MLB 2018 Season

He was awful.

Shout out to Dave Martinez for his first ejection as a manager today. Rendon got tossed without saying a single word (bat flip of disgust) and Davey voiced his displeasure.  He could use a little work on the dirt kick but the effort was there.

Can Miller Park get some blinds for the upper deck windows like they have at the AL?  Those shadows today looked awful on television especially when the camera had to make a quick transition on a ball hit from a sun covered infield to the dark outfield.

I've seen lots of other parks with shadows (especially Wrigley) but never any as extreme as today was. Is that common at Miller Park?  I don't watch any Brewer games aside from when they play the Cubs.

It's normally not that big a problem as the combo of a closed roof, bright sun, and 3p starting time is incredibly rare at Miller.  When it's a 1p start on Sunday, you'll get a band across the infield on a sunny day with the roof typically open unless it's cold.  Plus the inability of the camera lense to handle both bright and shadow magnified the affect on TV.  It's been discussed through the years and rejected.

You know whats truly awful? A movie about the Brewers where their ultimate goal is to come in 3rd place.... in the NL central. Like the entire basis of the movie revolves around them getting the magical achievement of grabbing 3rd place. And they couldn't even be bothered to pronounce Waukesha correctly.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

I believe this is in reference to Mr. 3000.

Tough loss for the Brewers last night. Our defense in the ninth was horrific.

Never saw it. Really don't know anything about it.

+1. And I'm guessing the Brewers didn't write the movie, but maybe I'm wrong?

We'd probably know more about the movie if they'd celebrate it every game by having a series of B-list celebrities singing about it.

I'll take the 5-4 road trip.

The Cubs' home opener has been postponed until tomorrow. The snow is supposed to stop by early afternoon though. Sounds like more Cubbie mind games! I wonder if Hurdle and Huntington will cry to the media about it

I guess snow is similar to mid 60s and sunny.

Sounds like a Cubs fan indeed.

PS Your material is old get over it.

At least as of now, the Sox game, a whole 10 miles away, is still proceeding as planned.

Any opinions here on Ohtani?

My thought was that it was a lotta hype - as baseball is prone to do. But, this may be the best start for a rookie in baseball history.

He currently ranks in the top 5 in MLB for both 4-seam fastball velocity from the mound and exit velocity from the plate. Unprecedented - although we don't know where The Babe ranked at the same point in his career (for obvious reasons). Don't think he can keep it up, but what are opinions here?

Please, Wades, no "juiced" comments

MLB schedules a day off following opening day, making it easier to reschedule Opening Day festivities, (it's why the White Sox didn't play on Friday).

idk this might be unplayable

It's still snowing at Wrigley. It hasn't snowed on the south side since the morning drive.

I'm a couple of blocks away. No, it's not. It was an awful decision.

You really put the "u" in turd, Wades.

It's lake effect snow. It was snowing, it will be snowing again shortly.

It's the right decision, Tuesday is off exactly for this. Almost 50 degrees and dry tomorrow? Great weather.

Do you expect them to plow the entire field?

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Do you expect them to plow the entire field?

Yeah, it wasn't a blizzard. This game could have been played without issue.

[Pakuni]

The White Sox are playing without a problem (well, other than their inability to score runs). No plow necessary.
