I think the Cubs might've just peaked for the season already. Trying not to be baited into buying the mlb at bat subscription.

Opening day games average 32 minutes shorter

4x as many stolen bases

Graterol Dodger with more of the chokage.

Tries to be the hero and do the scoop tag instead of just simply fielding and getting help from teamate by tossing to 1b.

Acuna batting .370 with 2 HRs & steals

Olson .308 with 3 HRs

Otahni after 2 starts:

12 ip
1 earned run
18 Ks

Left team with 1-0 lead and 4-1 lead.

Is only 1-0. It's the Angels.

Let's go. NL party.

Padres take 3 outta 4 @ Chop-House

Both teams with injuries. Braves getting exposed for quiet offseason. LF/DH and back of the rotation weak.



MLB changes quickly. From 6-1 to nearing .500 and facing serious questions in a couple positions.

So are the Rays for real?

So are the Rays for real?

Who knows. But you don’t wanna blow your load early. Once they get figured out they will go cold.

[FrostKing]

4 main reasons for thier success

- Run differential
- Slugging percentage
- Rarely trailing
- Opponents (low) winning percentage


Their probability for winning the AL East has now doubled. One had to figure Rays were a team primed for more success under the new rules. They have also avoided a rash of injuries (seems quite high this season).

losing to the Rangers? At home?

losing to the Rangers? At home?

Astros got swept last year at one point by the Rangers and won the WS.

blowing your wad with 100 plus games left
getting slapped as we speak
thinking the month of April is anything but extended spring training
