I just want to make sure this great game 1 moment is preserved: the MASN play by play guy tells David Rubenstein, "Just so you know, Ben brings up the Magna Carta every broadcast," and Rubenstein excitedly says "Really?!"

So not a Rockies fan but I find their seeming lack of direction fascinating from an organizational level.  If you had to GM the Rockies how would you structure the team given the unique offensive environment they operate in.  It can't be a simple as focusing on Ground Ball pitchers and good infield defense can it?

Just having an owner that wasn't heavily involved in an incompetent way would be helpful, way before worrying about specifics

There's too many games on right now. Please eliminate three. I am not a crackpot.

I just showed my 7 1/2-year-old daughter that Simpsons episode last night. She loved it.

I'm like 99% sure that the Kris Bryant signing was owner-pushed and *definitely* not from staff

One of the things that I love about Opening Day is daytime baseball. We need more of it throughout the year.

It's true. Daytime baseball is great.

every time I see an Angels highlight it's like "Mike Trout hit three homes runs and raised his average to .528 while Shohei Ohtani did something that hasn't been done since 'Tungsten Arm' O'Doyle of the 1921 Akron Groomsmen, as the Tigers Orioles defeated the Angels 8-3"

Kevin Cash has now managed more games for the Rays than Joe Maddon, which seems impossible
Yandy Diaz is already annoying the Jays, great start

Dan, you have to choose between eating a plateful of Skyline Chili with added chickpeas and black eyed peas OR posting an April Fools tweet in defense of Ippei and dealing with the backlash.  Which do you choose?
AvatarDan Szymborski
4:20
I think the Skyline. I'v enever had a whole COUNTRY mad at me

Juan Soto going to a full count and walking in his first Yankee PA. Sounds about right.

Dan,  thx for chat.. how do you decide to card players in zips when they go to japan? ( ex. Andre Jackson) do you rate them going forward based on japan stats or do you stop giving them zips until they return to mlb?
AvatarDan Szymborski

I typically project them for one last season after they leave and then start again when they come back

I just can't this year due to White Sox fandom. Opening Day is no longer fun. Say something nice.

The franchise sold it soul for one (1) more good season with Tony La Russa at the helm. The good news is that he won't get a third tenure as manager, I guess?
AvatarDan Szymborski

and when they come back, I have translations
Maikel Garcia

And you all said I had no power
Davy Andrews

Breakout pick from a lot of smart people.
5 Run Homer

Maikel Garcia! What do you guys think he can do this year?
Davy Andrews
4:23
It really depends whether he can lift the ball, but the defense is lovely.

arraez strikeout on first PA, OK.

Mookie Betts-Shohei Ohtani-Fredde Freeman is just an insane gauntlet for opposing pitchers to run
