Somebody show Eloy Jimenez highlights of Avi Garcia's career and see what happens when you become too reckless on defense. I like that he tries hard, but sometimes it's best to take it easy.

Not until Oakland gets a new stadium Tropicana Field agrees. I might end up at that shitty stadium when I go to Tampa this week to see the Yankees play before Mania

Astros sweep the A's this weekend in emphatic fashion.
Either that, or the Athletics really suck.

Yanks put up no offense. Det was competitive against Indians (tho I think Indians and Red Sox are going to be overrated early)

Milwaukee, Tampa Bay, Miami or heaven forbid Oakland should get the All Star Game Obviously won't go into the political/legal reasons why, but given why MLB is pulling out of Georgia for the ASG, they probably shouldn't be looking to move the game to Florida, since some very similar stuff is being proposed there. Hell, even Wisconsin has some questionable stuff in that regard, though I'd like the idea of having the game in Milwaukee so they can still honor Hank Aaron. We shall see, I suppose. And, hey! It's Opening Day for the Mets! Thanks for making us wait a weekend, Nats. Then again, now it appears that Braves/Nats won't happen tonight, either. What a bad way to start the year. Also, still way too many players just going "Well, I don't know if I'll get the vaccine..." Dude, you play a game around dozens of other players, staff, reporters, etc., and you'll be traveling all over the country. Get the damned shot. Honestly, I think there should be consequences if a bunch don't.

There should be blowback from the league for that, but it'll just be another issue on the bickering pile between the players and the owners. I still have no faith in the league after they let Justin Turner pull that shit that he did.

There was a 5-6 min review in the bottom of the 1st between the Sox and Orioles on a pickoff play. That's the most 2021 Baseball thing ever. It's not just baseball, it's permeated all sports now. I seriously want to know who the audience is for this. Who is sitting in the arena or at home, riveted at the thought of a bang-bang play going to review for five minutes? It absolutely decimated the pace of play in the NBA Playoff bubble last summer, it's absolutely interminable in baseball, it's gratingly annoying in football when they take minutes to decide whether the ball crossed the plane on 1st and goal from the 1-yard-line, and it's at its absolute worst in hockey when they need to grind the game to a halt to decide whether a skate was a centimeter ahead of the blue line before the puck. If the replay isn't clear and conclusive after 60 seconds of review, it should stick with the call on the field/court/ice. There's no reason for instant replay to be annihilating the viewing experience like it is. All four major American sports have made perfect the enemy of good.

"Getting the play right" has overtaken pace of game If it's a big play or really any play close and late, it's totally worth it. Other times, it's tedious. I'd legit rather watch commercials than the same replay 17 times in a row while an announcer explains what I'm watching like I'm a blind person and not seeing the same exact shit he is.

I agree Taking your time on plays late in the game or something really close, you should take your time. These early or tedious plays, nah it should be bang bang. Add on the fact the announcers be f***ing stuck too cause they at home like we are watching the games
