With Opening Day just over the horizon, teams all around the league are gearing up for another pennant chase in hopes of being crowned this year’s World Series champion. Of course, there’s still another seven months to go before someone raises the Commissioner’s Trophy. Until the playoffs begin, teams will be focused on a smaller goal: winning their division. We’ll be conducting a series of polls to gauge who MLBTR readers believe is the favorite in each division. That series already covered the NL West, where the Dodgers were viewed as an overwhelming favorite, and will now move on to the NL Central. Teams are listed in order of their 2024 record.
Milwaukee Brewers (93-69)
The perennially underrated Brewers won the NL Central for a second consecutive year last season, finishing ten games up on the second-place Cubs and Cardinals. Impressively, they did so after losing both star manager Craig Counsell and ace right-hander Corbin Burnes the previous offseason. They’ll need to work that same magic to stay on top of their division this year after a winter that once again saw them part ways with major pieces. This time, longtime shortstop Willy Adames departed for San Francisco in free agency while the club traded star closer Devin Williams to the Yankees in exchange for prospect Caleb Durbin and southpaw Nestor Cortes.
Even without those stars, the Brewers could make some noise in a relatively weak division. A strong outfield anchored by Christian Yelich and Jackson Chourio figures to impress once again in 2025, and William Contreras has blossomed into a true star behind the plate. Meanwhile, veteran ace Brandon Woodruff is expected back sometime early this year after missing 2024 due to shoulder surgery, joining existing rotation pieces like Freddy Peralta and Aaron Civale to form a strong group. The club’s first challenge of the year will be getting through the early weeks of the season with a patchwork rotation, as each of Woodruff, Tobias Myers, DL Hall, Aaron Ashby, and Robert Gasser figure to open the year on the injured list.
Chicago Cubs (83-79)
After a second consecutive 83-79 finish in 2024, the Cubs made some major changes over the offseason. The club said goodbye to its longest-tenured player as Kyle Hendricks departed for Anaheim, replacing him in the rotation with southpaw Matthew Boyd, and swapped out Cody Bellinger for Kyle Tucker, a clear offensive upgrade that cost them third baseman Isaac Paredes to pull off. A reconstructed bullpen featuring Ryan Pressly, Ryan Brasier, Caleb Thielbar, and Eli Morgan looks strong on paper than the relief corps that was expected to be anchored by Adbert Alzolay and Hector Neris last year, as well. Despite those on-paper improvements, the Cubs face plenty of questions entering 2025. Matt Shaw, Pete Crow-Armstrong, and even Miguel Amaya offer plenty of upside at third base, in center field, and behind the plate respectively but none are surefire offensive contributors.
There’s still plenty to like, however. Tucker, Seiya Suzuki, and Ian Happ provide an incredibly strong floor in the outfield, and the addition of Justin Turner offers protection against a sophomore slump for 2024 standout rookie Michael Busch at first base while Nico Hoerner and Dansby Swanson figure to offer their perennially excellent defense alongside league average offense up the middle. Justin Steele and Shota Imanaga offer a quality one-two punch at the front of the club’s rotation, as well. It’s not too difficult to see a path back to the playoffs for the Cubs this year despite the questions, and adding a true star like Tucker ahead of his walk year could be the boost they need to recapture the division in 2025.
St. Louis Cardinals (83-79)
2024 was a mixed bag for the Cardinals, as they managed to get back over .500 following a disastrous 2023 campaign but saw both Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt fail to live up to expectations as they fell short of the playoffs once again. The struggles of the last two years prompted the Cardinals front office to put a focus on developing young players and parting ways with veterans this winter, though no-trade clauses wielded by Sonny Gray, Willson Contreras, and Arenado prevented that goal from coming to fruition outside of the departures of veterans like Goldschmidt and Kyle Gibson via free agency.
That’s left the Cardinals with a roster that looks simultaneously similar and slightly downgraded from last year. Phil Maton was the club’s only big league free agent addition this winter, offering a veteran set-up option for closer Ryan Helsley after Andrew Kittredge departed in free agency. Outside of that, the club’s moves were largely internal. Contreras replaced Goldschmidt at first base to make room for a catching tandem of Ivan Herrera and Pedro Pages, Matthew Liberatore is sliding into the club’s rotation from the bullpen, and the club appears committed to giving more regular opportunities to younger players like Jordan Walker, Nolan Gorman, and Alec Burleson. St. Louis’s hopes of finding success in 2025 likely hinge on those young players making the most of their opportunities this year and taking big steps forward.
Cincinnati Reds (77-85)
2024 was a deeply disappointed season in Cincinnati, as a club that many expected to blossom instead fell apart in the face of injuries all over the roster. Strong performances from stars Elly De La Cruz and Hunter Greene aside, there were few positive takeaways from last season. Fortunately, the club made substantial changes ahead of the 2025 season. They got things started in October by hiring future Hall of Famer Terry Francona to manage the club, and since then they’ve added Gavin Lux, Taylor Rogers, Jose Trevino, and Brady Singer in free agency while bringing back Nick Martinez and signing Austin Hays.
It was a busy offseason that added a number of solid complimentary pieces, all of whom should help the Reds avoid a total collapse like they suffered last year. Even so, the club will need better health from its core players to contend. The return of Matt McLain should offer a big boost, while healthy seasons from TJ Friedl in center field, Jeimer Candelario at third base, and Nick Lodolo in the rotation could be game changing as well. The pieces appear to be in place for brighter days in 2025, but whether that will be enough to get the Reds back to the postseason for the first time in a 162-game season since 2013 remains to be seen.
Pittsburgh Pirates (76-86)
Pittsburgh hasn’t finished above fourth place in the NL Central since 2016, and even a full season from reigning NL Rookie of the Year Paul Skenes won’t be enough to pull the club back into postseason contention on its own. The Pirates had a relatively quiet offseason this winter as they brought Andrew Heaney into the rotation alongside the additions of Spencer Horwitz and Tommy Pham to the lineup but made few additions beyond that trio. Those additions join a solid enough nucleus that includes Skenes, Jared Jones, Mitch Keller, Oneil Cruz, and Bryan Reynolds, but a lineup light on impact and a bullpen still anchored by David Bednar even after a 5.77 ERA season last year raise questions about the club’s ability to compete before even considering the fact that Jones and Horwitz are both presently nursing injuries.
That’s not to say there’s no hope for the Pirates this year, however. Skenes is perhaps the best young pitcher in the entire sport, and even if Jones misses time Keller, Heaney, and Bailey Falter make for a solid rotation that should keep the club in most games. A big season from Horwitz once he returns from the IL along with steps forward for young players like Cruz, Endy Rodriguez, and Nick Gonzales could lift the lineup well above its projections even if the club continues to get little value from former 1-1 pick Henry Davis, and Bednar returning to the form he showed in his previous back-to-back All-Star campaigns would go along way as well.
__________________________________________
It was a fairly busy offseason in the NL Central, and while the division still appears weaker at the top than its rivals on the coasts it nonetheless stands out as the only one in the National League where all five clubs are making some attempt to contend in 2025. Will the Brewers be able to hold onto the division crown for a third consecutive season? Will an up-and-coming club like the Cubs or Reds take a big enough step forward to wrest control? Or, perhaps, the Cardinals or Pirates will get the steps forward from young pieces necessary to surprise? Have your say in the poll below:
I’m forever the optimist and I think this is the year the stars align and the Cincinnati Reds take the NL Central. They will finish with a record of 93-69 with Francona winning NL Manager of the year. Hunter Greene will finish Top 5 in Cy Young voting and Elly De La Cruz will finish Top 5 in NL MVP voting.
I’m prepared to be roasted for my prediction but I’m good with that because nobody pays me to make predictions. Hope everybody has a fantastic Opening Day tomorrow and to my fellow Reds fans enjoy the Parade and the victory tomorrow afternoon at Great American Ballpark.
It’s as likely to happen as any other scenario. I didn’t even answer the poll because I think anything can happen here. I think any team could win it except the Cardinals who mysteriously could win it but have chosen not to for some reason. There I said it.
The pirates, reds, or cardinals caynt I said CAYNT win it. There. I said it buster.
There’s not a team that “CAYNT” say “CAYNT.” There are teams that can say “can’t.” But they are illiterate.
I agree Joe. I considered the Cubs, but voted for the Reds. I think with their talent they’ll avoid last season’s bad luck and surprise us.
Cubs could have spent some more money to distance themselves from the rest of the division (on paper) but the Ricketts fartknockers chose not to…again. I’m rooting for the Cubs but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Reds surprise some people.
I have been watching the Cubs, and rooting for them, since 1960. Often the general expectations for them entering the season have been wrong, but I don’t think they have ever been this wrong. The Cubs are going to finish last, well below .500. Their rotation of soft-tossers will regress, their bullpen of washed-up vets will fail, and, most of all, their hitters will continue to leave the population of a small country on the bases. They are a remarkably homogenous team–all the same kind of player, in terms of playing style and also in terms of racial/ethnic and socioeconomic background. That last might seem irrelevant, but it’s not–because it is part of the reason they are so smug and complacent, and so unable to handle what athletes like to call “adversity.” They will start bad (actually, they already have), and they will never recover.
The Brewers will probably win the division; they lost some pieces but got some back too. If they falter, and their pitching is a little iffy, I think the Reds will, especially if the best player in the division, Elly de la Cruz, stays healthy. Or the Cardinals, who were 12 games better in 2024 than they were in 2023, might improve further and sneak in. The Pirates will probably be down near the bottom with the Cubs.
Ha, would love to wager on this
I’d like to know where you *specifically* disagree with my analysis. Which areas of the team am I under-rating, in your opinion?
You’re a racist idiot. Just stop
You seem to think that talking about race equals being a racist. That is illogical and incorrect. But surely I can’t change your mind, and why would I want to? Watch a Cubs game some time. You’ll see that the opposing team has some black players; the Cubs have none. You can explain that any way you want to, but my explanation is that the Cubs mgmt doesn’t want black players on the team.
I am going to stop, because I’ve made my point. But not because I am cowed by your childish name calling. I wish you better knowledge and a kinder heart as you grow older.
So you are another anti white person with this nonsense rhetoric. The team is filled with players who give them the best chance to win. MLB teams don’t need to follow DEI when it comes to constructing a ball club. If you hate the Cubs so much go be a white sux fan.
The brewers are lacking at every position group, the Reds are young on the position side and their pitching other than Greene is mid at best, the Pirates are weak everywhere except the TOR, and the dead birds will continue their rapid decline to the cellar where they belong.
Kyle Tucker is the best player in the NL Central, not de la Cruz. PCA, Shaw and Busch are the nucleus of a great young core for the Cubs. Their farm system is still loaded with up and coming talent, and they have plenty of money to go out and get big additions at the traded deadline. Sandy Alcantara will look great in Cubs blue when he is traded to the north side in July.
You got me wrong. I love the Cubs and I hope I’m wrong about their chances. And I’m not interested in DEI over merit. I just think there are a lot of dark-skinned players of merit who could have made the Cubs a better team, and for some reason Hoyer never seems to pursue them. And my point about the uniformity of life experience–none of them were ever poor–being a bug among Cubs players is a subtle sociological one that I wish you would at least think about. There is some validity to it. These are spoiled kids who never have faced real adversity, and that matters. They are so minded that they think good things will just come to them.
As for your analysis of the opposition, well, I hope you are right. Some of it seems very superficial to me.Some of your characterizations of Cubs players seem over-optimistic. We’ll see. I agree Alcantara would be a good add for the Cubs.
Most guys that Jed targets via draft are Christians from what I have heard in their interviews. It is pretty consistent.
So I don’t see it as a race based decision process but a faith and humility targeted approach
LOL. Jed is Jewish, btw.
Kyle Tucker over de la Cruz? Contract and team control aside you would take Tucker this year over de la Cruz??
Apparently he would. It’s nuts. Some of our fellow Cubs fans have invested Tucker with qualities he doesn’t have. He is a good player, a very good player–but he is not the difference-making presence we have been led to expect. Brett Taylor and other propagandists have misled us.
Jackson Chourio finishes with far better stats and higher in the MVP vote than your “best player in the NL Central.”
True. The Brewers will be very good too. From the point of view of those of us who are Cubs fans, the Cubs’ problem is that they don’t have a Chourio or a de la Cruz. For whatever reason–and I have taken a lot of flak for suggesting that part of the reason might be a kind of “soft” racism on Hoyer’s part–the Cubs don’t seem even to try to roster players who could match up well with stars like them.
Apples to oranges
That’s the Counsell way of putting together a roster. Same as it was in Milwaukee.
I picked the Reds too. But sorry to predict they’re going to start the season 0-3.
The Reds are stacked
I have them taking division handedly
No roasting from me. Tito simply never loses. The only issue I see for the Reds is that they are thin, like many small-market teams. I think they have the requisite number of bodies to man the 15 key positions, but as injuries happen, I don’t think they can cover them.
And, of course, Diaz?
TERRY (calling him “Tito,” his father’s name, is too cutesy for my tastes) did lose once–in 2016! :)
Alan, my mom had a saying that was perfect for you and your moronic comments. “Go soak your head”. That’s too diplomatic for someone whose sole reason for posting seems to be to stir up trouble. Moron
No, you have me wrong. I am not trying to stir up trouble. I am sincere. I really mean what I say. I could be mistaken, but my ideas are honest ones. And the issue of whether race, however subliminally, has an effect on roster construction is a valid thing to talk about–even if we conclude, as I hope we will, that it does not.
It hurts my feelings that you called me a moron. (It also means I did not communicate well, because whatever I am, I am not stupid, and I am a very good, and much-published. btw, writer.)
I think you are very mean. I hope you are not that way in “real life” to friends, family, girlfriend or boyfriend or spouse, etc.
Of course, Francona has never had a winning season managing in the NL.
I picked the Reds too.
Because of John Mozeliak’s mismanagement of acquiring quality players over the past 5-6 seasons as president of baseball…… in addition to him being a Ghost over this past offseason and only signing one middle ranged relief pitcher —- I see them dead last.
However —- I pick my Cardinals to finish as a contender NL Central — “IF” Nolan Arenado has an All-Star, MVP type season and the Cardinals young pitchers surprise us.
Everyone is dissing the Cardinals, but if you look at their lineup…it has a lot of hitting in it. If the rotation can hold up, the Cards, who, everyone seems to forget, won 12 more games in 2024 than they won in 2023, could easily add a few more wins to that and be in the thick of the race at the end.
It has become the thing to ridicule the Cardinals, especially among Cubs shills like the egregious Brett Taylor–but they are definitely going to win more games than the Cubs win, and maybe by a lot.
Cardinals have the worst rotation in the division
Maybe in baseball
You’re right, it’s not great. We’ll see.
I always thought this guy Liberatore had promise. Apparently he is getting his chance.
If only the Pirates rotation could merge with the Cardinals lineup and bullpen.
Like the old WW1 draft days lol
Prediction: 5-way tie …each team will finish with a stout 83-79. Then it’s tiebreaker chaos, some coin flips, smoky backroom dealings…then they might come up with a division winner and Commisioner Moonbeam will inevitably screw it up.
This is the ultimate dream scenario
That would be awesome, except for the last part.
It would be better if they all tied with a losing record and the coin flip team went on to win the World Series.
Reds pitching gonna break out in 2025!
I think they’ll win the central in 26
Couldn’t bring myself to vote against the Brewers.
I can’t argue with your vote. Wouldn’t surprise me.
Because the brewers are so reliable
Everything that could have went wrong for PIT did last year and they still won 76 games. They had the lowest production in MLB at 1B, 3B, CF, and RF. SS lead MLB in errors. Bednar was a disaster. Hayes injured. Suwinski and Davis imitating Mendoza. 5 right fielders combined for like -33 WAR.
Team totally collapsed at the deadline, but don’t see that happening this season with an incredible rotation in AAA Indy w/4 top prospects and 2 proven starters rehabbing (Oviedo, Jones).
Not predicting them to win the division, but taking the OVER on wins is easy money.
Have you watched them play baseball?
Do you suddenly see production out of all those positions you mentioned? Because i don’t. Waste of solid starting pitchers with Bubba on the way as well. The Bucs won’t be hitting any win total, either…. at least not until Shelton is replaced
I say 69-72 wins
Just where are the runs going to come from?
Poorly managed team that doesn’t hustle and ignores refining the fundamentals. Yes, they have Skenes. Can he pitch 80 games this year?
Jones is out indefinitely. Keller is up and down
Reynolds has been their only consistent player
I’m a fan that goes back to the Murtaugh era but this team did nothing to address their needs this off season
Although I voted for the Brewers, I can see a reasonable scenario where the Reds could win. The Cubs? Nope, no depth. Pirates and Cards occupy the bottom.
Jean-Claude;
A good chance Francona can have them competing for a playoff spot come the stretch run in late-August. But the Brewers are deep in young talent; have a terrific manager and coaching staff; play strong fundamental baseball; and their FO is smart so they’ll make the necessary moves as the season progresses to get over the inevitable injuries along with some players have unexpected bad seasons.
A fun division to watch play in 2025.
I’ve yet to hear any valid reason for anyone picking the Cardinals in the bottom. They were over 500 last season and lost nothing of value in the offseason.
Every year you pick someone else besides the Brewers and every year its the Brewers
People love to underestimate the brewers. They always say “I wouldn’t underestimate the brewers”, and then they still do. I picked them because I’m a brewers fan. But I know the cubs have a capable team, and with Francona now at the helm of the reds, if anyone can push them over the ledge into contention, it’s probably him. Though as someone pointed out, cubs depth doesn’t seem the greatest.
That’s why I picked the Brewers. I see it as theirs until someone unseats them.
The best thing about the Brewers was Mr. Baseball. Now nobody cares outside a five mile radius of Milwaukee. When was their last world title?
Baseball nights in the Midwest are the best! Epic radio, excellent fans and fierce rivalries.
I don’t know why the Brewers were sellers this offseason? Their moves don’t make much sense. The Cubs were the clear winners of the offseason. I’d say the Cubs have a lot of pressure on them this year. The NL Central is truly a horrible division. I doubt anyone else will win above 70 games this coming season. If the Cubs don’t win the central, their entire coaching staff and front office should be fired, and they should start dumping salary and try to rebuild. It would be an absolute, pathetic disaster for the Cubs not to win the Central this year, and one of the biggest shockers in the last ten years. Cubs win the central and win 85 games.
Please look at the NL Central standings on Sept. 29 and remember that you said you doubted anyone besides the Cubs would win more than 70 games.
I don’t know why the Brewers were sellers this offseason?
Because they weren’t. They could win the division. No team should be under 70 wins. Cards Pirates could make a run at it. Probably sneak over though.
Just because the no central doesn’t have a clear loser (Rockies, athletics, marlins or whitesox) feeding wins to other teams doesn’t make them terrible
The brewers weren’t really sellers. They traded Devin Williams like basically everyone knew they would, since he’d be leaving via free agency at seasons end. The brewers tend to trade people they know they can’t retain in free agency to help keep building. And they had someone who basically closed 2/3 of last season while Williams was injured anyways, so they should be fine. But that was the only really notable trade.
The brewers weren’t really sellers.
==========================
I basically said the same thing. If a team has a reasonable alternative at closer, and they add a decent starting pitcher, I don’t see how it is a downgrade.
Adames left via free agency, so his departure doesn’t count as them being sellers. Everyone knew that was going to happen as well.
The Brewers weren’t sellers this offseason.
They traded from the strength of their team, bullpen (Williams) to improve the weakness of their team, the rotation (Cortes).
The young core, Mitchell-Chourio-Frelick-Turang-Perkins-Ortiz should improve as a whole because of further development. Hoskins is now 2 years from his knee surgery. Contreras in his 4th year at 27 years of age, and Yelich, healthy and likely to play 140 games again.
Defense is otherworldly which will help the pitching, which is incredibly deep in starters and relievers. 3B, imo, is a weakness, along with lack of quality IF depth, but as Samuel has already stated, they have a brilliant FO that will fix the weaknesses of their team team with astute moves throughout the season.
SadMsFan
I don’t know why the Brewers were sellers this offseason?
===============================
That’s because they weren’t sellers. They traded Williams for Cortes+. Starting Cortes, and letting Megill replace Williams as the closer will be a net gain, imho.
All the Brewers do is win 90+ games per year, what planet are u living on…. Garret Mitchell is a freaking stud, do u know who that Is!? The Crew have the youngest 20/20 guy EVER, nobody cares…. Best catcher in baseball…. Nobody cares…. Year after year best NL bullpen…. Nobody cares…. Best team defense…. Nobody cares…. Fastest/most athletic team…. Nobody cares…. Hoskins hit six dingers in his first what 35abs this spring and finally seems himself again…. Nobody cares…. What a bunch of worthless blind pantywaste/pantyhose trying to cover up all the ugly for your gross demon driven gazillionaires running your “teams”…. Way to “buy” into their crap…. But just an “fyi” Jesus is real and God dictates reality, u don’t get to just crap in a whole and be mad fruit trees don’t grow from it, but if u try guess what…. More failure so surprise surprise…. get your S**T together…. The cubs have spent enough to possibly give the Crew “troubles” but with inevitable injuries seems the Reds/Francona might be the biggest thorn in the Crews side this year however, the main “point” here is not everyone has an opinion, actually nobody does…. There’s only fact/truth, and not fact/truth, so get yourself aligned with God and the real Truth and stop going around spewing crap that makes u nothing more than a fraud/imposter, that’s a good start…. Enough with all this what “I think” blah blah…. How about what actually happened/is happening for a change cause guess what “Lola” was/is a man and there’s no changing that, it’s just the way God made it, Thank God for that, whew!!
Brewers! The starting pitching will be better than last season, the bullpen could regress, sure, a little, but all the talent is all still there other than the notable departure of Williams. Hoby Milner leaving is addition by subtraction. Offensively they look 100% better than last season. A fully Healthy Yelich, Hoskins and Mitchell, the best catcher in the league, steps forward for Chourio, Ortiz, Turang and Frelick make them possibly the top offense in the Central. Certainly the most disruptive to opposing pitchers. Betting against them is just silly at this point. We should have learned our lesson by now.
Very very well said….
HahahahahahahHa
Milwaukee’s not the flashiest, but their structural resilience and timing exploit the NL Central’s chaos, making them a 60% favorite to win despite the headlines.
Let’s Go Bucs
Cincinnati Reds will be NL Central Div champ.
Why can’t I vote for the Rockies again?
The Cardinals will shock the world with 101 wins. John Tudor will have 10 shutouts Coleman 110 steals Willie McGee will be MVP. Oh wait that was 1985.
Substitute Liberatore, Scott and Winn. And start smoking now.
Cardinals shock the world with 95 wins to take the division. GO CARDS!
Someone got their Nintendo out and started playing RBI Baseball. That was a fun Cardinals team.
Why can’t I vote for the Dodgers? They’re supposed to win everything aren’t they?
Brewers run away with the division. Chourio proved he’s the real deal at 20 and should have 20pct better numbers than last season at minimum. Milw is excellent on the bases at least 5 players over 20 SB with Chourio over 35.
Woodruff was a top 15 SP in Baseball before injury is a bigger addition than losing Adames. Young team and projection always seem to ping the players 10-15pct lower projections.
Can I have what you’re smoking?
Smoking is bad mmKay.
Voting for the reds is hysterical lol
Does it matter? It’ll be really competitive, but not like any of these teams are trying. Worst division in baseball….
Not even close. The NLC played over .500 last year. And their worst team, the Pirates, had the best last-place record in BB.
Great, they all finished around .500 last season. Even their best teams are mediocre….
You confuse mediocrity with worst which btw is the AL Central.
Brewers Cubs Reds Pirates Cardinals that order. Cubs get WC
I know who won’t win the division, the Pirates with their pathetic offense. They made little attempt to correct their deficiencies in the off season so they show they don’t even care about winning.
I’d enjoy seeing the Pirates win it, but I voted for the Cubs. I think Tucker makes a huge difference for them.
My prediction for 2025 is similar to my call in 2024. Just flipping the Reds and Cardinals. It’s a mediocre division. All it takes is a team to stay relatively healthy and get a career year or two. The Cubs manage to pull through with an 86-76 record.
1st Cubs
2nd Brewers 4 out
3rd Red 5 out
4th Cardinals 8 out
5th Pirate 9 out
The Cubs make the playoffs but are eliminated early. One round and done. Now let’s sit back and enjoy baseball.
Brewers have a deep, solid BP.
Adequate SP.
Solid defense.
Is the offense enough?
Its Baseball season, its going to be fun!
Cardinals shock the world and take the division.
Let’s go!
Need a lot out of the younger players that didn’t show up in 2024.
Still waiting on the over hyped farm systems in Iowa and Tennessee to produce. But in the meantime it is fun reading the NorthSide fantasy team wishes and hopes put together by Epstein’s coffee boy.
jhanley- Epstein’s coffee boy- That’s a spot on description of what he is. Can I steal that! It’s perfect. Which makes Hawkins Hoyer’s coffee boy. I had him filling the toilet paper holders but he probably can fit both into an 8 hour day.
Sure.
Buckle up, it’s going to be a great season.
Every year, everybody underrates the Brewers. All the experts had them finishing below .500 because they traded away Burnes. They are saying the same thing this year because of Adames and Williams. That’s okay. Pick against them and we’ll see you in the playoffs.
There are people that exist that actually voted for the Pirates here.
I’m always happy to see great baseball being played in Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and Milwaukee. Great baseball towns that deserve great baseball teams.
Don’t look now. Birds have a commanding lead.
Reds are still one power hitter and one closer away from contention.
