Any MLB Fans??

[Blue Bayou]

Anybody a baseball fan in this site?

If so, who's your favorite to win the world series? Any bold predictions??

[Saint]

dont really follow.. I always went for home teams
astros, rangers

[Blue Bayou]

Dope.. Stros are obviously betting favorties again there's so much talent on that team

I think the rangers might be sneaky good if theyre pitching surprises

[Fart]

Definitely not the mariners

Also just got Out of the Park Baseball 20. Best baseball/sim game ever made

Red Sox have a better team than stros

Yanks are loaded....best lineup I have prolly seen in 20 years

My Cubs are winning the ws

Just read about this.. damn, looks interesting

PC only? Is the mobile any good?

[Sharp]

WE GOT HARPER


so we're all in for the next few years... not happy tbh

really woulda thought we'd learn after the Ryan Howard contract blew up so bad but here we are

It's close, I'd say Astros are better.. pen really sways it

Yanks are scary for sure, but I could see them completely choking come plaoffs bcuz they're so strikeout prone

I like the Cubs.. could see it if they stay healthy tbh... Contrares gets 90 RBIs this year

Just ordered my new Harper jersey... He's so diff then Howard, maybe years 9-13 are bad but who knows if 25 Mill aav contract is even that bad in 9 years

[PancakeBrah]

Cubs in 4.

Harper's deal is fine in terms of AAV vs. Expected WAR. The whole point of the Machado/Harper megadeals was their youth. They should produce enough excess value against their salaries in years 1-6ish that the decline in the later years is already accounted for. Harper's the more volatile asset but if he has a couple years like 2015 it's worth the term.

Not that it matters because the Phillies are shit. Kapler is shit. Kingery is a forever bust. Hoskins peaked at 18 or however old he was as a rookie. Arrieta will run out of steroids. Nola is dope though.

Astros are more talented than Boston. NYY are better than Boston. True talent wise Boston is third.

NL Central is going to be a dogfight. I think a healthy Bryant and Darvish and a normal Rizzo season will be enough for the Cubs.

Free Vlad & Eloy.

[Blue Bayou]

Hard agree on the Harper & Machado stuff, 2 years ago I said Harper was gunna get 400+ based on WAR and knowing he was gunna go to free agency with Boras repping him

Hope Vlad heels well and quickly.. o saw him in Buffalo lastyear his bat is so pure


I pick the Nats

[PancakeBrah]

Yeah the Nats will be tough this year. Robles and Soto in the outfield, best pitching staff in the NL, Rendon and Turner. Braves are interesting Acuna year two and maybe some pitching prospects getting called up.

[Blue Bayou]

Yeah especially if Dozier can shake last year and get back to being a 30+/20 guy, even if he does only hit .250

I can't believe they're going to hit Acuna 4th and Donaldson 2nd... It should be the opposite

[Suthaveli]

Still big mad about losing Machado, Schoop & Jonesy yet still having bum ass Davis on the squad.
Pitching was always been our Achilles tho.
We're basically building from scratch again so I'm expecting another last place losing season.

[BodySnatcher]

If Trout goes to Philly to match with Harper.......

Duquette is sooo overrated

Love your park tho I was there two or three summers ago.. it that was like 19 inning game against Tampa

W.out a doubt, he's overrated af but owner doesn't like to spend so he can only do but so much in all fairness.
A lot of outsiders like the park, I guess I can see the appeal.
& I was at that Ray's vs O's game, shit lasted til 3 am. I had wrk the next day, I left at 12ish, said fuck that. Smh.
Many of our games against them are tight like that tho.

One bad enough injury in the next few years is all it would take. That's what I mean with the Howard thing

We're not in the state we're we'll be in title for talk til Harper is minimum 30 and that's a stretch. With that money, so many issues could have been addressed this off-season, but instead the one pro sport we care about over the summer just hiked up its ticket price

This just feels like more of a business decision than a baseball decision

Haha yeah we left around 1130, went back to the hotel which was so close and watched from the rooftop patio... I think it was the Hilton that's right there

I guess i see it differently.. Harper is an OBP machine and will RAKE in that park

I mean they traded for arguably the best catcher in baseball

Who cares if Kingery sucks Segura has his job now and his ext wasn't that lucrative

Robertaon is a stud and the pen is solid

They got Cutch on a pretty short term deal

I think the staff might surprise.. wouldn't be shocked if Pivetta breaks the fuck out this year

I dunno I thought they had a great off-season and are a legitimate threat not just 4-5 years from now, but now

[uh-oh]

indians da gods

[Exis]

Cubs look good, I support the Angels & Dodgers though bein' from Cali & all...but chea they ain't gonna do shit.

[PancakeBrah]

Trout looking to sign 12/430

[Blue Bayou]

Trout looking to sign 12/430

He will be what, 29?

[Lenox]

Yankees

[Adonis]

I don't really watch much, but I'm an Angels fan. Love the resigning of trout at any price, I just feel awful were dragging one of the greatest talents of all time through the mud like this. I know the farm system is finally correcting, so maybe in a couple more years we'll compete, but even that is wishful thinking

Yea, Hilton has that view.

[Geno]

Philly fan all the way. Though i have no idea what the phills look like and havnt watched in yeeaarrsss
