Does that Dodgers payroll number include all the money they're paying guys not on their team? Also pretty amazing that the Yankees still have that high of a payroll with so many homegrown young guys on the opening day roster.

Strongly debating buying the radio-only MLB.tv stream. Only $19.99 for the year... so not bad, but I'll only use it during work hours / only for Pirate games. Not too many week-day day games.

Anyone ever purchase this before? Ever have any issues with it?

USA TODAY's baseball salaries database contains year-by-year listings of salaries for Major League Baseball players on opening day rosters and disabled list

So, no

I buy the at-bat app that comes with the radio privileges. I'm assuming you'd get the at-bat access as well if you just buy the radio. Anyway it's nice to listen at the office when there's a day game. Worth the 20 bucks.. You can choose which broadcast you want too if that's something you would like

Joe block: Clint, do you still get butterflies on opening day?

Hurdle: No, I have a mixture of anxiety and excitement

Polanco out on the base paths first time up.

New season, same stuff.

Cervelli is an OBP machine...

JHay K's

99MPH K for Cole. Nice.

I tried to listen through the Tune In app and it directed me to this link. Check out the ending of it...

Cole is dealing straight fire.

Postby **DigitalGypsy66** » Mon Apr 03, 2017 3:20 pm

That was a nice play by former Gamecock Jackie Bradley Jr.

This team needs 2015 Cole or a reasonable facsimile.

This roster is Littlefield-era Pirates bad.

Adam Frazier is playing some dynamite LF.

Postby **Troy Loney** » Mon Apr 03, 2017 3:41 pm

Looks like the dropoff from David Ortiz to Mitch Moreland is a quite substantial for the Red Sox.

Little league-esque bobble by Cutch in RF. Not a good look.

Proved to be pretty costly.
