MLB 2016 Regular Season Official Thread - Do Not Attempt to Ketchup

Seager is gonna quietly be a 6 win player again this year, and yet his brother might be better.

Baseball everybody!

I feel like baseball had a lull a few years back where a lot of the exciting players were at the tail ends of their careers,
the Mets sucked
and there was a lack of 'excitement'.

The fun is back in a big way.

He is almost always slower at the beginning of the season. It usually doesn't matter though.

And he hasn't thrown 94 in a long while.

Not saying he should be hitting 94 like it's 2008.

But he sat at 91-92 last year, and, more worrying, his change isn't getting late bite to it to barrel under guys.
 
Reynolds is a super UTL infielder, Carpio and Ramos are non-starters, Rivera is another UTL guy, Rosario is 3 years away, Dilson is a pure 2B who can spot at short a game or two but not sit there.

Fernandez would immediately help the team, is the point I think he was trying to make. We have a glut of MIF in the minors but none of them are immediate assets at short.

that's nice and all, but team management is shy to pony up for a reliever to replace Mejia, do you honestly think they're gonna bite for player who last played professional baseball since 2014?

And what happens to Cabrera..... I suppose De Aza needs somebody to play poker with.

So glad to hear the Mariners already up 2-0. Hope they hold on and add some more runs. That was the great part of Spring, seeing all the late inning runs the Mariners would tack on.

Go Mariners! Felix is throwing strange today, but with home runs from Cano and Seager already, things are looking decent thus far.

Excited for the team this year. Just be better than last year, is all I ask. No more Fernando Rodney at least, so I won't have anymore heart attacks this summer.

bleh, just launched mlb.tv and got a notice that the old media player won't be available after may 1st, which sucks because the current media player is absolute garbage :/

guess I might just watch on my ps4 instead given how bad the current PC player is :/

Wait what? That's fucking horse shit, the new player stutters and freezes constantly, there are no buttons, and you can't even pop-out, it's such a downgrade it's not even funny.

Damn, watching Leonys Martin has made me realize just how much I've missed having a competent CFer.

When Freddie Freeman hit his solo home run, Chip Carey referred to hit as a two-run homer.

Chip already in mid-season form :lol
