Kolek planning to go pro
Guessin'...Astros Win the AL West, again. The As dismantled/dropped back, Rangers got better and Angels...will be the Angels. Seattle will be hard to call...but clearly near the top w/us.Going into opening days there a just a few Astro story lines;;Will Justin Verlander return from TJohn surgery to dominance?Not likely as history shows it takes more time...maybe he does late in the yearWill Lance McCullers return from the gruesome forearm injury suffered in the ALCS?Well yes but dont rush...All Star time is what we should hope forWill R SSJeremy Pena coming up maybe a year early perform ok and have Houston thinking it will be survivable to let Correa go for the big bucks/ Twins ?Maybe...Pena's 2022 spring line is : .389/.421/.778 through 19 plate appearances. He slashed .287/.346/.598 with 10 homers and five steals in just 30 Triple-A games last year. First time through the league will tell a lot. The rest of last years WSeries team returns...Tucker will be one to watch, as he and Yordan Alvarez are heading into their big$$ contract years (also Why Correa couldve never gotten $35mil/Year here... we needed it for these two, in the longer run)
Would you trade Yadier Molina for Juan Soto?
I think Seattle ends up trading for Soto.
Goldschmidt & Arenado aren’t vax’d, can’t go to Toronto this week.It’d be really funny if those two games cost the Cardinals a playoff spot.
The ban is stupid. Why is MLB allowing the Blue Jays to play against reserves and minor league players? How many games will Toronto win because the other team was short handed? If Canada wants to act like it’s April 2020, fine - but assuming that they give a sh!t about the integrity, MLB should force the Blue Jays to play their home games at venues that don’t discriminate based on vaccination status.
I'm gonna just squeeze in a brief comment on the actual baseball season here.1 weekend into the second half.I think the AL Central is Sox vs Twins.Did not realize how soft the Sox schedule is for most of the remainder of the year. They could make up the 4 games fast.
Your logic sounds good, but the Sox have a losing record against teams with a losing record. Plus they will be without Robert for a while and Eloy plays about as often as Buxton.
Twins are cooked if they are gonna keep starting Archer and Bundy and using relievers like Cotton.Just bad baseball players.
I only watched the first inning but I was shocked by how pedestrian Archer’s stuff was. You could see Rowdy’s HR coming.
Its SHOCKING how bad he's been since leaving Tampa. He was a really solid pitching with great stuff at times and he just imploded.
Agreed. I'm normally pessimistic about the Brewers offense on a given day, but after the first two batters of the day I thought to myself "they are going to score a lot of runs today". Sure enough....Never have been a huge Archer fan and was happy the Brewers didn't get him in 2018, but I'd be lying if I said I saw this coming.
Do y’all think the Sox players know how bad their manager is?
Sneaky big series out west starts tomorrow with a really struggling Toronto team visiting a surging Seattle Mariners team in a 4 game set. Blue Jays hold last wild card spot, with Seattle 4 back. Mariners this morning we’re +340 to make the playoffs.Mariners last 20 games of the season:4 @ Angels3 @ A’s3 @ Royals3 vs Rangers3 vs A’s4 vs Tigers
Mariners trade for Luis Castillo.
