Well Bud Selig and company did a great job with this one. Hey guys, how should we open the regular season? Let's have two of the worst teams in the league play half way across the world when most of this country, especially fans of these two teams, are asleep. And don't televise it live nationally. And then start the rest of the season more than a week later. It's the exact opposite of a good idea

Japanese don't care that it was two of the worst teams playing. They get what they want to see

Congratulations to Cole Hamels, the best-paid #2 SP in mlb for the 2013-2019 seasons.

Reds fans here going nuts over Votto extension....looking forward to see how it compares to Prince deal.

Kinda overshadows the announcement that Reds are placing Chapman in the bullpen because Bill Bray "isn't ready to be the late inning Lefty yet." Letting Dusty Baker handle press releases just seems like a terrible idea.

kuroda/pineda were products of their ballparks and will get destroyed in the bronx. plus pineda's arm will be done due to throwing so many sliders
