That Judge homer already has me thinking some thoughts...

Dan Szymborski

2:04

I'd wait and see what happens with Rosario

Where in the World is Diego Castillo?

2:05

It's not officially Opening Day until Eric Hosmer grounds out to first

Jay Jaffe

2:05

it's his core skill.

Davy Andrews

2:05

JOEY MENESES.

Davy Andrews

2:06

Life has meaning.

Dan Szymborski

2:06

Just be happy the Mets don't have the Wilpon-era doctors. They already would have removed one of Verlander's kidneys.

2:06

I'm excited to soon be moving to an MLB city for the first time in over a decade. Unfortunately it's Cincinnati.

Dan

2:06

Why does MLB TV have a "Free Game of the Day" that is still subject to blackout restrictions

Dan Szymborski

2:06

DONT GET TRICKED, ITS NOT CHILI

Pumpsie Green

2:06

Logan Webb has seven strikeouts, which is tied for the second most in baseball this season.

BCB

2:07

Follow up question to before: What do yall think would go into the next Ken Burns Baseball chapter if it existed? Astros scandal, Giants dynasty, Cubs WS, Statcast are just a few I thought about

Dan Szymborski

2:07

Mostly Derek Jeter.

Davy Andrews

2:08

Right. I think the sabermetric revolution would have to be a big theme. Also, Dan's right. Derek Jeter. But just his time as a front office exec.

Jay Jaffe

2:07

9 K for Cole, ties the Yankees Opening Day record, tying Tim Leary, who must have been tripping balls at the time in 1991

Guest

2:07

Plagiarizing Grant's tweets? Shame!!

Hire Joe Morgan?

2:08

I just opened the chat and saw the Mets are removing kidneys now? Strong start to the year, people!

A Boy Named Yu

2:08

I'm back. I quickly did enough work things to calm my guilty conscious.

Joe

2:08

So it looks like the Nats can’t sell. Does this whole situation break the local blackout deal and RSNs?

Dan Szymborski

2:08

I have no idea what the hell is going on with broadcasts and blackouts all year with the RSNs.

Davy Andrews

2:10

The MASN situation has been in the mud for so long. I don't think anybody knows what finally gets things moving there, so it's hard to know what effects it will have.

Alex Eisert

2:10

David Cone is raving about Cole's slider shape, but to nitpick, the movement is a bit off last year's numbers so far

Alex Eisert

2:11

The change is getting a lot more run though.

Jay Jaffe

2:10

and there's the record with Cole striking out Little Yaz with a changeup for his 10th K

Dan Szymborski

2:10

Still trying to get the AI to do Ohtani on a ski-doo, it still thinks it's a jetski

Davy Andrews

2:10

Ski-doo isn't a kind of jet ski?

Dan Szymborski

2:11

It's a snowmobile!

Davy Andrews

2:11

Sea Doo! My bad.

Dan Szymborski

2:11

Sea-Doo is the water one

It's tricky since there's water skiing but there's not snow boating

I DVR games

2:12

Is that Friday Apple Tv exclusive game nonsense over and done with?

Jay Jaffe

2:12

No, it's back but you will at least be able to choose the audio of the home and away teams’ local radio broadcasts

Davy Andrews

2:12

It's back and you have to pay for it this year.

Where in the World is Diego Castillo?

2:12

Which roster has the biggest cliff? Rangers? Going from that top to late career Robbie Grossman, late career Brad Miller, and Josh H. Smith is mighty something.

Alex Eisert

2:12

I'd still give it to the Angels. They have less of a cliff from last year since they added guys like Urshela and Drury but it's still a big one.

Dan Szymborski

2:13

Chip Locke

2:13

RE: Apple TV broadcast, it's my favorite exclusive cast. The booth is pretty fun and they actually enjoy the game.

A Boy Named Yu

2:14

Will the almighty Meg be joining us today?

Dan Szymborski

2:14

I don't believe Meg's joining chat today. She's done like twice the work of anyone the last two weeks!

Ben, Kyle, and Leo are scheduled to come in at 4
