Just saw Fernando Rodney is close to a deal with the Mariners. This makes me wonder, does his crooked hat bother anyone else?Not a fan of it.. but.. to each his own... doesn't CC Sabathia do that as well?
Maybe to a small extent, but not to the extreme as Rodney.

Anyone else feeling anxious? The first games of spring training are today!
We have a new collision rule in testing as well as new instant replay rules! Can't wait to see the first challenge flag/ball/device thrown, it's going to feel just like the NFL... ugh.
Does anyone plan on going to their local opening day extravaganza in about 3 weeks?

Can't wait... although it doesn't seem like Opening Day is close with a wind chill of 1 degree and snow still on the ground here in Ohio.

Yeah, Opening Day here in New York will likely be pretty chilly as well!
I've never been to an Opening Day -- one of these times, I will!

My team (Phillies) is still enjoying their fall from grace--and probably their Medicare checks as well! I just can't believe Ruben Amaro (a.k.a. Ruin T'Maro) still has a job. Almost every question about the team has to be answered for them to even have a chance. Unfortunately, someone for got to tell Ruin that a clock runs forward--not backward!

I'm intrigued by some of the new rules and replay, looking forward to see how it all plays out.
The Giants are basically the same team as the 2012 champions, except older. Older is bad for guys like Scutero and Panda, older may be good for Belt. The pitching staff won't be nearly as dominant, with almost the same set of guys. They went from 3 aces (Cain, Bumgarder, Lincecum) to 1.5 (Bumgardner, 0.5 Cain) and 3 number four starters (Hudson, Lincecum and Vogelsong). Maybe the luck will flow once again.

One of those fancy new padded caps they are allowing pitchers to wear this year wouldn't have helped Chapman at all.
Yowza! Poor guy, hope he recovers quickly. Fractured face from a 99mph fastball.

That is awful to watch. I think his recovery is going to be pretty long. I wonder if he will be gun shy at all.

Says he should be ready to pitch by mid May last I saw.

Dodgers team salary higher than Yankees this year...
March 26, 2014 at 6:46 am
Not too surprising.... we shall see how good the Dodgers are this season....
Opening Day next week for everyone.... The weather here in Ohio is supposed to start being normal temps and Opening day in Cincinnati with the Cardinals is supposed to be in the 60s.... The Reds have walking wounded so I don't have any idea how they are going to start... Chapman down from the rocket he took to his head, three starters throwing AA games, bench player seperated shoulder.... two key relief pitchers not throwing... yikes.
Let the games begin!!!!

Detroit Tigers start swinging in about 1/2 an hour!
Guns, guns, guns. C'mon, Sal.
The Tigers are playing... [slaps the table]
tonight. I never miss a game.

Was watching some baseball shows on MLBTV and I'm surprised that most all the analysts have the Nationals going to and winning the world series. Sure will be interesting to watch that happen, being such a young team after last year's performance. Can they turn it around this year like the Sox did the year before?
Talk about a crappy end to spring training. Shane Victorino pulls a muscle in the last spring training game and lands on the 15 day DL. Yu Darvish starts on the DL as well with neck problems. Chapman, well, we saw what happened to him.
Then (Don't watch the video if you get light headed watching people get injured)this guy, OUCH! I feel terrible for him, so unfortunate that this happen on a ceremonial first pitch during his first regular season game as the hitting coach.
The other half of the league debuts tonight, lots of good games.
