Major League Baseball 2013

It's that time...

The smell of freshly cut grass. The cold beer and luke warm hotdogs.

Lets keep it light and friendly. Good luck gents, and **** yeah baseball is BACK!

You can keep your luke warm hot dogs, pass the cheese steaks.

Why all the love for the Halos? Who is in their pitching lineup?

Time amd time again pitching > bats

Weaver, Wilson, Hanson is decent, Blanton won't be terrible...

Having Trout, Pujols, and Hamilton in the same lineup goes a long way IMO.

 

[Devious_Snake]

Yankees did pretty well in the regular season with decent pitching but great bats....JMO

I honestly think the healthy line up of the Rangers the past 2 years is better than what the Halos have now. Hamilton is going to beast.

Ps. Wilson sucked last year and will continue to do so.

Yeah and that's how the Phillies won the 2008 WS too. They didn't have great pitching back then. Now, with their pitching...where has that gotten them?

Rangers have a solid lineup but it doesn't come near to what the Angles bring to the table. They have the best leadoff man in baseball and have 3 big bats batting 3,4,5. The team that is a dark horse is the A's IMO. Watch out for them.

I agree about the A's. I am still not buying the Halo's. Like I said, behind Weaver...there is no one. Texas is still the team to beat in the West.

But who do the Rangers have behind Darvish? I think you're under rating Wilson a bit. I see a strong bounce back year coming from him.

Harrison has always been pretty good for us. I believe he was 18-11 with a 3.29 ERA

YU 16-9 w/ 3.90 ERA
Holland 12-7 w/ 4.67 ERA

They also still have Lewis, and are still developing Feliz, Orgando, Ross.

Future is bright in Texas.

 

[Dominion]

You can talk in here noobie. This isn't just a thread for hot chicks, although I don't mind. :rockon:

 

[RicerEater2012]

Texas is a scary team. I dislike having to play them. lol

haha ya i was in the process of typing that ^

I agree the furture is bright for Texas but the present is even brighter for the Angles.

Edit:

I'm happy to see Profar and Olt make the team.

 

[venom_inc]

Yes, welcome! :beer:

Glad to see another NL fan here, we need more of us.
