FINAL THOUGHTS ON THE 2015 MLB SEASON

[ginainthekingsroad]

Sure, inspired by #10. How did your teams do? How did you predict they'd do? This is definitely the place for favorite highlight videos and gifs! Who was the biggest surprise on your team? Best rookie on the team? And most importantly, are you now TEAM METS or TEAM ROYALS?!

Re: FINAL THOUGHTS ON THE 2015 MLB SEASON

I'm obviously F!S's resident Angels fan. And we did pretty well, considering everything. I predicted we'd be a wild card team, and we missed it by one game. Except I was forecasting a Nationals-Mariners WS, L-O-fucking-L!

•Gif of the year!
•Catch of the year! The way Victor Rojas' voice cracks at "I didn't think he had a shot at that ball!" just kills me.
•Trout hits a grand slam that's caught in a fan's "Trout Net". That's something out of a fucking movie. What. Unfortunately, he had hurt his wrist earlier in that game, so that was one of his last homers for quite a while... :\
•Game 161: Comeback of the year. Straight-up 2002 style.

•One of the biggest surprises was Johnny Giavotella, who became our primary 2nd baseman after the big Howie Kendrick trade. Well he wasn't as good as Howie (especially defensively), but he was damn serviceable. Always had a huge smile on his face while playing. And he always seemed to get the biggest hit right when we needed it most, as seen above where he drove in the go-ahead run in that insane game 161. Poor Johnny G missed about a month with fourth nerve palsy, a rare vision condition that must have been really scary! Dude looked so happy to be back.

•Hector Santiago had a great first half and was an All-Star for the first time in his career. Didn't get into the ASG, but it's still an honor. He didn't fare as well in the second half, but he was still reliable. Some highlights.

•Our best rookie was Andrew Heaney, the pitching prospect we got in return for Howie Kendrick. And while Howie was absolutely a fan-favorite, it was a great deal. 1 year of a 31-year-old 2B or 6+ years of a 24-year-old left-handed starting pitcher? Heaney seems to be the real deal, despite the stupid mustache. Highlights. Expect the Angels to soon have a fearsome lefty core to their rotation, with Heaney, Tyler Skaggs returning from TJS, and Sean Newcomb, the top prospect in the organization.

•Small shout-out to rookie reliever Trevor Gott, who we got from the Padres in the Huston Street package. Dude's 5'11"-- short for a pitcher-- but he's making it work and solidified the 7th inning role for the second half. One of our hardest throwers, and has a nice curveball. He's a nice return for RJ Alvarez, who went to the Padres (now with the A's), who had a similarly firm fb but terrible command. Here's a nice play by Gott.

And finally, LET'S GO METS!!

I'm hoping the Mets do really well because my parents are huge Mets fans and I'd rather hear happy yelling than angry yelling and swearing.

I'm not a big baseball fan, though I do enjoy going to games.

Since I live in the NYC area, it's been exciting to cheer on the Mets. I didn't know this ,but my mom's a secret Mets fan. My grandparents were huge Mets fan in the 80s (they've both long since passed) and my mom followed when they did.

In my office, it's been pretty exciting because one of my coworkers is a huge Royals fan and my boss is a big Mets fan so they have a friendly wager on the game.

The Giants were, honestly, better than I expected, given that it was an odd year. The offense was frankly really impressive and it's kind of amazing that we have probably 6 or 7 positions solidly locked down for next year, mostly with homegrown players. The pitching... the pitching was not so fantastic, but nothing's perfect.

Biggest surprise goes jointly to Matt Duffy (3B) and Joe Panik (2B) - I really didn't expect very much at all from either of them but they were really solid, both defensively and at the plate. And I think they'll both be at least decent going forward and it's a huge luxury to have those positions figured out.

The single biggest moment of the season was every single time Madison Bumgarner hit a home run <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 Madbum

Biggest question going forward is if they can get a strong starting pitcher to support Bumgarner and maybe a decent OF and they'll be in a really strong position for next year.

as for the World Series, let's go Mets!!!!

I love the Crawnik. But even better than that:



2002 rematch next year; test that even year magic thing. Let's do this thing.

I guess I'll be the resident Royals fan. I've been kind of on the periphery, but my happiest moment was Game 4 of the ALCS when literally everyone around me called KC done when it was 6-2. And then we won.
