Lockout over Spring Training has started and silly season for FA has begun

Braves traded for Matt Olson who grew up in Atlanta suburbs (same HS as Jeff Francoeur), ending Freddie Freeman tenure in Atlanta. A tough and unpopular decision but in long run may be beneficial to a team that has a hard budget each year.

Yankees acquired Josh Donaldson.

I predict that baseball will continue to fade into irrelevance.

universal DH ( ) and banning defensive shifts next year? Gross. I have a hard time being excited for MLB now.

I'm dubious at best on the pitch clock, too.

Joey Votto was mic'd up for an inning last night in the field and the announcers were interviewing him during the game. It was pretty fantastic but I wouldn't want my players distracted on the field.

ah yes baseball, the sport where you have to be laser-focused from the second you step on the field because the action never stops! it's not like the first basemen ever talks to the ump/opposing players/first base coach when the game is going on.

I think the mic’d player thing is pretty cool and very doable in baseball unlike pretty much any other major sport.

The Reds are hilariously bad. 3-22. Team average of .201. Team ERA of 6.68. Opponents are hitting .281 against them.

Ohtani is the opposite of the Reds
