I hope the Rockies are on the road for the first month or so. . Feels like the weather is gonna suck for the first month. My son is playing HS baseball, he's a freshman, they're supposed to have their first scrimmage next weekend, I'm looking out the window and I don't see that happening.

I’m not gonna lie. I wish local opening day would be like May or something. I ain’t ready.

Mlb baseball package!

Growing up in PA, we had "spring" scrimmages and tournaments where it snowed every year it seemed. Sucked picking up a slider in that weather...sucked even more being a catcher when it was 30 degrees.

I didn't play HS baseball after my freshman year because 1.) It overlapped with my hockey season for at least a month... 2.) Basically the entirety of the season is still winter in NW Colorado. I liked playing baseball in the summer as it's meant to be played. Playing in the gym, fielding ground balls on the airport runway, and taking BP in freezing weather wasn't much fun.

Chuck loves baseball so much that he's fine playing in shit weather. Also the summer program he plays in has more games than his HS schedule. We're going to Omaha this year during the College WS to play in a tournament.

Bryce Harper a Phillie - 13 years, $330 million. Dayum.

My heart breaks. Dodgers really did everything wrong this offseason.

Interesting. That’s less, per year, than both Machado and Arenado.

Probably a good deal for both sides really. Harper gets a shit ton of money and long term security while the Phillies get a superstar who will always play hard and be a solid contributor.

I don't particularly care for Harper that much but he does play the game the right way in terms of his hustle. Machado is the one guy of the three major contract getters this off-season that I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. I can see Machado's production declining sharply. He flat out admitted that he's not a 'hustler" and that alone would make me if I was an owner, stay clear of him.

Maybe we can eek out a WC berth.

13 years with no opt out.

Sounds like my boys up here. The field, all high school games were played on, was field turf except the outfield. A couple years the boys played, they had to get all the teams together to snow blow & shovel the field to get it ready for games to start at the end of April because there was a few feet of snow still left

Night and day difference from growing up in Louisiana when we thought 60 degrees was chilly for practice and games in Feb & March. LoL.
