Way to ruin everybody’s beautiful, innocent baseball fun, Cincinnati.
Baseball’s big Opening Day plans are ruined because of the Reds and bad weather. But mostly the Reds.
Dang it, Cincinnati.

Baseball was planning on having 15 Opening Day games for the first time ever on Thursday — all 30 teams in action on one day instead of the usual staggered shenanigans — but now there will only be 14 games total thanks to the Reds’ postponement of their game against the Nationals.
It would’ve been the first time since 1968 every team opened the season on the same date, but, alas, it was not to be.
This is definitely all the Reds’ fault. Not bad luck or weather or the ever-lurking dread of planet-wide climate change. It’s all on Cincinnati. There was a perfect slate of beautiful baseball happening and now there isn’t and that’s just rude. Rude!
Opening Day is exciting for exactly one thing: baseball being back. The games themselves aren’t actually that important and in two weeks we’ll all forget how excited we were for baseball to be back because there’s already been so many games. This was a chance at perfection, another level of excitement on top of baseball being back in our lives.
Dang Reds had to go and get scared off by a little bit of “impending inclement weather.” Lame.
