why does anyone think the memeiners will even make the postseason? honest question, what's separating them from last year and next year? mark trumbo?
>>64279048
I would be ok with this. Even if it meant a Cusb World Series.
Baseball noob watching since midseason, and have been following the Pirates as a fan, but does anyone think we have a shot as div winners/league winners/ws considering the holes in our roster
>>64279057
I don't follow AL Baseball, I follow real Baseball instead but I think I heard they were a game or two from making the playoffs.
>>64279006
>>64279010
i like what i'm seeing in this thread
>>64279057
I really don't. The 2nd WC is attainable though.
>what's separating them from last year and next year?
The rotation is a bit better since they won't have to rely on AAA backups. The Fernando Rodney Experience finally came to an end. Furbush will be back. Cano will most likely be better. He played most of 2015 with abdominal pain and some infection or whatever. His 2nd half numbers were great.
There is no black hole at catcher anymore. M's catchers were historically and unprecedentedly horrible this year. A slash line of .159/.205/.259. Just by fixing that position they'll be a lot better. They have an actual OF now instead of this bullshit. >>64277564 There's just a lot less that can go wrong now.
>>64279164
If they had won one more game, or if Oakland had lost the last game, they would have had a tiebreaker for the WC in 2014. They missed it by a lot this year
>>64278948
>>64279048
>Theo signing a bunch of expensive FA
>winning a World Series
It's going to be just like the 2011 season all over again when Theo went out and blew all that money in Boston.
He's practically painted the team into a corner. If they don't win it all, they'll be the biggest laughingstock of the entire league all over again.
I can't wait for the eventual choke job.
>>64278991
>checks calendar
yep, it's on
>>64279137
>div winners
no chance
probably wildcard
who knows how many WC spots NL West will take though
>>64279137
It's probably unlikely. The Pirates are, IMO, going to have a down 2016 and will have to shoot for 2017 with guys like Bell and Glasnow a little older.
Red Sox
>>64279289
Funny eh, i think it was our (Can i say our?) senior managment who said div win was the 2016 target
>>64279137
With the Cubs loading up for war, the division seems unlikely. A wild card is still realistic if the Dbacks take games away from whoever is second in the NL West between the Giants and Dodgers though. The winner of that division is probably going to have a smaller lead than previous years with another real team in the mix now.
>>64279346
I'm a Mets fan but I would love to see the Pirates win the division next year. It would be a huge fuck you to the Cusb fans who already cocky as shit based upon one successful series against the Cardlels.
If Glasnow comes up and blows away the competition, the Buccos will be in it. I think he's the key though.
>>64279281
How can it be considered a chokejob when faggots like you say they aren't going to win it?
>>64279421
>>64279404
I would love the mets to sweep the cubs in ws as both the cubs and yankees Butthurt on /sp/ will Be hilarious.Also a question to more longstanding baseball Fans, do local matches like mets vs yankees create the Sense of Passion found in say, Arsenal vs Spurs in the UK

>>64279525
Mets and Cubs are both NL teams; they could meet earlier in the playoffs but not in the World Series (which is NL vs. AL).
And yes, games and series between regional rivals like Yankees-Mets do get more attention and higher attendance. Regional pride is one of those universal things across all sports I guess.
>>64279525
Interleague game started in the mid-90s, so some people like to say that these types of rivalry games, like Mets-Yankees, Dodgers-Angels, Cubs-White Sox, are a fad.
I would tend to agree, although they are some of the most fun games to watch during the season, even if your team is bad. The real rivalries though are the divisional rivalries.

>>64279137
>>64279291
This most likely, with the Pirates being too Jewish to make any real strides to getting some players they don't have much of a chance this year. You gotta fight the Tardnials and the cubs this year for division and then wild card. The good news is that the rest of the NL is so bad that the Pirates may have a chance at playing the wild card
>>64279697
>>64279798
alleging logical fallacies are good way to hide the fact that you have no answer to the argument
Mets are just an overly cocky team because of their one season of success after many of failure. Not just in the same boat as the Cubs, but they're sharing a cabin room.
>>64279844
i have trouble believing theres a worse stadium than tropicana.
>Colon remains in the NL
>>64279888
Sewage once leaked into the home locker room in the Oakland Coliseum. The walkway from the BART station makes it look like you're being marched into prison. For a month of the football season, they have to play football on a dirt infield. There's nowhere in the stadium you can smoke. The only alcohol they serve in the entire stadium is Bud Light.

so then you could say, the Dodgers, as a team, choked
Is it too early to declare the new Dodger front office as a failure? This whole offseason has been a debacle for them so far.
>>64280003
AT&T is pretty cool, there doesnt seem to be a bad seat in the whole place. And the clam chowder is perfect in the cold weather.
>>64280023
just because they lost doesnt mean they choked?
>>64280027
dude what? they're saving money and overall getting younger. the farm is top notch, plenty of remarkable rookies trickling through. nobody wants the contracts of crawford nor ethier, and management be damned if they toss our more ludicrous contracts in that vein.
the NL west will be that much more dynamic to follow this season, things are getting pretty hype.
>doyers get these prospects
>doyers trade to marlins the prospect and a outfielder, hopefully Puig just to get rid of him
>doyers get Jose Fernandez from marlins
>NL west becomes highly competitive
There's no way this could happen, right? The Doyers aren't that fucking stupid, right?
>>64280138
The prospects looked like something planned for a package deal so who knows
>>64280022
Better start calling them the Windians because that team is fucking dynamite
>>64280098
except they were expected to be carried by the rotation, which implies they were expected to win (they were, remember the whole bye week shitposting)
>>64280138
the marlins arent stupid enough to fall for Yasiel "One Year Wonder" Puig
I think that Rogers center is the best stadium just bases on true baseball atmosphere
>>64280203
Doest have to be Puig
>>64280177
not carried, lol, reinforced. they had a decent but kinda shitty lineup but agon and kendrick did alright. and actually, mets were expected to win (in new york and articles ive read) because of cespedes hype and starters. btw, mets are getting zach wheeler off DL in summer who had a cueto-ish ERA and didnt cost 100m++++ lol

>>64279987

>>64280246
fuck you. he's a marvelous center fielder. he just needs to tight up his swing like trout does. good riddance mcgwire is with the padres now.
>>64280216
>true baseball atmosphere
>>64280216
I used to live in Toronto and currently live in St. Pete. In my opinion, the Skydome isn't much better than the Trop.
I've never been to any other parks besides those 2, and I haven't been there in a few years, but it definitely has to be in the bottom tier of ballparks.
>>64280138
Including the DBacks in the Shelby miller trade, it would have taken Pollock and Corbin to pry Fernandez away from the Marlins.
I don't think they're letting him go.
>>64280216
>>64280332
The Skydome is a fake meme stadium with "fans" who rips urinals off the wall and throw garbage onto fake grass for entertainment.
Jose Bautista is a meme player.
>>64280339
They're willing to let him go, but for a huge pay back, one of those prospects throws 100 mph in AAA. For some good pitching prospects, that can equal or even exceed Fernandez in skill, they may be willing to do
>>64280171
1. Lindor SS
2. Kipnis 2B
3. Brantley LF

I really think having Greinke and Kershit dominate the regular season and then going on to lose in the NLDS again fucked them sideways.
At that point, what can you really do? You just have to come to terms with the fact that your team has bad chemistry and chokes in big games.
>>64280454
It is retarded, but when you're the Dodgers and you want a WS now, it's a pretty good move, they gotta find someone to fill in Greinke spot. I mean look at how many prospects got moved around this off season, look at the Braves and Dbacks. When you want a WS that badly, it's possible they could do it, idk if it'll follow through but they will at least talk about it
