We talk all things Opening Weekend, including MLB debuts, Albert Pujols’ first game back as a Cardinal, Ke’Bryan Hayes, Jose Ramirez and Aaron Judge contract extension updates, ESPN broadcasts continuing to be terrible, the Braves’ World Series ring reveal, the Astros possibly turning a page for their organization, the Mets scuffling with the Nationals, the Rays’ rather easy start to the season, Rob Manfred’s gift of headphones to players, the Astros’ City Connect jerseys and much more! Enjoy!
