Average MLB game on Opening Day - 2Hr 45 Min

#

2022 Opening Day Stolen Base Total: 5. 2023 Opening Day Stolen Base Total: 21.

#

2022 had 4 caught stealings for a 56% success rate. 2023 had 2 caught stealings for a 91% success rate.

#

Opening Day 2023 vs Opening Day 2022: Time of game, avg, & steals with the rule changes

#

Since only 7 games were on the first day of the 2022 season, I folded in the first two days of that season, so it'll encompass the 19 games total from April 7-8, 2022 vs the 15 today. Steals per game are also across both teams in each game, not per team

2022: 3:17 avg time, .230 average, 0.37 steals/gm

2023: 2:45 avg time, .252 average, 1.4 steals/gm

The Orioles 5 stolen bases nearly equaled all of MLB’s Opening Day(s) total last year (7). There were also 6 games with more than 1 steal, none last Opening Day(s).

The shortest game last Opening Day(s) was Padres/Diamondbacks at 2hr44 minutes. 9 games were shorter today.

Only one game – the Jays/Cardinals slugfest – went over 200 minutes; 7 of last year’s 19 Opening Day(s) were 200+

10 of 15 games were under 3 hours today. Only 3 of the 19 opening day games last year were sub-3.

Only one of those games last year had 20+ combined hits (Astros/Angels April 8). There were 5 today.

also in context for the statement about League Two; while I probably exaggerated there with the punishment Manchester City is currently being charged for 100+ breaches of the financial rules since their owners took over in 2009, of which Liverpool should have won three extra titles and not faced embarrassment with the Gerrard slip incident in 2014 assuming City was charged earlier

New Bengals TE Irv Smith Jr.'s 1-year deal is for a base value $1.75M, with the chance to make a maximum of $2M, per source.

Nice value for Cincinnati and a really good spot for Smith to play a useful role in a high-octane passing offense.

it's literally tragedy chanting over fucking Hillsborough/Heysel of all things, since a lot of the fucking fallout from Heysel (which was Liverpool fans' faults and essentially caused the entirety of England to be banned from Europe for five years because UEFA saw it as a bigger problem) impacted how these cunts saw Hillsborough

#

yeah long story short: English hooliganism during football was a massive problem in the 1980s but hadn't impacted the European competitions until the Heysel disaster, so guess what was made an example to the rest of England

#

and then Hillsborough happened not even 5 years later and the media/police just made a fucking awful mess out of Liverpool fans, the former of which included a tabloid owned by Rupert Murdoch claiming that Liverpool were "always the victims" and laying down awful things that were later confirmed false

which is what the Chelsea fans were fucking singing, hilariously enough I think almost every PL club has gotten away with singing this season, including the club on the other side of Hillsborough stadium when the disaster happened

#

Manchester City has gotten away with it twice, it was awful when we were losing prior to the WC because it was constant

#

even more infuriating is that Man City fans couldn't fucking keep a minute's silence last season during an FA Cup at Wembley to honor the victims

but regardless I just... I have never stepped foot in Liverpool let alone England and those chants absolutely infuriate me
