Just Baseball Recap 2015

At start of year, I attempted to make some projections at the final standings and playoffs. Looks like I'm not too great at it, outside of picking 3 division winners, and coming close on the NL Central, some were way off, especially the AL East and West

#ALEast Projections: 1. #Orioles 2. #RedSox WC 3. #BlueJays4. #Yankees 5. #Rays

*** If I'd have flipped this one, it would have looked better (5 teams a combined 10 slots wrong)

#NLCentral Projections: 1. #Cardinals 2. #Cubs 3. #Pirates 4. #Brewers 5. #Reds

*** Pretty close, but who saw both WC teams coming from here? (2 teams a combined 2 slots wrong)

#NLEast Projections: 1. #Nationals 2. #Marlins WC 3. #Braves 4. #Mets 5. #Phillies

*** Yeah, I picked the WS team to finish 4th, underestimated the SP and trade deadline moves ( 4 teams a combined 6 slots off)

#ALCentral Projections: 1. #Royals 2. #WhiteSox 3. #Tigers 4. #Indians 5. #Twins

*** Picked the winner and then basically flipped everything (4 teams 7 slots)

#ALWest Projections: 1. #Angels 2. #Mariners WC 3. #Athletics 4. #Astros 5. #Rangers 

*** Another example of flipping it to make it look better (5 teams 12 slots)

#NLWest Projections: 1. #Dodgers 2. #Padres WC 3. #Giants 4. #DBacks 5. #Rockies

*** Ruined by the Padres (3 teams 4 slots)

(Grand Totals: 7 Correct, 3 Division winners correct, 23 incorrect 41 slots off)

#NLDS Projections: @Dodgers over @Marlins and @Nationals over @Cardinals

*** Got the Cards losing correct

#ALDS Projections: @Angels over @RedSox and  @Royals over @Orioles 

*** Got the Royals winning correct

1 Correct CS team, 1 Correct DS loser

#NLCS Projections: @Dodgers over @Nationals

*** Dodgers were a covered 3rd base away from NLCS

#ALCS Projections: @Angels over @Royals

*** Shouldn't have doubted KC

#2015WorldSeries Projection: @Dodgers over @Angels in 6

*** went for a warm weather series, was a bad idea

Disappointments from 2015:

- Dodgers fail to move past 1st round again,
- Mets win robbing us a chance to see Kershaw/Greinke vs Arreita

- Padres underachieve big

- Nationals underachieve bigger

- my fantasy team

Exciting things in 2015

- Astros make playoffs

- Cubs make NLCS

- ROOKIES

- Blue Jays and Mets win trade deadline

What to look forward to in 2016

-- Cubs

 all those rookies are no longer rookies

 can they live up to the hype and deal with pressure

-- Astros

 Hoping Springer's healthy all year

-- Who will be 2016's Cubs or Astros?

 Can the Rays compete again in a tough division?

 Can the Twins build on 2015?

-- Most intriguing AL division for next year: Take you pick
  Can the Rangers repeat? Will Houston continue to rise? Will LA challenge the Texas teams?
  Boston reloaded, New York improved on a good bullpen, Toronto brings a lot back, will the Rays build on a good year?
  White Sox made some moves, Indians have pitching, Twins for real? Still Royals division?

-- Most intriguing NL division for next year: Central
  Has the Cardinals reign ended?
  Can the Cubs build on a ROY, Cy Young, NLDS win year?
  Should we just write in the Pirates as the losing wild card team?
        Or is it the West
  Diamondbacks big offseason result in playoffs?
  Giants even year success continue?
  Dodgers new manager bring longer playoff run?

3 Streaks of 3 that end in 2016?
-- Giants 3 straight even year World Series reign 2010, 2012, 2014... 2016?
-- Dodgers 3 straight division wins and DS losses
-- Pirates 3 straight WC game losses

Can we get to spring training already?
