now, all chats can go one too long, and sometimes there are trolly questions we don't publish that are annoying, but generally, I like chats a lot.

Jose Martinez is legit, people.
Craig Edwards

He is certainly having a day. He probably just bought himself a lot more starts today.
Gyorko might have some cause for concern.

Why don't minor league teams guarantee players room and board? Not only would it be smart to control the nutrition of budding professional athletes, but it would majorly ease the burden of being paid substandard wages. Hockey guarantees this at all affiliated levels, even for players in the ECHL who have a slim to none chance at ever making the NHL.

More and more teams are providing lunch and dinner, and like, good lunch and dinner for their guys for exactly this reason. Why don't they spend more? They aren't required to. We might find that short sighted and too penny pinching (I do), but it isn't surprising in our broader corporate culture.

This shows the lag my MLB.TV is experiencing but that Odorizzi strike out of Schoop didn't suck.

As a heartbroken dodger fan, I'm just happy baseball is back.  And I hope the Astros lose 100 games.  Unfortunately they'll probably repeat and break my heart even more

I'm not going to tell you how to be a fan, but you will probably be much happier this year focusing on the good things your own team is doing.

Re: panicking. I panicked, freaked out coworkers, cooled down in the server room, made chit chat with Barb from HR, drank another cup of coffee => SchwarBomb. This season might get exhausting.

Yo, I have returned.
Meg Rowley
3:26
I was once told by a friend that I should try feeling less. Not better or worse. Just... less. If you figure out how, will you let me know?
How were the backfields, Eric?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:26
Busy, all four fields going at once.
Meg Rowley
3:26
Goodness.
3:27
This Mom Me-Time AT&T commercial is the living worst.
Craig Edwards
3:27
would you say you are back from dbacks back field.?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:27
I would but then I'd be Chris Berman
Meg Rowley
3:27
Yeah, I think we'd prefer you not be Chris Berman.
3:28
Oh hi there Gentry.
Eric A Longenhagen
3:28
Craig Gentry just robbed Eddie Rosario

Is it irrational of me as a non-californian to be annoyed with how many MLB teams the state of california has? Its too many, they need to merge the 5 or 6 teams into just 1 or 2
Craig Edwards
3:29
Yes it is. There are a lot of people in California.
Meg Rowley
3:29
So many!

How amazing is Greg Holland going to be for the Cards?  Have a great 9th inning guy again...great ballpark for pitchers...think he looks like the Holland of yore?
Craig Edwards
3:31
He will probably be fine.

You use your closer with a 4-run lead on Opening Day, right? It's opening day! Get that W
Craig Edwards
3:32
Probably. offday yesterday, presumably more offdays in the near future.

Do you think it bothers Hispanic players when their names are constantly misspelled? Thinking of the lack of a tilde for Acuña in particular this hype season.
Meg Rowley
3:33
Can't speak for them but it bugs the crap out of me when someone drops an "h" in Megan, so I'd assume so.

Hey, y'all. Happy Baseball

Hey gang, Happy Opening Day! Just as soon as I give my MLB TV subscription a whack, I'll be along to eat some innings, chat-wise.
Meg Rowley
