Since there's still a contingent of sox fans lingering around here. Should we be worried about how much Frazier struggled with hanging curveballs and what looked to be inside and high fastballs in the zone repeatedly to the same location?
>>66604356
Okay the Sox are wishful thinking I'll give you that
The way I see it at minimum the AL central is a 3 Team race and at most a 4 Team race
>>66604373
Yes bench him immediately
Bring up Based Davidson!!!
>>66604036
My biggest fear as a rags fan is the injury bug. It's bit us hard in the ass for not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 straight years. I'm hoping this is the year our guys finally stay healthy and put together a really GOAT team that is hard to rival
hey guys, this has been bugging me all day, maybe yall can help. Daniel murphy looks like someone famous, but I can't put my finger on whom
>>66604400
Is it Daniel Murphy?
>>66604392
Same familia. Darvish really needs to come back from the surgery strong in May. Lewis and Perez need to be sharp, Hamels, Holland, and Darvish once he's back need to lead at the front end of the rotation. If all that is accomplished then the Rangers are a potential World Series Contender easily
Award predictions anyone?

I'm not sure if this is his year necessarily. I think he's a shoe in for the award next year if he's still eligible for it then
>>66604475
>rags
>>66604593
He won't be eligible next year, this is the year, and even then he probably won't even play becuase he sure as fuck isn't going to play over Beltre unless they slot his ass in LF which is also unlikely becuase of the Desmond signing.
Oh wait AL baseball there's a DH lmaoooooooooooo

>>66604661
>Tolleson
Kek the Rangers really pulled a rabbit out of their hat with that one. A set up man who was slapped into the closer role to pick up the pieces left by Neftali Feliz ends up turning into an outstanding closer who converted 35/37 saves last year
>>66604661
Osuna gonna have a huge year but he might not lead in saves with Kimbrel in the AL now.
it's going to be Kenley "14.3K/9" Jansen who leads the NL.
>>66604715
Your """"ace""" pitched like shit. Don't know why you're happy. A few dingers against Brewers pitching? AA teams could do that.

>>66604760
Why can't you respect the talent? Kimbrel is an active hall of famer who is an a level of his own when compared to other closers. He's THAT good, I understand that hating ass fa66ots like you exist but you have to respect the talent.
>>66604785
>active hall of famer
Look, I know you're too stupid to know what a Hall of Famer is, but there's no excuse for that kind of shitposting. Kimbrel is clearly not the pitcher he was even 2 years ago, and the Boston experiment will be a disaster
>>66604779

At least he showed up. The A's pitcher didn't play today cause he had the shits
>>66604791
You say this as if Kimbrel is some washed up veteran closer 2015 was the first time he posted AN ERA above 1.9 lmao he's a prolific strikeout pitcher who hardly ever puts the ball in the air, he's an active hall of famer who WILL BE a hall of famer if he keeps those numbers up for another 5 years.
If you plan on replying to me I want you to name 3 AL closers who have a superior career to Kimbrel. (you can't)
>>66604784
That's just how bullpens work. They're fickle like that.

Thank god you're just some know-nothing shitposter. Kimbrel has nothing on actual HOF closers and is nowhere close to getting there. That doesn't matter though because he's not far from losing it anyway. He'll be a non-roster invitee in 5 years
>Kimbrel is an AL closer despite having never pitched an inning in the league
Laughable
>>66604833
>retired
>retired or hasn't pitched in the last 2 seasons
>doesn't actually have better numbers than Kimbrel just older and has more saves
>>66604843
You do understand that closers from before 1985 didn't just close right? If anything at all current closers record more saves and have lower ERA's and superior all around metrics becuase their jobs are so specialized that they get put in and pulled at just the right time. I love how people here try and educate me on baseball like this is something I just casually turn on. You don't know more than me. You're stupid and don't couldn't even conceptualize the level of understanding that I consume baseball in.
Log off.
>this isn't an active hall of fame closer career becuase I'm a hating as fa66ot who feels intimidated by the fucking red sox
That's what's most sad here, not that you're blind to the talent, but that you're afraid of the fucking red sox lmao
Never, again, reply to me.
>>66604887
The Red Sox have to be leading after 8 innings to get a save though, thats why Kimbrel wont be leading the AL this year.
daily reminder that no matter what kershit does in the regular season he will always suck in october
>>66604916
See that's not the argument at all, it's that he sincerely thinks Kimbrel is baby bitch who can't close games. He's the best in the AL, by a good bit too.
I'm not a Braves or Sox homer, I just know to respect the talent..... And Kimbrel is talent that has to be respected regardless of your allegiance.

Safeco has the biggest beer selection in MLB
>>66605097
He just got paid millions when he already said he plays for the money years ago
It is not a contract year
He has to deal with a much lesser talented team overall so defense will be shoddy at best and the pitching staff is average at best
He is going to laze around you guys for the next two years until he is traded elsewhere and performs
>>66605625
I thought he said that he plays for the stakes in the chipoltle franchises he demands in each contract he signs?

Q will have a 3.17 ERA this season with an 8-10 record and 15 NDs
Also he will unironically be the best pitcher on the team. like he was last season. Other than that one stretch where he got a billion strikeouts (>muh strikeouts) Sale was pretty average last season, and Q had a lower ERA in the end.

/mlb/ I'm fairly new to watching baseball and have... well a lot of questions. Does the batter try to get a look at the pitcher's grip as the ball is being thrown? I know they've got to process a lot of information in a really short amount of time but it seems to me like they would take anything they could get in trying to figure out what's coming there way.

The difference is that those teams were in full rebuild mode for a while. The Memeners insistence on trying to contend every year means they'll be perpetually mediocre instead of sucking for a few years and then getting really good. Meanwhile, you've completely wasted Felix's prime. It's actually a lot like the whos and Chris Sale desu.
Why do people refer to Kershaw as "multiple entries"?

I think you're a bit lost, friend
Hones question here, do you guys think the Rockies have what it takes to reach the playoffs this year? From what I understand they have some nice bats, but their pitching isn't that great.
>>66612081
literally no chance
the bar has been raised so high for pitching in the national league. if you can't pitch you won't make the playoffs
>>66612081
No. They'd have to beat out the dodgers, giants and dbacks for the division and they'd still have to deal with the pirates, cards, cubs, mets and nats for the WC.
>>66612081
About as much chance as the Expos do

>>66609675
A lot of it is statistically driven. Certain pitch counts have standard pitches. For instance, it's highly unlikely someone with good fastball command will throw a slow breaking ball the first couple pitches. Also, batters are clued in on what to expect from any given starting pitcher before the game. Baseball is definitely a thinking man's sport.
>>66612978
actually its 7, since the 2010 season counts as the starting point and, including the 2010 season, this is the 7th season of this decade
>>66613077

How does that play out? Watching tape?
>>66604373
Reds fan here. Sometimes he goes through these slumps where he can't hit ANYTHING; he'll swing and miss or make very poor contact on very hittable pitches. I think sometimes it has to do with a hitch he'll develop in his swing. At the same time, sometimes he goes through these phases where he hits balls outside of the zone 400+ feet. Now, sometimes those slumps last a month. However, he is historically pretty good in April so I wouldn't be too concerned

As a Cubs fan for the last 18 years I can say Castro going was one of the sadder things I've seen happen to the team. For the longest time he was the only shining light on a team filled with trash. Damn shame he couldn't get a ring with the Cubs

That doesn't really answer the question, but it was hypothetical anyways. They're clearly all capitalistic. Each one decides its rules to best improve league business, which obviously can or cannot include caps. For whatever reason, MLB (and a handful of fans) continue perpetuating this dogmatic position that enacting caps (even though it already has one for the draft) makes it less Murrican. LOL. If you to improve the league's popularity while still keeping the same average salaries, implement a cap, floor, and revenue sharing. Trust me, it's going to get ugly for certain organizations when the bubble bursts on these massive TV deals. But whatever, this argument is made literally every day, and it's like talking to a brick wall.

>>66616781
can they just use a floor but not a cap?

Why are the Giants allowed to have such a stacked team?
Even the yankees/dodgers/other top spending teams have holes all over their lineups, but the Giants worst hitter won a silver slugger last year and they have one of the best hitting pitchers in modern history. The starting rotation has 2 legit aces, 2 above average to good pitchers and matt cain who could still be good. Bullpen still has a solid core 3 and 2 good young stars, probably the weakest link on the team somehow.
