Inviata - 13/07/2022 : 05:40:52 The end of the Super Bowl means the beginning of the most exciting time of the year, the countdown to pitchers and catchers reporting to spring training. This is the time when everyone gets in on the fun of watching the calendar and staring at that magical square with the big red P&C scrawled inside. Everyone? Yes, everyone. The full spectrum. From talk show host Larry King to talk show host Montel Williams, everyone is talking about to spring training! I love February because pitchers and catchers report in two weeks. Larry King (@kingsthings) The best part of the Super Bowl is le s than 3 weeks till pitchers and catchers report Montel Williams (@Montel_Williams) Two weeks? Three weeks? Somewhere in between? The answer actually does vary from team to team. For those lucky sons of guns who are fans of the Giants, Indians, Phillies, Pirates and Reds, the wait is nice and short, because pitchers and catchers report on Feb. 18. https://www.chibearsedge.com/chicago-bears-women-jersey Woe unto the fans of the Blue Jays and Twins, whose pitchers and catchers can come waltzing into camp on Feb. 22, an agonizing four days of waiting after the initial wave of pitchers and catchers reporting. Heres the really bad news, though: its a scam. Pitchers and catchers reporting is a great big scam perpetrated upon you, the baseball-loving public, by Larry King, Montel Williams, and, yes, us here at Sporting News. Now that that's over, here's what really matters ... pitchers and catchers report in 17 days! Sporting News MLB (@SN_Baseball) Its sickening, its horrifying, and its time to put an end to it. Oh boy! you might say when you hear how little time there is until pitchers and catchers report to spring training. Its only a little while longer until pitchers and catchers report! Spring is right around the corner! No, its not. Spring is a long way away. To be exact, spring begins on March 20. That, however, is not why pitchers and catchers reporting to spring training is a great big scam. Do you know what happens when pitchers and catchers report to spring training? Do you remember what happened last year when pitchers and catchers reported to spring training? Clearly not, or you would not be excited right now. Pitchers and catchers report to spring training, joining https://www.chibearsedge.com/kindle-vildor-jerseys players who have shown up at the spring training facility before they are required to do so, and they all do some baseball-like things that arent really baseball. Theres enough that happens so that stock footage can be acquired for a local news report of le s than two minutes, and the lucky local news reporter sent to warmer climes gets to gloat about it in his polo shirt, do a couple of smiley interviews, and call it a day. Thats it. Seriously, last year. They dont even wear jerseys. This is not the return of baseball. For those critics who would say to stop being https://www.chibearsedge.com/anthony-miller-jerseys such a Debbie Downer, and be glad that a hint of baseball is better than no baseball at all, well, phooey, because even Major League Baseball tacitly acknowledges that pitchers and catchers reporting is a big bag of nothing, and not even worth talking about. Here is what MLBs public relations department posted to Twitter on Monday morning: a list, not of when each teams pitchers and catchers report to spring training, but when each team holds its first workout. first workout dates for each club: MLB Public Relations (@MLB_PR) Even then, its just workouts, and if youre a fan of workouts, you can go work out yourself. If youre a fan of baseball, what you want to see and what makes it really feel like spring is near, even when its still 20 degrees outside is... hang on, because this is a twist youll never see coming actual baseball. The real countdown, then, is to March 1, the first day of major leaguers in action on the diamond in game conditions. The only game that day is the Phillies against the University of Tampa? Are you just trying to torture us, baseball? We wait through November, December, January, and the dumbest month of all, February, and what we get on March 1 is one solitary exhibition game between the Phillies and the University of Tampa? These mocks of the fans have to stop. Wait, whats this? March 2 lists Tigers vs. Mocs? Thats the Florida Southern Mocs, not the Tenne see-Chattanooga Mocs, for the record. Also, the Marlins play Florida International that day. Actual games featuring Major League Baseball players facing Major League Baseball players, with prospects coming in after three innings, begin on March 3. That, and not the big tease of pitchers and catchers reporting, is the day that should get the countdowns. Dont let February have any of the glory. The longest month of the year, masquerading as the shortest month https://www.chibearsedge.com/mike-ditka-jerseys of the year, does not exist to bring you baseball. It exists to bring you an interminable wait for baseball. The false hope of counting down to pitchers and catchers, then getting bupkis when you get to zero, should not be celebrated. Is it March yet?
