Official MLB 2015 Thread

Bad form. I'm supposed to start the annual baseball thread, then wallow in misery all season long about all the Rockies wasted potential.

Mods, please delete.

Wasted potential? Try nonexistent.

The Rockies release Jhoulys Chacin outright. WTF? Just like Jason Hammel, he's going somewhere else where pitchers can actually pitch and will blow up.

I hate being a Rockies fan. Stupid *** ownership cares about nothing but money. Who should I switch to? Angels or Dodgers?

I don't know about the Angels, but the Magic-Johnson lead ownership group of the Dodgers doesn't seem to care much about money.
 
I will be unable to catch the season opener on television as I will be at the Jazz game. Pretty bummed, but I have the ability to watch the replay. Excited to watch Lester, and really hoping he can have a strong start against the Tards. So excited for the baseball season to get going! It is the best sport out there!

Un-sticky college football!

Unfortunate that the Cubs couldn't get any key hits tonight. It will be a lot of feast and famine for them this year. Famine thus far.

Huge trade between Braves and Padres, bros. Huge. Padres were a team I was already keeping an eye on going into the season. Now they went out and got some more eyeballs.

Moran. Rockies would have several chips if not playing at altitude. They should hire Kennecott to dig 'em a beeg *** hole to play in.

This is cute. I'm sure you're joking, but is this the rallying cry of the Rockie fans who leave comments on the ESPN boards and youtube? I could see that being the go-to point for the stereotypical 'dumb fan'.
 
Cubbies made a bunch of little fielding mistakes too. Stuff like that is why they are a year away from serious playoff contention probly.

Yes. Very unlike a Joe Maddon club, but this team is very raw. Plus, that's why he was hired. The young fellas are in good hands.

The good thing is that, ideally, this is likely the worst team they will have for the next ten years or so. Pron worthy organizational future.

Baseball fans are taking their first swings at the sport's new security guidelines.

Forget shelling out cash for $30 tickets, $9 beers and $16 parking charges. Major League Baseball fans have more reason to empty their pockets, only this time of keys, mobile phones — and whatever loose change might be left — before a day at the ballpark.

MLB morphed into the TSA when it told its 30 teams they had to implement security screening in time for opening day. All fans are expected to walk through metal detectors at all entrance gates, no exceptions.

About time! The only thing I've been holding onto with baseball is that I enjoy going to and watching games in person when I'm in a MLB city. Now, I'll have to seriously debate if it's even worth the hassle to drop into a Dodger/Angels game every once in awhile. Can we just go straight to Indonesian type security in American where there are these things at malls and hotels and the like? I'm tired of being able to walk into and out of places freely. I'm tired of all the Fernandos at Dodger games bringing in bombs. Hug me police state. Queue me up, pat me down, keep me safe. Tuck me in at night.

I can't say anything regarding the NFL or NHL, but the NBA's been doing this for at least a few years. It's annoying if you get there close to game time and it takes longer to get you in, but I always try to arrive early so it's usually not an issue for me.
