Chris Woodward made a controversial decision in sitting Shin-Soo Choo on Opening Day. Kevin Sherrington says he is quite different from his predecessor.

Elvis Andrus used “Baby Shark” as his walkup music, and then went 3 for 4 with a homer, so get used to “Baby Shark.” Gerry Fraley thinks Elvis could be back to hitting with power this year.
