One week done, only 155 games or so left

So, let's hear the premature opinions people - Who sucks based on a ridiculously small sample size?

Who is now a future Hall of Fame inductee based on 20 or so at bats?

Which team is replacing the 1927 Yankees as the BEST EVAH!

Which team is crawling under the 1962 Mets to become the worst team in history?

The Redsox are 2 and 5 - Will they lose 100 games a year after winning 105? Of course they will!

The Yankees have a third year in the majors 1st baseman from St Louis MO that leads the team in Homers - Just like the Phillies in 2008. That means the Yankees will win it all!

Kolten Wong is a 5'7" infielder who's on pace to hit 81 homeruns and steal 60 bases, He'll do BOTH!!

Lemme read what ya got people - Hot Takes and wild predictions we want to see 'em all

And winning the Cy Young again this year, at least that's what I got after those arbitrarily important stats from yesterday's win...plus that means the Mets must win it all this year.

My Red Sox need to get the act together or it's a dumpster fire season...

He was on fire after just five visits to the plate....that is until the pitchers dialed him in and it went south. He's a really good fielder, and wicked on the bases. I'm gonna keep my eye on him because I expect him to bounce back.

Just watched him up close for the last couple days and by game 2, well I was nervous during his at bats.

Loved to see Skip back in town - He is a gem. I wish him all the best as a coach

Fernando Tatis can't hit a low inside pitch. First time up, Bumgarner was pitching him low and inside until he hit Tatis's foot; second time up he ran it up to a full count aiming for that low and inside target, then made the mistake of sending it low and down the pike. Boom, two rum homer, his third of the season.

.243 and inching up
