I like baseball. I don't like Rob Manfred.

We mourn the passing of Hall of Famer Bobby Cox, the fourth-winningest manager in MLB history.

Cox led the Atlanta Braves to unprecedented success, winning 14 straight division titles from 1991-2005, along with 5 NL pennants and the 1995 World Series championship.

The four-time Manager of the Year won 2,401 games overall, behind only Connie Mack, Tony La Russa, and John McGraw. Of the 13 managers with at least 2,000 career wins, only one (Joe McCarthy) got there in fewer games than Cox.

Cox managed the Braves for 25 seasons in all, leading them to six 100-win seasons and eight 90-win seasons. He also managed the Blue Jays for four years, including the franchise’s first winning record in 1983 and first division title in 1985.

As General Manager of the Braves from 1986-90, Cox laid the foundation for the teams he would manage to success over the next two decades by trading for one future Hall of Famer in John Smoltz, drafting another in Chipper Jones, and helping develop homegrown legend Tom Glavine.

Owner of a .556 winning percentage in 29 total seasons as manager, Cox was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2014.

He was 84 years old.

Ted Turner spent 20 years making sure a kid in Montana could watch the Braves. MLB spent 20 years making sure a kid in Atlanta couldn’t

@MLBNetwork JRAM HOF

[MLB Network @MLBNetwork]

José Ramírez is rapidly approaching the 300 HR (291) and SB (297) milestones in his career!

No primary third baseman has ever reached 300 career HR and SB 👀

[Sarah Langs @SlangsOnSports]

Aaron Judge! Mike Trout!!

This is the 4th game in which 2 multi-time MVPs (at the time of the game) hit multiple home runs each, joining:

June 21, 1956 Roy Campanella and Stan Musial
July 3, 1962 Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle
July 6, 1962 Maris and Mantle

@FoolishBB Crazy that Boone still has a job

[Dan Clark @DanClarkSports]

This is probably the most incredible baseball photo I've ever seen.

[Foolish Baseball @FoolishBB]

The fact that these are all legitimate robberies and not just nice catches near the wall is special. One of the most stylish ways to ever win a ballgame.

[Brandon Braswell @RancheroGT1973]

April Fools Day posts are dumb and lame.

[MLB @MLB]

Chase DeLauter is the second player in MLB HISTORY to hit 4 HR in his first 3 career games 🤯

[Cy Young @DentonCyYoung]

One season of healthy Mike Trout, please.

[MLB @MLB]

Kevin McGonigle is just the 6th player since 1900 to tally 4 hits in his MLB debut on #OpeningDay!

[Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN]

If the Pirates make the playoffs, the narrative starts with that Lowe homer.

[Joel Embiid @JoelEmbiid]

Cruz, get ready to learn DH buddy!!

[Cy Young @DentonCyYoung]

Tough outing for Skenes...

[Emily Nyman @EmSheDoesIt]

netflix was really like "what if we did everything that baseball fans really hate in a broadcast?"

[Cy Young @DentonCyYoung]

It's literally #OpeningDay why are all teams not playing? What are we doing here?

[delaney @blairbarely]

Netflix knows what baseball fans want and its to not be able to see the balls and strikes, the names of the players, or the pitch count

[CJ @CJNitkowski]

Called me old fashioned, but when I’m watching a baseball game I like watching, and hearing about, the baseball game.

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

Opening Day is the best day. Because it means seven straight months of real, meaningful baseball. And that's something for everyone to celebrate.
