With Mets-Nationals in the NL and Orioles-Yankees in the AL underway, the 2019 baseball season has officially begun! HOORAY! Let's chat up the great American pastime here! While a goodly amount of focus will be on Manny Machado in San Diego and Bryce Harper here in Philly after the monster free agent deals they signed, there's still plenty to chat about:

--Will the Red Sox repeat?
--Can Jacob deGrom excel as the NL's best pitcher again?
--Can the low budget A's return the playoffs?
--Will the rebuilding Orioles avoid another 100 plus loss season?
--Is NL East the best division in baseball?
--Can dual threat Shohei Otani dazzle just as a batter?
--What team will come from left field and be a surprise playoff contender?

And that's just off the top of my head! So much to discuss, and six months to do so! Let's get in the box and swing away!
