The 2017 world champion mets have retained the services of Jay Bruce. Its over.

Apparently its official, the Mets have won the off-season.  Of course, the Redskins have won the off-season regularly over the past 2 decades, and look how many championships they've won.  For me, I'm going to let them play a few games before I call the rest of the National's season off.

Well for appearance sake, yeah. Don't want to disappoint the opening day crowds.

Losing Fowler will hurt them more than their fans care to admit. Now they dont have much choice but to play Heyward erryday.

Man, I hope Heyward is getting it figured out this off-season.  He had one hell of a hitch in that swing last year...4-6-3 all day.

Hes had that hitch since he came up with the braves. I find it amazing he still hasn't adjusted to the way he's pitched now. But i saw a video of him swinging a few months ago with "changes". It looks like he's keeping the barrel in the zone longer,  but he still hangs his hands long and raises them up to load. Thats where the hole comes from.

Haha saw that one too...thought it was strange to release something like that when things weren't looking too different.  From my playing days, it always felt like the world was ending going through even just an 0 fer 10 streak.  Can't imagine what he's felt, especially with that contract.  He's an athletic specimen, and will be fun to watch if he gets it together!

I played through college, and i felt the same too. 0-10 feels really bad when you're only playing 45-50 games a season :D 

Until Heyward adjusts his approach, pitchers are just going to keep throwing him that high strike. He just cant get to that ball with any consistency. At least if he's able to foul it off and then look for the down and away, it would be an improvement

I like Cleveland's chances after signing Edwin Encarnacion. He helps fill the desperate need for a consistent power hitter.

There you go!

It will be the Tribe in the AL, and we don't really care about who shows up in the NL! Plus, they've signed a couple of bullpen arms.

The Cubs may have been last years "ordained by God", but the Tribe still took them to 7+. Roll Tribe!

Were there any intentional walks yesterday or Sunday? That is one rule change I want to see.

2 former Tigers.  I'm a Detroit fan but don't think they'll stay healthy enough to compete. They have always lacked a bullpen and this year is no different.

I agree.

I don't think they made any significant off-season changes so there's little reason to believe things will change as far as the bullpen.

That AL Central is a tougher division than it was 3 or 4 years ago. Making the playoffs will be a challenge. They have the firepower offensively, a decent defense, and capable starting pitching. But the bullpen just can't seem to keep teams in check. And as you say, I don't think they have a lot of depth when starters get injured.

But... they still have Miggy, Verlander, Fulmer, Iglesias and others who are fun to watch. So there's that.

Well, if current trends hold up, the Nationals will go 162-0.

    • I'd just get the Stack Radar. I've never been totally comfortable with how it measures, those things. I think people put them in the wrong place. I think it's highly sensitive to where you swing… if you swing the tip end through the radar "beam" (it's not a beam, but you know what I mean I think), you get the true speed. But if you swing the spot 6" up the shaft through the beam, you get a much slower speed. For the wedge stuff alone I recommend the Stack Radar. Plus data entry is SOOO easy.
    • Does anyone else have the swing speed radar and had the experience of it going completely haywire? It’s been decent for me until the last 2 weeks. I’m now getting readings on back to back swings that are 20 mph off. I’m getting absolute garbage from it - I have to swing many times to get something close to right. The only thing that works (sometimes) is taking the batteries out. Here's the radar I'm talking about: Amazon.com : Swing Speed Radar - Achieve Longer Drives - Delivers Precise Golf Club Swing Speeds from 20 to 200 MPH. Master Consistency with Our US Made Doppler Radar Training Tool for Instant Speed Results : Golf Swing Trainers : Sports & Outdoors Thinking about just biting the bullet on a stack radar at this point.
    • Sorry, I missed your original post. Glad things are looking up with your wife's cancer. That's scary. Hope you can get back in to swing of things this year. I travel to Richmond quite a bit for son's soccer. I will reach out to see if we can get out together during one of the visits.
