I don't inherently hate the idea of asymmetrical hats but it still feels like they didn't put that flag in the right place. Maybe if it was on a side panel or slanted?
The Reds would have to wear a cap with a picture of vomit on it.

Use deep dish pizza on a Cubs hat, sure. The Sox hat should have a Ricobene's breaded steak sandwich on it instead though. Or maybe a Maxwell Street Polish.

Dodgers deal for Betts and Price is back on, without the Twins involved. Instead the Dodgers dealt with the Twins directly and are going to end up with Graterol instead of the Red Sox. Hopefully the Angels trade lines up next and gets completed. Joc Pedersen will be an okay(and cheaper) replacement for Kole Calhoun in right field, gives Jo Adell more time to get ready in AAA instead of being rushed up, and additional pitching depth in Ross Stripling. If Adell gets promoted quickly and Pedersen is doing okay he might be trade bait at the deadline.
edit: Nope, the Dodgers/Angels deal has fallen through. High likelihood that Angels owner Arte Moreno's pride blew the deal up because he was impatient waiting on the Betts deal to go through.
Expanding the playoffs for more money is one thing, chase that paper, whatever.
Having the teams select their wildcard opponents in a reality tv format though? Dafuq?
chase that paper
Manfred is proving to be quite a pawn of the owners. I guess they all are though? At least in the case of MLB, so far, they haven't carried through on many of these terrible ideas.......
Effective this season, all pitchers must face at least 3 batters before being substituted
this was a badly needed rules change and is very welcome by this spectator
Hard disagree. Takes away strategy way more than the stupid hemming and hawing over a potential NL DH rule would.
Meh. The entire strategy is "put the lefty pitcher against the lefty batter." What this hurts is the specialists that are only good for one batter and increases the strategy in lineup construction. Doesn't matter where you put your Ls and Rs in the lineup if they're just going to change pitchers every time.
LOOGYs are just more niche now. If you've got two outs though and a lefty coming up, you can still put him in and hope he gets the 3rd out and closes out the half inning. Then you can replace him as the rule is "3 batters or ending the half inning." It's just more of a gamble now because if he gives it up he's got to face two more guys.
I think the Astros might need to invest a little in public relations...or they can keep doing whatever it is they think they're doing and get all of their hitters killed by June.

And there is the final nail in the coffin. This may be the first time I don't draft any Astros pitchers in fantasy in a long while.

Deep dish is great, but I don't associate it with the south side at all.
On the other hand, they could use that as cover.

Winning a division with a crappy-ass record shouldn’t guarantee home field.
