2013 MLB Season Thread

I couldn't see Atlanta winning a 5 game series, but a 7 gamer absolutely. LA is too top-heavy.

I'll be very interested to see a Hudson-less Braves staff march into the playoffs. Can see it being one extreme or the other.

I really want Gattis' bat in the lineup for the postseason, though. When those bats are on, they are extremely dangerous.

Just heard Ryan Braun is going to go the full Lance Armstrong and confess what we all already know. Just fuck off already

[gunnar hendershow]

He won't apologize to your fantasy team though.

[Your Mom]

Still hurts

[Berober]

Strasburg

Tremendous.

I actually checked my team again yesterday. When I saw Midget picked up Soriano so I wasnt winning a single category that was the last straw. Though I made 2 great pick ups this season my team is dead

[gunnar hendershow]

Matt Harvey might be headed for Tommy John.

[The Buscher]

I feel sick. Just when things were finally looking up...

[gunnar hendershow]

Tommy John is more a rite of passage for young pitchers than anything else though. He gets it, comes back strong for his prime years.

[The Buscher]

I was thinking 2014 might finally be the year they can start to make a playoff push. They have a ton of money coming off the books this year, were going to have Harvey, Wheeler, and d'Arnaud for a full season, with Syndergaard and Montero being midyear call-ups.

But if they're missing Harvey for most or all of 2014, I just don't see it. The Braves are stacked and the Nationals can't possibly be this mediocre next year.

[Meacon Keaton]

Hey, can you at least wait until February before you start setting silly playoff expectations, Met fan?

[The Buscher]

While I'm always happy in February to finally get baseball started, I haven't truly had playoff expectations for the Mets since like 2010. I knew 2011-13 were going to basically just be there to try and set them on the right course while getting out from the horrendous contracts Minaya handed out. Harvey has been a joy to watch this season. I was going to go to the game on Thursday just to watch him pitch but now I probably won't bother. Glad I didn't get my tickets yet.

Alderson said there's still a chance he doesn't get TJS and that it's ultimately Harvey's call. But really, pretty much everybody who has tried to rehab without surgery ultimately got the surgery. I expect Harvey to get it.

[gunnar hendershow]

Rehabbing without surgery could take valuable time away from him and possibly cut into 2015.

Yeah, get the surgery right away.

Season series record:

Srartown Sweeties 16 - 16 Those Medlen Kids

Amazing.

[gunnar hendershow]

No one gets over!

Season series record:

Srartown Sweeties 16 - 16 Those Medlen Kids

Amazing.

Ugh. How am I suppose to know which one I like more?

[Toe]

Shitty news about Harvey. The Mets just cannot catch a break these days, can they?

[DMN in the House]

I have to admit, I'm super happy that the Dodgers are doing as well as they are. However, this whole attitude in LA that they've basically won the title already has me really worried that it's going to cause the team's downfall in the end. Yeah, Kershaw and Greinke going in a playoff series is hard to beat, but this whole city is counting our chickens before they hatch.
