Hey, y’all! It’s almost Opening Day! We here at DRaysBay would like to take a moment to remind you that Opening Day (which would be a national holiday if there were any justice in world) should always be capitalized in your tweets and Facebook posts. And if it’s appropriate, OPENING DAY it.
So let’s hop around the Baseball Twitter and see how everybody is getting ready:
The pretend games are over.
We've run out of exhibition baseball to play.

Tim Kurkjian has you all set to win your Opening Day trivia night, and a former Ray shout out:
George Bell (1988), Tuffy Rhodes (1994) and Dmitri Young (2005) are the only players to hit three HRS on Opening Day. Rhodes entered that game with five career HRS, hit three off Dwight Gooden that day, and finished his major league career with 13 HRS. #odetoopeningday

If MLB had a talent show, @Brewers Stephen Vogt would win. Opening Day 2017, he beautifully sang bars from 3 Disney sings, including The Little Mermaid. We ran that video before his 1st AB. Then he hit a HR. From Ariel to aerial. From Under The Sea to over the fence. #OpeningDay

And some loser with, like, 69 followers is trying to decide whether he should take the day off:
If I'm genuinely conflicted about whether I should take off for Opening Day tomorrow, the answer is "of course, you idiot, it's Opening Day!" Correct? #OpeningDay #RaysUp
