Today is opening day

I can’t wait to see how these rules changes actually change the game

Wonder what storylines come from this season?

Here’s to a great, exciting season
 
I’m for sure curious to see if the pitch clock has a noticeable impact.

 
Batters not in the box by the eight-second mark will receive a strike

Wait to see how this affects at bats

Already seen the larger bases come into play. MLBN has Yankees game on, a Giant stole second. He was called safe but would of been out last year
 
Why did they change the size of the bases?

Haven't they been the same for 100 years?

Just for Altuve

Found this:

This change is being made as more of an installation of safety than to affect gameplay. The idea is to avoid collisions, particularly between players covering first base and players running through it.

There may be some small impacts on the field, e.g. it being slightly easier to steal bases, but they'll likely be minimal.

Also larger base size is a desire to stimulate in-game action and increase excitement for fans
 
If Dustin Pedroia or Kevin Yukilis were still playing they would be 0-1 before they make it to the plate. Those two took FOREVER
Rougned Odor will strike out before even getting into the batter's box.

"Adjust the right glove 3 times, adjust the left glove 4 times, adjust the crotch 2-3 times, adjust the helmet a few times, take 3 practice swings.......YER OUT!"
 
PSA for T-Mobile customers (like me).

They're offering free MLB.tv again this year with certain packages. You'll have to redeem it through the Free Tuesdays app before 4/3.

Took just a few seconds to redeem again this year since I did it last year, so I'm all set for the season. :cheer:
