2017 MLB Season Thread

Giants aren't very good
I expect a big drop off
Age, lack of depth will show

Also an odd year.

 

[elcheato]

hahahahaha, piss is a good way to prevent athletes foot

piss will come off with a 10 minute shower, I'm certain of it

An ESPN announcer said he would have brought in a lefty to face Gary Sanchez with the bases loaded because he had poor numbers in 53 at bats against lefties last year
 
baseball is back! 

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Ha, ESPN.

 

[PWNdroia]

Mets are trash and lucky the nl sucks now

Dodgers, cubs and nats will win their divisions

Wild card spots could be any of st louis, giants, mets, possibly pirates, marlins and i have more faith in atlants than Colorado

Colorado lacks pitching, like pretty much every year.

I love jon gray. Hes nasty
But yup

Theyll start well
Then fade like usual

I expect the dodgers to run and hide.

 

[Mexi]

I like outside the box thinking. I like different strategies l like analytics. I like obp

I dont like batting scwarber leadoff its just weird lol
Mainly cause zobrist isn't exactly a slouch at getting on base

I also dont like hendricks as their 5th starter for some reason? Maddon just loves being cute

I just hate him and the cubs. Damn he got lucky last year. Stupid Indians

 

[bosoxlover12]

tbh i hate the interleagued rule that came into place a few years back

it was fun when mid-year Interleague games would happen and you'd see pitchers hitting and all, and now it's just at any point in the year. it's just weird af to see Boston hosting Pittsburgh on opening day

 

[Phil The Thrill]

I agree 100%. I find interleague playing annoying af.

 

[Mexi]

Padres have 3 rule 5 guys on the opening day roster
4 catchers
3 outfielders

And christian bethancourt who is a Catcher/pitcher/OF

 

[Mexi]

Cubs stil #elite

 

[Teagz]

Padres have 3 rule 5 guys on the opening day roster
4 catchers
3 outfielders

And christian bethancourt who is a Catcher/pitcher/OF

They might not win 50 games.

 

[Mexi]

Theyre bad
I look forward to kershaw vs them tomorrow

 

[elcheato]

Lindor is becoming a Trout Fatigue trendy pick for AL MVP. 
 
If Trout doesn't win it though, I imagine it would be Machado this year

 

[Mexi]

Hard to win mvp in last place(orioles)

 

[elcheato]

although all this hype has me nervous. Indians cant possibly be as good as people think 

 

[Mexi]

As an outsider they're pretty dang good to me

Should run away with the central

Tribe dodgers ws

 

[elcheato]

if it happens you have to promise to go to a game with me 

 

[elcheato]

the doyers don't sell out per narratives, so we should be able to score tickets for a world series game in LA

 

[Mexi]

My nl mvp is seager

But if I had to pick a sleeper pick, i hope giancarlo can stay healthy

Al sleeper: robbie cano
