Man I can’t believe I went to a March baseball game at Wrigley that had such amazing weather. Felt like a mid-June game -
Imagine the parallels to 1989 that will be talked about if Michigan and Illinois face off. -Michigan undefeated against Illinois in the regular season -Facing off late in the tourney -Illinois is looking for their first title.
-
There’s a real possibility of an Illinois-Michigan final and that’s scary.
-
USMNT looking great /s
-
I'm kind of sick of that particular quirk of Wrigley to be honest. Can we just play normal baseball?
-
I think other teams will value him higher than we do. I don't think he's a utility type bat, others will see his age and top 30 prospect pedigree and see him as a potential cornerstone piece, whereas we're already locked in at 3B, SS and 2B and his OF work remains to be seen.
-
Meh. I like both players but Seiya will be 32 after this year, gets injured a lot, has issues defensively. I think we can at least shop for a better long term bat and take our chances with him hitting FA. If he's willing to accept a 2-3 year extension I'd definitely consider it. Happ will also be 32 (I was today year's old when I realized their birthdays are 6 days apart!) and solid all around but not as good of a hitter as Seiya. If his bat declines much it might be rough over the next couple of years. Again, I wouldn't be against either of them being back next year (or whenever they play baseball again after this season),but I don't think extending either is a no brainer either.
-
I'm happier about this extension than I am PCA's, mostly because of all the news about shopping him the last 2 offseasons, I was worried they didn't value him as much as I did. This is awesome.
-
1 game in and the Brewers currently have a 19 run better RD than the Cubs 🤣
-
Well at least one team knows how to hit HRs in these conditions.
-
Nico probably thinks if you dont use them they carry over into the next game or something.
-
wow. Boyd is awful right now. And in the WBC. And at the end of last season. Blah
-
xBA today: Nationals .321, Cubs .124
-
well that was a short lived lead. Boyd in trouble
-
Yeah thats what I read but it was up there the entire 1st inning. Maybe an error on their part?
-
I knew someone would say that lol. So did I but I got used to it. Difficult to adjust back for me.
-
seriously this doesn't bother anyone else that there's no strike zone graphic on pitches? I heard they were potentially removing it due to ABS but when it saw it on the screen in the 1st inning I figured they decided to keep it, now its gone.
-
Did they remove the strike zone from the broadcast? There was a very light one around home plate in the first inning but now there's nothing there.
-
Honestly did not think a ball hit with that much arc could get out on a day like today.
-
Boyd giving up some bombs early. that one got over the fence
-
Thats....one way to play right field
-
Looks like Boyd isn't suffering from the same WBC curse that Skenes is.
-
HRs robbed by the wind this year: 1
-
I haven't been paying too much attention to Spring Training. Is Amaya no longer the de facto starting catcher or is Kelly starting today due to matchups? Kelly had a really solid season last year but Amaya has better long term potential and was promising before all the injuries last year.
-
The international games have started earlier but in terms of traditional US/Canada Opening Day, I believe this is the earliest ever.
