2014 MLB Season Thread: Throw another shrimp on the barbie!

[Bregor]

Not to be outdone by Roger Goodell's ridiculous dreams of international expansion, Bug Selig has decided once again to begin the baseball season in the Eastern Hemisphere. At least he's gone after this year. Anyway, the Dodgers and D-Backs kick things off down under in Sydney, Australia, where there are sure to be dozens of baseball fans. And with all the hype around Yasiel Puig, I'm starting to believe he can do anything, like find that missing plane, save Don Mattingly's job, or write down the rules of baseball according to Brian McCann.

Only two games in and puig is going full diva on the dodgers thus season.

[Moss]

not a good sign that guys like Mattingly and Gonzalez are already annoyed by his act

[BadKarma]

Are people actually surprised by this?

[Moss]

I'm surprised it came up this early in the season, yes

[Bregor]

not a good sign that guys like Mattingly and Gonzalez are already annoyed by his act

Didn't they gut Mattingly's entire staff in the off-season? Seems like he's on borrowed time.

Also yeah I'm totally shocked Puig is getting under people's skin.

[Cail]

Whatd he do already?

[Moss]

Whatd he do already?

He left the game late with an unknown injury; Mattingly seems to be complaining that he always acts hurt or something. Also got himself out twice with terrible baserunning. Adrian Gonzalez got into with him at one point.
