The 2016 MLB Random Thoughts Thread

[Tide Run This]

I know it's early but it might be time to the Yankees, Angels and 2016 NL West Giants need a 4 and 5 starter in worst way I have no interest in even watching games Peavy and Cain start these days shyt tragic Giants played 9:30am game and I turned it off after 3 innings

Yea Peavy has to go. As a 5, i think Cain can be serviceable. Its time to get Heston in over Peavy, and if they need to, get someone up to replace Cain. 5th starter may be a trade target at the deadline as well.

Damn Royals

Damn Royals

I took Wade Davis thinking he was a lock for 50-55 saves and they've been so underwhelming.

Of course, the Tigers had to be trash this year.

It's crazy how easy the Cubs are just bodying everyone but how they lose they only series at home to the Rockies


I gotta try and make it up to SF in a couple weekends and catch a Cubs/Giants game Cubbies looking like fukking savages in 2016. Cubs and Trump in 2016 shyt is getting spooky

The Royals taking a huge step back was prophesied by nearly every statistical driven predictor

That said, they are still above. 500 but that starting pitching is very meh

The baseballs are juiced. No question about it. Cold weather cities are having high-scoring games. Players on record, are hitting the ball as hard as they've ever hit them.

Manfred has talked wanting more offense. He's trying to get the ratings back up. This is the best way to do it w/o creating a drug scandal.

This will get talked about more towards the summer.

Juiced balls were just as responsible for the homeruns in the "steroid era" as the steroids. You don't see as many homeruns that just stay in the air like they used too. People are still juicing, but its rare for someone to hit 40+ homeruns now.

The "juiced ball" theory back in the 90's quickly died when people realized it was the players who were juiced. We haven't heard that theory since then up until now. We do know players are still using PED's to a certain extent.
