Step inside and support your team!

As i said last year when the season started, and it came true, your future 2017 WS champions will be the Cubs, again!

Well, it will be interesting to see how the Red Sox fare this year without David Ortiz' bat in the lineup. That is a major void but they do have some good young talent and if they perform as expected they should be alright.
Starting pitching looks good on paper as well but the bullpen will be a question mark all year.
With all that said I expect them to win the AL East.

Go Rangers! Sam Dyson can get ****ed though. Rangers appear to have the bats but the question again will be pitching.

So it looks like Chris Sale is going to be that guy the Red Sox don't score runs for this year. He's been awesome but has gotten no run support.
A guess its a good sign the Red Sox have been winning close game so far, something they really didn't do last season.

Sale is one of the best pitchers in baseball, period. I'd say a top 5. For him only allowed 3 runs in 4 starts, and he only has 1 win, says a lot for how bad the Sox offense is when he starts. He should be 4-0.

If Joey Gallo could cut his strikeouts down, hit for contact and not just power, he could be amazing. When he hits HR's his exit velocities are up there will Stanton's. I'd love to see Gallo in a HR derby.

Astros off to a great start. This is what I expected last year. Better late than never.

 

[VenomousDSG]

What the **** is going on with the Cubs..... Horrible starting pitching and zero offense.

 

[Sinister04L]

Astros wrecked Jeter Day for the Yankees. Keep it up boys.

 

[VNOMIS]

Anybody wanna take sam dyson? Will make sacrifice to the baseball gods if you take him.

I think the Nationals or Astros got the WS this year, they have looked great all season.

 

[Sinister04L]

Very nice to be flipping the script on the Rangers from last year. Astros are tearing it up. Just so solid from top to bottom.

 

[Sinister04L]

**** the Rangers haha.

 

[VNOMIS]

**** the Rangers haha.

Now I know what it is feels like to be an Astros fan all these years.

 

[Sinister04L]

Now I know what it is feels like to be an Astros fan all these years.

And I don't think it'll change anytime soon.

Aaron Judge is a monster! He bombs one 513ft! Also mishitting balls and they were still going out.

 

[MassCobra]

As the Red Sox sit in first place (for now) I still can't help but bitch at how frustrating they are to watch on the offensive side. Everyone knew not having David Ortiz would be a huge void but it shows even more than I imagined. They've had an extraordinary amount of games handed to them because the other team can't play defense.

 

[Sinister04L]

Hopefully the Stros nurse all these hurt players back to health for the stretch run into the playoffs. What an offensive juggernaut this team is. Altuve is a machine! Average up to .365 right now.

 

[VNOMIS]

Well the Rangers season is pretty much over. On a side note, congrats to the Indians on 22 consecutive wins! That's insane!!
