I will start off the 2021 season with the first game thread. Hopefully it will bring us some good luck!

I have faith in our TBDs.

Interested to see the opening day lineup. There's been scuttlebutt that Semien will bat second, which would be decidedly sub-optimal unless he rediscovers his 2019 stick. He should be batting in the bottom third of the order. Hopefully they don't strike out 27 times against Cole, who looked dominant vs. the Jays in spring training.

Series win here would be huge! Let's go Blue Jays!

Acquiring Graterol seems like a sure sign that McGuire will be DFA-traded shortly. Gives us a AAA backup/emergency callup option.

I work from home... you'd better believe I'll be watching live, at least in the background.

It's been a long and crummy winter... very much looking forward to some baseball.

COVID is still a thing and Yankees games are being blacked out? Seems legit.

thing with New York, is if you want to be vaccinated, you can be. they are literally giving it to anyone who wants it.

they just recently have started vaccinating anyone above 30yo. and you can walk into a pharmacy and ask if they have extra vaccinations

Yeah, completely different scenario here.

The optics just seem weird though despite the availability of a vaccine.

Nonetheless, it is baseball time.

Well that sucked balls.

Great play by Semien to save the inning. If the Jays come back and win, that's the turning point.
