    It's going to be interesting for sure and I do think they'll add someone at the deadline. Hunter Brown is going to be key in the rotation. We'll hit

    It's going to be very hard to beat that 2019 team which may be the best team in MLB history to not win it all.

    However this team does have the potential to be special.

    One of the best things is that Framber, Javier, and Brown started strong then faded last year. If that happens again, it will be just as reinforcements should be arriving.

    As for the Yankees, the Astros are catching a break by missing Cole and them starting back to back lefties to begin a 2-0 start to the Astros season.

    I think they go 1-1 over the next 2 but both will be close games and I'm not sure which one is 4-3 and which is 3-4.

    they could edit this down to about 30 seconds and it would still be stupid.
    Not hyped by this Hype video. If I can't get pumped from a hype video it isn't that good.

    So much potential variance in our rotation. Which Framber are we going to get, is this the year that Verlander looks human, has Javier truly fixed his issue and are teams figuring him out like the Rangers did in the playoffs, will Brown figure out how to be consistent, will our pitchers get healthy, will JP keep on pitching above his tools, what BP guys will support Hader and Pressley, why did Abreu pitch like Montero during spring training. We could be amazing or NOT.

    I think Framber and Verlander will be fine. Whatever was going on with Framber mentally hopefully that's sorted and with Verlander he's just older. On Javier he's a wild card and Brown is too. On JP I admittedly don't have a ton of confidence. I do in our bullpen. I think Abreu was working on different pitches. Teams are going to be hard pressed to go through our bullpen. Let's see

    Yeah, they try so hard but they never seem to make a good hype video. Credit to them for using some of their own footage but they always fall short. Benondatop makes great videos but doesnt seem to have the time and is kinda annoying on twitter.

    When Pena and Meyers are the two "holes" in your lineup you're doing pretty good.
