I'm not sure on this specific question, but how teams approach and handle the run game is one of the more fascinating things I'll be watching for this season. I feel like the pickoff rule could really change things

Best case scenario for the Twins?
Simon Hampton
11:21
They win the World Series?

likelyhood the blue jays win the division?
Simon Hampton
11:24
I could see it for sure. To me, there's a lot of strong teams in the AL East and while the Yankees are probably still the favorite, I don't think the Blue Jays and to a lesser extent Rays are that far behind
Jill
11:25
Can Cleveland win the World Series?
Simon Hampton
11:25
Sure they can. They're easily good enough to win their division, and anything can happen in the playoffs
11:26
5 more minutes then I'll have to wrap this up

Thanks Simon! Cricket rocks! I hope it grows in the states! There’s a league here in the SF Bay Area
Simon Hampton
11:27
Obviously I have to answer the cricket question. There's also a new league called Major League Cricket starting up this July. I really hope it takes off in the US

Will Manny sign an extension before the Opener?
Simon Hampton
11:29
His most recent comments seemed to suggest that Feb 16 was more of a soft deadline. While I don't have any inside info, my feeling is that there's enough motivation from both sides that a deal gets done, yeah

MLB park with best hot dogs?
Simon Hampton
11:32
MLB stadium food is some of the worst around. I avoid it, ha ha.
Jeff

Which division is stronger; the AL west or NL west? They are mirrors of each other at this point
Simon Hampton
11:33
Good question. I think the NL West has more upside at the top with the Dodgers and Padres, but both very strong as you say and should be fun to watch play out in 2023
Best Hot Dog

Wrigley Field, hands down!
Simon Hampton
11:34
Really want to visit Wrigley!
