    Who is excited for the baseball season?

    I am.

    I'll be excited for about a week. Maybe two.

    And then it turns into a slow, daily grind. And we will all be aching for football by May.

    I just got excited reading some stuff tonight. Phillies should at least be entertaining this year for the first time in 5 years.

    Unfortunately I will be.

    Wish I could be excited for baseball, but the Mariners have no shot at success again.

    I think the Mariners will be decent.

    But I think that every year.

    Hey, Dane. You don't play poker at 5dimes, do you?

    Someone had the name Dane in their handle. I instantly thought of you. Naked.

    Give you a little inside on a team you'll want to bet early on. Hit the Rockies about the 1st month until the bookies catch up. They will make a run this year and should come out very cheap on the moneyline the 1st 4 weeks. After that who knows.

    He may have given up a chance at a bigger payday down the road though. Second baseman with some pop. Kid has really taken some leaps over the past 2 years. By all accounts a really hard worker who just continues to improve all the time. I like Cesar Hernandez but it looks like they have found their guy for the future and are willing to hand over the keys now.

    Kingery will be in Marwin Gonzalez role. Hernandez has like a .370obp. They’d be dumb to sit him

    Is Vladimir Guerrero Jr going to make the team?

    He's only 19, but already looks like a stud.

    What surprise teams do we have out there? I need some teams that haven’t been good in a while to root for. It’s been nice lately. Been enjoyable to see the Royals, Cubs, and Astros win. Gotta root for the teams in a slump.

    Pretty sure they will try to play guys at different positions. Kapler isn’t afraid to move guys around.

    i'm a rockies fan and i think this year will be a down year think they will finish 4th in west just ahead of padres, starting pitching is not good enough bullpen is decent but the lineup has some holes very surprised they brought declining cargo back i don't do many future bets but i'm very confident rockies aren't going to win 82 games this year in a tough nl west with la arizona and san fran better

    I'm always excited for baseball season. Was always my first love and the sport I played growing up so I always look forward to opening day and follow the season closely every year.
