Official 2017 MLB Season Thread

Fuck a Yankee. Big Balls McCullers.

The World Series is going to be litty. First matchup of two 100+ win teams since 1970.

My God the Yankees play atrocious baseball. No speed in the line up aside from Didi, and Judge is probably the 2nd fastest. Such a slow, plodding team that can't baserun for shit or really do anything else baseball related aside from hit homeruns.

Stros.

lol

Gonna go with Doyers in 5, but I'm hoping the Astros drag them through the streets.

Should be a great series, going with LA in 6.

Game 1's gonna be huge obviously especially with Verlander going in G2....

Winner of game 1 takes this in 6. I think it will be LA.

I am a casual baseball fan, I've been to a few Dodger games this year. The buzz around town is tantamount. Haven't seen this buzz since the Kings won a few years back and even then hockey doesn't quite generate the seismic buzz as either baseball, football, basketball. The Rams have also provided a decent product. Hell, even the Chargers have won back-to-back games. There's a ton of new Dodger caps out and about. Par for the course with the L.A. sports atmosphere.

My late father took me to a game in '88. He was a huge fan. His supervisor had season tickets back in the day and he'd get a pair a few times a season. If he were alive, he'd be super excited. So, I root de-facto for the team.

That's one way to start the game. Too early to say GG?

Kershaw tossing some filthy shite up there.

:lol Kerchoke

Still early, but this is shaping up to be an epic series.

A couple of questionable strike calls, but overall Kershaw is dealing

Dodgers may never lose again, tbh.

Dodgers win game 1, not surprising, Springer is ass

That loud noise we all just heard was caused by Kershaw's balls finally dropping, tbh.

Gotta say, I was impressed by how he recovered from giving up that HR. I was expecting another patented Kerchoke, tbh.

Classic pitcher's duel. Keuchel was great aside from like two mistakes. Not liking Verlander vs. Rich Hill, though.

Justin Turner and I went to the same High School. Well, he went after I graduated, but still, we're fellow alumni. He is killing it both in the beard game and on the bases.
