The only thing more bitter for Giants fans will be if The Freak makes it all the way back with the Rangers.

Something about the altitude and air keeping the ball up.

You're both wrong.
You're both wrong.
Both teams play, Slack. Rockies have inside edge with that.
Klondike, your opinion is based on history (which is accurate), not the current rotation and bullpen. Plus, they're stacked on offense.

I'm told breaking balls don't break as sharp in the thin air also.
They've always been stacked on offense- they have trouble signing good free agent pitchers because they don't want to pitch there.

Gonna be more than 5 weeks Klondo. Maybe double that.
Rockies built a great bullpen over the winter. We'll see if it is enough.
I predict the standings will end up much the same as last yr. We could have rebuilt.......

The Rockies should pitch the ball like never before in 2018. Jon Gray is at the head of arguably the most underrated rotation in baseball. And with Wade Davis at the back end of an incredibly deep bullpen, the Rockies have just the thing to keep their starters fresh in the thin air of Colorado.
Ironically, whether the Rockies will hit enough is the big question. Despite Nolan Arenado's and Charlie Blackmon's best efforts, they suffered through one of their worst offensive seasons in 2017. By not making any new additions, they've likely signed up for more of the same.
Prediction: 85-77

San Francisco Giants
2017: 64-98
PECOTA 2018: 83-79
Andrew McCutchen and Evan Longoria are Giants now. If Buster Posey continues to be himself while Madison Bumgarner, Johnny Cueto, Mark Melancon, Brandon Crawford and Hunter Pence put last year's issues behind them, the Giants will have no trouble rising from the ashes.
But when a team needs this many things to go right, it's at least as likely that things will go wrong instead. The Giants are especially vulnerable in light of their collective age, as few of their key players will play the 2018 season on the right side of 30. It's a recipe for trouble.
Prediction: 71-91

YES. But, the reason they were down last year was partially due to Carlos Gonzales having his worst year ever. If he gets back to what he's capable of, it's like them picking up a new player (although his Cactus League stats aren't great).
Blackmon, Arrenando and DJ are all all-star hitters. Trevor Story might add another strong bat (he was off the charts the prior year). As well as them picking Ianetta back up for catcher.
BIG expectations for the Rocks this year.

Marichal and Roseboro buried the hatchet and became friends later- and Juan ended up with the Dodgers.
