The 2017 MLB season begins April 2, and we’ve previewed the whole thing for you! We’ve got predictions for every team, awards, the postseason, and a whole bunch of features. We’ve even got a theme: The focus is on the future and changing face of baseball.
Did you miss us publishing the preview on Tuesday? Or maybe you just want a convenient walk-through. Either way, you’ll get it in today’s edition of Say Hey, Baseball.
- Grant Brisbee wrote up predictions for y’all, and you should read them.
- Baseball games these days are so long. Just so, so long. We took a game from 1984 and one from 2014 and broke down everything to see just why they take up so much time, and the reason might not be what you think it is.
- The success of the World Baseball Classic, a record number of countries with players in MLB, potential expansion outside the US — the future of baseball is international, and so is its present.
- That’s not all from our MLB preview! Charlotte Wilder is here to tell you why rule changes won’t strip baseball of its magic.
- We have to appreciate these baseball players before they’re gone!
- Here’s a look at the past, present, and future of baseball hair.
- And to wrap up the preview, Jon Bois wrote a feature explaining what the Pioneer 10 space probe has in common with baseball. That description doesn’t do it justice, though, so just trust and get reading.
- At Deadspin, Sung Min Kim explained how you can be a fan of the Korean Baseball Organization.
- Brandon Belt is already good, but for some reason, it still needs to be pointed out.
- To circle back to why games are so long, Russell A. Carleton tried to figure out how to fix the pace-of-play problem.
