Opening Day so close you can smell it.  Like this lineup!

Garcia is definitely the starting CF come opening day right? Thank god.

I'm pretty okay with this lineup.

Nobody get hurt

This looks really close to the OD lineup, aside from Wellington being at C. 

That's what I was thinking. Also McCann got moved down and Eloy is sitting pretty at 5th. I definitely think this will be the OD lineup

I imagine this is opening day, but I'm still not convinced they won't put Jay in CF once his hip is healed.

I think we're going to see a lot of rotation Engel, Leury, Jay and Palka between CF/RF to start the season. Probably enough so no one is going to consistently be getting AB's they probably deserve.

Every game is free game of the day today.

We aren't going to see Sox games that count until Saturday...They are saying 100% chance of Thunderstorms on Thursday, starting in the afternoon of course, going all the way through Friday night, then they get the cold front.

Of course this would happen. Why not? Would they play a double header Saturday? Or schedule that later in the year?

Yeah, it’s looking worse Thursday. Hopefully it isn’t a non-stop rain. If they can get opening day in with rain delays, they’ll do it. 

If it does get called, I don’t think they’ll do a doubleheader with a division team this early in the season. But what they do with tickets is anyone’s guess. Maybe Thursday’s tickets go to Saturday, and Saturday’s tickets go to June. (Yes, assuming Friday is a washout, too)

Friday is the backup opener. 

Watched a KC TV stations forecast. Thursday at game time- thunderstorms at 3. Very windy too. Maybe it becomes a night game.

Looks like just tomorrow afternoon's game will be free on MLB.TV, and then rerun later on MLB Network.

In case you didn't know, since they're in an MLB ballpark they have Trackman data. Santana is sitting 88-90, T91 for anyone who's interested.
