The MLB season brings a sense of reunion and happiness to people all over the world. Baseball season is also a good role model for kids, it shows how some of the most talented players have to work together to succeed.
Fans all over the world cheer on their favorite teams, hoping for the best. However, some teams are stacked with great players; however they do not work well together as a team. For example, the Los Angles Dodgers are for sure to have a great season ahead. After there many losses to the San Francisco Giants, the Dodgers will need to start working as a team if they want to win.
The Dodgers’ opening day game was held is Sydney Australia. They played the Arizona Diamondbacks. They won both games and now have a record of 6-4. The Dodgers are extremely talented, especially their pitchers, Zack Grienke and Clayton Kershaw. Both had great seasons last year and are sure to do the same this year.
After the first week of the MLB, teams are starting to show what they have in store for the upcoming season. The 2013 World Champion Red Sox aren’t looking as skilled as they had in the past seasons. This may be a preview of their season ahead, or also it may be taking them a little longer to get back in the groove of things.
Some of last year’s rookies, like Bryce Harper and Mike Trout have surely improved their skills and also have adapted to the feel of things. Just a year in the MLB can improve your mentality and also your performance.
After MLB’s opening week, teams are showing what they have in store. The San Francisco Giants have had a great opening week. After a series with the Dodgers, they came out on top, taking two of the three games. The giants later went on to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks two times. The Giants’ record after a week is 5-3.
After being demolished by the Houston Astros, the New York Yankees record ended in a okay, 4-4. Derek Jeter, the hall of fame shortstop is having his final season as a Yankee before he retires. Jeter will for sure make this season the best he can that way he goes out with a bang. When Jeter retires he will be honored by people all over the world, because not only is he a fantastic player, he is an even better person off the field.
The question is who will come out on top when the season ends? ESPN spokespersons predicted that they believed the Boston Red Sox and the Los Angeles Dodgers to make it to the World Series in the 2014 season.
The Detroit Tigers are planned to have a positive season. Miguel Cabrera, the Tigers’ third baseman, just signed for a 10 year, $292 million contract with Tigers. Cabrera had a fantastic year last year; he totaled 44 home runs and 137 RBIs. He may be worth big money, but did the Tigers overspend? ESPN say, “The Tigers may have offered too much, but Cabrera still has a lot of potential that hasn’t been discovered yet.”
This upcoming season is highly looked forward to. Some of the best teams in the league will be sure to compete for a spot in the 2014 World Series. MLB fans all across the nation will be cheering for their favorite teams, or even just favorite player while they battle though the 2014 season.
