2016 MLB thread. THE CUBS HAVE BROKEN THE CURSE! Chicago Cubs are your 2016 World Series champions

You a Nationals fan who started following baseball two years ago though...

Bryce Harper is going to be MVP this year, Strasuburg is the next Nolan Ryan, Nationals are your WS favorites...Keep it up cause none of that **** aint never going to happen. Loser DC sports fans just need something to hype in that burning trash pile of a sports town.

Throw shade on Bryce Harper and we got problems.

Harper won't be MVP because Kris Bryant has that award locked up

I actually expect a big year out of Bryce on the real.

6 years ago

So again shut the **** up


Nats were trash when I made a conscious decision to start pulling for them....watched the Braves all my life before then so I followed baseball but didn't watch it enough to pretend to be a MLB Stan like some folks *cough*


Edit: for someone who follows me on this here internet you sure do a poor job of being accurate

My preseason MVP pick.

idk if he'll drive in enough runs with how some of his teammates are hitting/getting on base, but he should post very good power numbers.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

what an awesome job by these 2 starters in this reds cards game. is this the quickest game of the season?

nice job using small ball to take the lead

If you're getting into sabermetircs, you have get rid of the belief that RBIs mean something.

i understand what you're saying, but if he goes 30 and 70 there's no way he can be MVP, can he?

30 and 70

 

[jewbacca2]

I'm curious what the lowest RBI total for 30+ HR season is

 

[awwsome]

I think the Mets are legit

Travis/Duda/Cuddyer/Harvey.

 

[shirt1995]

I'm with my dude Amp with this one. This is feeling really eerie right now. It may or not be our year this year, but we're making a pennant run in the next 3 years if everyone stays healthy.

if this is your qualification then you might as well not say anything at all

 

[jewbacca2]

Travis/Duda/Cuddyer/Harvey.

Colon*

 

[johnnyredstorm]

he's got 4 and 7 already his OBP and OPS are awesome though.

qualification? no, that's the only thing that can stop this pitching staff from going to the world series.

Fatboy.

Game went by fast af

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Soriano, Grandy and Hanley wow I remember that Soriano season now that you posted that.

Cardinals love the way Matt Carpenter plays. Such a good blue collar hitter.

just like RBs in football, except for the absolute ELITE pitchers are damn near disposable, you have 1 who most likely is (harvey if he can stay on the mound) and a bunch of currently 3-5 guys a couple who MIGHT end up being better than that, but are just as likely to amount to nothing, and still have very little reliable hitting and about half of that is aging

 

[johnnyredstorm]

deGrom is as legit of a number 2 as you're going to get in baseball b

Colon is a professional no. 3

moving forward if Syndergaard becomes who he can be, that's a guy with 1A potential. Matz has great stuff. bigger picture, this team potentially can field one of the best staffs in baseball for the foreseeable future.

this year, a healthy 1-2-3 of harvey, degrom and colon is good enough to go toe to toe with anyone. if niese is just solid enough and we can good situational hitting, making the playoffs and making some noise is doable.

Fort Bend ISD breeds winners

I don't like hyping your state but this dude plays winning baseball.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

seeing the replay of the royals shenanigans herrera was bush-league man. love this team but this isn't what's made them successful. you made your point initially, move on.

lawrie's right. herrera needs to be fined and suspended.

You don't have to hype the state, just hype the success factory
