Title: 2016 Season
Post by: TheNorm on February 18, 2016, 03:30:37 PM
Pitchers and catchers report for many teams (including the Detroit Tigers) today.  :woot:

Also, this is the first I've heard of this movie but I'm looking forward to it.

I'm worried because the Astros are being picked to win the division.
Other than that, really looking forward to this season.
Norm, I'm really interested in this flick too, although part of me worries it's going to focus more on the pitchers and their development of a fastball and not the total at bat scenario, which I find extremely engaging. I hope this is an avenue for the casual observer to understand how difficult it is to plan for a 90 mph fastball but instead find an 80mph curve ball breaking two feet down making you look a fool.

Forgot to throw out predictions on my club.
Actually I don't think they will be leaps and bounds better than last year. Could be, but central figures are big X factors so I'm saying 89 wins and will be battling the Rangers for the lead to the last series.
Watch out for the Cubs and Dodgers too.

Probably one of the best baseball games I've ever seen, and one of the best World Series ever...and in the conversation for one of the best sporting events I've watched.

This was great for the Cubs, the tribe and baseball.
