Official 2019 MLB Regular Season Thread - Trade Deadline Wednesday

T-Bex with a monster bomb off sale. Really used his lower half.
 
He leaders all of baseball in fWAR. I had forgotten SEA-OAK had a 2 game set in Japan last week and kept looking at the box score like how does he have 3 homers on the season already?
 
Bryce Harper's attempts to appeal to his new fanbase even went down to his footwear:

But an 0-fer opening game.

Rhys Hoskins with opening day grand slam to power Phillies bats.
 
Two opening day trivia questions:

1) With Ichiro retired, who was the oldest player on an opening day roster yesterday? (HINT: he is the only current MLB player over 40).

2) Who was the youngest American born player on an opening day roster yesterday? (HINT: he was born in NC and turned 21 in December)
 
Fernando Rodney on Q1. Don’t know Q2.
 
Rodney is correct.

Q 2 has an obscure answer. The currently youngest American-born player on an MLB roster is on the Braves.
 
The Dodgers hit eight home runs yesterday. Woof.

Also, Nats fans are super salty: https://www.si.com/mlb/2019/03/28/n...cOq6ZqnUI_9ctOQL2lTaRwWC7_4cqn-UgSt8xtQv43830. Should be a nice reception for Harper next week in DC.

I'd guess 50/50 reception next week when he arrives in DC, but it won't last beyond that. I didn't have much ill-will towards him with how the free agency played out, but I did find myself flipping over to the Phillies game a couple times yesterday to hate-watch his at bats. If he wasn't in our division I would probably find myself rooting for the guy. But since he's a Phillie, no dice.
 
Bryse Wilson

Yes. 4th round pick in 2016, and despite being drafted out of HS (Hillsborough HS near Durham), I believe Wilson has made it the majors leagues before any of the 1st rounders taken that year. The overall #1 pick that year, Mickey Moniak hasn't played above Class A.
 
Realmuto with some big defensive contributions for Phils. Threw out a would be base stealer. Threw out a runner teying to go to second on a throw to the plate. Those plays helped kill two Brave's rallies.
 
Somebody tell me more about Domingo Santana. Because I think I love that big, fluffy son of a bitch.
