MLB 2016 Thread

I'm not supposed to panic yet, right? Being a favorite is something I haven't had to worry about in about a decade.

It's a legitimate problem that an explosive but inconsistent offense allowed their most consistent offensive contributor to go to a division rival. They're going to need to win a lot of games 2-1 like they did today.

Matt Harvey's early struggles are disconcerting as well, but I think he'll be OK.

The Phillies' 2016 rotation is so, so, so much more fun than the 2015 rotation.

Murph giveth, Murph taketh away.

He had an amazing fall. He was not worth that money.

Harvey is a real concern. Warthen thinks he found something in his delivery from the stretch that was off, so hopefully that's the issue.

Syndergaard tho

We can't hit for shit and still have 10 wins already. I like Chris Sale a lot.

Wow. Big loss for the Rangers. RIP Prince.

Well if it was a joke... just a tad too soon, yeah?

also a tad too unfunny regardless of timing.

Hey Bobsaget, last time I checked, Prince Fielder was alive.

Bryce Harper, you are ridiculous!

Easy come, easy go.

We got a AA prospect with a back-of-the-rotation ceiling for Papelbon and it was still the greatest trade in Philly sports history.

I just watched HBO Real Sports. They had a segment about fans getting hit with foul balls. Maybe MLB should finally bite the bullet and extend the netting down the foul lines. If you have HBO, I'd suggest checking out the segment. Scary stuff.

Yea I mean I've sat directly behind home plate at CitiField a few times and the betting is so thin you barwly notice it's there. They could at least so it up towards first and third... I don't know about the entire foul territory though.

Bonds hadn't reached the unit of his coaching curriculum that keeps a guy from getting caught until irrelevancy sets in.

Ugh. Not Dee :/

Yeah, they could at least try to experiment with an extension towards or past the dugouts. Some of the worst carnage was up the baselines, though.

Conley/Urena no-hitter done in the 9th on a Lucroy single

The 15-10 Philadelphia Phillies.

The 15-10 Philadelphia Phillies.

it seems very odd to read that every time.

I was just a few rows off the field for Friday's game and got to see Ryan Howard re-live the glory years.

 

[MrPryck2U]

Looks like there's still some fire in the BoSox/Yankees rivalry. Probably the biggest win for the Yankees this season. Plus, Farrell and Papi get ejected for arguing some questionable strikes at the end. Good times.

 

[phanan]

Questionable is an understatement. That second to last pitch to Ortiz was almost in the dirt.

He had a right to be pissed.

The over-500 Miami Marlins.

That just happened #BigSexy
