Cubs are the only team in the MLB to have not lost back to back games.
Who would have thought a tenth of the way into the MLB season that the Mets are on their way to a 13-3 record. #WOW
Yeah, no kidding. Wow is right.Quote:

I admit, I'm a big fan of Hamilton's. I have my doubts, but I hope he can come back and at least be a factor for some team.
Hamilton has not lived up to his contract. It feels as though the Angels are going to use this as a way to escape it. When is Hamilton coming back?
Early June I believe.Quote:

He's severely overpaid though. That's not really his fault. The Angels owner personally flew in to woo him away from Texas. It was reported that Hamilton didn't want to go Anaheim to begin with, but Moreno insisted and pursued him with a vengeance.
If he's having buyers remorse now, it's his own fault.
I'm sure he'll get it back together. Getting away from being close to LA would definitely help.
He didn't want to go, but Moreno insisted? :D
He chased the money (and who can blame him?). If he didn't want to go, he would have told the Angels to piss off.
Royals win 2015 World Series because they play harder and piss everyone off
Sounds like LAA is trading Hamilton to TEX
More like the Royals need to chill the hell out before they all end up suspended. Playing like a bunch of jackasses.

It's one thing to play hard, maybe play with a chip on their shoulder, whatever. It's another thing sitting there getting in benches clearing brawls, throwing behind the head of batters, getting players tossed and likely suspended every game. What the Royals are doing now is going beyond playing with a chip on their shoulder. I'm starting to lose any care of what happens to the Royals and their players, and I was rooting for them every game of the playoffs last year.
#TheScriptIsDead
Yep.
The Royals are going from very likeable to very asshole-ish quickly.
As I recently heard, Straight Outta Kauffman. :D
I can confirm these are available for purchase...Quote:

Should have watched the Astros in the last few years to find out.Quote:

Houston will also improve to 12-0 when scoring 4+ runs and 11-0 when scoring first. They lead the Majors in steals and are tied for the lead in home runs. The list goes on and on.
The closed-to-the-public White Sox / O's game is the free game of the day on MLB.TV

Cool thing about the empty stadium game, you can hear the chatter in the dugout.

Astros complete a 3-game sweep in San Diego with a 7-2 win. Houston went 8-1 on the west coast, the best 9-game road trip in club history.
Houston scored 30 runs in 3 games at Petco.
Was it SI that predicted the Astro's would be WS champs in 2016?Quote:

Yes, but it was 2017. And, technically, the article you are referring to (Astro - Matic Baseball) was in the same SI issue but wasn't the fantasy article about the 2017 WS.Quote:

I'm glad you two talked about those articles, I read both tonight. Particularly interested in the Astro-matic article given my recent fascination with analytics. Might have to send my resume yo Houston unsolicited :DQuote:
