    Man, their eyes in this picture from White Sox Faith Day (come the horsefeathers on) each speak volumes: http://www.trbimg.com/img-55dfdc8f/turbine/chi-laroche0827-ct0029282518-20150608/750/750x422

    Hawk didn't wash his shorts.

    I just figured I cursed them and didn't want to make it even worse.

    Sergio Romo thinks Harper should shut up because Romo's celebrations are totally, totally different than Harper's celebrations. Totally: http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/eye-on-baseball/25512283/sergio-romo-of-all-people-should-not-be-telling-bryce-harper-to-shut-up

    I also completely forgot that Junior Lake played at all last year.

    I think I've blocked out every Diamondbacks game since Lilly's glove hit the dirt.

    Who the hell is Nick Ahmed and why do we hate him again?

    This is a bold prediction in and of itself.

    Nice try, DJ 3000. You won't trick us into listening that easily.

    I don't think "it's spring training" is all that hard to grasp.

    You'd think a grown man who goes by "Goose" would be less of a boring dork. He also rants about "nerds" ruining the game, etc., etc.. Again, this man somehow thinks this is a bad thing: http://i.giphy.com/3o85xyNFkSB0kqty36.gif http://www.si.com/vault/1994/09/12/131957/making-hay-idled-by-yet-another-strike-43-year-old-goose-gossage-may-have-seen-the-sun-set-on-his-baseball-career

    How many interleague games do you think there are? The Cubs only play 8 games in AL parks, 3 of them to start the year when we're pretty certain Hendricks won't be starting. The idea behind having Schwarber catch is to get his bat and someone else's in the lineup. Every game he DHs is one less game he'd have to catch to achieve that goal. So I subtracted those games as DH from the approximate number of games that Hendricks would conceivably start which should mean that Schwarber will catch him around 20 times. http://i.giphy.com/AxoVt9Kro1VBe.gif

    I can't keep track of that mess. Plus Rizzo needs his own thread.

    I know, like, 4 people who have a firm grasp of baseball stats. And I'm a baseball idiot, so *I* should be worse than most of them, yet somehow I end up the one on the analytic side. I used the defensive shift as an example on purpose; I've lost track of the number of times I heard some variation of people going "they can DO that?!?" when they see it happen.

    Your mileage may vary; to me, it seems like the average football fan can rattle of different plays and formations and the like before going on a rant about rings and being a general on the field and acting like a thug and all that nonsense. With baseball, it feels like a good chunk of fans will look at you baffled by something as basic as a defensive shift or OPS.
