Tyler Naquin.........Minor League deal with the Reds.

Doesn’t feel the same as Tatis

Legit don’t know if we even made a Tribe off-season thread.

But, either way, seems like they may be forced to fire everyone. Might be silver lining if Dolan is forced to go also — but for some reason I feel he will survive this. Because he’s a cockroach.

I just bumped the Tribe thread to the top. It was back on page 3.

I love it on Bobby Bonilla day there is the select few who say BB screwed up by taking that sort of payout........

If he did everything perfectly, invested it correctly, yeah maybe but the guarantee of $$ he received all those years is what I and most likely would have taken!

How do you think Dolan will be forced to sell?

I don’t, which is why I said he’d escape. But this all happened under his watch. The CEO should take the same fall anyone else who covered it up does. He should go.

I didn't realize the scope of the Callaway "allegations" (not sure what term to use here)

Young Mike Piazza and a drunj Mike Schmidt

Experimental Rule Changes...

For whatever reason, this is the first time in my life that I have paid zero attention to the start of MLB.

None.

When I heard on the radio this AM that today was Opening Day I was surprised.

In the past, opening day was a holiday for me.    Spring Training...every single day I would be listening or at the very least check in on the how the Reds were doing but his year....bupkis.

Maybe after last year with the Rona taking it away from us for such a long time, their misspelling of painting MLB on the mounds and whatever the hell they tried to do last year to open the season with social justice (WTF was that?) I have totally lost interest.

At the lower levels I have interest and attended all the scrimmages and games but MLB......sadly, has been lost on me.

One of @JoeyGallo24’s earliest strikeouts 😂 https://t.co/4psMOzGOjG

Ohtani is insane. Starting pitcher...1st inning throws the fastest pitch of the season and then batting 2nd and on the 1st pitch hit a 97 mph high fastball 450 ft snd was hardest hit HR of the season....the hit of that bal shook the pitcher and looked awful since then.

Arlington Stadium tonight

Stanton just hit a 471 ft grand slam

Only a week into the season and we've already got our first fan-made video of just how horrible Angel Hernandez is at his job!

It’s insane they keep putting some guys out there that completely suck. There is a twitter handle called umpire auditor that shows some of the worst calls. Baseball needs to embrace more technology (strike zone and replay) instead of arguing the integrity of the game. The Mets walkoff where the guy put his elbow over the actual plate to get a HBP was ridiculous.
