Even a gentleman from the complete other side of the world recognizes groundless bombast when he reads it.

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 i

Harps .220 MVP season coming up. 

Maybe, but at 1.00 homers per game so far ......

But really, it'll be one D. Murphy for the MVP.  And which team declined to keep him?  :whistle:

If the Reds win this afternoon to go 2-1, I'm canceling the rest of the season. Just a heads up.

As an Indians fan I'm loving this season so far! Solid pitching rotation, improved lineup over last season, cant wait to see how it will shake out this summer! I'd love to see 95-100+ wins out of this team.

Their bullpen is one of the best in baseball.

When you can tell your starters to go 6 innings because we have 5 shutdown guys in the pen. That is a big weight off their shoulders. 

The Indians almost beat the Cubs with out two of their three best pitchers. 

Only Boston is the real threat to them in the AL.

All bravado aside, I'm liking the National's start.  Two good starts by the pitchers, Harper hitting well after an off year, and an inexperienced closer getting a couple of saves.  Its a long long way to go, but its nice to start well.

My prediction is that the Cubs either repeat as WS Champs, or, they do not.

I gotta admit, I'm still liking the Nationals start.  Best record in baseball at this early stage of the season, 6-0 on their road trip (including 3-0 from the mostly disabled Mets).  Starting pitching is routinely excellent, hitting is very good, and even the bullpen seems stabilized.  What's not to like?

I haven't been paying much attention to baseball, but it looks like NL Central is about as competitive as the AL Central so far - which is to say that even though neither teams is winning, they're both just a few games out.

It's a long season and I'm not ready to give up, but the Tigers seem to just be going through the motions right now... not a lot of energy.

      Day 153: putted for a while using the 2 cups drill inside. Working on bead primarily. Contact was really good.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Day 8: 12/17/2024 Okay I took my new PPJ swing thought to the range today. I wasn't sure I was quite ready to do so, but I'm glad I did.  When I got it right it was good... really good. When I got it wrong it was a major fail. I hit lots of really ugly ones. But I didn't let that deter me. I stayed committed and focused on the PPJ and I avoided any temptation to go back to what I was doing before just so that I could "look" better at the range. I'm pretty excited about what I saw when I got it right.  I hit the 6 iron mostly (nearly all block work today). I also hit about 6 balls each with the PW, 8I, 5W and Driver. Those had varying degrees of success. I did crack one drive that let me feel and see what the changes will look like once I get fully trained.  Anyway, I'm going to go back to the mirror work for a couple of more days before bringing it back to the range. I do feel like if I can get this right my swing will improve a lot. So I think its worth the effort. I liked the way it looked on GEARs when I get it right, and I like the results I got at the range when I got it right. Now the goal is to work towards getting it right more often.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      I'm sure you are correct.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By Ty_Webb ·

      So I think it's that they can't just bend the shaft or hosel to get it to a new lie angle. They adjust that and it changes the weighting, so they have to then adjust all the weights to get it balanced again. I get the impression that it's a bit of an iterative process and they do it all in the US, so they're paying US labor costs to build it and make it work how it's supposed to. Whether you believe in the tech or not, I think that's a true statement.

      Ah, the old EE in the backswing move. Chest going back and staying down doesn't help.
