2018 Baseball Season Predictions

I haven't lost a game yet either.  Guess that makes ME staff ace.

Manny, they don't allow alcohol in the dugout....

Talent has never been an issue for Polanco, staying healthy has been however.  Polanco won't keep this pace up all year, but I think he can put together a nice season as long as he doesn't pull his hamstring again.

I'm a strictly Gatorade guy.  Until post-game relaxing.

McCutchen won't have 6 hits in the next 7 games. :))

Nice game for Cutch, but it's going to be Gerrit Cole who the Pirates miss more this season.  I think the Pirates can hit, but aside from Taillon in the rotation and Rivero in the bullpen, I'm not seeing much to get excited about.  Trevor Williams and Steven Brault have done alright, I suppose.  

Gerrit Cole through two games, 1-0 0.64 ERA 14 Innings pitched. 22 K's-3 BB's. 1 earned run allowed. 
That would look pretty good in the Bucs rotation this year.

Cole had an attitude his numbers would not be anything like they are through 2 games with the Astros. He never wanted to be in Pittsburgh the last 2 years because of the money thing.

Even a stubborn Gerrit Cole is better than Chad Kuhl, Trevor Williams ect.

Little more optimistic than me Hank.  That's why I like Opening Day, it always brings out hope.

I chose this because I'd be happier winning only 30 games than being just a few short. They'll get close to .500 just for us to be miserable.

This has become reality

I projected 76-86. They Pirates are 75-74 with 13 to play.  Looks like I'm going to be a bit off.
