You know it to be true. I mean how else would Chris Sale have an ERA above 2.00 the way he pitches this season.
Royals
Gordon declines QO
>>63531023
it's definitely a factor but not that much
also Sale was pretty crappy the last few weeks, and lefties were mashing him hard for the second half of the season
>>63531023
So our shitty defense is suppose to exonerated his 29 home runs given up
Sale and Q and even Rodon made due with our AA infield, smarch has no excuse.

Royals
>>63531685
not only the only faces on the team, they are the only good players on the team
there's no way the team can win with all of the total crap around those guys, SS, 2B, RF, C, 3B, DH are absolute black holes in the lineup with no prospects in sight except maybe shortstop in 3 years, that's 2/3 of the lineup. And the team defense (and baserunning) is fucking appalling
fucking alexei was the best at both on the team, which says very little, and he's gone now too
they need to rebuild
signing one or two shitty free agents like kendrick or freese, who will probably end up putting up negative value anyway as is typical with free agent signings, won't change shit
>>63531839
Well that is true. We fans are no stranger to how bad the Sox farm situation is. It's so bad Gordon Beckham tops the list of "homegrown" position players. The half rebuild half contend is what killed us after the failure of 2011 and its continuing to. Other teams like the Cubs, twins, stros etc who blew it all up back then are now fielding not only decent but very good teams.
I said it before in 2011. We are about to enter a dark age. Who knows when we'll finally see some light again.

In all seriousness, good trade for both teams. Sox get a great closer on a GREAT contract/deal for next 3 years and add to a bullpen that was literally the worst in the MLB once Koji went down (not even kidding)
Meanwhile the Pads get some great prospect depth in Guerra (SS) and Margit (OF) and the other two literally whos. Helps with their rebuild, and Margot and Guerra would never have had a chance in Boston because of Betts and Bogaerts
Good to know Dombrowski is starting off by making sure the Sox bullpen isnt as shit as it has been going forward

Won't happen. From the sounds of it, Bombston is looking for an ace, but doesn't want to pay ace money. There's been rumors about them and Cleveland coming up with a deal: one of the top 3 rotation arms in CLE (Kluber, Carrasco, Salazar) for a RH power hitter
>>63533596

we'll take 1 piscotty/reyes please

Because one doesn't trade two prospects who are in the top 10 of your farm system for a reliever. Could have traded those four for someone like Chris Sale or even for Sonny Gray.

You guys need another contact hitter if you expect to get far in the playoffs. Long ball offenses almost always get exposed in the postseason.
>>63547704
who strikes out a lot on the jays?
also, teams win more when they hit homers in the playoffs
>>63547769
No one strikes out a lot, but you only have Revere, Donaldson, and Colabello to hit for average. Donaldson and Colabello both had career years this season, and it wouldn't be smart to think that they'll continue this production. Especially since they'll both be in their 30's next season. And yes, home runs help to win playoff games, but exclusively relying on home runs to score is a terrible strategy in the playoffs. The Astros, Jays, Yankees, and Cubs all relied on this and it didn't pan out for any of them. The Jays would've been swept in the ALCS if it weren't for Cueto's spaghetti in the first two innings of that game.
>>63537165
lmao the delusion is strong
>>63548860
the blue jays had the second best average in baseball, and was the best overall offence. so you're wrong
>>63549965
>Blue Jays had the second best average in baseball
And? The Tigers had the best average, and look how well they did. Looking at a team's average is misleading. If you look at the roster, it's apparent that they don't have a reliable contact hitter for the long-term.
>and was the best overall offence
Again, so what? Regular season doesn't matter in the postseason. My point still stands that long ball reliant offenses don't hold up well in the postseason. Sure, they can make it to the postseason, but they don't make rings for that.
>>63550162
Are you not aware that playoff baseball has a lot to do with which team is the hottest? It's one of the most unpredictable sports. The only reason for this contact hitter meme is because the royals won with it. But that isn't the only formula for winning.
>>63550873
You do realize how the royals play is how baseball as a whole was generally played for nearly 100 years right?
>>63551058
the Royals won because their depth was unmatched. The line-up was deep, the bullpen was deep, the bench was deep, they deserved to win. But the way they won isn't the only way to win.

as a yankee fan you should know you dont get to the postseason from the AL east without the long ball and besides that we didnt lose the ALCS because we couldnt hit homeruns, we lost because we went 0 for fucking 12 with RISP in game 6, we went 0 for 7 in game 1 and 3/16 in game 2.

Dipoto didn’t do the angels. Art Moreno is very impressed with Dipoto forced resignation. Jerri is neck-and-neck with winning PR (Mike Scioscia) and lost.
After the resignation of Dipoto, the only work is a kind of skautingu in Boston. If we compare the Director for the Boy Scouts, as well as to a General in the army of new recruits. In what sense around the League.

>you don't get to the postseason from the AL east without the long ball
True, but I'm talking about winning the World Series with the long ball, which is an entirely different feat. If you look at the teams that have won the World Series from the AL East, you'll see that they thrive with contact hitting and timely home runs. The 1998 Yankees were built on contact hitting
>we lost because we wen't 0-12 with RISP
That just further shows that the Jays relied on home runs too heavily. I don't know the exact numbers, but if you look at the ways the Jays scored throughout the postseason, I imagine it'd be predominately home runs. Home runs are not a reliable way to get the majority of your runs with, you're more likely to strikeout if you are trying to hit them, and it also relies on a combination of the pitcher missing their spot and the batter having a good swing on it, or the pitcher hitting their spot and the better having an excellent swing on it. Contact hitters in scoring position wouldn't have guaranteed the Jays to not go 0-12 with RISP, but it would've improved their chances greatly.

For the Jays and Cubs? Yes. The Jays went from hovering around .500 at the trade deadline, to being the hottest team in all of baseball the last two months of the season and fighting for the best record in the American League. In addition to that, they had TWO 11 game winning streaks this season. They barely made it out of the Division Series against the biggest postseason choke artists of this decade, and would've been swept by the Royals had Cueto not been an autist in game 3. The Cubs had the third best record in all of Baseball, and marched their way past the only two teams with better records than them. All of this just to get swept by a team that was in the worst division in all of Baseball and that gave up a postseason loss to fucking Kershaw. Both teams under performed greatly.
The playoffs are set.

Jays had 14 HRs in the postseason out of 52 runs
TEX/KC had 10 HRs out of 57 runs.

My friends, we live in a time fraught with danger. A time that sees the very fabric of our democracy threatened by the backward thinking that stifles innovation, and risks miring us in a bygone age of mere batting average and RBI. A time that hold the innings of a designated hitter in lesser regard than those of a reliever. But in this time, one ticket can unite us in common purpose and restore baseball's greatness. It is with great humility and great hope that we formally announce Ken Griffey Jr. and Edgar Martinez's 2016 candidacy for the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Today, Griffey-Edgar 2016 is born.

griffey yes, edgar no

He was a good 3B while he was one. Even if he had been a mediocre 1B he would be in the Hall right now. fuck these voters

That's impressive. Do you know how many blown saves he caused for Rivera?

You are alone in this. Edgar Martinez should not and will not get into the Hall of Fame. You are in denial. Deal with it.

Netherlands scored the most runs in group play so I wouldn't be surprised.

Is defense the biggest meme in all of Baseball?

>muh gold gloves\
This expression indicates a Jeterfag's confusion and lack of understanding. When confronted by something he cannot understand or respond to, Jeterfag's mumble "muh gold gloves" or "muh gold gloves muthafucka." This is usually followed by clapping and doing the wave
Make me an offer for this elite closer.

Every Rockie is a meme hitter. For his career CarGo's hit .324 at home and .255 on the road. In his one year in Oakland, he hit .243 at home.
