Do Not Sell My Personal Information

I know some of you are night owls, have different schedules, or live more West than me or whatever.

But for me, having 5 of the first six games start at 9:40 or later EST, sucks ass.

I was thinking the same thing. It won't seem like the start of the season. You can't stay up until 1 or 2 a.m. if you have to be at work the next morning. And if you're retired who wants to tape the game and watch it after breakfast?

The good thing is getting six west coast games out of the way right at the beginning of the season.

I start work at 7 am everyday. I’ll maybe watch the first inning and that’s it. Fucking sucks, I hate west coast trips.

I believe Curry should be stretched out as much as the starters are while Gaddis isn't because he is made a bullpen spot not a rotation spot.

We don't need many innings out of whoever it is. I'd rather quality over quantity and I feel better about Gaddis in that department.

Oscar is going to put up even better numbers than last season. What they either fail to realize or don't want to take into consideration is his elite bat to ball skills and immense strength. His exit velocities bear that out. The dude makes a lot of contact and when he makes contact it's scalded. I'll be surprised if he doesn't hit 30 bombs this season. God forbid he start demonstrating a little more discipline because we would be talking about 40 HR over the course of a 600 AB season. What Oscar demonstrated in Cleveland last season is nothing new for him. It was just at a higher level against the best competition.

Agree with all this. Obviously a 296 batting average shows that he's a damn good bad ball hitter. Yogi Berra was a pretty good bad ball hitter too.
 
Guardians right-hander Triston McKenzie has been diagnosed with a strain of the teres major muscle in his throwing shoulder, the club announced. He’ll be shut down from throwing for at least two weeks before being reevaluated. The club estimates he could be out of MLB action as much as two months, though that seems to be at the more pessimistic end of the possible timetable.
 
This is the same injury Karinchak suffered last spring right around this time and he missed 3 months, returning on July 4th.

I remember one year we were starting in Oakland and I happened to have the flu at the time. Dunno how I managed to stay up to watch those games.
