Why not just keep 1 thread like it's always been

Why not just keep 1 thread like it's always been

There was a request made in the offseason to do it like this with some support. We'll give this a try for a little while and see whether this or the old method is liked more.

Pirates at Tigers postponed... split doubleheader tomorrow

I think they should stop having Detroit start the season at home. They seem to always get rained out.

Also, I like individual threads on each day. Maybe the days games feel more important.

Who knew that playing outdoor baseball games in March in northern cities would cause issues?

 

[Blitzkrug]

Blue Jays lineup for today:

Pearce LF
Donaldson DH
Smoak 1B
Solarte 3B
Grichuk RF
Pillar CF
Diaz SS
Maile C
Ngoepe 2B

That is...ghastly to say the least for a team who's scored 2 runs in their first two games.

Travis/Martin both out for rest purposes

 

[rangerssharks414]

Matt Adams just killed a ball.

 

[hockeykicker]

holy matt adams just wow

MLB should’ve learned after that one Mariners/Indians series in Cleveland that was completely wiped out by snow in 2007. All northern teams (except Milwaukee, Seattle, and Toronto since their parks have roofs) should be on the road for opening day.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

I don't understand MLB Scheduling. It seems like a lot of these west coast teams have stock piled games against their division (For example, I think the Giants play their division for the entire month of April other than a two game series against the Mariners which is this week), yet this is when they could be playing teams that can't play at home because it's raining. Why are the A's starting against the Angels, and not Detroit, or Chicago. Seems like the best time to stock pile divisional games would be in August or September, when the playoff chases are heating up.

well apparently adam eaton says i want the batting title lol

I don't have an issue with daily threads. It might get a little dire once there are only a few games on a day though.

Is that any different than the NHL's Wednesday Night or Monday Night slate where there could be four or less games?

This is a hockey website, so yes.

Have a day, Adam Eaton.

I mean sure in theory but it's not gonna be much better with the season starting earlier and earlier each year. Even if you somehow kept all the northeast teams on the road the first ten days of the season you'd still have the same crap weather in early-mid April when they'd have to start playing home games.

 

[Satan]

Adam Eaton knockinggggg

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Who needs pitchers in a points fantasy league when Adam Eaton is pretty much doing all the work. Unreal day he's having.

But you can manage weather delays. Opening Day/Week feels different in that you have all the ceremonies and pomp and circumstance.

Pillar steals 2nd 3rd and home in the 8th inning

Yankees fans are done with Betances based on twitter (he is trending worldwide!).

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

I’m predicting Betances ends up with an ERA over 4 this year.
