Norva Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 The Cubs are not going to be as good as most people peg them to be I don't think. They will compete but I can't see that pitching staff getting them very deep let alone a World Series title. Just my opinion I am not expert by any means. As a fan of an AL team, I am very excited for the season. Top to bottom there isn't a wide gap in the AL, it's going to be a fun and competitive race all season long.

bigbean24 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Does anybody know of a website I can go on and find out what pitches that a pitcher has in his arsenal? I wasn't really sure how to google that. As a catcher I just find it fascinating and it's actually fun to sit there and watch a game, trying to predict what they would throw. Anyways, thanks in advance. St. Paul Pioneers(GHA) Minnesota Skeeters(CL) Minnesota Lake Monsters(UFL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicfurth Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Cubbies looked like beasts yesterday. Plus my Rangers squeaked one out. Overall, great opening day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabcake Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 So apparently earlier this winter Adam Jones and the Orioles came out with a story that the postgame pie in the face tradition would be dead due to "safety concerns". Yeah, about that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I like how the two World Series teams opened up against each other and the two worst teams from last year opened up against each other. I didn't pay much attention to the Reds this spring. That lineup is YIKES. That bench is as deep as a kiddie pool and the bullpen is going to struggle. The starting pitching is too young to even have a take on them yet. Yesterday was fun because winning game 1 is always better than losing, but there is no beating around the bush - this is the worst collection of players I've ever seen wear Cincinnati Reds uniforms. I know I should've expected that, but knowing it was coming and seeing it in action is two very different things. Also, I didn't make it downtown for opening day and I'm okay with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynasty Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I don't even recognize my own team with all the different players. This whole "rebuilding" process is gonna take years and unfortunately it's going to feel like a decade. Well, they're 1-0 now, but that's probably the best I could've hoped for.
