Kansas City Royals:

You can't stop them; you just try to contain them.
Matt Martell
4:24
PICKLE!
4:25
Not really. That was far less exciting that I thought it would be.
Fashion note
4:25
These new uniforms really do look kind of cheesy. Like knockoffs.

Hi Matt!

What is the point of Reds baseball without Joey Votto? At least he’s off the team so he won’t get hurt or suspended like the rest of the team… baseball! Happy Opening Day!
AvatarDan Szymborski
4:26
At least he wasn't a third baseman

Jackson Merrill's mom could be Eno's mom

The A's have a real chance to be better than the White Sox this year
AvatarDan Szymborski

ZiPS actually edged the White Sox over the A's

I've seen these small lettered nameplates in a video game before... one of the past (terrible) MLB 2K games.

Really wish there was any true recourse for gross, unfettered capitalism like the Fanatics jersey stuff!

New uniforms I cant believe they let happen after all the complaints

If Snell wins another Cy, is he a Hall candidate?  He doesn't seem at all likely to get close to the WAR threshold.
AvatarJay Jaffe
4:28
He'l be a candidate but I think a tough sell unless he bulksd up his career numbers considerably. I thought Jacob deGrom could pitch his way into being a Koufax-like exception if he had banked a third Cy, but that's not likely to happen now, and Snell doesn't have as high a floor that deGrom had.

What's kind of sad is unlike the A's, the White Sox actually think they're retooling quickly
4:29
It's hard to say - if he has a third Cy Young season, he's probably already overperforming his projection
Aaron

What does Votto:3B mean?
AvatarDan Szymborski
4:29
The Reds and their infinite 3B complex
Aaron
4:30
The Reds have an infinite SS complex now!

Whenever I hear Darvish's name, I think of Tad from the South Park Aspen episode saying Stan DARSH

4:31
I know Darvish isn't the sinkerballer in this matchup, but that sinker looks nice?
AvatarDan Szymborski
4:31
I know it's been 5 months so I may have forgotten whether this was true, but didn't MLB TV score ticker at the top usually have the score and not just the two teams and the inning?

The doders with another deferred money contract signing will smith, will mlb allow this to continue?
AvatarJay Jaffe
4:32
I don't see them getting the players to forgo it. Nor should they, particularly because it works well for both the teams who choose to do it and their players.
AvatarJay Jaffe
4:33
Put it this way, what are the owners going to give up to get the players to agree to forgo deferred money in their contracts? earlier arbitration?
earlier free agency?

Nothing is what!
If the players actually think *Meyer* is their problem, the next CBA negotiations are going to be a trainwreck
Nat

@dan there's a setting you can change to show the scores
AvatarDan Szymborski
4:35
Hmm, I wonder if I deactivated it, because I always remembered seeing it!
KC Pain
4:36
@Dan you gonna love when Marsh pitches for KC.....
AvatarDan Szymborski
4:36
But then I'd be watching a Royals game! <ducking>

I think its just a way to circumvent the non salary cap.  Of course these big market teams can sign players to 10+ year deals and pay most of the $ while on the beach.  Mid level teams could never afford to pay contracts years after avguy is
AvatarDan Szymborski
4:36
Given the low interest rates of the deferments, they certainly could
AvatarJay Jaffe
4:39
Even the "poorest" of the billionaire owners understands the time value of money. They're just banking that you don't.

On the subject of the White Sox rebuild/retool, how many of Moncada, Jimenez, and Robert on the team next opening day?
Matt Martell
4:40
I’d say all three of them. They should trade Robert but I don’t think they will, and I’m not sure what trade value Moncada and Jiménez will have because of all their injuries. Things are bleak on the South Side.
