It is particularly odd especially since it's head-to-head with Sweet Sixteen today. Baseball could have owned U.S. sports yesterday. I know a two-game series is not an ideal way to start a season, nor is a five-day trip to a city, but like you said, Figure it out.
Of course, another option would have been to start the regular season this Monday, and play a small handful of regularly scheduled double headers throughout the season to make up the gap. But I'm a dinosaur and should give up any hope of ever again seeing a baseball staple from my youth.

I literally had no idea Opening Day was tomorrow. MLB has been destroying its own popularity for years
