On the 99th day of a contentious lockout, Major League Baseball and the players’ union reached a tentative labor agreement for the 2022 season on Thursday. Once in doubt, a full 162-game regular season will be played.
Spring training, which is normally six weeks and was originally scheduled to begin in mid-February, will open this weekend.

I think my reply made that clear.
Other than that, I didn't see much of my father. I was raised by my stepfather, and he treated me with love and respect.
I suppose you mean that you answered your own question. Alrighty then.
Someone cares?
I'm looking forward to next year, they're travelling to Cooperstown for a tournament.
MLB can suck it.
DH is designated hitter—that means pitchers do not have to bat for themselves.
Designated Hitter, where a batter is designated to hit for the pitcher. The American League has had it since 1973, but now the National League has gone to perdition, too.
"Hitters can't hit to all fields, so we're going to make it illegal to position your fielders accordingly. Now you have to play guys on the field in places where a hitter can't hit the ball to save his life."
That's like forcing an NFL team to put two safeties on its own goal line no matter where the ball is placed on the field.
I won't be watching now or ever again unless they apologize to veterans and other patriots and forbid being disrespectful to the National Anthem.
I got an email the other day with a link to Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) speaking at CPAC in February. He said something like, "If you haven't been to Arlington National Cemetery, you should go. It contains 400,000 reasons why you should stand your ass up for the National Antherm".
Who cares.
So, The O’s still have a good chance to lose all 162 games this year?
Go O’s!!!!!
Too bad. I had laid in a stock of popcorn.
You do, aparently since you are posting here. God your anoying.
The MLB, the NFL and the NBA etc, are all dead to me. I don’t even watch college sports, anymore.
I watch F-1, IMSA, IndyCars, and WEC racing.

Oops. National Anthem.
Too bad...
I don't know how often that happens. I think the team with a bye in a playoff round has an advantage just from setting up its starting rotation the way it wants for the next round.
I'll never forget the epic 2004 playoff series between the Yankees and Red Sox. The Yankees were up 3-0 in a best-of-seven series but the Red Sox came back to win it. After the Yankees were up 3-0 I remember telling a co-worker of mine who was a big NYY fan that I didn't think their chances were all that great because of the way the pitching matchups worked out for the last four games. If I remember correctly. the Yankees had wasted their ace on a game early in the series that got rained out, and that made all the difference for the remainder of the series.
I completely quit on baseball when they went on strike.
It might be worth watching the 1987 and 1991 world series games on youtube sometime though. That would be the only players I'd have heard the names of. I have no clue about anybody playing now.
Read the second line in the post.
Sheesh.
