The 2017 MLB Thread

[ckfree]

I'm all in on the White Sox, pitching been dominant and the hitters starting to heat up. They also beating the teams who were projected to be at the top of the AL with the exception of the Royals who will get theirs on the 20th. The team is solid, if only the Cubs wasn't taking our shine things would be perfect

the more they win the more nervous i get

Astros been a major disappointment so far and the yankees trash the al in general been mediocre

the records might not show it yet but i still have the same feeling as i did coming into the season

the nl has the ebst and worst teams in baseball

while the al has a bunch of parity mediocrity

i expected philly to be one of the worst teams in baseball so im surprised to see them actually winning some games

for the month of april their pitching staff set a mlb record for strikeouts per 9

they got a bevy of talented arms

they gotta cultivate some young bats the nxt couple years though

I was low key hopin the cubs would discipline(bean) rodriguez from the pirates for his antics in the wc game last year

But continuing to son the pirates in pittsburgh while setting historic run differential totals that haven't been seen since the early 1900's and the cubs great start that hasn't happened since the last time they won the world series 108 years ago will do.

sean rodriguez with 4 hrs and 14 rbis in like 40 at bats

he had 4 and 17 all of last year

he strikes me as a guy who would take some shit

It's great to look at the scoreboard and see the Royals losing, I want the Sox to have at least a 10 game lead on them before the month is over

baez might be the best defensive 2b/3b/ss on the cubs and russell is real good at ss (despite his recent errors)

so if baez is really coming around as a hitter a case could be made that hes the best player on the team

'fowler on the bases yeah we winning pennant races thats a wrigley renovation'

lmao

he paying attention

I BEEN sayin this.Baez has a stronger arm than russell and more range I never understood why russell was handed the ss job(of course over castro but baez is equally as good),baez keep playing like he should be getting more starts at 3b and 2b I'm glad he's taking advantage of his limited opportunities

he makes it look liek magic

baez hasnt turned into the hr hitter i thought he would be (which in turn has probably helped his average) but hes still a really fun player to watch -- i just get the feeling that theo is glad he remained patient with him because it really felt like javy could have been had for the low last year

the one im starting to wonder about though is soler

hes streaky as fuck

the white sox and nats have been unbelievably hot

but they arent doing it like this

the cubs are absolutely destroying teams

washington just completed a 6 game swing through missouri going 5-1 against kc and stl

now they head to wrigley for a 4 game set with the cubs

this should be good

 

[ckfree]

if it play out like the nl central last year and the mets and nats both finish the season with a better record than the winner of the nl west

then the runner up of the nl east will have to play the runner up of the nl central in a 1 game playoff

its gonna be hilarious if its the pirates for the 3rd straight year and they have to face syndergaard in the 1 gamer after they had to face bumgarner and arrieta the 2 years before

man

 

[Chi-Town Bully]

Danks replacement ain't shit either, who's next up

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

Shouts to zobrist, his discipline in the box and contact ability is exactly what this team needed

 

[King_MOEbra]

6 straight wins over the Tigress. That mighty offense of theirs......................WHAT ARE THOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE??????

 

[King_MOEbra]

Rockies are lighting the Giants UP!

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

Braves about to be just like the cubs in 2017 they have some real good position players all in double and triple a

Swanson,algiers,ruiz and they have some good young pitchers too

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

Garret richards needs tommy john and the angels 2nd best pitcher might need it too.
