MLB 2016 Season
 

I'm surprised no one has started up this thread yet considering the season is getting ready to start.

Any early season picks or favorites?

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

I was gonna make a thread, but last year's thread didn't really get off the ground.
Tigers fan reporting in. Not expecting a playoff appearance out of them, but I'd like them to finish with at least 84 wins, especially with all the moves they made in the offseason.

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

I guess there are not many baseball fans on the site. If the Braves can finish with a winning season, I'll be happy.

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

I mean they HAD a decent team. They just decided to trade everyone but Freeman away lol.

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

If we can have all the teams end the season on the same day, why can't we do the same thing with Opening Day?

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

comedy

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

yeah the NL east is competitive this year. the one team that is not competing is the braves.

i really thought the phillies would suck this year, and their run differential tells me that they're probably not going to be able to sustain the number of wins that they've had so far, but right now they're only a game behind the nats.

how about the cubs though.

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

I'm hoping with Fredi Gonzalez finally gone that'll ignite something in the team. They do have 10 wins now and it's pretty pathetic that the player with the 3rd highest batting average is hitting .174. :/

Nonetheless, I still love that team.

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

How bout them Cubbies?

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

What about em?

Nah, all jokes aside, you can't hate too much on what they've done so far this season (unless you're a part of the south side...). Heyward's out for a few games, so we'll see if they're still able to keep in stride.

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Hell of a catch he made, but he forgot the second rule of hockey: Keep your head up.

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

He's a give-it-all player defensively. Got the gold to prove it. I'm still kinda salty he's no longer with the Braves...

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

That CWS @ KC game last night was amazing.

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

FFR needs more baseball fans wow

some great games in the last few days, especially that SD/SEA one on 31/5
the o's/sox game tonight was fun too

go orioles btw

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Tigers P Michael Fulmer had a no-hitter going into the 7th last night, so that's pretty cool

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Atlanta won a game last night, so that's pretty cool.

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

I bet the over last night, so that wasn't cool for me. :(

Atlanta winning is pretty rare, especially at home. They're getting smashed 6-0 by Bumgarner and the Giants right now.

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

That pretty much sums up the past couple seasons at least.
Here's a random stat for you: The Braves are at the bottom of the league in team BA at .226. The team in 29th place? The Mets at .230 and they're sitting in 2nd place in the division.

The difference of course is pitching where the Mets ERA is 3.20 (3rd overall) and the Braves are at 4.30 (22nd overall).

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

I've stopped betting on the Mets because they're too inconsistent. They've lost 3-0 to Atlanta, been no-hit through 8 by Colin Rea and the Padres, blew a 4-0 lead to Chicago WS (who were on a 7 game losing streak), the list goes on... :(

Seattle down 12-2 tonight in San Diego only to come back and win 16-13. That was a fun one to watch, and one of the easiest bets I've won (bet over 8.5).

Bet the over 8.5 and Red Sox over 4.5, only for Jiminez to throw a no-hitter through 4 before going back to his old ways... that was somewhat scary. Jiminez should go to the minors for a bit. He's almost as bad as John Danks, who was sent down over a month ago...

Orioles hit 7 home runs last night by the way :D

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Something random... Visited Louisville Slugger Museum and had a blast. :)

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Go lakers

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Corey Seager with 2 HR tonight and 3 on Friday to bring his total to 5 for this series. What a machine!

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

There's fast, and then there's scoring from first on a single fast.

Good lord, Tribe.

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Texas has won me so much money recently. I might as well keep riding them until they fall off the rails. :D Darvish pitching tomorrow is enticing, too.

Good to see Toronto losing tonight, as well. That was great how they blew it in the bottom of the 9th.

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

I think that makes 5 wins in a row for Detroit.

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Did anyone see the Orioles/Royals brawl?

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Uhhhhhh yeah! I never miss a good brawl. Ventura is a moron and any suspension that Machado gets will be worth it.

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Strasburg wins his 13th in a row (new Nationals/Expos franchise record), and moves to 10-0 to start this season. He hasn't lost since September 13. Unreal.

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

He's been a beast this season. If he can keep this up, he's a lock for Cy Young.
Also, Braves beat the Cubs yesterday. That made me smile.

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Thanks for blowing the game for your team, Cishek. +144 line was a nice little payday on the Rangers. :D

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Damn, Baltimore almost came back. :(

The Rangers keep cashing in, though. +150, +144 and +104... great lines for a team that has no business being a heavy underdog, let alone an underdog at all vs the Mariners. Easy money.

Canó's greedy slide into 2nd base to end the game was great. :D

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Bloody hell Detroit, how do you blow a 7-0 lead vs the White Sox... :(

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

So the first place Indians have recently introduced the baseball world to the medical term "testicular contusion" with two injuries in the last week.

Not linking because I don't want to be held responsible for you guys groaning in sympathy pain.

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Hey at least they won 11-8 tonight

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

how far you've fallen from first in AL East, Baltimore


only 1 game back tied with sox after a kinda rocky start of season

looking forward to marcus stroman puttin in some more work. he was my playoffs hero

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Do the Braves actually have a 3 game winning streak? Do my eyes deceive me or am I dreaming?

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Well Fulmer was doing so good...
...Then he got rocked by the Royals

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

so Billy Hamilton might have a future as a pinch runner after chasing down this fly to right center:

http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/wa...y-diving-grab/

That's a 5.3 second hang time on the ball, and he turns on the jets and nabs it right up against the "Freaky Fast" advert for Jimmy John's.

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

That was purty.

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Billy Hamilton honestly still has the potential to break Ricky Henderson's stolen base record. He just needs to learn how to strike out less.

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

So Miggy literally hit a ball out of Comerica Park. And it's not even the longest bomb recorded there.

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Yo Kawaii025 where you at?

Your Braves just swept the Mets and are currently on a 6 game winning streak :o

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Shhhh, I like my dream. :p

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Inb4 Atlanta loses 5 straight

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Shush you~

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Uh oh they just lost 3-0 to Miami

I jinxed it D:

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Sad day. But they can start a new winning streak tomorrow!

Out of curiosity, does anyone else play Beat The Streak?

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

I haven't played that for a few seasons

I play Streak Survivor on Covers

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Giants!!!

Down 6-1 and come back to win 7-6 :D

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Welp Atlanta beat the Mets again hahaha

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Triple Post B&

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

wow pls I have to post lots to make up for the lack of activity around here

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

that's fantastic

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

That moment when you're trying to get a triple for the cycle and your body's like 'Not today José!'
Ok, I'll go back to my corner of FFR now.

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Descalso pinch-hits for LeMahieu in the bottom of the 6th, ending Terry_Sims' BTS streak at 49. This ties the record of 49 set in 2007. What a way to lose... ouch. He'll get 10,000$ at the end of the year, but he was so close to the 5.6 million...

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

loooool Cleveland defeats Toronto 2-1 after 19 innings

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Wow. Cleveland simply will not be denied. Cavs win 3 straight to bring it back and deny the golden season, now this is, what, 14 straight for the Tribe?

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Don't forget them winning the AHL's Calder Cup.

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

LAA with 22 hits and a 21-2 win over Boston

This was a fun game to watch and bet on. :D

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

and i thought toronto RUINING cleveland's streak with a 17-1 win was bad

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Ah yeah, so even if the Cavs lost Game 7 there would still be a title in the Quicken Loans Arena. Thanks for reminding me.

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Is anyone watching the ASG selection show tonight or the ASG itself?

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Selection Show: L o l

ASG: Maybe. Missed the Home Run Derby the past 3 years though.

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Who do you think will win this year's ASG? I'm hoping NL...

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Forgot about it whoops.

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

I forgot this thread existed. I try and stay updated with the Tigers, Dodgers and the Cubs.

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Dodgers are 1 game behind Giants, HYPE BUMP

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Hell of a race in the AL East as well. Also, Tigers, wtf r u doin

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

TIL Rick Porcello is 17-3.

Where the fuck was this 2 years ago???

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Also if the SF Giants win the World Series on another even numbered year the MLB is rigged.

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

I am just sitting here scratching my head about this whole season. Not sure why the Yankees are still in it, but I'll take it.

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

My team has been out since April. Guess I'll cheer for Toronto.

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Jose Fernandez died in a boating accident.

http://m.marlins.mlb.com/news/articl...ting-accident/

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Damn, I couldn't believe it. That kinda sucks to hear, he was a good pitcher and seemed like a good guy.

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

Yeah it sucks. He was so young too.

Re: MLB 2016 Season
 

It feels a lot like it did when Sean Taylor died. Young guy that's already an established superstar that dies before their prime.
