Cup of Coffee: March 20, 2024

Good morning! It’s Opening Day!

Well, technically it is in that, as most of you are reading this, the first game that counts in the 2024 regular season is going on over in Seoul, South Korea between the Padres and Dodgers. I appreciate that it doesn’t really feel like Opening Day given that most Opening Day games do not start at 6AM EDT and most Opening Day Games aren’t followed a few hours later by more spring training action in Florida and Arizona. But it does count, so hooray for the regular season!

Today we talk about the Opening Day starters, the leadership mishegoss at the MLBPA, some serious and righteous shade thrown at a Trump advisor by a couple of reporters, a story about a photograph that doesn’t matter much but which I wanted to tell anyway, and how I’m gonna sing along with the common people in September. Well, the common people who can afford to buy expensive concert tickets and travel out of state anyway. Yes, I’m aware of the irony.
