That can’t be Minute Maid stadium; there are more than five people in the stands.

Sad, really that baseball chose to throw tradition out the window. Opening Day was in Cincinnati so they could have a citywide holiday and hold a parade to celebrate. Now, that’s been kicked to the curb. Thank you MLB and thank you ESPN for that.

I hate when a close game with men in scoring position… and the pitcher comes to bat … strike out that is.

The designated hitter rule was first proposed literally decades before it was implemented (but of course anybody can propose anything…) I personally like it, and I also like that the National League doesn’t use it. (I personally hate inter-league play, but that’s a whole other rant!)

Like the lady says in the last panel, I think that I also finally understand the DH rule . Go Tigers?

Thank you, Tank, for a loud ROTFLMAO.

Today, at least, Opening Day IS a holiday! In the old days there were protests about Sunday baseball. If they could only see Opening Day on Easter Sunday……

All you people who don’t like pitchers batting——check out what Clayton Kershaw did today!
