2020 Installment of MLB Bitchin' & Moanin'

Yep. If he had any defense in his game at all, he'd be firmly in the mix for MVP.

Jar, you saw him last year. Now that he plays for the ATL, I've now noticed that's one quirky bastard. I'd swear the man has Tourette's. From the time he leaves the on deck circle and all through his at-bats, he's doing the funky chicken.

Hope you guys can keep him, but I think he's about to get paid.

Weâ€™ve had a recent history of rent-a-slugger. They wonâ€™t pay him.

They roll five deep at left fielders.

AL starts today. NL starts tomorrow.

How did the Braves get the 11am Jefferson Pilot slot?

When they know youâ€™re going out early, you may as well play early and get it over with.

AL
Bluejays vs Devil Rays
Indians vs Yankees
Twins vs Houston
As vs White Sox

NL
Dodgers vs Brewers
Padres vs Cardinals
Cubs vs Fish
Braves vs Reds

Jays/Rays winner will play the Tribe/Yanks winner in ALDS. Twins/Houston vs As/Sox in the other ALDS

Dodgers/Brewers winner vs Padres/Cards in one NLDS, Cubs/Marlins and Braves/Reds in the other.

On the NL side, I'm going with Dodgers/Padres vs Cubs/Reds (sorry snags). In the AL, Rays/Yanks and Twins/As.

Can't wait to hear the Daves calling this one.

Doc Cantrell toes the rubber today for the Cubs. Hopefully bats are awake.

Cards throw Kim vs Paddack in Game 1. Waino, in maybe his last Cards game, in game 2, and Flaherty in game 3.

Not sure I'd wait until game 3 to throw Flaherty, I think he's the future ace, but Kim has had the numbers this year (3-0, 1.62 era), but his Ks/9 (5.5) and WHIP (1.02) don't give me warm fuzzies.

We won't get 4 hits today. Best overall hitting team in baseball this year.....until the playoffs.
