We review all that was in the 2017 MLB regular season: The teams that surprisingly over-performed (Brewers, Twins), underperformed (GIANTS), and the sad state of the Atlanta Braves. The players that shined the brightest (Lindor, Judge, Altuve), and those that would just as soon forget this season happened (MATT HARVEY). Then, all things Postseason, with predictions through to the World Series. Coming into home: We hand out the awards for the regular season, and give our love to Puerto Rico, Houston, South Florida, and Las Vegas.
