    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.

    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.

    I’m fine with it as long as the Houston hat has a trash can

    Deep dish is great, but I don't associate it with the south side at all.

    Good for Mookie. I don't think he would have re-signed in Boston anyway. Don't care for him being on the Dodgers though.

    On the one hand, the Cubs trading Bryant can't look worse.

    On the other hand, they could use that as cover.

    So the Betts trade is on life support after Brusdar Graterol scared the Red Sox with his physical.

    And the Dodgers/Angels deal for Joc Pedersen and Ross Stripling is stuck in limbo waiting for the Dodgers to figure out if they got Betts or not.

    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?

    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.......

    and amid all this darkness..... a glimmer of hope

    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

    I'm all for it during roster expansion (or the postseason)...don't think it'll make that much of a difference from April to August though.

    Hard disagree. Takes away strategy way more than the stupid hemming and hawing over a potential NL DH rule would.

    Picking opponents is dumb, but #1 seed should play the #4 seed.

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

    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.

    Angels are starting this season early. Already one pitcher injured at the start of spring training and out 4-6 weeks.
