Tell me why they don't just start the GOAT until he gets 3,000, again?
I miss Ichiro in Seattle. I was at the game that just switched sides and playing for the Yankees. I wanted to cry
Also
>Tfw we will never see Ichiro win a world series
Small sample size but he's making contact with 97% (!!!!!!!) of pitches in the strike zone
Do you guys think Ichiro will reach 3000 this season? I'm doubtful. I don't think hes getting enough playing time.
>>67770260
he will
he's playing again today
the marlins OF is good but injury prone as fuck, he'll play a few stretches here and there
also still has all 10 AL park games left, which I figure he'll mostly be playing in with Stanton as DH
>>67769757
>116 wins
you fucking blew it faggots
>>67768929
i like ichiro but his BA is always deceiving as fuck, give him an extended role and he breaks down very easily and he has no power
Japs are literally worse than nig nogs and spics.
44 more

2 more hits lads.
Ichiro has 4400 (exactly) hits in pro baseball counting japan and minor leagues in japan, which is 2nd to Rose.
though I guess it's weird where to draw the line. if you're including japanese and minor leagues why not include postseason, or spring training.
btw including his 544 minor league hits and 200 postseason hits, Jeter has over 4200 hits
>>67769757
marlins could meme their way into a playoff spot and go on a ridiculous run like they did twice before.
He should play his last season in Japan. A homecoming like that would make for huge headlines.
>>67770260
Yes, its still May.
Probably gets it in August or early September.
>>67769757
2001 and 2012 were his only chances. Both flame outs in the ALCS.
Oh, and, Matsui > Ichiro
>>67794968
>A very good player is better than one of the greatest players of his era
>>67795006
Winners > losers
It's pretty simple.
>>67795006
>le bloop singles man
>one of the greatest players of his era
Fuck, I love ichiro. Wish he were on the mariners still instead of abandoning the ship like everybody else.
>>67795186
>h..he. he didn't hit homeruns! Waahh
M8 name a player other than griff with a better combo of glove, arm, speed, and bat
>>67769757

>implying the fish wont rape the dodgers in the NLCS
>Implying based Donny and Icheyrow wont get rings and kiss while soaking wet from champagne
>>67795136
>people giving individuals credit for a team effort
I really wish this meme would die.
Ichiro is a first ballot hof-er.
Yes or No?
>>67795237
Here's 2
>>67795315
Fish rape is so yesterday.
Eternal Ichiro thread desu
>>67795315
>implying the doyers will make the CS
>>67795186
>hurr de durr if he dont hit dingers he no great player
>>67794968
ichiro is way better lmao
>>67795908
Yes
I don't care how you feel about the hits in Japan, you can't deny this guy being one of the GOATs
Based Ichiro does it again
matsui career ops+: 118
ichiro career ops+: 108
hmm....
>>67796035
When bonds had the arm speed and glove he didn't have nearly the bat of ichiro. When the bat surpassed ichiro he didnt have the arm glove and speed.
>>67768929
why does he look so freaking weird
>>67808292
>he didn't have nearly the bat of ichiro
are you retarded
bonds with the pirates was a better fielder and hitter than ichiro ever was
>>67808391
Because he's Japanese
>>67808669
why did he never get as many hits then?
>>67795908
-all but locked in to 3000 hits club
-league record for hits in a season (262)
-10 consecutive seasons of 200+ hits
In what universe is he not? 3000 hits is generally one of those magic numbers that gets you in automatically.
>>67808788
the only actual debate about ichiro is whether he would have broken the all time hits record if he had played his whole career here
>>67795908
no question
>>67808669
>bonds was a hall of famer with the pirates
Falling for the meme. 262 hits in a season aint no joke son.
>>67808820
i'm not sure honestly
on the one hand, he'd definitely get close just by the sheer dint of his talent
but on the other hand he's got kind of a weird batting style and i'm unsure if he could've climbed up to the majors without some coach fucking his swing up something awful
>>67809063
i guess assume that ichiro comes over like he did in 2001, except instead of being 27 he's 20
same 200+ hits for 10 seasons ichiro, just with a longer prime
>>67808758
He was too busy drawing walks. And he hit for power instead of just singles like Ichiro, so his hits were worth far more to his team, senpai. Bonds was pretty much the perfect hitter.
>>67809162
convert every single walk bonds drew in his pirates years to hits and he still only breaks the single season hits record in his final year
>>67809206
just stop senpai, bonds was always better than ichiro
bonds was always better than pretty much everyone
>>67809302
>bonds hits .300 twice with the pirates
>ichiro hits .300 for 10 straight years
why are you so autistic that you can't admit that people were better than certain things than bonds? bonds was a better power hitter and better at getting on base, ichiro was a better contact hitter and a comparable if not better base stealer
ICHI ICHI ICHI
>>67809400
because a slugger who's average is .300 is incredibly more valuable than a "contact hitter" hitting .300. what drives in more runs, dingers or infield singles?
>>67808391
Japanese people don't age at all til they're 40 and then it hits them all at once.
>>67809678
even after 40 they still age pretty damn well, I think they have the highest life expectancy if im not mistaken.
>>67809625
Your arguing on creating vs driving in. Bonds was the best hitter since Babe Ruth when he was in SF. His arm speed and glove went to shit when he was in SF
>>67809744
but home run hitters again are more important because they both create and drive themselves in.
just stop famalam, you might have had a point but ichiro's career obp is way lower than bonds. so bonds is even better at getting on base than ichiro was.
THIS TRAIN HAS NO BREAKS.
>>67809905
I don't deny that Bonds was great with or without roids, he wouldnt have smacked 70+ dingers in a season without them but still a great player.
Still, given that he was a gear jockey and Ichiro still is one of the best players of his.generation clean in the steroid era makes him better by default i think.
>>67794968
Matsui is probably my favorite yankee in the past decade but cmon?
Back in the lineup
Than you based marlins glass bones outfield
Though I guess it'd be retarded to have a guy this hot out of the lineup regardless
0-2
0-5

the dream is dead
