I think the Braves will win the East but I think it is going to be a tighter race than some predictions.

Meh. We'll see. But the Braves have the best overall and most well-rounded team in the division and arguably in the NL so the division is likely theirs for a while barring anything unforeseen.

Legit 0.0 ratings in like 2013.


Astros was a team in 2013. Who would have ever known?

I might be wrong but I think they will win by 5 or so games.

I’m disappointed they haven’t shown the reporter MILF lately

I don't think you have the ability to be bias...
Their bullpen added 5 different players who've had success elsewhere in Hand, Nelson, Knebel, Familia, etc...

Now defensively they've made some additions but also some subtractions. It isn't like McCutchen is a plus defender anymore as he was worth -7 DRS same as Castellanos.

Didi is also going to play less SS this year which will help with the INF defense.

I tend to think they will actually be a bit better defensively than last year and at worst finish evenly to how they did last year.

Yeah NL East is the Braves as long as their pitching holds and Acuna/Ozuna bounces back. I think Olsen has a good year but not a great year as he adjust to everything new

Lindor’s X-ray on his jaw was negative and he passed concussion protocols.

Reds comeback in the 9th falls short. They scored 3 in the 9th on 2 outs.

A challenge at the plate overturned and the Jays retake the lead.

Amazingly, a Blue Jay pitcher still has not recorded a strike out.

I wish Seth Beer could be an everyday starter for the Diamondbacks. He is not a good defensive player but if he was, I could see him being a 30-35 HR player

The Blue Jays trailed 7-0 at one point & won 10-8. It's the 3rd largest comeback in a season opener in MLB history. Only trailing the 1901 Tigers (trailed by 10 vs Brewers, won 14-13) and the 1950 Yankees (trailed by 9 at Red Sox, won 15-10).

She wasn't bad - I'm impressed that was her

A lot of female announcers try so hard, which is understandable. But the charm of Romo and Mannings are that they are just being themselves. She did a nice job of bringing that to the pbp role
