Every time I see that dumb cunts wide face all I feel is a pure seething hatred for you and that ball of retarded piss and fur. If I ever see you or that fucking cat in real life I'm going to kill myself right then and there on the spot because killing you wouldn't satiate the rage I feel from that dumb, stupid, ugly, piece of shit, retarded, fat-ass fucking shitcat.

Guys, I splurged on MLB.tv at the beginning of the season and now I'm in withdrawal. I'm watching this meme Dutch and Taiwan game. I'm just happy I got to see Andruw Jones strikeout one last time.
>ham fighters
these announcers are pros
and by pros, i mean hoes
So these guys are playing with DHs, right? How did they decide that? Is the DH rule standard internationally?
>>63453564
Non-MLB tournaments tend to use the DH because it's easier for non-DH teams to adjust to using one than vice versa.
I know that in NPB the Central League is more like the NL and they don't use the DH, whereas the Pacific League has it.
I missed yesterday's Japan-Korea game but I remember the Asia Series. Did they/will they show the full cheerleader routines during one of the inning changes on this stream?

I'm only sad about Miller. I really did like him. I think the deal was good for us though. K-Marte looked better at SS and has good OBP. Miller's only place was in CF and he was awful there. In the end we have a lot more team control in years and better SP depth.

Today is the 10th in Taiwan and Japan.
All the games are either around 11pm est or 5:00 am est, mostly the latter
x-axis = ERA
y-axis = ERA+
i just pulled the data from about 200 random players. this was cool to look at even though its obvious
>>63457610
Well I mean there's the Play Index but idk if that's what you're looking for.
>>63458321
12 pm in Taiwan is 10 pm on the east coast of the United States. They don't do DST over there.
>>63458435
how'd you do that?
Who gets into the Hall of Fame on this new ballot? I think we can all agree that Griffey is a lock in already, but who else gets in this year? Piazza just fell short last year so does he get in this year?
>>63458461
CSV file from bbref page for all pitchers. then just choosing columns of data and creating graphs from it.
x-axis = WHIP
y-axis = ERA
Who among these will be in the HoF
>>63458514
Hoffman might not be a definitive lock but he's sure damn close.
>>63458618
Pujols, Beltre, Ichiro are locks. Beltre needs to play like 3 or 4 more season to get 3000 hits and 500 home runs to really solidify his spot. Pujols needs to play a couple of more seasons to get 3000 hits and 600 home runs, but I think that he's a lock regardless. Felix, Kershaw, Cano and Greinke need to play a little longer. Ortiz only gets in depending on how the writers feel about his steroid tests. Tex, Utley, Beltran, Mauer, and possibly Sabathia are on the cusp.
>>63458651
Hoffman's chances are pretty good imo, he wasn't nearly as dominant as Mo, but he was the first person with 600 saves and that can only help him
>>63458778
>>63458618
and Cabrera is a lock if his name stays out of PED scandals.
>>63458618
Not A-Rod
Pujols will
Beltre should
Cabrera will
Beltran probably
Utley won't
Buehrle won't
Ichiro will
Sabathia won't
Cano likely will
Teixeira maybe
Greinke will
As long as Edgar isn't in, Ortiz can fuck off
Felix will
Kershaw will
>>63458618
How many spics does Utley need to take out to reach the Hall?
>>63458837
nice list, you're prob spot on
>>63458618
Locks - Pujols, Miggy, Ichiro
Most Likely - Beltre, Utley, King Felix, Kershaw
Close but not yet - Beltran, Mauer, Cano
Keep it up - Greinke, Wright
Good luck - Buehrle, CC, Tex, Kinsler, Hamels
Nope - A-Rod, Ortiz
>>63458618
Regardless of steroids bullshit:
A-Rod*
Pujols
Beltre (2 more decent seasons and you're in, my friend"
Miggy
Ichiro
Cano (needs 3-4 more pretty good seasons to solidify it)
Papi
Felix (best chance of any pitcher)
Kershaw (I take that back)
Beltran and Utley just won't compile enough numbers for the Hall. All the other guys are not that important or their chances got hurt pretty bad in the last few years.
>Verlander isn't even on that list
Color me surprised.

even the ones that did mostly did it together, as a-rod, tex, cano, and cc all only have 2009, and utley and hamels were 2008
it's kind of sad that one truly great player can't always succeed on the biggest stage without a competent team around him, but i guess that's why it's a team sport huh
