World Series:

I for one am finally ready for the Mets injury curse to undo itself. Ray Ramirez is gone. The NL is very very tough this year, so I think they will sneak into the playoffs, and sadly collapse to the juggernaut Dodgers after the exhaustion of back to back play-in games (and using 1-2 pitching punch there).

The offense was solid last year and is basically the same this year, except more full years from everyone. They have the best 1-2 pitchers in baseball, but maybe the most question mark 3-4. Who knows what Harvey and Matz will be, but at least averageish should be sufficient considering what they have elsewhere. Lugo (or Wheeler) in the 5 spot should be fine for a 5 spot.

They are still a very similar team to 2016 and 2017. 2016 was one of their worst injury years of all time and they made the Wild Card game. 2017 was THE worst and they missed the playoffs. But all it will take is to be less injured than they were in 2016, which shouldn't be hard since THE RAY RAMIREZ CURSE IS GONE (of course... its the Mets, ya never know). I think they are the most highly variate team in baseball. Could win as many as 93 or as few as 75. I'm aiming high end here. They're a very good club who hasn't been able to stay on the field. This is the year they do it, and prove me wrong about just making it as far as a NLDS exit (of course, if that is what the season ends in, given the overall expectations, I guess that would be ok. But I want more.)

Be on the lookout for an absolutely MONSTER year from Michael Conforto.

Rangers gonna be so bad this year

Just like last year

And I'm not as excited for their offense as I was last year, so they might not even be entertaining. I guess best case is Odor learns how to not strike out every time he gets to the plate and that the young guys all continue to develop (I still think DeShields will be an all star in 3-5 years if he doesn't get hurt. Dude is LEGIT)

RIP Le Grand Orange....

Mets game was super great and well-rounded today.
Thor, even though he gave up 4 runs, looked great, struck out 10, didnt walk any, topped at 99.
Mets offense , basically everyone did something of value. They drew 9 walks!! This team has a ton of power so it's good to see them being patient as opposed to "that all or nothing HR or strikeout team" up and down the lineup. If they can keep that up the offense will be especially dangerous.
Bullpen was crystalline too!

Mets increase their Opening Day record to 37-20, the best in baseball by far

Orioles have won 8 straight opening day games. They also won 3-2 with a walkoff homerun in the 11th just like last year.

Hopefully that's where there similarities to last year end.

Yeah I saw what happened in the Pirates/Tigers game too, with the 11th inning "walkoff" that was reviewed and overturned.

They got the call right on the overturn imo, but it took like FIVE MINUTES, come the fuck on man.
Theres a rule that replay is supposed to be 2 mins or less but there's an exception clause built on at review ump's discretion so it never has to be followed.

They REALLY need to make a hard and fast rule- if a review takes more than 90 seconds or so, then the call must be upheld. Y'all want to fix pace of play, fuck that runner on 2nd base in extra innings garbage (I will refuse to attend any minor league games because of that btw)- just make replay better.
