Photo by Maddie Malhotra/Boston Red Sox/ Phew, that was a busy day. Phew, Opening Day is in the bag. We saw some incredible plays, some amazing pitching performances, some teams already proving they were right to spend money, and others just hoping this is the season to finally turn things around. Ignoring that the Cubs lost in a walk-off, what big moments of the first day of the season stood out for you? Rather than lead with a specific story, we’re just going to jump into the links, since there’s a lot to unpack, and still lots of predictions and projects to enjoy...

Your Friday morning dose of New York Mets and MLB news, notes, and links. Meet the Mets The Mets made the Opening Day roster official, placing Sean Reid-Foley on the injured list and putting Yohan Ramírez and Michael Tonkin in the bullpen to start the season. Here’s how Edwin Díaz is preparing for his return to the mound. Francisco Lindor has been excellent for the Mets, flown under the radar while doing so, and grown as a person and clubhouse leader in the years he’s been in New York, write Laura Albanese. This Opening Day is Jay Horwitz’s 45th with the team. The...

Photo by Zac BonDurant/ Colorado Rockies news and links for Friday, March 29, 2024 The Rockies are 17-15 on Opening Day, but that 15th loss will go down in infamy. It’s not every Opening Day that a team gets destroyed 16-1. After all, there have been two other Opening Days in the last 134 years where teams have done worse. At first, it wasn’t so bad. The Rockies went into the third inning down 2-1. Then came the soul-crushing, never-ending third inning where Colorado gave up the most runs (14) and hits (13) in one inning in franchise history. They also set a...
Royals Review 49 mins ago
Good news! There’s more Royals baseball tomorrow! | Photo by Jamie Squire/ The quest for 161-1 begins tomorrow! Ed note: I mentioned this in the comments yesterday - I could probably just write “Hey, yesterday was Opening Day - What do you think?” and we’d get 200 comments here today. I’d like to think I do a marginally better job than that, so you get 2000 characters instead. However, since Opening Day provided more than enough to talk about today, I’m going to push off the NPB preview for another week. Both of my Asia baseball readers will be...

Jackson Holliday won’t be in an Orioles uniform on Opening Day, but hopefully it won’t be long before he’s wearing one for real instead of just in spring training. | Photo by Julio Aguilar/ More than half of prospect-heavy Norfolk lineup could probably have made a bunch of MLB rosters One of the most readily apparent signs of the talent in the Orioles organization is how loaded the Triple-A Norfolk Tides roster is going to be to start the season. More than half of the starting lineup could probably have MLB jobs on multiple teams and three of the starting pitchers...

Photo by Alika Jenner/ Dispatches from Seattle Well, who would’ve thought…a win on Opening Day! I’ll be honest: not me. Here are some thoughts from T-Mobile Park, way up in the 300-section on the third-base side. Impressions I came away really impressed by Tyler O’Neill. A walk, a hit, a stolen base, a home run. I learned later that his homer was a record-breaking fifth in a row on Opening Day. He did a good job in the first inning of holding Julio Rodríguez on third after fielding Jorge Polanco’s single. Kenley Jansen made possibly the weakest pickoff...

The first of hopefully many post-victory outfield celebrations for the Orioles | Photo by Greg Fiume/ In their opening game of 2024, the O’s looked every bit like the heavyweight team they hope to be, plating 11 runs and enjoying a brilliant debut from their new ace. Good morning, Camden Chatters. It’s safe to say the Orioles’ 2024 season couldn’t have gotten off to a better start. In one of the most lopsided Opening Day victories in club history, the Birds clicked on all cylinders in an 11-3 drubbing of the Angels in front of a sellout crowd of 45,029 at Camden...

Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports Thursday’s Opening Day victory against Houston has Yankees fans dreaming about what could be. The first hour or so of yesterday’s Opening Day tilt against Houston had me questioning why I even like this stupid sport. The second hour and a half had me asking how can anyone not love this stupid sport. On its face, the notion that the first game of 162 is more important than others makes no sense. But the Yankees needed an Opening Day like this to wash the stink of last season off of them. Timely hits? Situational hitting? Working counts...
