Don't go for an outfielder early since there's so much depth in that area. Try to get elite pitching first.

>>66429292
It's Easter and there are fewer degenerates in baseball fandom than for other sports, plus spring training is pretty boring.

i could write a novel about this evening, but it was one of the happiest moments of my life. i overcame a bunch of personal bullshit that summer and kind of took my life back, i was on a really good date at this game and the reds still had a glimmer of hope as a contender back then. this was back when mattingly was about to get axed until the dodgers went on that crazy 45-5 run or whatever, they were easily the hottest team in baseball, and the reds swept them on the strength of two walk-offs. i was lucky enough to be at both of those games, and i will never ever forget the feeling i experienced at the end of this sequence, it was pure and total elation
>>66429551
Welcome home, PickCincy. You're among friends here. You're safe now.
>>66429078
They didn't call it a hit. That's the point.
>>66429620
they said it was fair though as in a hit and the ump did the safe movement
>>66429606

The ump made the foul ball signal. Trust me, it was a no-hitter. We're not making it up.
>>66429758
m8 this is a foul ball signal
>white sox pitching
But at the same time, dat offense
>>66429805
What offense?
>>66429805
>they actually tied it
Not 2 minutes ago and I saw the score and it was 5-0.
I'm shocked that they tied a 4+ run deficit in back to back games. I know it's ST and all, but wow.
But then again, I can't compare this team to the 2013 offense. I can't get it out of my system.
>>66429862
Even if it's spring, it's still different from all those other springs in that they're actually showing life. With the exception of Rodon yesterday it's mostly been the 5th possible starters getting shelled and in the bullpen usually Dan Jennings wholl most likely be cut.
>Who's the most-discussed non-contending team in /mlb/?
Yes, that's correct. The Whos are the most-discussed non-contending team here in /mlb/.
>>66429790
It doesn't matter. It wasn't called a hit.
>>66429968
was it supposed to be? whats the mystery behind it

Watching that come back was something magical and honestly a miracle out of the world it felt at the time but watching them win that game and move on to the ALDS honestly made me feel happier then them winning the series in 2015 because that was really the first time I had real, nondelusional hope for the franchise.

Only problem with this team is the bullpen. Offense was amoung the best in the league, defense is elite, starting pitching is top 10. Why do u hate the snakes?

>>66436616
>Offense was amoung the best in the league
Eh, not really, the amount of runs scored can be attributed to Chase, and the NL West having pretty shit pitching last year.
>defense is elite
This is true. Kansas are probably better now that Ender is gone, but the Dbacks are probably still the best defensively in the NL
>starting pitching is top 10
Borderline number 10 if we're being reasonable. Rubby needs to be gone by next year. I worry that Stews gonna trade Archie away.

Top of the rotation potential. He is still 23 though, so maybe he needs to develope a bit more. Still, he should be in the rotation once Rubby shits the bed.
>Zach godley was pretty good last year
Yeah, but I think that's just becuase nobody had gotten a look at him and he just wasn't throwing a lot of strikes.

This is completely wrong.
Ignore positions and go for the best offensive players available for your first 4 picks (at least).
Pitching comes later. There are great pitchers available in almost every round this year.
Baseball right now favors the pitcher, so a staff of 6 very good pitchers will compete with the other teams plus you'll have a premium on offense.

If they can get (and keep) late 2015 Porcello, he's a solid middle rotation starter. There were games he showed up for last year but had no offense support, so if they can start competing in games where 2-4 runs have been scored, there's a chance at playoffs.
The Joe Kelly experiment needs to end this year.

Hello everyone,
How are you today? Healthy? Weather's kind of awry, but that's alright. Nothing to get too down over, don't you think?
Anyhow, if you'll please excuse me for the remained of this post, I would like to impart upon you some information that I think is pertinent to explaining how I myself and doing and feeling.
As you are all most likely aware, I myself am a fan of THE Boston Red Sox (est. 1901). It also happens, as you may well know, that they currently have a pitcher on their roster named Frederick Alfred "Rick" Porcello III.
This particular individual was signed last year by the Red Sox to a 4 year, $80 Million contract. With an average annual value of roughly $20 Million dollars.
This also roughly translates to 117 Million grapes earned per year.
Granted, many of you are probably aware that he did not have what many would also to claim "his best year"
In fact, it was statistically the worst of his career, although sadly not by much. Thus, as many of you are probably thinking, he has put in the effort during the offseason to improve upon his pitching, gain greater ground, and prove his worth of that 117 Million coveted grapes.
Right?
Well, here are some stats from THIS SPRING TRAINING:
Porcello has pitched 15 and 2/3 innings.
He has:
29 Hits allowed, 17 Runs Earned, 4 Walks, and a lofty 9 Strikeouts.
In today's game alone, he pitched 6 and 2/3, allowed 10 Hits and 5 Earned Runs with 3 Walks.
In totality of this spring, he has: A 9.77 ERA
..
。。。
。。。。。。。。。。
In summation, there are not the words that exist in my colorful vocabulary to relay and convey to you, my intensely listening and always cordial audience, the extreme, robust, flagrant and flamboyant hatred that I have for this man.
Thus, I'll show it in the way I know best:
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
GET OFF MY FUCKING TEAM
1. How is it possible that Matt Bush can throw over 100 mph despite not touching a baseball for almost 4 years?
2. Will Matt Bush ever play in the Majors ever again?
3. If Matt Bush ever makes it to the Majors how well do you think he will do?
4. How long do you think will he last until he regress back to his old ways or do you think he will have sort of a redemption like Josh Hamilton?
I hope for some great responses guys also fuck the Angels and the Astros aren't as good as everyone thinks :^)

I've always been a fan of Theo's philosphy on letting players play until they truly show that they can't. He did it all throughout his time in Boston and even with the Cubs. The Sox need to just throw Davidson out there and let him fucking play 3B until he shows them that he can't. He has talent.

My bad, I completely forgot that they traded for him. I was writing under the impression that Saladino was gonna man 3B. In that case, the Avisail Garcia experiment needs to end. The guy can touch baseballs with his bat buts that's as far as his talent has ever gone.
Either way, I'm in favor of finding MLB time for Davidson. He's got options on his contract and has power. He shouldn't just rot at AAA, where he has shown success.

Of you're going off mashing in ST, Avi Garcia has purported a new stance and swing he worked on with Steverson and though I am a skeptic, it has shown results in ST so far, really good results. It's looking to be a very tight battle for DH with only a few more games left to go. Really wonder who'll make it.
>yfw they sign TCQ for DH and he mashes without worry for injuries playing defense

Well, the cell is supposed to be one of the hitter friendliest parks. Last year the opponent's knew that, it's time we knew that again. I want to believe. Fireworks galore this summer!

And they still do. I grow worried about the rotation that's not Sale and Q.

No park is more hitter friendly that Coors Field. Why does it exist again?

Ah yeah as do I. Just hoping the best for Rodon. I think he'll be the biggest make or break the team player. If the offense can actually do what they've been doing here, then bad outings from Latos or Danks might not sting so much. But that all seems too hopeful. Lost in the balls flying in the hot summer air is the ball not flying off melky's bat. He's down to a .185 avg now. I don't know if that should be concerning but it might be when the rest of the team is practically hitting at will.

there is no low elevation point in Colorado
also only one other real, but not real enough for an MLB team, city, colorado springs, and it is higher than Denver
just be thankful that we're not like mexico, most of the country is like 1.5 miles high
>39 combined runs in the two games in mexico city
mexico city is 1.4 miles
