MLB predictions, anyone?

[Auggie]

I have one:

Guardians will make it deep into the playoffs. This team is young, fast, and hungry. They play small ball and defense well, have a decent bench, a solid pitching staff, smart coaches and savvy executives.

[dem4decades]

1. The Mets will disappoint their fans again.

Quite the prediction isn't it?

[Auggie]

2. Just saw Darin Ruf was DFA

San Francisco got J.D. Davis and three prospects in the trade last year -- highway robbery.

[dem4decades]

6. He never hit for the Mets. Now that he's gone the Mets fans will have to

Find the next poor bastard that they'll hate.

[ificandream]

18. I was really disappointed when that trade was made.

Not so now. I was surprised at the way he tumbled. I wondered if the trade really did a number on him.

[rubbersole]

3. Twins will make the postseason.

I got a message from the wind.

[Auggie]

4. We're on!

[El Supremo]

5. Whoever takes best advantage of the pitch clock will win it all.

[Auggie]

9. And teams with speed

Larger bases and limited pick-off attempts will reward teams who can stretch for extra bases and attempt more steals. Speed will become an even more important factor on defense, infield and outfield.

[El Supremo]

11. Those may be good things.

Or certainly better that introducing a #&@% clock into baseball!

[Auggie]

12. Hate the clock

But nothing is worse than the ghost runner.

7. The Braves are deep

Tough lineup to pitch to and they're solid with the glove thanks to Washington. Their starting pitching rotation is one of the best in all mlb. It might take them a month or two to sort out their relief corps but that's the only weakness I've seen. Best of all, Snit knows how to use the talents he has to work with. Putting money in them to win it all, and Olsen as MVP.

8. The Cubs wil NOT disappoint their fans....

we don't expect much anyway....

[ProfessorGAC]

13. I Still See Them Above .500

Not much, but 83-85 wins.
They're not going to contend, but they won't suck.
That's my one & only MLB prediction. I don't pay enough attention to other teams to have a guess.

[bahboo]

14. I agree....

they're actually taking a reasoned approach to the rebuild....

[ProfessorGAC]

15. And, Hayden Wesneski Looks Awfully Good

That slider is NASTY!

[gab13by13]

10. The Pirates will lose 100 games.

[Brother Buzz]

16. All three west coast National league teams will in contention for the playoffs

One team will go deep into the playoffs, but my magic 8 Ball is kinda vague as to what team, and told me to ask again later.

[ificandream]

17. The A's will watch the World Series on TV. Again.

[Mr.Bill]

19. I think the Giants are well-positioned

for another year of mediocrity.

[Auggie]

20. Yeah ...

ironic how that 107 win season in 2021 screwed up the future. We knew a rebuild was needed. 2021 forced the Giants' to delay.

[Mr.Bill]

21. There were so many good players available

this season, and the Giants seem to just not want to spend the big money to get them. This is notheing new, but it's hard to compete with teams who have a handful of players making eight figures.
