Cano on pace for 162 dingers this year lads.
>all those jays bandwagoners in the trip
Disgusting. Who let then into this country?
Dare we dream of 3-0 tonight?
Dreams pls
Mariners on that dinger game.
>>66630552
Didnt Rodon have an awful Spring?
When are the Yanks going to get good again? I'm tired of rooting for a team of old men with joint problems.
>>66630613
And we're against Gray and we don't know where Rodon's control issues will be.
Welp, I did say dream. I guess I should correct it to pipe dream. Or divine miracle.

I believe Bryce Harper will be the most hated athlete ever once he signs with the Yankees. I like him as a nat but I will 100% hate his fucking guts when he signs with the Yankees.

>>66630837
He'll be the next A-Rod, except without the PEDs (hopefully). I hope for his sake that he lives up to the contract, because he'll get torn apart by New Yorkers if he doesn't
>>66630900
If he stays healthy he will live up to his contract.

INCOMING REBUILDING MODE:
This aging roster is going to regress and the offensive production will be weaker.
Led by an incompetent manager, this team is heading into rebuilding mode sooner than excepted coming off a 100 win season.
I am a Cardinals fan, but I see the writing on the wall. This team *might* be able to compete for the 2nd wild-card this season through the use of a good bullpen and a little luck, but the pipeline is drying up. There are not enough position players in the farm system to make an impact in the coming years. Too many players, such as Yadier Molina, are becoming liabilities rather than producers.
No amount of 'le devil magic meme' is going to save this team from it's impending fall from grace.

>>66632077
because they actually have the makeup of a good team and they weren't terrible last year
>>66632077
Have you seen their rotation and lineup? Plug in the stats and you'll see they'll easily win a wild card spot.
>>66632165

http://strawpoll.me/7298193
>>66632165
Didnt they have all of that last year?
>>66631554
Cards are much younger than people give them credit for, multiple big contacts are going to be coming off the books in these next few years. Ownership seems to be more willing to shell out big bucks for the right players (as evidenced by the Price and Heyward offers)
The farm isn't close to what it was but I think we'll be fine
>>66632298
It took us 5 tries but I think we finally found one that works.
>spend entire spring training hearing people bitch about the slide rule
>figure they'll shut up once the season starts and there's more to talk about
>nobody will shut up since last night
It's even worse since it's literally the only thing besides hockey and curling Canadians will talk about. I'm just going to have to buy an MLB.tv subscription so I can watch some games where they aren't bitching abut it.
>>66632919
Its more so the casual fans bitching about it. Honestly the right call was probably made. The real problem is the reality of that play being the norm. We're going to see a lot more double plays this year because runners will be wary of causing an automatic double play.
>>66632327
Last year we had Swisher, Bourn, and Moss and no Gomes or Lindor in the lineup for much of the 1st half
>>66633084
I just wish it had happened to another team so the Canadian announcers would stop going on about it. Every time there's any sort of review today they've been bringing it back up, even though Bautsita was clearly in the wrong and not making any attempt to stop himself sliding right past the plate.
It's going to happen again a number of times this season too. And then one of those times they're going to mess up and get the call wrong on review and it's going to open a whole new can of worms. Especially if it happens to one of the really big teams. Can you imagine Royals fans if it were to happen to them?

>>66634649
The moment people see the flag they shitpost like crazy about the Jays bandwagon. It's annoying as fuck.
>>66634737
Imagine living here. Last month everyone was huge into baseball because Raptors were doing decent. Now it's all about Jays. All because our hockey teams are the absolute worst and our new national Curling teams can't throw a rock to save their life.
>>66634605
Its a catch 22 m8. You want your team to do well but in the process it attracts so many casuals who are fucking stupid. If the jays don't do well this year I hope they fail hard so Shapiro can flip some of these players. If they're completely out of it by July I would love to see Atkins get rid of Edwin and Bautista for promising pitching prospects. I'm kind of sick and tired of the jays never having a good rotation.

Hell no. I mean, the kids ceiling is sky high but just like Syndergaard his arm will probably blow out before he reaches his full potential. If Ventura continues to grow he could be an elite pitcher in a couple of years but for now he just isnt in that discussion.
Plus Syndergaards stuff is just amazing. I was at the Royals game yesterday and his 98 or so mph sinker made people gasp

All Boston fans, and, for that matter, all people from Boston are assholes.Seriously, a bunch of alcoholic, insecure, inferiority-complex, crypto-racist, self-styled "blue collar", self-regarding "underdog" morons.What they lack in brains, creativity or numbers they more than make up for in volume and insanely blind allegiance to the most overrated small market in sports.If New York or, to a lesser extent, Los Angeles were wiped off the face of the map, what would Boston fans do? They would have no earthly reason to go on, as they thrive on the antipathy they feel toward their perceived betters. If Boston suddenly disappeared, NYC and LA would still have plenty to work on. The "rivalries" that Boston fans have fostered have always had a passion gap, because they've always meant more to the Bostonians then they did to anybody else. Sort of like a drunk short guy in a bar picking fights with anybody over 6'2".And furthermore, Boston is actually kind of a shitty town after you've seen all the historical relics/ruins from way back when it was a relevant city. For my money, it's a poor man's Philadelphia, and it's tough to stomach either of those places after you've spent any real time in New York.Not to malign New England. Beautiful part of the country. But Boston, specifically, blows.

I'm glad there are some Canadians that look at this sensibly.
I personally think the rule has gone a bit far, but it is the current rule and the right call was made. I think the fact that Bautista made contact with Forsythe when he was well to the side of the bag was made it overturned.

>>66637115
Exactly. I doubt Forsythe's throw was affected much by that grab, so there's a good chance he still throws it away. If Bautista had used his hands to hang onto the base, instead of using them to try and trip Forsythe, you would probably still have the 4-3 Blue Jays lead. Bautista tried to play dirty, got caught, and his team payed the price. Slide rule or not, you can't reach out and try to trip a fielder like that, it's no different then when Arod slapped Arroyo's glove back in '04.

hey guys. i probably wont watch more than 2 or 3 games but will we with the world series this year? is chris archer still elite? is kevin k still the most beautiful professional athlete who has ever lived?
>>66635877
They love criminals in Nigamore, so provided a BLM riot doesn't burn the city first, he'll be an Oriole once his suspension is up
>>66637337
Hey, at least you get to watch Donaldson for a couple more years after they leave, then he'll gtfo too. Watching Tulo crumble into dust should be fun too.
>>66637371
They let you post from prison Kyle?
>>66637371
the rays are gonna be a pretty pesky team, but I don't think they have enough pop
it's worth watching though because they do have a chance
>>66637337
I'm going to be honest I'm not really a big fan of massive signings and spending the most money. It deters from the scouts actually doing their job. This is why I respect small market teams who are able to compete with the big cities on a 1/3 of the salary.
>>66637371

Honestly that's probably your best course of action, at least after this year. Tulo won't get you much, contract is too expensive and he's too injury prone, but there are plenty of teams that'll pay handsomely for a couple years of Donaldson. Your farm is barren, so you'll need the prospects.

>>66637707

>>66638400
>>66638412
No manager is going to manage game 4 of the season the same way he manages post all-star break. You have to give guys innings early to get "warmed up" so to say. And you test them early so you know what you're getting the rest of the way. It really wasn't a bad idea.

>>66637398
you're acting like prospects arent a complete coin flip, do you have any idea how volatile they are? Pillar was a fucking 37th round pick while how many first rounders have ended up busting? There is no sekrit amazing scouting department that can find le hidden gems, you hoard as many promising young players as you can and pray to jewish allah that some of them turn out not complete shit
teams like the doyers, yankees and redsox have an inherent advantage because they arent limited by some cheap as fuck owner who puts profits over prestige or success
>>66638464

No shit moron. They even fail at that though because they can't win champions hips.

I know, I thought his stat was considered a career total. Well... Give Miller time. He's solid on defense at short and can actually play outfield. Still, I can't say he hits well, but I'd imagine the Rays is a better fit for him for the teams they'll face and the parks he'll play in.

>>66638635
I preferred 2012 desu, Skanks couldn't even hit us.
We're going to be this year's Rangers desu, there's no way we're not losing the AL Central with our new offense/rotation. Our bullpen probably isn't the best but we'll be scoring a ton more than the last 2 seasons. Might be our best offense in years
>>66638583
Yeah, they seem to be in a much better place. I will miss Tom Wilhelmson despite him throwing at Ianetta. But yeah, Jack Z and Bavasi were terrible GMs, and they certainly contribute to what's gone wrong with Seattle.

First game against the Royals was won because of a wild pitch that threw off the Royals mojo.
He told Perez while at his first at bat it was unintentional and he was sorry. Then when the Mets won that game heacted like it was totally a calculated move.
I'm not even a Royals fan and am a little upset about that pitch.

I like Scotty, he looks like he connects with the players well. Seeing our last 2 managers were Wedgie and Lloyd, this is also a breath of fresh air. Wedge was a fucking prick and Lloyd is the black version of Mike Scoscia with horrible bullpen management.

So I'm at the Yankee/Stros game right now and I was watching the pre-game practice. This girl about 8 or 9 comes on the field, it looked like she had cancer so let her meet some of the players. One of the coaches had the idea of her throwing a few pitches to a couple of the players during batting practice. She threw a few pitches to Texiera. He swung and missed on them and told her she was a really good pitcher.
Next came up Arod, he was telling her to "throw the heat" and "not hold anything back." First pitch was kind of lobbed towards the center and Arod just crushed it to right field. He had a little smirk after he did that. Next pitch and he sent it almost 500 feet to dead center. He starting laughing and told her to throw a little harder. So next pitch she put a lot into it and Arod hit a liner up the middle missing her head by about 2-3 feet. At this point he was hysterical. When he stopped laughing he said it was alright and pointed to Sabathia and said, "You still throw better than him."
The girl walked away to her parents crying. I saw him walking up to them and I thought he was going to apologize but instead he just looked the mom in the eye and said, “I swing a big bat but I got a bigger bat in my pants.” Both parents were looking at him incredulously and he just takes step back and swing at an imaginary ball and goes, “An A-bomb for Arod!.”
