I don't know about that.  The bad teams seem to do better against the Giants

Well Royals were up 2-0. Seems like they have an early lead in most games. Then bullpen chokes it away. Will watch game tonight with SF as no NBA or NHL playoffs.

@JohnS. Do u get to catch many Mets games in Oz?. I noticed they are on TV tonight against Brewers. Also saw Scherzer and de Grom have started throwing again. My Royals most likely will be swept today in SF. Day game

[Chas.Alpha]

Looks like the defending champion Braves are interested in defending the title!

Getting hot now is fun.  Getting hot in the fall is what matters.

Yes, I do catch them. Admittingly, I don't watch every game at the moment as June is a very busy time for my work year. Also, it's not easy as a Mets fan to wait for them to 'fall off the cliff' at some point in the season. Right now, they're doing the best they can and that's all a fan can ask for. Of course, I would like their Team ERA to go down and naturally it's gone up since Scherzer was injured but their hitting has lifted to make up for it, combined with better defence in the field.

Yankees are on pace to go 120-42. Who really thinks they can keep winning at this clip? Injuries to Judge, Stanton or other key players is bound to happen one would think. Very impressive in the meantime.

Yup--agreed.

If Stanton could actually stay healthy for a whole season he would prove that he is the most dangerous hitter in baseball.   He is very streaky which is why he needs to stay healthy for a long stretch to show his true talent.   Stanton can be totally fooled on a pitch and still hit check swing homers--off the charts amazing.

You guys gotta ditch LaRussa first. He's a liability

Havent really followed Cubs this year although they are my fave NL team. Their record almost as bad as my Royals!

Oh we're terrible. It's gonna be a long rebuild, but there are some flashes of hope on the horizon...maybe

I have seen a couple games when on ESPN. Yeah definitly a long rebuild. I like Ross and hope he survives it

[Ford2112]

This just in: The San Francisco Giants can't even beat the Diamondbacks. What happened to our pitching. Bullpen is shite. Defense atrocious. No run support. It's been pretty ugly .

It won't make you feel any better but remember, a baseball season is very long and full of peaks and troughs, triumphs and failures. These days, all that really matters is two things:

1) Get your team somehow to the postseason and...

2) Ensure that your team has momentum and is in peak form at the end of the season (The Washing Nationals and Atlanta Braves can attest to this of recent times).

[Ford2112]

It will be interesting to see what they do at the trade deadline. And yes John I was a fan of the giants long before we ever won a championship in San Francisco so I'm used to the adversity lol

[rjake100]

@Ford2112 I wanted to see Rodon vs Cueto in last weekend's series.  As luck would have it neither made an appearance.

[Kaptain Karl]

My comments about the Giants in April sure didnt age well!

[KCCubano]

@JohnS Your Mets have big series with Braves. Glad game on national tv here in the states. A pitchers duel between the two Max's. Scherzer and Fried. 

[JohnS]

Haha...I was going to say that at least we know that Max will be guaranteed the win, except that I remembered that the game could be won by the relief pitching. Anyway, I hope Max gets the win and pitches well!
