Only 2 weeks until pitchers and catchers report!! I am so ready for a season where they don’t try to drum up nostalgia for the one season when we kind of almost did well but not quite. I’m feeling pretty decent about things this year, though. How about you? I have a back up NL team that I root for just in case.
Play ball!
I am, or course, a Mariners fan but that doesn’t always bring much satisfaction. I root for the GIants as well because Lincecum is a homer, Mad Bum and I love Pence’s style.
I am having a hard time being patient. The Cubs have a decent shot at having a good year this year.
I should know better as a Mets fan, but I am so excited about all our young pitchers that I can’t wait for the season to start.
Last year we were brim full with young pitchers then they ended up with injuries and didn’t get back up until the end of the season. What we have this year is Nelson Cruz which should help matters a great deal.
Huge MLB fan in the Seattle area. I’m excited about Cruz too but I’m a little confused that we didn’t re-sign Chris Young or another pitcher. I’m glad Walker and Paxton didn’t get traded though.
I am wondering about that spot in the rotation. Elias might have more stamina this year. I think Paxton is the second coming, but I don’t like Walker’s delivery. He’s got a weird arm slot and does a bit of a trebuchet style release. I feel like he will get hit and continue to have arm trouble.
We had just better not see Erasmo Ramirez again. I don’t think I could take it.
garland, I am a Mets fan, too. Aren’t you from Texas? I am a Rangers fan first, but have a soft spot for the Mets.
Nope–Jerseyan through and through.
I’m just following this thread to see what the kitty is up to.
Lets Go Mets!!!
Spring training is great because it is all about youth and hope.
The Red Sox are trying to sell us that each of their mediocre starting pitchers has at one time thrown like an ace. Like asking for lightning to strike in the same spot 5 times.
Yankees will start winter camp in Tampa in less than two weeks. Derek Jeter should just let the whole Yankee organization crash at his Tampa waterfront mansion…his home is huge!
I love Jeter
In other news Jesus Montero is supposedly going to report BELOW training weight instead of 60 pound over! This had better be he absolute last chance and if Pineda has a crazy good season for NY after his injury that will go down as another of the Mariners’ worst trades ever (there’s a lot of material to work with there).
I loved Nellie Cruz when he was a Ranger. My D and I often commented on his eyebrows. They are perfect. Really. He must get them professionally waxed or something.
Dodger fan here - can’t wait for the season to start! Especially since my family has a DC/NYC trip planned this summer to see the Dodgers play the Nats and the Mets. I am so excited!
Red Sox fan here. I too am skeptical about their starting pitching. My backup team is the Cincinnati Reds. I can’t wait for baseball season to start!
