LET’S TALK SPORTS
Well MLB OPENING DAY is finally upon us with some new notable rules—the universal DH?! I'm not sure how I feel about that one. I'll have to see how it goes this season before commenting. However the starting pitcher can remain in the game as a hitter after being pulled from the game. That's great news for Shohei Othani! MLB eliminated the shift. We'll see what transpires out of that change.
Tiger Woods makes his colossal comeback to golf by playing in the Masters. Just to be on the course competing is a major accomplishment in itself. It would ROCK the sports world if he wins it all!!!
The NBA playoffs start next week. It’s really sad to see the Lakers implode. Defense is nonexistent! The team explains the losing along with AD'S injury woes—however the Suns will win the West. Their final opponent will most likely be the Bucks unless the Nets get it figured out. Will the Suns get their revenge like the Lakers did in beating the Celtics in the 2010 finals?
Seismic changes in the NFL and trades continue to happen. The Rams showed that teams can win by trading away top future picks for experienced great players—AND win a Super Bowl! Cincinnati has that similar model which has caused a Seismic change in the NFL with more shaking and baking all the way up to the draft. Exciting time of the Sports year!
