2017 MLB Season Thread

[elcheato]

yea, the Red Sox are making the playoffs

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Maybe the anti jinx works

If the Rockies play into it, it's a blessing in disguise.
I'm surprised at the Rockies, but I think maybe they could hold up all season. Just maybe. Even if they dont, they'll still give the Dodgers a run for their money, along with the Diamondbacks.

dbacks have no shot

Rockies do have a shot at the wild card maybe

Im just not sure about that rotation for a full season. Youngest in mlb
Can it hold up at coors for a full year? Man i just dont know

 

[Teagz]

Every time James McCann starts and Alex Avila sits against a RHP I die a little inside.

 

[PWNdroia]

 
I concur. Don't see us in the playoffs

They could still make it, but I don't see us getting past the first or second round.

Rotation isn't everything... Look at the Orioles.  They get in because of what they do in the bullpen.

Everybody on this forum believes the Orioles have been a fluke for the past five years so that take is falling on deaf ears

You're probably right.  The point is though, they win with a lot of unexpected players.  They beat you in ways you wouldn't expect.  Statistically, a lot of teams are better than the Orioles, yet, the Orioles win by grinding out games.  They have a bunch of low average homerun hitters who hit homeruns at the right times.  They don't have a flashy rotation, but they get the job done and their bullpen can be very lethal.  
 
I was one who never claims the O's will be good at the beginning of the season, but I see them play and win games and realize every year I'm wrong.

If only other people could catch on

 

[snipezo]

Anything's possible with a high powered offense and an elite bullpen, I guess.

 

[PWNdroia]

Red Sux keep sucking... what else is new.  I wish I coud blame it all on Rick Porcello, but there's no offense at all, so it's not all his fault.

 

[Mexi]

Cody Bellinger is what dreams are made of

Worked pretty well for the Royals. They didn't even have a high powered offense. Just a team that put the ball in play, played elite defense, and had an elite pen

I'm all for moms, but these mothers day uniforms are so ugly. They should just do pink accessories like the NFL does.

 

[Mexi]

Dodgers arent wearing the mothers day hats
Regular blue hats

 

[.infamous]

The dodgers hate women! Ban them!

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Insensitive

 

[PWNdroia]

Chris Sale and Craig Kimbrel are the best two players on this team right now.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Other than mookie betts

 

[BrewCrewFan]

Brewers offense is legit

2nd in runs scored
1st in HR's
3rd in SB

All without Braun pretty much the last two weeks
