2016 MLB thread. THE CUBS HAVE BROKEN THE CURSE! Chicago Cubs are your 2016 World Series champions

Yankees bats looking like they picked up where they left off last year :x

Went to Citi Field last night, had a great time. Caught a homer from Ian Desmond in BP and then Danny Espinosa tossed me a ball as well. Turned those two balls into Anthony Rendon and Denard Span autographs. The best part though? Got Harp to sign my authentic definitely framing that now!

Mets fans started booing Granderson after his second at bat, guy next to me started calling him Jason Bay/Jeremy Burnitz/and other bum Mets outfielders from over the years.

Nice. The Nationals are 3 outs away from sweeping the Mets. Great start to the season.

He's on a tear for sure.

Goldschmidt has like a 25 game hitting streak from last season. Does that count?

I think so, but I hate when it's not a "clean" streak.

[GreenNGold89]

Rosenthal closing the door on the Reds comeback

[do work son]

would've been nice to sweep the yanks, but 2 out of 3 isn't bad. it's 2 more wins than i expected

 

[jewbacca]

The Astros are on pace to win 108 games. Just go ahead and hand us the trophy now.

quit your *****ing. Mariners have opened on the road for 7 straight now

 

[wildkycat]

Still trying to figure out how I feel about the Matt Adams "push."

 

[dmbrhs]

Yup. I couldn't even remember the last time the Mariners opened at home lol.

Was wondering if the media was gonna run with it...I saw it live and it wasn't that serious

Ball was outta play but that fan was a douche and what the fan did after confirmed it

Edit: just looked at it again. It was more of a tap in the chest with his glove than a shove

 

[oldmanwithalawn]

Old news alert:

Cabrera's contract is exactly what's wrong with beisbol these days. Why do you think these owners give out such ridiculous contracts? Simply to justify a price hike on tickets. At the end of the day, the fan is getting the shaft while MLB inches closer to the precipice.

In the latest survey conducted by the said poll body, 35 percent of the respondents said NFL remains their favorite sport while Major League Baseball was a far second at 14 percent.

During the first year of the poll, the NFL won by a single percentage point over the MLB, 24 to 23 percent. But the NFL has increased its popularity by leaps and bounds, while fan interest in the MLB has steadily declined. In fact, pro baseball has suffered a nine percent drop in popularity over that span. It has been suggested that baseball has not been able to get back its fans who were turned off by the 1994 World Series cancellation

I think it was more of a shove than a tap... but nothing malicious. I thought it was funny when he waved the ball at Adams and that shoulda been the end of it. Then of course he had to flip him the bird like an idiot.

Can't stand Papelbon for some reason or the Phillies but I would love to see my boy Giles get some work in this season in the bigs. If he gets his stuff under control he will be the Phillies closer in a few years. Facing him was always an adventure

It looked worse because apparently the fan just had knee surgery

I mean, it's whatever. Didn't look all that malicious and they flipped him off accordingly. Nice to see that classy broad next to him, holy **** she had a mouth on her
