If your not a Marlins, Yanks, or Red Sox fan you shoulld still be able to talk baseball.
My hapless Mariners are 3-1 and while the offense still may be shaky by years end, the pitching sure looks the opposite.
Final prediction? 83-79

Good thread idea.
The Braves had problems scoring runs in 2011. GM Frank Wren addressed this during the offseason by doing nothing. Amazingly after the first three games of this season the Braves continue to have problems with their offense. Go figure. But the season is still young. -
Angels didn't get off to a great start, but Morales being back is huge. Glad to see him finally healthy (knock on wood).
-
Mets are 3-0, atop the NL East, and the Yankees are 0-3.
Baseball is fun again! -
Your teams suck.

Yu Darvish off to a terrible start. Glad CJ Wilson out pitched him in start 1 at least!

After not scoring a run for 23 straight innings....the M's pull it off and At 2:05 today have a chance to get back in 1st place.
Gotta love April baseball. -

Go Phils!
This small ball crap is annoying -
Nice writeup, hopefully in the mean time we dont trade away our core players to save $. Once these guys develop the M's need to be ready to have one of the higher payrolls in baseball.

I didn't think he was particularly impressive against Detroit.
-
Even so, what does that mean? His 4th career MLB start and he got roughed up for 4 hits and 2 runs in almost 7 innings. Not sure what your saying exactly. -
I'm not saying anything in particular. Definitely not saying he sucks or anything. Just that he's going to need to be better than that. -
Obviously. As I said, he had a bad game. I regardless of how fortunate the past game was, 12 innings 6 hits 0 runs 3 BB and 17 Ks against the Yankees and Rangers combined in his first 2 starts.
Id say 18.2 innings 10 hits 2 runs and 21 Ks against the Yanks, Rangers and Tigers as a 22 year old rookie in his first 3 career starts is pretty impressive, whether one game was luck or not. The guy is a lefty smoothly throwing high 90s with good movement, knows how to pitch, and when his control is there, its very good. Control is literally the only thing keeping him from being a top 5 pitcher in the AL. He can be that good and honestly could be there by years end. -

M's blew it and may not see 1st place again......

Didn't want to start a new thread for this. Thought you all would find it interesting.
MLB, union revise contract terms
"Major League Baseball and the Players Association have informed teams and agents that they will no longer approve personal-service deals and special "milestone" bonus clauses similar to those contained in Albert Pujols' contract with the Angels, officials of both agencies told ESPN.com.
MLB and the union agreed to the changes this month in the wake of Pujols' 10-year, $240-million contract and Ryan Zimmerman's six-year, $100-million extension with the Washington Nationals, which also contains a personal-services option following his playing

Will the Ms EVER have a damn offense? I'm starting to hope Felix is traded, a great pitcher in his prime should be pitching in the post season.

Congrats to P. Humber on his "perfect" game...but where the ump blew the prior PG on bad call at first......IMO, I think the home plate ump handed a perfect game to Humber this time....personally feel it was a "gift" strikeout in the end. Shame!
P.S. 7th ex-Met to toss (no-hitter)...wow!
