>>66998065
didn't say the height was necessarily an advantage, Zack's Dad, just that it's an abnormality. you can count on one hand that number of MLB pitchers who have ever been 6-10 or taller
>>
>>66998145
well if you didn't know the larger you are the harder it is to throw strikes. Which is why Randy was shit for his first few seasons. You got huge fucking limbs trying to spot balls in what is to you, a small zone in relation to your size. Threw hard though, huge advantage in his era.

>>

> Is travel baseball killing the game?

of course it is. kids were never meant to play any sport all year long, and people wonder why we see so much TJS these days
>>
>>66999354
mest fans have the biggest mouth in baseball and are the biggest meme in baseball, yet they can't bring in more than the Yankee's whose ticket prices are ridiculous and can barely bring in ~1000 more than Colorado.

>>66999408
Little League has a lot of shitters, travel is above average talent all around. Nobody is paying $300 for a 5 day tournament if your kid is shit. It's pitching coaches and experimental throwing schools who are killing arms.
>>
>>66999520
>VELOCITY IS ALL THAT MATTERS PLAY ALL YEAR OR ELSE YOU WON'T GET SCOUTED OR YOU WON'T MAKE IT TO THE BIG LEAGUES
>why are people getting injured golly gee i don't know
>>
>>66999408
Some of those travel coaches are ruthless. They'll have young pitchers start multiple games in a weekend tournament and blow their arms out throwing 50+ breaking balls in a game. This is even worse in the south where they play and train ball all year round.

But the talent in little league just isn't comparable. You get better coaching, resources, and competition in travel ball. And it's the only way kids get noticed (high school ball isn't really that great in most places either).

So yes, travel ball has it's fault but it's really the only option elite young players have to succeed.

That's not true. Leagues have rules which protect kids just like in little League. 40+ pitches (3 days rest) 60 pitches (4 days) etc
>>
>>66999680

leagues have rules, showcases and tourneys can't possibly know when a kid pitched last. baseball dads are fucking sharks man, they want their kid front and center every inning

The rules really don't protect them that much. I can't remember what the rules were I played, but it wasn't uncommon for pitchers to start at least 2 games a weekend. Hell, I started 2 games in one day once when I was like 16.
>>
>>66999704
I understand what you mean I played in travel ball, typically for any showcase or tourney you want to be well rested just like in high school the days before the draft. Nobody is trying to have you take the mound on 80 pitches from less than 48 hours ago. Pitching coaches push you most in bullpens to get better, every pitching prospect goes to some sort of throwing school, that's where the biggest problem lies. In velocity drills. You get to touch 90 before you're 18 but lose all command and suddenly have all these body injuries you never had before.

Maloney outdueled Larry Jackson, with the Reds winning on a Leo Cardenas home run. This was the first no-hitter in modern Major League history in which the pitcher who threw it went more than nine innings. Maloney's pitching line included 12 strikeouts, 10 walks and one hit-by-pitch. He threw 187 pitches in the game.

Hey man, Blue Jays were too. Both still are. The Rangers had the Jays on the ropes. Well, everyone but Elvis Andrus. It's a shame such a good start by Hamels was wasted because of him.

Speaking of, are Rangers fans still super negative about that trade, or has Hamels/Diekman been good enough for them?

>mfw cubs """""""fans"""""" think their team is going to win the World Series this year

You guys won't even make it to the NLDS, your team has literally no pitching other than Arietta (he probably uses pine tar every game, or is overrated anyways) whatsoever while we have without a doubt the best pitching staff in baseball. almost to the point that our bullpen is practically unhittable. Not to mention the entire world dickrides your overrated offense while ours is just as good as yours. We have the best catcher in baseball (Molina), the best third baseman in baseball (Carpenter), and various other CONFIRMED All-Stars in Holliday, Wong, Piscotty, Grichuk, and Peralta (when healthy).

You no-hit the fucking Reds, this is a terrific accomplishment isn't it? Good god you cucks have to be the most naive piece of shit trash fans in the entire country. When your team was shit just 2 years ago, you guys were nowhere, and now, you guys just come out of the blue, bandwagonning like no other. Our fans remain the best in baseball, and we stick through the team all year long, while you guys glory hunt whenever the Blackhawks, Bulls, or Bears somehow decide to win things. Once you guys get eliminated, I will be basking in massive Cub tears just like every other year. It's considered an absolute pleasure to watch them go down.
>>

You also like to take pride in taking away that nigger, Jason Heyward from us. Who the hell would TAKE LESS to become part of an organization of losers and cucks? Not to mention, play in the most dangerous city in the entire country? We offered him more money, he's clearly what's wrong with society, he's a fucking traitor piece of shit nigger, I would have even signed with the Nationals if I were him, that I wouldn't mind, but the Cubs? That's going to fuck up your career for good. I can't wait to see him regret signing with you cucks one year later.

Come back here, when the REAL NL Central kings (the Cardinals of fucking course) put you and your team of cucks in their place and while we go on to win our 5th year of a drought World Series, I'm sure your collective tears will be more than delicious.

I can't actually assume people think the rangers didn't give up much, because this trade really bumped the Phillies farm from Bottom 5 to top 10, and the Giles Trade(Even if Giles becomes the next Mariano, that's a bad trade) pushed them into the top 5 discussion.

I think the confusion comes from people thinking the only way to win a trade is to get their #1 prospect

How are the irrelevant Deds this year? They won't be around for another 4 years at least.

Not to mention, your offense is collective garbage?

Go fap to Teddy Kremer, you piece of shit nigger.

>>67003261
To get up Hamels, the Rangers traded Harrison and Minor League catcher Jorge Alfaro, outfielder Nick Williams and pitchers Jake Thompson, Jerad Eickhoff and Alec Asher. Those are some pretty good talents however I think the Rangers still made out like bandits and here's why:

>Aquire an easy #1 Starter
>Aquire an above average set up lefty reliever
>Keep Jody Gallo your #1 prospect
>Keep Nomar Mazara who is currently paying dividends

Not a bad trade imo

Nomar and Gallo were never in play. Just like Betts and Swihart were never in play for the Sox, or Schwarber or Russell were never in play for the Cubs. I'm glad Hamels is in Texas, and I'm glad the Rangers are good with him there. It gives him a chance to win and it sped up the Phillies rebuild by leaps and bounds(same with the Giles trade). Before the Hamels trade, the rebound looked to be 2019, after Hamels it looked to be 2018, and now it looks like it has a chance to happen late 2017.

Also, thanks for not protecting Odubel. He's an awesome guy too! But DeLino ain't bad either, so it's not like that killed you either
>>
>>67003581
I hope the White Sox do good this year because we share a thing in common, dislike for the Cubs. When they become Chicago's best team at the end of the season, Cubs fans will begin to hop on that bandwagon, and those """"fans""""" would be coming back to a loser franchise in the Fubby Cucks,
