This is a tough one to call.  Yes the division is bad,  but with Bauer back  the starting pitching is great.  If Miller comes back,  then the pen is dominant,  as good as the Yanks. And if Donaldson is 80% of himself,  then the Indians can go righty,  lefty literally all the way through the lineup.  So the pieces are there for a deep run,  but the injuries are a real threat.

A shame.  He's been fun to watch! Hope he recovers quickly and comes back to excite us again next year!

Kendrys Morales is one game away from tying Mattingly, Griffey Jr, and Dale Longs record for consecutive games with a home run

kendrys and dale long prove this is a pretty meaningless record.

And Mattingly

Expect a 2020 comeback.  You won't see him next year...

Michael Kopech the next victim to undergo TJ surgery. Will miss all of 2019. Damn!

Because Eddie lived in both San Diego and Seattle and both those teams weren't really rivals. But because of interleague play they came up with the Vedder Cup for whoever wins the season series between them

I'm kinda confused... I noticed the graphic for the trophy has the winner for 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and now they're announcing 2018.  The AL West only plays the NL West every 3 years, how can there be a winner for 5 of the last 6 seasons?  Is it like the Cubs and White Sox where SEA/SD play a series every year no matter what?  Seems weird if so.

I think you're thinking too much into it...

How so? How can you win a season series if you don't play?

Pretty sure every team has a regional rivalry as selected by MLB. Cardinals plays the Royals every year. One of a few that has any real history, so I could see how it could induce eye rolls.

I wonder what would have happened with the Angels if they hadn't lost so many pitchers to injury.....they may not have been able to take the division, but the wildcard would have been within reach.

Blake Snell is a filthy pitcher.  He might no hit the Indians today.

The Angels are friggin cursed.  Best player in the world can't do anything to attract other people there?!?

The Halos are my team but it has been painful the last few years to watch them...

I think he's the AL Cy Young award winner, which is funny since the Rays went to the opener so many times this year.
