>>69283043
Makes sense that he is so sad
He's arguably the best pitcher in the AL right now and he isnt in the all-star game lel
For whatever reason he gets no defensive or offensive support when he plays
He has to be the best pitcher with a losing record
>>69283065
>>69282525
pierats will win this year for framed chinaman
>>69283065
Matt Cain maybe. His stats now are a bit worse than Quintana's, but through his first few seasons he was definitely a better pitcher but still had a losing record until he finally broke above it in 2012. Then he turned to crap and is back below .500.
Also the giants play in a pitchers park and their defense has been great to exceptional for the past decade, definitely helps his stats significantly compared to the white sox's abysmal defense and hitter's park.
http://espn.go.com/blog/sweetspot/post/_/id/15094/matt-cain-unluckiest-pitcher-in-history
I really, really like this part
>The three starters were Cain, Johnny Rigney (122 ERA+, 63-64 W-L record) and Jim Scott (121 ERA+, 107-114). Rigney pitched for the White Sox in the late '30s and early '40s while Scott also pitched for the White Sox, from 1909 to 1917
Cain's ERA+ is down to 113, and Q's is 118 and creeping up this season. soon that list of starters with a 120 era+ and a losing record will be populated solely by not 2, but 3 white sox pitchers
did someone say art?
What the fuck is wrong with David Price? Serious question. How is he fucking up this season so badly? Naturally, a move to Fenway Park will hurt your numbers a little bit, but why on Earth is he so BAD now?
>>69282538
which was also the last time they had a winning season until 3 years ago
>>69283246
fucking Jim Scott
>In 1917 the white sox went 100-54, and won the world series
>Jim Scott posted a 1.87 ERA, 143 ERA+, (second on the team only to Eddie Cicotte who won the AL pitching title that season)
>he finished the season 6-7
only started 17 games that season, still ridiculous
>>69283246
Matt Cain's 2007 season:
3.65 ERA, 7-16
Matt Cain's 2011 season:
2.88 ERA, 12-11 record
Had to be frustrating. Seems like Quintana will have the same type of career

That's crazy. He went 19-5 the year before with a slightly higher ERA the year before too. Goes to show what a meme stat pitcher wins are
>>69283415
very unlucky but not really a similar situation.
the mariners went 61-101 that year
those white sox went 100-54, a ridiculously good team and an extremely good pitcher was still below .500, mind boggling
>>69283353
Poll because I'm legitimately mad that Price sucks so much
https://www.strawpoll.me/10678005
>>69283447
I remember the massive debate that went on and on as the "advanced stats" people pointed to the ERA (meme stat but still) ERA+, per-9 stats, and run support while all the oldsters stuck their fingers in their ears and shouted "LA LA LA LA MUH PITCHER WINS LA LA LA LA". Price, who went 19-5, finished 2nd, thank god, because Felix was better in most of the important categories.
>>69283499
ERA is not a meme stat for starting pitchers
>>69283509
it can be deceiving, though
>>69283474
Hampton could at least hit. Still way too early to tell with Price

When a season has yet to finish what do you think is more important win % or total wins?
The Giants currently have more wins than the Cubs but a lower win % so they are placed 2nd in the NL.
>>69284837
raw win totals... but unless there's a big gap between two teams they don't matter much in the big picture. I'm assuming the Giants have played more games, and have one or two more losses in addition to those wins, compared to the Cubs?
>>69285017
>I'm assuming the Giants have played more games, and have one or two more losses in addition to those wins, compared to the Cubs?
The Giants have 1 more win and 2 more losses so ESPN standings have the Giants a half game back.
>>69284828
Why is Ortiz getting a free pass these days?
Everyone dumps on A-Rod, but Ortiz is treated like a hero. They are equally guilty.
>>69285058
Because he's fat

>>69282598
>>69282675
Stop talking about my Coffee Queen
>>69285041
yeah. don't sweat it.
>>69285058
the "leaked" list with Manny's and Ortiz' names on them was kind of swept under the rug by the league/media, seeing as the roid firestorm was still blazing.
As for Ortiz being a hero while A-Rod is seen as a villain, well, my best guess is that A-Rod has a very unlikable personality, and he's been caught, with concrete proof, multiple times, while Ortiz could cheer up the most miserable person in the world with his persona.
Ortiz also has the clutch factor; you could put together a whole chapter of Ken Burns' baseball full of his walk-off hits, especially in the playoffs. A-Rod's most prominent moment in the playoffs has been, and always will be, the bitchmode interference play in 2004.
Despite being from the bay area I never understood exactly what happened with Bonds and the steroids? I was pretty young so I never really payed attention to off the field stuff. Can someone explain it to me?
>>69285286
This guy named Victor Conte had a vitamins and supplement store called BALCO in the Bay Area that was basically a front for steroids. He started dealing to lots of high profile athletes in different sports. Bonds' "trainer" Greg Anderson was pretty much the middle man between the two and BALCO was eventually investigated and raided but nothing solid enough was found to incriminate Bonds. Conte and Anderson both did jail time for refusing to testify against Bonds
>>69285375
So nothing was ever proven that Bonds took steroids but everyone pretty much knows it? Also who were some of the other athletes BALCO was supplying steroids to? And why "trainer" was he literally just a dealer they called a trainer?
>>69281863
Also id like to ask
What is it with you people and your obsession with a team that you arent even a fan of?
>>69285476
Yeah, I mean just using common sense you would see he was obviously on steroids. I'm a Giants fan too, not some bitter fan of another team or something. Other athletes were Bill Romanowski, linebacker in the NFL. Different Olympians including Marion Jones who was winning a shit ton of gold medals. A good amount of baseball players including Jason Giambi. There's more but I can't remember. Greg Anderson was a trainer, but he was just scraping by training people at a Gold's gym or some shit until Bonds ran into him, they knew each other as kids.
>Mets have scored only 310 runs, the 3rd fewest by any team this season.

>>69285585
>Bill Romanowski
Fuck I remember him he was awesome.
Well thanks for the brief history lesson.
>>69285621
one theory also has it that Bonds started roiding in 1999, jealous of McGwire and Sosa being one-dimensional HR machines while he (felt) that he was the best all-around player in the game, and it really started to show when he broke McGwire's record in 2001.

There's no way. He'll probably still win the Cy Young unless he ends up being out for a really long time
>>69286255
Yes I concur aussiebro. Baseball is such a better sport than that apehoop shit too whi h might as well be on the same level as WWE as a sport
>>69286387
apehoop is 40 minutes a night off refball and 5 minutes of actual interesting sport. i don't know why they don't just play 140 5 minute games per season
>>69286339
if he comes back in a reasonable time, cy young. even if he had played the whole season he probably would have been cucked out of it
>>69286339
Postseason never has any implications in regular season awards considering all votes are taken in after the regular season ends and before the postseason starts.
>>69286265
I could name 5 other players more deserving than bogaerts.
>>69286387
How can apehoop keep doing this with "super star teams" banding up in free agency and killing parity.
This century alone:
>Celtics
>Heat
>now Warriors
>>69286361
>>69286432
seen his numbers? He's pitching at an unearthly level.
>leads league (standard stats) in ERA, CG, SHO,
>leads league (advanced/SABR stats) in ERA+, FIP [one-tenth better than his ERA], WHIP, H/9, and SO:BB ratio
>current WHIP would set the single-season record
if he ends up getting those 40-ish more innings to qualify for league leader lists, he gets the MVP. Right now, who is his competition for NL MVP? He's head and shoulders above everyone else, even while injured.

You mean multiple knocks.
>>69286361
>>69286636
Yeah but wouldn't it hurt this MVP chances if the team is doing so well. Dodgers only lost once since he was injured if IIRC.
Thats hardly a case of the team needing its MVP to win, in the literal sense at least.
>>69286686
>multiple
what, being shit in the postseason? it was a joke, m8y. what else is a "knock" against him
>>69286636
i'm not saying his numbers aren't worthy. a slightly bad back can turn into a very bad season ending back quickly though. voters have a tough time voting pitchers who pitch the full year, let alone half of one
>>69286665

>>69286749
11 hours? Can't sleep really? Shit what do you do? Recreational drug tester?
I'm assuming 25 hours includes stop overs and transfers. Otherwise travel is usually comfy since you can just sit there and marathon some movies / shows.

>>69286749
he's pitching at too high a level to be snubbed. this is 2000 Pedro (slightly better than his '99 season despite the worse record), but even better. No, Pedro didn't get MVP either of those years (I-Rod and Giambi, respectively), but still who is Kershaw competing with for the award?
It's a pitcher's league right now, and yes, since the advent of roid testing, there's only been two pitcher MVPs (Verlander, then CK 2 years ago). But it's really hard to ignore the numbers and stature, even with his bad back. I mean, ffs, he still leads the NL in WAR (4.9), and is very close to Trout (5.2) for the MLB lead.
What happened to Dallas Keuchel? His ERA is literally twice as high as it was last year
>>69287298
you can only blow people away with mid 80's stuff for so long
>>69286969
i agree with you, i just don't think this back thing is as minor as is being reported. i hope he gets it, but a great position player will wrack up better meme stats (WAR counts for nothing in MVP balloting mr trout) and cuck him out of it if he's out for too long
If you had to make a prediction on the AL Cy young winner, who would it be? The easy choice seems to be sale but I honestly think it could go to Salazar.

I'm starting to hate my team, they have a lot of talent on the roster but still seam to be way under .500. Jake lamb, Goldy, greinke, segura, are all star caliber players. Maybe next year with a healthy Pollock, and peralta will be different
>>69289463
I will right now trade you RHP Chris Young for Zack Greinke straight up and down
I love you all
>>69289580
glad to see the Astros getting back into form but they still cant beat the Rangers
>>69289608
They'll beat them when they are playing at home and the games don't matter.
They will turn around against them when the bullpen stops fucking up
YANKEES SUCK
Texas Rangers are the best team baseball has seen in the modern era
>>69289463
Aren't they the youngest team in the league? Guys like segura Lamb Drury Goldschmidt Pollock Miller are all relatively young. It's just the curse of winning the off season.
>>69281887
Get rid of the blue jays
>>69290699
Yea they are, Goldy is still in his 20s and pollock
>>69290779
To me they're just going through growing pains. There's a bunch of guys under the age of 25 on that roster. They're in a better situation than a lot of other teams.
>>69281887
Everytime Bawwtista gets to second he gets punched by the other teams second baseman as per the new tradition that Odor started
>>69290871
They need to fire chip hale and the pitching coach
>>69290753
>>69290948
im sick and tired of all this bullying, fuck you we did nothing wrong to anyone and we dont deserve to be persecuted like this. Im reporting every anti canadian post from now on this isnt right
>>69290948
You wouldn't think a much smaller man in Odor would be able to lay flat a bigger fellow like Jose Bautista. But everyone saw it happen. Odor made Jose Bautista literally fall asleep on second base. Kind of sad if you think about it, getting rocked to actual sleep by a man much, much smaller than yourself.
>>69281936
That's 2 more world series rings than 7 other teams have.
>>69291222
I'm okay with the Jasy
>>69291352
But Odor didn't knock out Bautista. That's what's surprising, he got a solid right hook in and Bautista didn't even seem hurt by it.
>>69290948
>Play Ball
>>69291476
If you can't take one punch you shouldn't playing the the MLB
that being said Bautista "taking" the hit and not falling down isnt some amazing thing.
>>69284512
OH SHIT
I need to watch that tonight thanks for the reminder
>>69291352
Didn't even phase him, if your going to sucker punch someone you should at least lay them out
>>69291534
Anon quoted above was just talking about how Odor "laid out" Bautista, but the point is that's not at all what happened. IIRC he didn't go on the DL. And I'm pretty sure a full on punch to the jaw is a knock-out threat from anyone that can decently throw a punch.
>>69284512
Im about to stir up a debate that hasnt been discussed on /sp/ since before flags were a thing:
Keeping in mind the careers they've had who would you rather have as your #1 pitcher
Nolan Ryan
or
Greg Maddux
?
>>69291785
Nolan Ryan is the greatest pitcher of all time so it's really a no-brainer.
>>69291714
If that were the case most fights would end after a single punch but that doesnt happen. Its a pretty standard for any type of athlete that isnt a divegrass player to be able to stand a punch.
It wasnt that great of a connection by boxing standards and its not like Bautista wasnt completely blind sided by it and his head didnt do that whole snap that causes most knockouts
>>69291714
Maybe a slight exaggeration but Jose Bautista was forced to a knee and needed to call in his teammates to help him.
>>69291912
Beltre grabbed him right after. But why the fuck are we talking about this again? Odor threw a punch that was as clean as you'll ever see. It's obvious Bautista has a fairly strong chin because he got fucking hit real hard.
>>69292005
>strong chin
He's on the DL with chin strain right this very minute.
>>69291849
>>69291785
quit samefagging, tiki
the answer is obviously Greg Maddux
>>69291912
>needed to call in his teammates to help him.
Because a player getting pushed and punched by an opposing team player never results in a bench clearing.
>Robin tries Avila DHing
>he starts doing okay
>Avila to DL
HE STRIKES AGAIN, SOMEONE STOP HIM
>>69292066
>He begged for help because he was getting beat and hard too!
We're essentially saying the same thing.
>>69292066
you are exaggerating. Beltre knew what was up being a teammate of Odor and he has played against Bautista plenty of times before.
Beltre knew Bautista was only looking for a bench clearing shoving match and nothing more.
Beltre also knew that Odor wasn't going to take that bullshit slide after being disrespected
so Beltre did the logical thing and held back Bautista getting him to safety.
Beltre is a complete bro
Texas Rangers going all the way this year.

Beltre = 100% first Ballot. Period.
Pujols = 100%. unless he plays out the Angels contract in such a bad way that absolutely kills his career stats and even then 95%
Mauer = 80% Underrated. Will be in the HoF but not sure if 1st ballot or not.
Beltran = HoF yes. 1st ballot no
A Rod = as much as I hate him unless the ped scandal is keeping him in the doghouse with the voters he will be HoF
wasnt this supposed to be the red sox's year?
they were so hyped up when they got price and they're in third place
>>69292668
their pitching suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks tho
>>69292627
There's no fucking chance a rod makes it. He tested positive twice for PEDs. Bonds and Clemens aren't in purely on allegations.
>>69292687
I will not disagree at all. Fuck him I dont want him in there
>>69292687
>allegations
clemens came out and admitted he used ped's
>>69292627
I think they are all worthy, with Mauer having the weakest case.

Now, which of these active second basemen should make the Hall?
>Chase Utley
>Robinson Cano
>Dustin Pedroia
>Ian Kinsler
>>69293229
None of them, but Cano will.

The "future" of Pie Rats pitching

How does one curse Avi.
>>69293639
Maybe he is distantly related to someone from the 1919 Black Sox.
>>69293735
He came from the tigers though.

Then maybe he said something bad about Little Ceasars.

What about Jeff Locke?
if your 9th batter leads off and neither him nor your 1st batter get on base, would you rather have your second batter get on and hope for a 2 out rally or see your 3 4 5 lead off next inning?
>>69293997
I kekd
>>69294045
why?
>half the all star game starters were drafted by theo epstein
why did the red cucks fire him again? The cubs should give him a lifetime contract and just carte blanche to do whatever the fuck he wants
>>69294056
Even Pie Rats fans look at the guy as mediocre. He's not consistent. #3 starter is as high as he will ever be unless something catastrophic happens when he absolutely has to be a 1 or 2. Taillon and the other kid they just called up are their future stars.
>>69294130
he was an All-Star tho
>>69294167
3 years ago. Since then he's been 7-6 and 8-11, 8-5 this season with an increasing ERA each year.
>this is a """"""ten"""""" in analslime
>>69294105
Because the red cucks are a win always organization not rebuild and see what happens, although he did somehow crap shoot his way to a champ so idek

Why you so obsessed with this girl? She's kinda looks like a dude desu.

>singular
his drafting BUILT the team we had for a good four to five years. Lester, Pedroia, Tacoby Bellsbury, >Buchholz, Jed Lowrie, Justin Masterson (yeah yeah not great I know but he was a de facto ace elsewhere), meme team infielder Brandon Belt, Reddick, ANTHONY RIZZO (shame he blossomed in Chicago), my man Christian Vazquez, Travis Shaw, Swihart, JBJ, and Mookie were all drafted under Theo's guidance. He is the sole reason Lester didn't come back to Boston this year (that, and upper management fucking up negotiations for an entire season).
Not a Cubs fan, but Theo is a genius. If he can turn around a moribund franchise like the early 00s Red Sox, then he can and has done wonders for the Cusb.
