Tim Kurkjian calls for MLB Opening Day to be same for every team

"I think it's always right that all the teams play the first day."

"I still think there's some moments where I'm trying to figure out the next steps, but I love the sport."

The league will control local broadcasts for at least 13 teams this season.

The Cincinnati Reds, Kansas City Royals, and Milwaukee Brewers will all remain on FanDuel Sports Network next season.

"They're going to have the Dodgers probably in the NLCS by then."

The Reds were already facing an uphill battle against the Dodgers, it would be impossible with them tipping their pitches.

The postseason begins on Tuesday.

"Strike???!! What??!"

"You can jinx a no-hitter from a thousand miles away."

""You don't see his name out there so much because he's not playing in a big market."

The MLB Speedway Classic was supposed to be a spectacle, but a rain delay and logistical problems turned it into a nightmare for fans.

A messy end to a messy night.

"Zero reason for broadcasts not to do more of this."

"U can’t be serious all you baseball wackos blaming me for Nick Martinez losing his no hitter"

"Jazz Chisholm just got thrown out, and really, he has nobody to blame but himself."

Yikes.

"Gleyber Torres does get on base, but does not hit for a lot of power."

"...now they come out and they announce in grand fashion that they have lifted the suspension."

"Greg Hoard was a great writer. He was also a great human."

"The commissioner was respectful, gracious, and actively participated in productive discussions …"

"Second chances are a good thing, and Brennaman is deserving of the one he got."

The agreement is just one year in length, and the Reds still plan to commit to MLB Media long-term.

The franchise will be the seventh team under the league's broadcast umbrella.

Included in Diamond's reorganization plan are go-forward arrangements with the Los Angeles Angels, Tampa Bay Rays, and Detroit Tigers.
