That outfield is gonna be fun.

That's a pretty fun lineup for the opener. Excited to see Frelick, Wiemer, Contreras, Voit, & Mitchell plus to see real major league guys like Adames & Rowdy.

Interested to see the pitch clock in action. Machado got the first violation.

Get rid of the stupid scroll on the bottom.

Put the pitch clock down by the score, like they do the shot clock in basketball. Annoying having it higher up.

Wiemer + Mitchell :nod:

Hell of a start for Mitchell

A 7-4 game in 2:21, be still my heart.

Sal Frelick looks like older Eddie from Stranger Things.

First impressions of the pitch clock. Loved it, kept the game moving.

Will probably be great for TV watchers, but those who like to spend a bunch of time at the ballpark might be upset

Turang with a hit, Frelick with 2 hits and Wiemer with a hit in the B game. Both games longer than yesterday but both have had a lot of runs scored.

Last years 1st round pick, Eric Brown Jr., with a home run today

I've watched three innings of Spring Training and absolutely love every single one of the new rules to speed up the game. Might watch more baseball this year.

Do they have automatic balls and strikes now?

This is so long overdue. And if MLB wants to hide this, just give the ump an ear piece with a ding when it is a strike.

And it would save time and it is very accurate. No more arguments as well.
