The Mets pitching staff gives me fucking nightmares. So disgusting that they developed/traded for pitchers of that caliber while simultaneously spending way less than they should because the Wilpons were dumb enough to sink all of their money into Bernie Madoff.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #4 on:** February 15, 2016, 06:51:23 PM »

Not pictured: The 95-mph-throwing lefty.

I can't believe the Wilpons actually coughed up money for Cespedes.

The good news for Braves fans is that in 2018 we can probably finish in 2nd behind you guys. If we can just keep trading with the Dbacks a couple times a year, we may even win the division someday

This is the year Marlins finish over .500!

pls don't get hurt Jose, Giancarlo

Yay!

Another year of Cleveland having a great pitching staff complimented by 2/3'a of the had beens.

I look forward to our typical June swoon and an 81-81 record.

Opening day in Cleveland is supposed to be 40 degrees with a wind chill in the teens. You'd have to pay me 500 dollars to sit in that and watch a ballgame.

I am literally a fair weather fan.

Every year too. It's either snowing or raining or foggy. Why can't MLB just get their shot together and schedule southern and western teams to open at home? Christ.

Wonder when MLB is gonna figure this shit out... they've got 2 teams in Florida, one in Atlanta, two in Texas, 1 in AZ, 4 in CA, and some in domes elsewhere. (Toronto at least off the top of my head)

There should be no reason to open the season in places where it's ass cold like this other than tradition or stupidity, but here we are, the same place we are at the beginning of every season. DERP.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #24 on:** April 04, 2016, 05:07:50 PM »

70 degrees in Seattle today.

My wife remembers going to opening day at Yankee Stadium when she was a teenager. Dimaggio threw out the first pitch and it snowed.

Gotta feel bad for dudes who take the day off work only to deal with a delayed game. It's supposed to snow here on Friday or Saturday, and the Tigers' opener is on Friday. smh

Anyway I was telling Cajole...I watched a lot of KC/NY game last night and don't even remember why. I was drinking bourbon.

Braves rallied to take the lead on a walked in run in the bottom of the 8th, promptly coughed it back up in the top of the 9th, then lost in the 10th.

Gonna be a long season of this bullshit.

I took the Braves under 67.5 wins in my office pool. That's how bad they are.

The Padres haven't scored a run yet.

vas_a_morir · « **Reply #36 on:** April 07, 2016, 10:41:01 PM »

I didn't think the Reds would win a single series all season. Much less with the entire starting rotation on the DL. All I can say is... the Phillies must really really suck.

Arrieta is the best pitcher in the league right now.

Kershaw might be the goat of the modern generations but he even hasn't hit this level. Damn.

Jesus Christ dude......that's lower than Felix Fermin and I never saw him hit a ball in the air that actually cleared the edge of the infield.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #51 on:** April 22, 2016, 03:13:21 PM »

I honestly think they could replace everything but RF and 1B with whoever is ready in the minors and our offense would be better. Well, CF isn't fair because Inciarte was doing alright but got hurt like 5 games into the season.

But yeah. We're gonna be potentially historically awful this season.

Am_I_Anonymous · « **Reply #52 on:** April 29, 2016, 03:59:35 PM »

Freeman hit a dinger today. That gives him 60% of the Braves homers, also he's scored 65% and drove in 55% of their runs. Dat MVP

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #58 on:** May 13, 2016, 10:19:01 AM »

I think we'll be marginally better than that, but we're still gonna lose 100 games.

The real question is, when do we bring up our offensive prospects? (Dansby, Albies, Rio Ruiz) They have a chance to make an actual impact and improve the team.

If it were me, I'd fire Fredi Gonzalez at the all star break, then bring those guys up to get a couple months of seasoning under a non idiot manager.
