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

[nick.]

my fantasy team is struggling, need Rendon & Wright to come back & save me

I'm prob gonna go 1-2 w the L this week thanks to Waino's injury, Sale's nd and Greene, Dickey, DeGrom getting bombed. Gerrit Cole did his thing tho.

 

[mr marcus]

Damn, Wain is done for the year. Achilles

 figured that's what it was ....just crazy how easily it tore. Does it give any type of warning sign (like soreness)? I mean dude literally took a step and tore it 

Not too optimistic about this group right now. Offense hasn't been terrible, but it hasn't been good either. The pitching has been disappointing so far considering the expectations. I somewhat agree with the Scherzer signing not being a move we needed to make this offseason, but eventually we were gonna have to shell out a huge contract to a pitcher at some point...so I'm not too upset with it. He's been great so far, the defense and offense have let him down.

I had a hunch Ian was gonna be shaky this year. Contract year for a player who turned down $100M+ and already folds under the pressure anyway? Not a good situation.

Things change quickly in baseball though, so we'll see how the rest of the year plays out.

This is what I keep telling myself. It's not even May but damn things are looking depressing so far

Desmond turned down a 100 mill?

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I never understand that. Like how much more can he expect to make? He's not prime ARod. Hell, he's not even worth 100 mil period.

O's flourishing today.  12 runs so far.

It wasn't them, it was who they were facing

Carried that momentum over from last night's walk-off 

 

[Hahahaha]

Red Sox spent all that money on players that will be hurt and they still have sorry pitching. I love it.

 

[awwsome]

Massacre in Baltimore, on and off the field Jesus. :x


Sox got Delmon Young looking like Ted Williams.

Yep lol

 

[awwsome]

Hanley went ham, too bad it doesn't matter.

It's weird to me how much gap to gap power he has, but his homerun totals are always pretty low. 

 

[jewbacca2]

The A's defense is so bad

Springer is just swinging as hard as he can. Isn't even trying for contact.

******* pathetic. you can't K, taking the swings he did with no outs and runners on second and third.

Even Gattis just put the ball in play 

 

[pacificnorsewst]

He's taking lessons from Chris Carter.

Rasmus has had some big hits for us thus far 

 

[pacificnorsewst]

I like him.

He always looks pissed off too. Him and Logan Morrison. Brothers.

 

[dgum]

Was kind of blown when you guys seemingly stole him away from us this year.  Always thought he was one of those players that would go off if given the right environment/opportunity.

 

[awwsome]

Altuve stay killing lefties.

 

[jewbacca2]

Bob Melvin 

That was a very entertaining argument and ejection

homerun Marisnick

this dude is going to be a legit player if can swing the bat at all. Thanks Miami
