Around Baseball

  • Some of the recent changes proposed to baseball have us complaining, but this change may be a good one. In an effort to provide more excitement to the final day of the season, all 15 games on the final day will start at the exact same time (2:00 pm CT). Over the last few years, there's been at least one playoff race that came down to the last day, and this will add more excitement to it.

Today’s Action

It's a full schedule of Spring Training games on tap this weekend. No TV for any of them, and only Saturday's game will be on the radio. Here are the matchups:
