Wonder if ATT did something with audio this year or is it just me. The crack of the bat audio seems crisper, sharper.

I think we end April same as last year 10-11 (and last year we had Altuve and Brantley). We're good.

It's still insane to me that Meyers started the 1st two games with Chas on the bench

Bringing it.

100.8 and was actually the only pitch over 100. The rest were rounded up.

I said before the season Abreu has what it takes - talent is there and mentally is getting there - to be a shut down closer. Give Presley the 7th and sometimes 8th.

I wonder if Dusty is comfortable playing him in RF and/or 3B. Once Brantley is back, how much time is he actually going to get at DH or LF? If he can play those other positions, he can spell Tucker & Bregman plus PH late for Maldy.

So when do we start the sub-thread monitoring Dubon's pursuit of a .400 batting average?

Yeah like I said to the one remaining Meyers fan yesterday, I'm not ready to give up on him just yet but he needs to be in AAA rebuilding his confidence and/or trade value.

Chas is our CF. No doubt about it. I'm not ready to anoint Julks just yet but with Altuve & Mike out we need to go with the hot hand and hopefully he can show enough to keep getting ABs somewhere when Mike is back. Apparently he plays 2b and 3b as well.

Not to bring the mood down, but I'm listening to Jet Passan on a radio show and they were discussing beer sales extending into the 8th inning. He is saying MLB is essentially banking on the pitch clock to bring in more casual fans to the games to make up for the decrease in the time of the game.

I actually don't mind the pitch clock, but I hate that MLB is treating it like some saving move for the game. Growth of the game will not come from the pitch clock. It will come from them deciding to get their heads out of their asses by doing some actual marketing and fixing blackout restrictions.

Feels like they're throwing buckets of water out of a boat that has a hole in it instead of fixing the hole.

Yes, I hope MLB isn't treating this pitch clock thing as the Holy Grail to "saving the game". I like that the games are quicker, at least when I'm watching them on TV. But I don't know if I'm going to like as much if I'm in the stadium (haven't been to a game yet this season). We'll see if it draws more people to the ballpark. I have my doubts. You're spot on that they need to do massive fixes to their marketing strategy (or lack thereof). There are some really good, young players in the league that need to be household names.

You knew it would happen with the shorter game times. Gotta make the $.
Curious what pre-gaming events will come about.
