Honestly, chewing tobacco and tobacco in general is stupid. I used to chew sometimes, but it's just so pointless. You feel like shit if you go without it for too long. Better to just not get into it or to only do it once in a blue moon. Obviously it's everybody's life to live how they want and I would never tell anybody they can't, I just think they should think about it

Cueto for 2 innings
Scherzer for 2 innings
Fernadez for 1 inning (2 if Cueto or Scherzer struggle and have to be pulled earlier than planned)
Pomeranz for 1 inning
Ramos/Melancon for 1 inning
Familia for 1 inning
Jansen for 1 inning
Lester as a LOOGY is needed
Melancon relieves any of the SPs if they can't finish an inning (otherwise gets the 7th)
Ideally:
1st inning: Cueto
2nd inning: Cueto
3rd inning: Scherzer
4th inning: Scherzer
5th inning: Fernandez
6th inning: Pomeranz
7th inning: Melancon
8th inning: Familia
9th inning: Jansen
>>69498575
Collins said in an interview earlier today that Familia is only going to pitch if the NL is leading in the 9th.
>>69498588
Jansen's been better by every metric, but that's Memey Collins for you
probably gonna give Bartolo the 5th too
>>69498610
He also said Bart is gonna pitch if the game goes into extras and will probably go 4 or 5 innings if the game lasts that long
Was the wild card a mistake?

Pitchers are far more likely to get out when they go up to bat, but that just makes it all the fucking sweeter when a pitcher hits a home run.
Same nine men on defense and offense. Fuck that DH pussy shit.
>Fuck that DH pussy shit.
So if Adrian Beltre plays one more season after this season he'll pass 3,000 hits and be around 450 homeruns. He's also a 4 time gold glover an and doesn't like when people touch his head

do all national league teams minor league affiliates also play in leagues where the pitcher hits?
>>69498684
I don't get 2013. Both teams had the same record so what criteria was used to list STL instead of Boston.
>>69501049
I think triple A teams do that. Not entirely sure though.
the all-star game thread is going to be cancerous
>>69502822
i predict it will be much like an /mlb/ general
>>69502849

dosen't the 4chan spam filter block the trucks now?
found this '''''full-blooded american's'''''' guide for yuros to pick a MLB team to follow:
i wont post link for the faggot to get views though
>Cleveland Indians – Here is the Cleveland Indians logo Chief Wahoo, a stylized caricature of a Native American. That will likely disqualify Cleveland from becoming your favorite American baseball team. Good decision.
>Atlanta Braves - Stear clear of this franchise. First, they have long featured racist Native American iconography, including their old mascot Chief Noc-A-Homa
>St. Louis Cardinals - Listen, David Eckstein was an OK player, but fans and media beatified him because he was short, WHITE and appeared unathletic. It’s the same reason Peyton Hillis was on a Madden cover. Don’t support the Cardinals.
Is he the best power hitter currently in baseball?
Sure his average is not the best but his yardage is not human
>>69503350
Yo does the ascii tank still work
>>69505328
He unequivocally has the most power in mlb. Doesn't necessarily mean he will hit the most home runs but he certainly hits them the furthest.
>>69505328
He's a good example of 'swing hard incase you hit it' unfortunately he doesn't hit it enough
>>69505328
there's few hitters that have ever had the gift for distance that he has. Off the top of my head I can only think of Dave Kingman and Mark McGwire.
when do the red sox and cubs play?
>>69505236
Trucks are pivotal to Pilates deliveries, so I think they get a pass for MLB related endeavors.
What are the chances the rays trade odorizzi, moore or smyly within the division? I'm guessing not very likely.
>>69505661
I'm actually tempted to blackmail Duke into pursuing Tampa pitching.
Yes, even Jaden.
>>69505696
It sucks because they have the most cost efficient arms but its so unlikely they're willing to trade guys like that within the division.
Now that the dust has settled, who won?
>>69505994
We got Mark Buehrle. That man was so based he was worth the trade all by myself.
>>69506096
Sox fan here, can attest to that.
THAT'S HIT WELL
INTO THE CORNER
IT IS GONE!! A GRANDSLAM!!
high fly ball to left-center

Bonds with 600 career home runs..
busted his bat, Encarnancion is back...make it 601
can you believe it
>>69506096
this, Buehrle won't make the HOF because the type of pitcher he is mad underrated, but he's the #1 guy I think of when someone says "solid, workhorse pitcher who eats innings for breakfast." (Nobody has ever actually said this to me, but you get the gist.) Kind of Curt Schilling Lite since he doesn't get a lot of Ks.
RIGHT FIELD, THAT'S HEADED FOR THE WATER
AND BONDS HAS HIS SECOND GRANDSLAM OF THE YEAR
>>69506884
was that supposed to be from 2013? I thought that one was robbed by Beltran and permanently rekt his ribcage
THERE'S A HIGH DRIVE
DEEP TO RIGHT-CENTER FIELD, TO THE BIG PART OF THE BALLPARK
NUMBER 71!
AND WHAT A SHOT! OVER THE 421 FOOT MARKER
>>69506985

>>69506961
>muh innings eater
he won't make the HOF because he doesn't deserve to
modern day Jack Morris
ripped into right field. It's a one-run game as Bonds gets his second of the series
that is crushed!
deep into the night, and it's 4-0 San Francisco
>>69507014
Modern day Morris, with less of a peak too, I should add
SWING AND A LONG ONE
THIS ONE IS WAY BACK

HE'S DONE IT AGAIN
SIX SIXTY ONE
And now he's alone in third place behind Aaron and Ruth
Barry Bonds, deep drive right field, seven fourteen
Bonds hits it high and deep to left
OUTTA HERE!
seven fifty five for Barry Bonds
Bonds is now tied with the great Hank Aaron
BONDS HITS IT HIGH
HITS IT DEEP
IT IS
OUTTAAAAA HEREEEEEE
SEVEN FIFTY SIX
BONDS STANDS ALONE
He is on top of the all-time home run list
What a special moment for Barry Bonds
>>69506961
He was the definition of consistency and an outstanding work ethic. You honestly can't ask for much more than that. He was one of my favourite blue jays when he played.
hit deep to center
Grissom back..
SIXTY!
High drive, deep left field
That's Sosa's 20th in June
the 2-1..
SWUNG ON, THERE SHE GOES
NUMBER SIXTY-TWO
MOVE OVER BIG MAC YOU GOT COMPANY
