Just gonna slide in here and mention that we have played 0.62% of the 2024 baseball season.

We ignore offdays, you're up for tomorrow's thread.

Scheduling an off-day between games for a team that has a horsefeathers roof is so horsefeathers aggravating. Don't get me started.

Damn it.

Because he's probably going to be a superstar?

Announcer: I might walk the next two guys. Drew Smyly:

AAWWWWWWWWWWW

Wow. Okay Carter.

Well, that lead lasted for six minutes.

Yeah, just heard that from Ravech... I didn't realize foul tips could not be challenged. Like so many things with MLB, that... doesn't make sense.

Wait, can the Rangers not challenge that? Or did they lose their challenge?

Bah okay, so it was foul.

I added the start of a rotation to the top of this thread, you are second behind Brian.

That works for me. I will check every day at 10am and if there is no thread, I will create one and then notify the next in line that tomorrow's thread is theirs.

How about if we try using the old method but if the game thread isn't up by 10am, it transfers to either the next person in line or I'll post it myself.

Despite being a Brewers fan, I actually have the Cubs to win the NLC this season. I'll be satisfied with any result that keeps the Cardinals out of the postseason, really.

Have at it!

I'm totally okay with going for the "keep the threads coming until the Cubs lose" thing. I think it's a fun way to approach this. One small ask I have this year, though... can we start threads in the morning? The earlier the better.

I created threads every morning last season not for metrics but coverage and convenience. Starting a thread early tends to get people talking and participating more, plus it allows me to schedule notifications and banners early in the morning so I don't have to check back five times a day across three sites to make sure everything is ready to go. It's a consistency thing; it's hard to attract users and get them to stay if expectations aren't set and followed through on.

Heh, I'll give it a few hours at least. Do you want today's thread?

Opening Day is tomorrow, folks…
