When will MLB realize that Japanese players are just memes and not worth the contracts
Das racist
koreans are better

You know ichiro would have had a real shot at breaking Pete Rose's hit record had he played in the states his whole life right?
Darvish has been pretty good (minus injury)
But Darvish is half Iranian and is actually good when he isn't FUCKING INJURED.

Reminder that Japanese baseball is an easier game than American baseball
Japanese players are made of glass. They cant compete woth big strong Americans

inflated offensive stats

>that filename
>Ichiro, Sasaki, Johjima, Iwakuma
I can't think of a bad Japanese player the M's ever brought in. I mean eventually they went bad, but they all were OK or good. The only bad one was bringing Ichiro's #1 fan, Kawasak but that was a joke signing so he could cheer lead for Ichiro.

To this day that is one of the sickest ropes ever.

ICHIRO!
ichiro probably could have been one of the all time greats if he came over earlier. he's been pretty remarkable
Why are Latinos good at baseball?
>>66329085

Ichiro famously said, "I have you now" in his Darth Vader voice as he crow hopped.

Ryu is a fat faggot and I hope he dies
>>66332316
>no Kento Memda for the dodgers
How did he get such a shafted contract from the richest team in the league?
>>66332316

it's because they make them stop doing all the insane gook things they do and make them train like an American

>yfw Otani gets 200M
shame about the new posting system, the 20M cap means jap teams have even less incentive to post any players early
so 6 more seasons now for Otani I think
he'd probably get 250-300 is posted today
>>66329085
I'll never tire of seeing this, it gets better every time, had to have left his hand 100+ mph
>>66332221
niggers are pretty decent at sports desu, especially if power is involved
but still they're only so good because they're born and bred through baseball camps run by MLB teams, it's kind of like modern day slavery, they take the biggest and baddest of them and exploit them for labor and the rest are left sad and poor with no real education. The good ones do end up making bank though
still almost all the best players are white
>>66332221
because baseball is very popular in central america, therefore people grow up playing it and tend to be pretty good at it. same reason canadians/russians/swedes are so good at hockey, and apes are so good at apehoop.

>the ball literally teleports the first 20 yards
Is that the best throwout ever? Anyone have a gif or webm of Puig's?
