    What they should have done in this situation was a 4 game series to start the year where you play 2 games in another country and then allow them a 2 day break for travel and finish up the series back home in the States. Maybe even play the final 2 games at a neutral site in the states if it's like Mariners vs Yankees or something like that. That way neither team is really at a disadvantage when they get back to the States.

    Trout homered in his first at-bat. Would be cool to see have him a healthy, 150+-game vintage Trout season.

    Time for Trout to shine now that he's the best player on his team. Might even win league MVP.

    It's baffling that in Trout's career the Angels have had 5 MVP seasons and a losing record with one only one playoff appearance.

    I put money on Soto. He’ll have a massive year in NY.

    Obviously. I mean he taught Ruth how to hit after all.

    Can’t stand the old man. For the fact 1000s of kids are doing that shuffle thing this spring. It’s a mix between a raging bill and a stroke

    This happened yesterday during the Cubs/Rangers game. Almost the same thing that happened against us last season. Bull**** that is not reviewable.

    It is absolutely ridiculous that play isn't reviewable. They easily agree to push through these new bull**** rules about the shift and pitch clock, but they can't agree to have a booth review of a simple foul tip where a runner scores?

    We'd need a commissioner that actually cares about the product on the field to do something like that.

    This is not a comissioner issue. Needs to be reviewable though.
