I know I post this a lot but Shitposting and personalities aside.

Can we all take a moment to appreciate this career?

Decades from know people will talk about Clayton Kershaw in the same breath that they speak of me or even the dalai lama.

Incredible is what he is.
I literally cannot believe this career.

Look at how much better he's gotten year after year.

An ERA no bigger than 2.7 when pitching at least 200 innings.

Wow.

That moment when you realize when the Yankees have a top 10 rotation and lineup and the best bullpen by a long way. BTW, Betences is better then Kenly or whatever that faggots name is. Im waiting for a Dodger/Yankee World Series, because that's what it'll be, and all you fags will start crying cus >muh projections , and the Yankees will collect their 28th ring. Also, the dodgers are easily the best NL team, with the best rotation IMO (dont really follow NL but I know dodgers will be clinch pennant) besides the Yankees. Way better rotation than the shitty ass Mets, lol. All their rookie fags will blow out their arms, so much for their "legacy", lol.

The Yankees have the 2nd most wins in that period (543 to the Cardinals 551). That's a pretty big disappointment for the Yankees, who are used to #1 and winning more rings.

10 playoff wins in the same period. STL has 32, SF has 23, KC has 22, TEX has 20, DET has 17, BOS has 11 (only one postseason appearance in last five years). 6th best in playoff wins and that's the Yankees at their worst. Pretty incredible to think about, really. Basically, if you are a fan of a team that I have not listed in this comment, you should kill yourself because your team is an absolute joke.

Edison Volquez 3 finger change although it just looks like a palmed 4 seamer released with the middle finger.

When I think of sale, I think of his slider and fb, not his change. I haven't looked at his whiff% on it. He owns the highest whiff% of any pitch in baseball with his slider tho.

Literally last weekend people were talking about how depleted the Yankees bullpen is now, and how it's only Betances and Miller. They just traded two relievers that played a huge part for the team, so a void needed to be filled. The Chapman trade is great, especially for what they gave for him.

Never heard it so loud in my life. Like millions around the country flipped along with Bats. Letting go of a couple decades of frustration.

He was reaching over the railing but the reason it was called a homerun is that it was going to hit the top of the railing/go over anyways without the kids glove right there which is a homerun in Kauffman. Keep living in your Canadian fantasy though where that wasn't a homerun and the ump later in the game screwed you guys on the strikezone and you went on to beat the mets in the world series.

Because that's all you'll have since the jays won't even make postseason in 2016 and the royals will win the division again.

>In the peak of the amateur era of baseball in the 1860s, the strongest team in the Quaker State was the Athletic Base Ball Club of Philadelphia, or just "Athletic" for short. Prior to the early 1900s, this club was typically always listed in standings as "Athletic" rather than "Philadelphia". When called the "Athletics" it was the pluralized style of the day, just as the National League entry would have been called the "Philadelphias".

I met a guy on Tumblr (no joke) that was into piss and asked to pee on my hair. He tried to force me to drink it, but I just splashed his pee away when he began to urinate. He wasn't super depressed or anything but he was clinically retarded. He even wrote me a fictional story in which my dad fingers 7-year-old me. Fucking gross.
He bragged about how he was into playing around with his own dad (he called him daddy), he was super clingy, and super histrionic over everything (he spends all day on that /sp/ board lol)
I don't talk to him very much at all anymore except for when he snapchats me nudes or nudes of dudes he is (clearly) fucking.
His penis was really small, the sex sucked, and to this day I have a fear of public restrooms.

yeah I realize this, but guys like KGJ are guarantees. I'm not saying KGJ isn't worthy, just that he'll get in no matter what; "outside" guys like Walker are getting gypped because of the writers' tempter tantrums over any roid-connected or "suspected" dudes like Bagwell and need the votes to stay on the ballot.

denying Barry Bonds, the greatest player in the history of Major League Baseball, election to the Hall of Fame is a travesty.

Guys, if this bullpen think gets more out of hand, what will a quality start be? 5 innings and 2 runs?

QS should be 6 innnings 2 run or 7 innings 3 runs

6 innings 3 runs is too easy
>translates to a 4.50 ERA

if you're counting "cultural influence", maybe Ruth is. But otherwise Bonds is better in every way except for never having been a pitcher.

never thought about it that way. QS should translate to 3.00 or 3.50 ERA, max.
