Yeah, what a fucking mess. Hard to say a team is done after a month but, wow, what a hole they'd have to dig out of. Cliche'd/obvious as it is to say, though, that's still one of the big draws of sports....you just never fucking know how things will go down. There are always 4-5 teams that surprise you one way or the other.
I'd like to say that I hope they bounce back, Elfa, but that would be a lie.
16 teams have a lower payroll than the Yankees disabled list.
Felix Hernandez is awesome and the Mariners are showing signs of life.
Miguel Cabrera knows how to swing a baseball bat at a baseball.
I hope the Royals and Pirates play this well all season.
Teams really need to stop bunting with a man on first and no out unless the pitcher is up. Just stop it.
Shin-Soo Choo has a .465 OBP. Joey Votto has a .459 OBP. The cat hitting between them, Zack Cozart, is sporting a .240 OBP to complement his .336 Slugging %.
Manny Machado is fun to watch hit and field. Will be interesting to see if they move him back to SS when Hardy is no longer under contract.
I love baseball. And the NBA playoffs. And the NHL playoffs. It's a wonderful spring.
