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

Watching the Twins stomp the imploding Tigers on TV and the Mariners opening it up against Boston on my computer.

This is fun!

Cespedes is awesome bros

Throws a guy out by a mile, then comes up and rips a triple

 

[Hahahaha]

I look forward to Cespedes leaving that dump after the 2015 season

He'd probably would be the only Yankee id ever root for

 

[651akathepaul]

Mariners.

 

[threeoneoh]

Gotta love those two inning outings from Lincecum

 

[champcruthik]

My mind is always blown by guys like Colby Rasmus. All the physical tools in the world but just can't piece it together.

I'm with you. Makes no sense.

Physical tools don't matter if you don't have the vision/hand eye quordination.

I've seen 90 MPH fastball go right down the middle and he will completely whiff.


he's not useless, he's just terrible to watch.

He's like cespedes without all the entertainment value.

Mike Olt may one day fall into the same category. Hope that's a fair comparison.

 

[trueprada]

Got 2 of the best Sunday Home Pitchers in all of baseball on the mound tonight ..

Max is 1st at 9-0 but on road

Strasburg 8-0

Capuano 6-1

Chris Sale hasn't given up an RBI to a Left-Hander in over a year wow

 

[madj55]

Terrible fastball control from Strasburg.

 

[mr marcus]

I don't care how good his home record is, Strasburg will never be elite

He's either good or BAD....like there's no inbetween with this dude


Maybe I'm overreacting in the moment, idk.

 

[thekidgriffey24]

He was way overhyped. People act like top prospects can't be busts nowadays. With that said I would take him over Lincecum. That guy is just in shambles.

Why did Jake Peavy get tossed?

 

[madj55]

Okay, Nats.

 

[trueprada]

leggo J Up

damb 

 

[proshares]

Olt, his twin Moustakas and Rasmus are all in that useless as dog **** category.

 

[blackboyfly]

Wow, the Nats are on fire First game I've watched this week and it's a beauty

 

[a55a5in11]

Love these Mariners

 

[mr marcus]

Nice comeback

With the offense looking like this we can beat anybody

 

[bronconation24]

I remember the days when Bruce Harper was "better" than trout lmao

 

[fullcourtpress]

Hitting up the O's game tonight, work gave me the corporate seats. Hopefully they can turn this mini slump around.

 

[uncalled4boy]

Kid Cant Stay On The Field. Equally As Talented, Just Forever DL'd.

 

[PRIME]

Okay, Nats.

Nats rollin' right now...

"You already know what the business is"

Let's see how they do this weekend vs. the Giants....

@JJs07  Nats won 2 out of 3 games versus the Giants, thus winning the series with a blowout come from behind victory yesterday.  Looks like a good weekend to me champ.
