MLB Opening Weekend Reactions (Torpedo Bat Discussion) | 282

  • Summary

  • After a long offseason, baseball is officially back — and Opening Weekend did not disappoint. In this episode, we react to the biggest headlines, surprises, and storylines from across the league.


    We kick things off with the hot topic of the weekend: torpedo bats (5:26). Are they the future of hitting or a gimmick with unintended consequences? We dig into the controversy, how they’re impacting the game, and what MLB might do about them.


    Next, we shift to the Bronx, where the Yankees opened the season by sweeping the Brewers in convincing fashion (23:46). We break down the key performances, what stood out most, and why this team looks locked in from the jump.


    Then we take a trip around the league (33:27), sharing our thoughts on everything from early struggles to unexpected results. We talk about Roki Sasaki and Rafael Devers getting off to slow starts, the Braves being swept at home, and Jurickson Profar’s stunning 80-game PED suspension. We also touch on the White Sox tarp fail, MLB.TV’s persistent streaming issues, the Red Sox starting 1-4, and how the Cubs were lucky to leave Arizona with a split.


    From big-picture takeaways to the weird and wild, we’ve got all your Opening Weekend reactions covered!
