NYY @ HOU: Nestor Cortes vs. Framber Valdez

Photo by Bob Levey/ Chapter 1 of 162 begins now. We’ve made it, friends. Opening Day has arrived. The Yankees begin the season deep in the heart of Texas, taking on their most hated rivals of the last decade in the Houston Astros. A popular pick to once again win the AL West, the Astros do enter play with a little more vulnerability than in previous seasons, especially in their pitching rotation. They will be tapping their best for today, however, with Framber Valdez getting the ball in his third straight Opening Day start. As long as his body holds up, he’ll be one...

Opening Day Gamethread: Tigers at White Sox

The sun rises, perhaps for the final time for the White Sox as a .500 team in 2024. | Chicago White Sox Plus, your South Side Sox coverage guide for the season! The season sure did sneak up on me. But as I take my traditional leadoff spot in the batting order with the Opening Day game, let’s take a second to outline our South Side Sox season ahead, before getting to lineups and again scratch the existential dread on the 2024 season. We are modifying our coverage this season, given the safe likelihood of a 100-loss season. Gamethreads and recaps (with MVP/Cold Cats...

Photo by Tim Warner/ Finally! For more on Opening Day, look at our Game Preview HERE and Series Preview HERE. Below is the 26-man roster to start the season. A few curiosities. No Bryan Abreu due to his two-game suspension. Neither Brandon Beilak nor Spring star Ronel Blanco are there either. But they are replacing Verlander and Urquidy temporarily while both are on IL. Here is today’s lineup and media access. I think most of us wanted to see this lineup almost every day last year. Go Joe.

Seiya Suzuki hits a home run in Spring Training | Photo by Chris Coduto/ These factors could be the difference between making the playoffs or not It’s Opening Day, y’all, and hope springs eternal around Wrigley Field. Most projection systems see the Cubs as being competitive in a weak National League Central division, but in shouting distance of first place. Today I want to take a look at the factors that could make or break our October dreams as Cubs fans. Is this the Seiya we’ve been waiting for? Seiya Suzuki has had his ups and downs in a Cubs uniform so far....

CINCINNATI – Victor Robles is on the Nationals’ Opening Day roster for the sixth straight year. He is not, however, in the starting lineup for the first time.Opting for what he hopes will be a better offensive matchup, manager Davey Martinez decided to start veteran Eddie Rosario in center field, with Jesse Winker in left field, for today’s season opener against the Reds.“They’re both really good against right-handed pitching,” said Martinez, whose team is facing Cincinnati righty Frankie Montas. “I looked at the matchups, and I like the matchups. … This is the matchup I...

The Beginning: Mariners vs. Red Sox Series Preview

Photo by Jane Gershovich/MLB Photos via Now is the winter of our discontent, made glorious summer by this opening of spring days. It was a long and winding road to get to this point. At times, it felt like the Mariners were heading backwards, sideways, and every which way except forward. But they managed to red paper clip their way into a roster that looks roughly as talented as it has the past few seasons. Was every stone left unturned? Absolutely not. Their ability to construct a competitive roster under the artificial constraints placed on them by a risk-averse...
