Post them here.

The Cubs look, comfortably, like the best team in baseball. The Mets look good. The Nats look good but haven't played anyone. The CWS look surprisingly really good.

There are some awesome young pitchers in the league right now. Last year was the coming out party for the young sluggers - I think this year is all about the 22/23 year old pitchers.

The Yankees all of a sudden look old and bad. I'm really surprised as I pegged them for a WC birth, though I'm not ruling them out completely just yet.

Noah Syndergaard is ridiculous.

Eric O'Flaherty is not a good pitcher.

Yankees can't pitch or hit... Bird going down was bad.... Didi isn't hitting at all, Castro slowed down after a hot start.

Team won't win this year

Nats are good, but are going to get better once Revere gets healthy and they finally call up Trea Turner.

Philly's turnaround has very impressive.

The NL wildcard race is gonna be awesome to watch down the stretch.

Astros are the worst team in the MLB and will continue to do so.

I am going to enjoy this season as much as possible. This Cubs team is special. Also excited to see how the NL West shakes out

One I forgot: Byron Buxton is garbage. Maybe I'll regret typing this, but I don't think he ever develops into anything, after several years atop the top prospects list.

The Cubs have played 3 games against a team that could reasonably be considered a contender...6 if you stretch it to include Arizona.
Let's see how they do against better competition.

Cubs are the most complete team in baseball, maybe over the past decade or so, and it means nothing as the right pitching timing can make a run in playoffs and ruin anyone

If Boston can stay around the top 2 of the east and hold off until the trade deadline, they have to make a move to get another quality starting pitcher.

AL East is gonna be interesting with Boston, Toronto and Baltimore.

Bryce Harper is incredible.

The cardinals are a ~500 club, as I predicted



and no offense bc it's by design but the Braves may be one of the worst teams of all time

My favorite thing is that the bandwagon DAT astros threads is down to less than 10 pages per game already
