MLB Season 2016

Guess they're waiting for the qualifying to finish. Not sure tbh. How great if it came to australia

Can't see it coming to Australia. I don't think the US and Latin American players would want to travel half-way across the world.

Was looking at buying a Sonny Gray t-shirt through Amazon since it's on special. Even after the currency conversion from USD to AUD, it seemed okay. But Amazon is proposing to charge me $73 for shipping & handling when the t-shirt itself cost $47! Never seen that before. Needless to say, I'm not buying it.

Don Mattingly institutes a no facial hair policy at the Marlins. Comparisons are instantly made to Mr Burns telling him to shave off his sideburns in "Homer at Bat".

After MLB on Facebook announced he had signed with the orioles for 3 years, Dexter Fowler takes 1 year with an option in 2017 with the Cubbies <3

Schwarber , Fowler, Heyward with Soler platooning in the outfield at the friendly confines..... its all looking very very positive on the North side

Cubs to win their division a "sure"ish thing?

i think there's going to be some very disappointed folks this year.
pirates and cards are still going strong.
Cincinnati are also campaigners who pull wins out of there arse against divisional opponents.

it'll be between the cubs pirates and cards but i think people are reading far too much into the end of season run.

bit harsh whoever banned you. Banning people for supporting the red birds i get, but the cubs?

Oh Yoenis.

Hahaha oh Cespedes. That's so bad haha.

 

[Sydney Bloods]

there's a man who doesn't give a shit about spring training.

 

[GreyCrow]

It may have something to with Cespedes and his WS effort. Maybe he was genuinely confused or wanted to test the rule

Cespedes is now a trivia question. In the space of 6 months who has allowed 2 IN Park HR?

[Jatz]

Ouch. Not sure you'd blame them for that!
