MLB - Short comments about anything to do with the 2015 season.

Dboneesq · April 12, 2015 6:05AM

I thought it was strange that as of right now there are only EIGHT teams out of THIRTY that are above .500

Detroit 6 0
Kansas City 5 0
Atlanta 5 1
Boston 4 1
Cincinnati 4 1
Colorado 4 1
Toronto 4 2
Arizona 3 2

jmaciu · April 12, 2015 6:14AM

Give it 4 days and Cincinnati will be off of that list. The Reds bullpen is a train wreck!

itzagoner · April 12, 2015 7:04AM

on the other hand there were only like 2 or 3 NHL teams which finished below .500

Stingray · April 12, 2015 7:05AM

Yeah Tigers!!

JBrules · April 12, 2015 7:21AM

<< Yeah Tigers!! >>

The revamped Tigers look pretty good offensively so far. It will be interesting to see how the play once the dust settles on the fast start. Relief pitching will be the key to success for them this year.

You have to count the OTL's for those if you count extra innings for baseball. Look at Philly for example: 18 overtime losses!

detroitfan2 · April 12, 2015 11:11AM

Tigers and Royals have a 4 game series starting on April 30th that will pretty much determine the Central Division.

gemint · April 12, 2015 1:24PM

All they need is for the starter to go 8 and let Chapman handle the rest. They sure took care of my Buccos.

SOM · April 12, 2015 1:30PM

Not to worry, gemmint. Once McCutchen gets healthier, Bucs offense will roll.

But damn! Chapman is otherworldly, I agree.

ElToroLoco · April 12, 2015 4:17PM

I can't stand it when the Giants can't give Lincecum run support.

ToadMan · April 12, 2015 10:40PM

Go Royals!!!

miwlvrn · April 12, 2015 10:44PM

Go Tigers!

craigger · April 12, 2015 10:55PM

add my PADRES to that list...4-3 and headed up!

Topgun6580 · April 12, 2015 11:15PM

I have to say I am a huge Atlanta Braves fan and was pretty upset when they traded away many stars. But instead of either striking out or hitting HRs all they do is hit base hits and drive in runs. Hope they can keep it up

baz518 · April 12, 2015 11:56PM

Watch out for the Cubs, they'll be atop of the NL Central standings soon!!

Mefer · April 13, 2015 12:49AM

Its an odd year. I am waiting for 2016.

Sincerely, Giants Fan

BeRoyalKC · April 13, 2015 5:30AM

Scratch that, Royals 6-0

Dboneesq · April 15, 2015 10:41PM

The AL EAST - Yankees are only team below .500

The AL WEST - NOBODY is above .500

The NL EAST - METS are tied for FIRST

alnavman · April 15, 2015 10:49PM

just about everyone on the Indians team is hurt or destined to be hurt.....they started year with a lot of pitching depth but their starters are one by one being picked off....(see carassco) Brantley hurt, Gomes out six weeks, etc etc.....

itzagoner · April 15, 2015 10:56PM

George Springer and Kevin Pillar should be arrested for burglary.

Dboneesq · April 15, 2015 10:59PM

I saw the Pillar catch on video earlier this morning. AMAZING!

You KNEW better than to say this out loud!

baz518 · April 15, 2015 11:22PM

Is it Friday yet? I'm ready for Kris Bryant to be called up!!!

belz · April 15, 2015 11:27PM

<< Is it Friday yet? I'm ready for Kris Bryant to be called up!!! >>

Could very well be the year for the Cubs...they look really good...winning games they typically lose, early, but I like it. Also, Puig is the pretender I thought...watch him get demoted to the minors at some point this season.

itzagoner · April 15, 2015 11:46PM

yeah, that would make a lot of sense. the Dodgers have already abused their fan base enough without televised games (thanks ESPN2 for last night).

now you suggest they demote the dynamic dude who has helped them sell several thousand more season tickets.

sounds about right. Joc is looking better every day.

Largentcollector · April 16, 2015 12:39AM

Mariner pitching ugg!

miwlvrn · April 16, 2015 1:59AM

Detroit still on top

WhiteTornado · April 16, 2015 2:11AM

Orioles doing okay. Not too sure I trust Tommy Hunter, though. Still waiting for Kevin Gausman to get a permanent spot in the rotation. He looks slightly uncomfortable coming out of the pen, maybe believing he has to try blowing 100-mph pitches past everyone. As a starter, I think he'd learn quicker how to pace himself and how to get better at fooling batters, even with the heat.

runningman · April 16, 2015 2:18AM

The World Champions won't be repeating but Lincecum looks good after two starts, Bumgarner not so much ...

BaltimoreYankee · April 16, 2015 5:23AM

Yankees look like crap once again. Heading to third straight year missing the playoffs - a baseball first world problem.

Dboneesq · April 16, 2015 12:00PM

METS on a roll ... on pace to go 113-49. HAHAHAHA

Hey, it's nice to see them in sole possession of 1st place. Have to enjoy it while it lasts!

Tabe · April 16, 2015 1:38PM

<< Also, Puig is the pretender I thought...watch him get demoted to the minors at some point this season. >>

Yeah, the 1100 plate appearances of superstar-level performance the last two years were a FLUKE. It's the 30 appearances over the last WEEK that are the true indicator of Puig as a player.

Good grief.

baz518 · April 16, 2015 9:38PM

<< Is it Friday yet? I'm ready for Kris Bryant to be called up!!! >>

It's Friday... and Theo didn't disappoint! Could be a fun year if we stay healthy and Lester gets on track. I'll be in Cincinnati next weekend to see them and at Wrigley to see them again in a couple months (against the Dodgers).

In my opinion he always had problems but were masked...once the pitchers figured out how to pitch to him, he became an average player that could have decent streaks. He's exciting to watch no question but that flash wont last if he ends up batting under .250 this season, with 20 homers...you watch.

Totally sweet!!! Can't believe what his cards have been going for...I don't own any, but have some cool Soler's.

totallyradd · April 16, 2015 11:11PM

My Brewers are looking like absolute garbage. I don't know why they even bother bringing their bats up to the plate at this point. It's early but each game I'm anticipating a fire sale more and more.

PaulMaul · April 16, 2015 11:28PM

I'm really impressed with the improvement of Lucas Duda, both offensively and defensively. This guy can really be good!

So you are saying pitchers adjusted to him like they adjust to all new players. I say Puig will adjust to the pitchers as he is very young & raw & continue to improve, thus elevating him to superstar status as the Dodgers finally win another World Series! -Nostradamus

Ok, we agree to disagree, but ya, I think I'm spot on..this wasn't the intention of the thread but go ahead and read some stories about what kind of player Puig was in Cuba...Big picture tells me he wont be the superstar everyone might think..but then again, Kris Bryant is 0-2 with 2 strikeouts so far, so what do I know???? haha.

RailsideCards · April 17, 2015 4:44AM

The Tigers are 9-1!

psychump · April 17, 2015 10:18AM

The Giants are very difficult to watch. Giving Peavy a 2/24 million was an absolute waste. Cy Young winner Kluber signs for 5/38.5 while the Giants get taken for a ride. Looks like they could be going for the record of worst year after a World Series win.

I hope Puig falls apart. He plays like an old Dodger named Carl Furillo, wreckless in the field to the point where it cut off his career.

Dboneesq · April 17, 2015 11:37AM

Mets - First Place
Bartolo Colon - Leads the league in Wins
Juerys Familia - Leads the league in Saves.

Did I just say this?

grote15 · April 17, 2015 1:20PM

Colon is looking almost too good~I'm hoping he doesn't turn up dirty again, LOL!

jmaciu · April 17, 2015 1:27PM

As a Reds fan, I have 2 questions:

Why would Walt Jocketty think it is a good idea to sign Kevin Gregg to a $1.5 million deal?
Why would a Reds' pitcher ever throw Yadier Molina a fastball with the game on the line?

SOM · April 17, 2015 3:02PM

Kris Bryant and Mike Trout are both 23

JBrules · April 17, 2015 9:58PM

Tigers are off to a 9-1 and start. The last two times they started at 9-1 (1984 and 1968) they won the World Series. Just saying!!!

Dboneesq · April 18, 2015 9:25PM

DA METS. 9-3; First Place; 7 wins in a row; 2nd best record in all of baseball. I don't get to say this too often ... Have to enjoy it while I can.

totallyradd · April 19, 2015 12:52AM

The Brewers are on pace to win 30 games. Here's to a magical season!

Dboneesq · April 20, 2015 10:28AM

Two more guys went on DL for the Mets ... 1 fractured arm ... 1 fractured hand. Let's hope they can stay hot without them.

JBrules · April 20, 2015 10:30AM

Tigers have the best record in baseball. Just put away the Yankees 2-1. Go Tigers!!!

Dboneesq · April 21, 2015 12:01PM

<< Tigers have the best record in baseball. Just put away the Yankees 2-1. Go Tigers!!! >>

Mets and Tigers have the best record in Baseball. NINE wins in a row for the Mets ... Have not been able to enjoy a start like this EVER! Fingers crossed for the rest of the year.
