We're sorry all those updates only included Atlanta scoring runs. 😬

Let's gooooooo!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Me, this morning: I guess half my feed is now Marlins content? 🤔 I don't hate it. Thanks, @SasquatchVinnie and @ForeverMarlins. LFG!!

Oh, hello, screen I will be looking 2,638 times over the next seven months.

#Royals have a ton of MLB experience in Triple-A Omaha this year.

A special message from our No. 1 fan. Thank you, @SarahNauser. 💙

Union Station is #Royals ready for #OpeningDay

This made me LOL 😹

Me liking every baseball post I see on the timeline 🔥

Some things about that opening ceremony were a little bit more WWE and a little bit less baseball.

1. With Massey starting on the IL (I assume Tolbert goes down when he returns) this is the correct 13 hitters. 2. There are 5 guys I'd rather have than Falter, but they had options, he doesn't. If he struggles, or Estevez's FB remains AWOL, I trust they'll pivot quickly. 3. LFG

Loftin and Tolbert make the bench for the #Royals. Lange and Falter grab final two spots in bullpen. Massey and Kolek to IL. Waters gets DFA’d.

We have made the following roster moves:

Here we go! First career Opening Day roster selections for Noah Cameron, Nick Mears, Carter Jensen, Jac Caglianone, & Tyler Tolbert.

Our 26 to open '26.

The 2019 Nationals shocked the baseball world by overcoming what was at one point a 0.1% chance of taking it all the way. These teams all won the World Series. On this day, the start of it all, hope springs eternal. Let's play ball. (2/2) #baseball #mlb #mlbopeningday

The 2011 Cardinals had, at a point mid-season, about a 1% chance of making the playoffs. The 2003 Marlins had a low payroll, ranking 25th in the league, and no one expected much from them. (1/2)

Here we go, everyone. The poetic, connecting, beautiful, agonizing, exciting, meditative chess match that is baseball. Enjoy.

If the #Royals are serious, they have two options with Carlos Estevez heading into opening weekend: 1. Stick him on the IL and let him continue to ramp up in side sessions. 2. Use him in low-leverage situations only until the velocity comes back. Veteran deference should only get you so far. Trotting him out to protect a ninth-inning lead, if he's sitting 90-91, is foolhardy. Every game is going to count; sacrificing one or two wins in March/April to be nice to your closer is a good way to shoot yourself in the foot in September. Whether he's a 23 YO trying to make his first roster or a 33 YO established big leaguer, he's simply not ready to pitch in a high-leverage MLB situation. I hope Estevez proves me wrong and is sitting 94 Friday night, but I highly doubt it'll happen.
