2019 MLB Season Thread [ARCHIVED] Baseball • Page 294

Braves stupid new penis looking mascot is nowhere to be seen.

 

Yankees gotta start transitioning Andujar to first base. Sadly feels like Bird will never play a full season

 

I think I am most confused by the Diamondbacks’ mascot. Moreso with their (Bobcat?) mascot than some of the nonsense mascots like Philly and Cleveland have anyway.

 

Time for preseason predictions?

 

Lol Greg Bird.

 

Why is it funny that a player got injured?

 

The rumor is he was injured coming into spring training and tried to play through it because of his reputation with injuries. If that's really what happened, he needs to address it like a pro and stop trying to play hurt.

I do feel bad that he keeps getting hurt. But it's like the injury bug comes with his presence in the majors. I wasn't trying to portray the injury as funny. Maybe the "lol" was poor taste, but at some point he needs to play close to a full season. I hope it will be sometime soon because he is an asset to the Yankees when healthy.

I am looking forward to seeing some more of Tyler Austin, though.

Needs more Rangers

 

I'm sure some of you have seen this, but SI has the Nationals beating the Yankees in the WS. Not sure if I buy that.

SI’s World Series pick: Nationals over Yankees

 

The Nationals are just the Capitols of baseball. I will never bet on them to win it. If I'm wrong, I'll live with that.

But in this case if I'm wrong that means the Yankees win so go Nats.

 

I think it's okay to think the Astros won't repeat, I also think the Yankees are gonna have a hard time getting back to where they got last year

 

It's better when they don't pick your team. haha

 

Some sports radio people yesterday were Nashville might get a team, if they did it would open the door to bringing the expos back. Anything to bring youppi back to baseball.

Even though the Cardinals are going to be terrible this year, I'm so here for the misery!

We're so close to baseball season!

 

Looking at these NL ROY predictions like...


I fully expect them to be sub .500, but it's nice to be excited about this team again.

 

My early predication is kershaw won't get a cy young because because of Kershaw Cy Young fatigue.

 

Not saying that Acuna will be bad, but I think Kingery's going to be better than him, for at least this season. It'll be close.

 

Has anyone ever used mlb.tv before? It seems almost too good to be true to be $115 for the entire season, or $90 for just your favorite team.

Are there any catches? I miss living in market!

 

The only thing I can think of is the potential for blackouts when your favorite team plays the team from your market. I honestly don't know too much about it, as I don't use mlb.tv

 

It's solid. Especially if you have an Apple TV or something similar to watch on the big screen.
