Texas needed to finish the comeback yesterday, would have launched momentum into the remaining games.

I'm conceding that the division is Oakland's.
 
Ddn't see Oakland repeating last year's success. Respect. Fun team to watch.
 
I'm worried about Matty. I wanna root for LAD and ATL, but I just don't see it in the playoffs.
 
Manny's ceiling is also higher than Donaldson's.

Migs and Beltre top two for me.

Longo had an "off year," but nobody is taking Donaldson over him at the hot corner.

Everyone should probably realize this is Longoria. Not gonna be A-Rod like he was billed. Still an awesome player.

By this year only, Josh is better than everyone outside of Miggy and maybe Beltre this year.
 
Hate to say, I'm awaiting an Atlanta meltdown.

Dodgers might get spanked depending on the matchup.
 
It seems like the dodgers peaked to early. Part of me thinks their just pacing along until the playoffs but I think they'll be fine.

The braves however, chokers until proven otherwise
 
Kershaw, Greinke.

Atlanta's young rotation. Plethora of options.

Interesting story lines in the NL.
 
You just gotta hope Kershaw has improved enough not to look as bad as he did in 09. I think he has. I'd worry about Greinke getting two starts.
 
Could be very good, or very bad. No in between, I feel. My intuition is the latter, with Puig blowing up negatively.
 
It's still very clear in my head his God awful starts against AZ and STL a couple years ago.
 
Of course I do, I'll have something to say about every division rival in our way. If the Mariners ever did something with their team I'd be talking about them too. Nothing personal, just business.
 
Wladimir Balantien set the Japanese HR record with 2 HR today. Congrats to him.


Im surprised they pitched to him, though. Wasn't it in the past if any foreign player was coming close to Oh's record, they'd just IBB him for the rest of the season? I wonder what changed this time?
 
Unless the Dodgers' offense becomes unstoppable, yeah.

All they have to do to win is use their Left handed pitchers and hope our starters and bullpen gives up a couple runs.

Hopefully Craig can come back and be healthy, he always ends up getting hurt during the season.......its always some freak injury with him. Matt Adams has been alright, but we need his .400+ RISP

You should have bet me $100 when I said the A's wouldn't finish ahead of the Angels.

The Dodgers are set up so perfectly for the playoffs with those starters. If they're offense continues with those timely hits they should breeze through the postseason.

I would love to see the Pirates win it tho :hat
