We Are Back! Opening Day is here, and so is the best Black baseball highlights and news recap in the game. From now until the final pitch of the World Series, Cheats and the BBM crew will be providing recaps and breaking news every day. Before we get too far, please consider a paid subscription to this platform. It's the best way to support the Mixtape and keep the community growing.As of this morning, twelve MLB regular-season games have been played, and we've learned a few things. The Dodgers are on pace to go 162-0 (again). The quest for a three-peat is on. And Dodgers' skipper Dave Roberts says the 2026 team is his best roster. It's hard to think Mookie Betts is on a revenge tour, but the 2025 Gold Glove finalist is hoping to bounce back from a down year. He is fully recovered from a stomach virus that really hampered the start of his 2025 season. He went 1-4 last night in a game shown on NBC, called by the legend Bob Costas.The Nats surprised the Cubs, beating them 10-4. The story of the game will center on CJ Abrams. The 2024 All-Star crushed a bases-loaded sure double, but got thrown out as he thought the ball was a sure home run, and it was not. He got thrown out at second, and that is really a microcosm of Abrams right now. Let's hope ‘26 brings more on-field maturity, because I think he is going to have a breakthrough year.Victor Scott II stole two bases in the Cards come-from-behind victory against the Rays. Mike Trout hit his fifth Opening Day homer to lead the Angels over the Astros. Tarik Skubal struck out six Padres in six innings for the Tigers 8-2 win. The Yankees, Mets, Phillies, Brewers, Red Sox, Guardians, and even the O's also picked up impressive Opening Day wins.And Tommy Pham signed a minor league contract with the Mets.See you tomorrow.
