2016 MLB Season Thread

[AustinIllini]

Chicago baseball is 11-3 to start the season.

As a Dodger fan, the bullpen is going to be the death of me ... Again. Of the 4 losses, the bullpen has lost 3, each due to a failure to hold.

Sox looked strong in Toronto as the bats were hot.

I am still concerned about rotation depth after Price as Buchholz can't be trusted for a full season.

They should have stayed in Toronto. Baltimore is a buzz saw right now.

22-6

22-6

24-6 would be .800
I'm not sure I've ever seen that before, after the first of May. (Obviously, 12-3 gets you there too.)
On pace right now to break the all time wins and best percentage records, both held by the 1906 Cubs (tied with Seattle [2001] for most wins). But, it's a long season.

I don't get the feeling Joe Madden cares much for breaking wins records. I think they'll be taking it day to day.

Reinforcements for the Mets are on the way, Zack Wheeler will be pitching in July. Confirmed.

Pagan on the DL. calling up Jarrett Parker.

 

[MacNut]

The Yankees look to be turning a corner, as long as they don't take a u-turn.

We didn't get him and he moved down south. At least he's not pitching against us in our division for San Diego or Arizona. The guy is back up to 92 mph when he won his Cy Youngs. Watch out!

How about that fight between the Blue Jays and Texans......

Odor got suspended for 8 games. Should have been 10-15 in my opinion. Odor is a piece of crap. He complains about Bautista's slide, yet check out a couple of his slides which were way worse than anything Bautista did.

Texans reliever Bush seems to have escaped punishment for intentionally hitting Bautista.

Fredi Gonzalez out with the Braves
This move is more about quieting some of the noise around the horrific start
But nobody wins with their current lineup
If the prospects they amassed deliver in 2017-2018 then Coppy/Hart are geniuses
If not, all hell breaks loose in the organization regardless of the new stadium

 

[Centaurr]

odor should have been suspended for the rest of the season. that slide was not bad at all, ive seen much worse...i never did like the rangers

BRAVES fire Fredi González !! Bye, see ya!! now maybe we can save the season

The Braves have more problems than the manager.

Yeah, that worked for the Brewers last season.

I wouldn't say the rest of the season, but certainly a suspension in the double digits (10 more likely). He should count his blessings and his cartilage that wasn't Chase Utley bowling him over. Seems like everyone in Texas short of Adrian Beltre wanted to pop Jose.

That being said, that really was one hell of a punch. Bet Nolan Ryan was proud.

 

[pachyderm]

lol. i bet he was!
