MLB Season 2016

Well, at least we won't be disappointed this year!!

Reminds me of the old days when you expected Atlanta the Saints to have a crappy team every year.

FIFY

[2Stater]

Lol! Yeah, them too.

Boston opens up at Cleveland this afternoon. David Price, acquired during the offseason, will get the start today.

I do not know what to expect out of the BoSox this year.

Always liked Boston.  Hopefully they get it together again.   

[2Stater]

Yeah, I like them too. Last year was very disappointing for them. The acquisition of David Price certainly won't hurt them.

Gotta cheer for a winner this year.  Hopefully the Sox are it.

Off to work.

I sure hope the first 3 games are a valid indicator of the type team the Dodgers will field this year.  Unfortunately, I'm guessing it's just that the Padres suck.

Yeah, the Dodgers have collectively outscored the Padres in the 3 games played, 25-0. If they keep this pace, they will be the best team in the history of sports.

Is Jim Hart GM of the Braves & the Padres?

Hey MD Hart can't be in 2 places at one time but who is he really the GM of? RTR!

Boston is 2-1 with 2 games of the young season being postponed due to rain and cold weather. They went 1-1 at Cleveland and beat Toronto on the road last night in Game 1 of that series. Their first home game will be Monday against the Orioles. David Price, who got the start and win in the Sox opener, will get the home opener start as well. Baltimore is off to a great start at 4-0.

I look for the O's to have a great year. Bucky is bringing these guys out with some good talent now. All the split games in spring season made them not look as strong. RTR!

I continue to be impressed by the sheer brilliance of Braves GM Jim Hart. He is suckering the entire NL into thinking the Braves are lousy & will lose 90-100 games this year. They have started the season at 0-7 with a blistering .203 batting average & 22 runs scored in 7 games with 3 home runs. Now, he can unleash the Braves mighty hitting attack & start winning after catching the NL by surprise.

This not the only example of Jim Hart's genius, here's another example:

The Braves’ season, which has jumped the rails even sooner and more dramatically than most could have envisioned, took an ugly, real-life turn Wednesday when left fielder Hector Olivera was arrested on domestic violence charges at the team hotel in Arlington, Va. (just outside of Washington D.C., where the team is for a series against the Nationals). Olivera appeared in court later in the day and was charged with misdemeanor assault and battery.

It may be a while before we learn details of the reported incident and of Olivera’s guilt or innocence. That said, this is the last thing the Braves needed in a season when their on-field product is an embarrassment and the only thing they have going for them is the feel-good storyline of rebuilding with young, hard-working players and doing things the right way.

Olivera isn’t young (31), but he’s relatively new. Braves executives John Hart and John Coppolella took a significant risk when they acquired the high-priced, former Cuban defector from the Los Angeles Dodgers in a three-team trade last July, sending away a package of players that included starting lefthander Alex Wood and touted prospect Jose Peraza. The Dodgers paid Olivera a $28 million signing bonus but the Braves remain responsible for his salaries from 2016 to 2020 ($32.5 million).

FWIW, Hart is not the GM of the Braves. John Coppolella is. Hart is still apparently pulling strings in a different capacity with the Braves, but Coppolella has been the GM since October.
