MLB 2022

- Start date
the game is dead the owners have killed it
fecking idiot owners and their puppet Manfred.
That Manfred press conference pissed me off so much. These owners don't care about the fans. They're killing the sport.
No plans to reschedule those games either, so effectively a shortened season.
It's at 155 as it stands but me thinks this'll drag out longer.

Once they agree to a deal,how quickly can the season start after that ?
MLB just can't help themselves.
Wish I knew but I only started following baseball last year.
I'm going to tag @calodo2003 to see if he has an answer, because he's a cool dude who loves a tag.
I have checked and it’s 3-4 weeks of spring training before they will start
Ouch.
let me check with @calodo2003
Lots happening today...

They've been having a lot of negotiations the past few days...news was drowned out by NFL trades/signings and obviously Russia.
Having 162 will be the saving grace and re-shuffling the schedule a little bit is of minor importance. League/Owners will not speak to their greed nor shortcomings, per usual, but the quicker Spring Training starts...and free agency movement, the better for everyone.

NL will permanently adopt the DH. Thank feck I finally do not have to watch pitchers bat.
Chicks dig the long ball.
Excuse me, I’ve been told size doesn’t matter.
So happy it's the full schedule, can't wait for it to get started.
I'm full in the American sports this year.

Who’s your baseball team?
I have avoided the NL because of that. Now I have no excuse to ignore the Dodgers and Giants.
Well last season I watched a lot of Oakland A's games until they were eliminated from contention. Also enjoyed watching some of the Dodgers games.
Player wise, I like Tatis Jr, Mookie Betts, Chapman and Piscotty.
For the world series though, I supported the Braves.
Anybody interested in doing a fantasy draft this year?
I've never played it before so I'm hoping someone can explain how it works

Can I interest you in the other Bay Area team?
I was going to say that their ballpark is awful for hitters but the A's ballpark is only marginally not as awful.Can I interest you in the other Bay Area team?
Let’s go Blue Jays
Any predictions on where Freddie Freeman ends up? I have a feeling it will be with the Dodgers. I understand the Braves being reluctant to sign him for six years but he's a hero in Atlanta and if I was a Braves fan I would be disappointed. As a Marlins fan I'm glad to have him out the division.
Plus the Giants park is fantasic and not in danger of falling down. The food is amazing, or at least it was when I used to go.
@Eboue have you been to the Giants' ballpark? You haven't posted pictures of games in a while.
yes the giants park is the best one. here's a few pictures from last year's trip. im going to phoenix la and anaheim next month which will complete all 30 parks.
The smell of the garlic fries at Candlestick was magical.
Sorry you had to visit the Trop.yes the giants park is the best one. here's a few pictures from last year's trip. im going to phoenix la and anaheim next month which will complete all 30 parks.
Hopefully anybody but the Dodgers! Their infield would be absolutely stacked with Trea, J. Turner, Muncy and Freddie.Any predictions on where Freddie Freeman ends up?

I reckon he'll stay at the Braves or go the Yankees as an upgrade on Voit
P.s. How do you fancy your chances this year in the NL East?
@Eboue Those are nice pictures. I'm kind of amazed that you almost went to all of them.
The Giants had a nice runCan I interest you in the other Bay Area team?
Was an interesting series against LA Dodgers, would have probably rallied around them if they beat them. I've kinda got my first dislike of an MLB team, and that is the Houstons, so a bit of an easy choice. Seeing you still trying to find a team made me more aware of the fact that I don't have a team and probably never will. I love baseball for pitching, I look at the probable pitchers schedule on MLB.com and pick the ones I want to see.The Giants had a nice run
