LET THE SEASON BEGIN

[Pure Steel]

It's gonna be like the NHL.

Ah, why not? This season's gonna have a big old asterisk chained to it anyway.

Just give everyone a trophy......

Not if the Indians win it all!

My guess is Sox should be able to slug their way into the top 8 in the AL, but the Central teams don't have to play the Yanks and Rays 20 times, so who knows?

They get a nice head start facing Tommy Milone, Alex Cobb, and Wade LeBlanc out of the gate.

Nice schedule facing the Pirates, Royals, and Tigers for half their games.

Yeah the shortened season definitely favors the AL Central especially the Indians and Twins

I love that one of Fox Sports Cincinnati's keys for Sonny Gray is "take a deep breath"

 

[navamind]

I can agfee with those, but I am not as optimistic as you on STL? A few questions to be all in.

A team in each League to watch...

Cincy in the NL. Their offense is very good and their rotation is deep.

Detroit in AL, not a real reason, but I like Tim Anderson and Lucas Giolito.

they're in Chicago

The fake crowd noise in Tampa Bay is ridiculous. I can barely hear the announcers. My god.
