2016 MLB Season Thread

[JZsportswhiz]

What is it about the cubs that i just dont like?
Bryant is MVP, Rizzo is having a nearly identical offensive season
Lester leads a strong roto and they have chapman and other strikeout relievers

All good.

But zobrist, dexter, addison, heyward, soler, baez

Im just meh. 100 wins and clearly the best team but im just not worried for some reason. I think theyre gonna be beat by someone

No doubt on paper they are the best team. But anything can happen in the playoffs. Reading that big ESPN piece on Theo Epstein last week he said he thinks the Cubs roster has a 1 in 4 chance of winning the WS. Each team in the NL has enough to win it I think, the Cubs have the advantage because of their depth.

Red Sox v. Cubs, and it's essentially a coin flip for me

i definitely think the dodgers could beat them
But obviously the cubs could win in 5 as well

Cubs are good. Really good. Are they 2008 2009 phillies good. We will see

Wilson Ramos acl
Out for the season

Tito did the smart thing and basically said fuck it in terms of getting home field. There are three regulars in the starting lineup tonight, and the rotation to end the season does not include Kluber and they pushed back Bauer.
 
I have never heard of the guy catching tonight. 
 
Basically gift wrapping the Tigers a chance at the wild card tbh.

Thank you for giving us another opportunity to squander. It's very much appreciated.

dodgers did the opposite
Regular lineup tonight(i guess having an off day on hangover day helps)
vs the pads btw
And the last 6 games are maeda, de leon, urias, kershaw, hill, maeda
Or our 5 best

[elcheato]

Who wants to be named after a bird anyway

Marlins tribute to Fernandez was fantastic. Best moment in baseball this year with Dee Gordon's HR

could be one of the best in all sports.

 

[Mexi]

I think im gonna get a jose jersey
Just not sure if i want to wait for a potential memorial patch or just get the regular

And definitely black right?

 

[Pugz]

definitely the black

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Yea definitely the black jersey. I'd wait for a memorial patch, but then again that might sell out asap.
