MLB 2025 Discussion Thread (Current Champions: Los Angeles Dodgers)

Hopefully we will see growth, with progressing in the Postseason. Not sure Schnit is a real manager.

On another note, I see the Dodgers lost late.....

Yeah. That was a surprise. Shows you how you never know what will happen. The two teams with the best records in National League are out.

The Nationals are one win away from the World Series and I can honestly say I never expected that. I guess Bryce Harper was the one holding them back after all.

Same here. They are playing some good baseball right now. Hope they can keep it going if they make it to WS.

Homefield advantage in the National League? 0-3 as ALL lost

Harper ...... he watches from home

I'd like to see them win the World Series. The Washington DC fans have suffered enough with the NFL Redskins.....they deserve a break

Harper should have stayed.

I hope they win as well. I like Houston and I’m glad they have been giving the Yankees what for. But, I have to stick with NL in the WS.

Game 1 tonight. Anyone have a strong feeling one way or the other on who comes out on top when it is all said and done?

 

[Dead2009]

I'm hoping Houston wins it again.

 

[SteveBrickNJ]

How 'bout those Nats!

I've been away from this thread a bit @MattC
I would've said the Nationals but I have no way to prove it.
I think they are DESTINED to win it. The Cinderella Team. Break out all the cliches. They are just meant to win. It's in the CARDS....or....they beat the Cards

 

[SteveBrickNJ]

What the heck! How could the home team lose in all 5 games?

 

[MattC]

Yeah. Crazy stuff happening.

 

[SteveBrickNJ]

Yeah. Crazy stuff happening.

It's almost like I jinxed the Nats. As soon as I came on this thread and praised them they came home and lost 3 in a row

Please keep praising Nats please!

 

[Dad 2 M & M]

Started comparing him to Greg Maddux? I see it now........

 

[Dead2009]

The Nats are probably glad Harper went elsewhere cause he was apparently the one holding them back.

I can't find the link but I heard a MLB prospect and minor leaguer died recently in his hotel room in either Australia or New Zealand.
