the two guys standing around Wainwright with guitars that they aren't playing amuse me

Adam Wainwright is singing the national anthem

B'ryce Szymbobski

LOL at that avg changeup

Davy Andrews

4:10

I'm sorry, Wainwright is doing what?

Adam "Steven Brault" Wainwright singing the national anthem in St. Louis

5 Run Homer

4:10

Waino singing the anthem is extremely cool though

Time for some deGrom!!

Ben Clemens

4:10

so delightful to watch

Leo Morgenstern

4:11

I've always thought Wainwright would make a great broadcaster when he retires. But maybe he has bigger plans in front of a mic...

Leo Morgenstern

The Voice winner season 25?

with a bit of a southern twang!!

Torkelson hit a ton of hard ground balls last year. He'll only be fine if he gets more in the air. Maybe the shift rule will help a little for him, but his lack of speed means he really needs to elevate or he turns into Yandy Diaz.

Kyle Kishimoto

4:11

Díaz makes more contact and at least doesn't pop out a ton, Tork has a more barrel dependent profile

Ben Clemens

4:12

deGrom is just popping 100 and throwing disappearing sliders like nothing has changed

Davy Andrews

4:12

Man.

Ben Clemens

4:12

the Phillies announcers laughing about deGrom's pitch selection will never get old to me

HI BEN. BE CAREFUL NOT TO CHOKE ON YOUR ASPIRATIONS

Davy Andrews

4:13

Every time I think about this line, I think, "I wonder if the screenwriter just watched The Verdict."

It would be amazing if Texas's rotation actually stayed healthy all year.

Leo Morgenstern

4:13

Speaking as a Phillies fan, it's incredibly unfair the Phillies have to face deGrom and the Braves got to face Corbin

Leo Morgenstern

4:13

I'll be lodging a complaint

bosoxforlife

4:13

After watching the Red Sox stink I needed Waino and deGrom to lift my spirits and remember that I am a baseball fan first who happens to root for the Red Sox.

Ben Clemens

4:13

This is maybe my favorite part of today. There's just so much cool baseball happening at once.

Vin

Move aside Shohei Ohtani, Adam Wainwright is the new two-way star

Swanson 3-4.

Prototypical TBS Kid

4:14

I dare say Corbin looked...like a big league starter? His fastball was up around 92.

Davy Andrews

4:15

I asked this during the first shift: What are you guys excited about seeing this season?

Kyle Kishimoto

4:16

Tony Kemp stealing 50 bases

Ben Clemens

4:15

I was watching the Yankees/Giants game and didn't hop around much but that's pretty solid

4:16

I'm excited for the steals, a full season of Seiya Suzuki who I'm a big fan of, and deGrom starts when I can catch them

Yeah Well Hiura Towel

4:16

Named my team Yoshida's Island and photoshopped his face on Yoshi's body, and put a bat in his hands

Ben Clemens

4:16

Gotta love going the extra mile for a fantasy team name.

4:17

I like the idea of the pitch clock. 7:05 first pitch, post game interviews, in bed by 10ish? I can get ahold of that alot.

B'ryce Szymbobski

4:17

I am of the opinion that We will see a good number of 40 steal seasons

50 bases

4:17

Tony Kemp won't get on base 50 times

Davy Andrews

4:17

Fighting words!

Kyle Kishimoto

4:17

True, he's actually gonna get on base 500 times
