Is this enough for you guys?
The Reds bullpen has an ERA of 6.54, ranking them dead last in all of Major League Baseball. The second worst team in this category, the San Diego Padres, have a bullpen ERA of 5.27, more than one whole number lower.

>>67317732
I've been going to games for years now? I felt firsthand the sadness.
I still remember when I went to a Buehrle start where he went 8 shutout innings. Only guy on the Sox with a run was a lillibomb. They took Buerhle out, out thornton in. He gave up a leadoff double then a flyour to left dropped by Juan Pierre leadig to a tie. In the 10th Kurt Suzuki hit a go ahead home run and I solemnly walked back home at near midnight.
Just who do you think you're talking to? I'm the longtime resident Sox dourer.
>>67317488
NL pitchers have a higher ERA overall and NL batters have a higher OPS. The last time the NL lead these categories at the end of a season was 1972.

This game.
I saw in person. Just one of the many over the last so many years and not even the worst. I told you the suffering and agony was real. I just can't buy into the team when I still remember games and years like this so vividly.
>>67318054
You claimed earlier that the team has brought you nothing but sadness and that you "think more realistically." Excuse me for interpreting that as bandwagondry.
I'll admit i've had my hopes dashed by this team more times than i can remember. But they also gave me a world series, and i root for them even when they are shit. I'm all in, every year because its the only way i'd respect myself if they did win it again.

But I do root for them even if they're shit. I just also have that expectation, sort of like just waiting for them to disappoint me again as they have so many times in the past.
It takes a lot more then one month of good Baseball to undo years upon years upon years of absolute dour.

>>67318283
Also to add. After that tragedy of a year that was 2011, I actually vowed to never go "All in" ever again. For those unknowing, the Sox motto that year was "All in" and after a ton of hype even projected to run away with the division, they finished like 3 under .500, 13 games behind , without even a chance for postseason contention by September.
One of the worst Baseball memories I ever had. Even 5 years later still not over it. So I will never ever go "All in" ever again.

Just be an on base guy. That's how people make outs in softball, by trying to hit home runs and hitting long fly balls for outs. It may not get you the birds m8, but it'll help your team win. Just hit bloops over the second baseman's head all day and go to a batting cage to perfect your swing
If you're set on being a power hitter though just swing like fuck
>>67318692
We have the worst 4-5 pitchers in baseball and have two of our best hitters out of our lineup and we're still in first place, things can only go up from here. Our meme magic is so strong that it will suffocate the Dodgers and we'll get into the playoffs no matter what. And we all know what happens once we get into the playoffs ;)

>Ben's magnificent, mastermind, genius IQ is --∞.
double negative there, my friend. may want to fix that for the next you paste this, I agree with its sentiments 100% though
>>67319680
He'll DH next year so there's that
>>67319771
Go fucking away, you never watch baseball I don't care about your opinion.
>>67319791
>going from Ortiz to Sandoval
>>67319848
That's realistically the only option they have. Sandobese WILL DH next year. Cap this.
>>67319791
I don't fucking want him to hit DH.
First off, that'd be a horrendous idea. He's not that good a fucking hitter in the regular season to warrant full DH rights. I'd rather use that as either a circulation spot for players needing rest and what not or as a spot for Hanley to sit in and never cause problems on the field.
A fucking <.280 lifetime hitter with like 5 HRs on average in the regular season. A fucking dream DH.
Secondly, that spot should literally be for Hanley, who I'll admit hits no better than Sandoshit. But at the very least he'll be more involved into the fucking games than Sandfatass will be, who will be too fucking busy posting on Instagram using the dugout Ipad to realize he should be up to bat.
If they can let Allen Fucking Craig and Rusney Castillo sit and rot in the minors for the entire season while costing about 100M, they can afford sitting that fat fuck down there until his contract's up.
>>67319992
Reminder that the general laughed at the gints when boston signes panda
>>67319992
Hanley is a far superior hitter than Sandoval is. What the fuck are you smoking?
>>67320033
Since going to boston sandoval has cost his team 1.1 war while duffy has been worth 5.5
By the end of the year boston will have paid 38 million for negative 1.1 war
I cant imagine how mad they would be if shaw didnt save third base
>>67320061
I suppose, but not by much. And he's been declining in recent years.
Definitely has more power than Sandoshit. So that alone should pop him into DH over Sandomcfatass
>>67320061
http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/ramirha01.shtml
http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/sandopa01.shtml
So ya, but you can look at the team splits and notice the similarities/how close one another are.
>>67320033
Are you serious? Holy shit...Panda was always a meme, he was just one of the better hitters on a team built around pitching that won in the postseason so he became well known. He became skinnier in his contract year only, the Giants weren't falling for it. Red Sux are dumb as shit for giving him that much money
>>67317488
>Cubs pitchers have better ERA
>in the babby league
literally meaningless
>>67320344
>4 outs a game
>Enough to widely change their ERA
keep grasping at straws.
>>67319992
What else are they going to do with him? He certainly can't field and they don't want to pay $95 mil for a bench player.
>>67320473
more like 2-3 outs a game. Pitchers don't usually stay in the game long enough to get a 4th plate appearance.
>>67320561
> they don't want to pay $95 mil for a bench player.
I don't give a shit what they want.
They're paying him through the fans fucking money. He should sit in the fucking minors and rot.
If they don't want to pay a player that absurd amount of money for nothing, maybe they should have fucking evaluated better.
>>67320561
I would hope they fied the best possible team, whether their bench is worth minimum or 20 mil
>>67320607
They didn't and now they're stuck.
>>67320650
No they aren't. They have Travis Shaw. They have more than 9 players they can play per game WITHOUT including Sandomcfatass.
They aren't stuck at all. They got fucking lucky that Shaw is GOAT.
Reminder that the 1969 Mets went from worst to first by winning their division, winning the NLCS and winning the World Series.
They didn't have to rely on another team tying a third team to do that.
>>67320716
Hes got about 300 mlb plate appearances. He looks solid but don't kid yourself.
>>67320946
Even mentioning soccer in /mlb/
Fuck off. Go tie elsewhere.
>>67320947
And in 300 plate appearances he's done more than Sandofatshit did with us in 400.
I don't fucking care. He's been very good in the field defensively and a big pick me up in the lineup.
He's batting over .300 right now. He's had a good enough sample size to say he's going to hit better than fucking .220

Show me the statistics that show that there is a clear difference between DH out percentages and pitchers
Shortstops traditionally don't hit for a high average, therefore they are a free out and deserve to be DH'd for

Pitchers get a hit half as often as position players and usually only bat 2 or three times a game. It's really not a huge difference

Wrong. Paulie overstayed his final years by at least 2 years and despite his obvious decline that wasba huge detriment to the offense, fans still loved him... upon him getting out of the lineup and retiring.

Not really. Pretty sure he was the only remaining player on the team who won a ring in '05. That and he had some monster seasons for us even in his mid 30's before his decline.

He could sign a 1 day contract and get a day like Paulie did.

Am i the only White Sox fan who feels at least a little bad for Danks?
I was at the 2008 blackout game. I remember his first few years with the team when he was good. He wasn't always bad and he was never a cocky or unlikeable player.
I get that he has tanked miserably since his injury and surgery. I also get that most of you are teenagers who have only seen him play like shit. But he was a genuinely good guy and it's sad to see his career with the Sox end this way.
YEEEEAH!
>>67326096
I do feel the same. Lots of bad starts and ruined birthdays give me a lot of negativity but I'm also a reasonable fan and I get what happened to him. It's a shame how it all went down. I mean it's not like he was purposely trying to suck and take money. He was out there trying, it just wasn't enough.
>>67322753

>>67326096
Its the big leagues anon. If you're not helping the team win or pulling your weight, you're gone. It's the same in any other job. If you're not doing what you're being paid to do, you're done. He's still at least getting paid millions to do not a whole lot. I don't feel bad for him at all.
>>67326096
I've met him before. Told this story a couple times in game threads but when me and my team worked at the Cell in concessions we would illegally park in the player's parking lot.
One fireworks night we were hurrying to clean up and get out of the park before the fireworks (since the players parking lot is right under where they launch them, the lot gates were locked for safety reason). As we were loading stuff on, John Danks walks up with a beer and jokingly gave us a hard time about parking there. We ended up hanging out with him for a bit and having a couple beers with him.
>>67326096
I'm so sorry he's made tons of money and is set for life, poor him
Yes I suppose he's met unfortunate circumstances, but in the grand scheme of things they're good unfortunate circumstances to have met. I'm sure he would agree with that.
guys I got really into baseball last season with the Royals and became a huge fan, but with how much they're sucking this year it just hurts to much to keep being a fan of them

I get that he makes a lot of money and that it mitigates a lot of what has gone on.
But he's still a person who's career has gone down in flames. I'd feel the same way about a doctor or scientist who crashed and burned trying to do what they love. Yes, they made a lot of money but it still probably upsets them greatly.
If he were a dickhead or if he was bad from the beginning i'd just say he can fuck off, but thats not the case. I can be glad the team is moving on while still mourning the career of a guy whose personality fit exactly what i look for in a pro athlete.

There's a big difference between "mediocre" (what you said first) and "great player" (what youre saying now). Maybe dont move the goalposts so much and the thread wont be clogged with responses to your blatantly retarded statements.

>>67326802

Hahahhaha, no. Buehrle was the top man. Once he exited, they overpaid danks, he gets injured and rides the bench while chris sale becomes the new ace.

>m-muh buehrle
buehrle was great senpai, obviously, but he was never some elite ace pitcher, especially in those later years. He was a solid top of the rotation guy, as was danks, and danks was slightly the better of the two for a few seasons
you're the one that needs to get over yourself, it's like your blaming the entirety of the sox ineptitude over the last few seasons on the fucking fifth starter of all people
>>67327089
>whosfans are the new lifelong jays fans
>yfw Canadian posters start pretending to be Americans
Shoes on the other foot now.
>>67327060
The Yankees are just killing time pretending to care about winning while they patiently wait for Haper to be a FA two years from now. It's hard to take many of their moves seriously since they got Tanaka.
I wonder if they still suck at the deadline if they will fire sale the team and really position themselves to be entering a protracted championship window upon getting Harper as a FA. Could you imagine the Yankees poured every cent they had into player development for a couple years, traded away a few nice pieces (Betances, Tanaka) for T50 prospects and then just added Harper on top of that? Plus in the AL they'd be the only team tanking, all the losses a tanking team could want right there. No risk of pulling a Phillies where the team is winning games ahead of schedule and fucking up the plan.
I'm not a Yankees hater or anything anymore, I think baseball has moved past that shit and realized the Red Sox are more annoying than the LE EBIL EMBIRE. I just wonder what would happen in the Yankees tanked for Harper, and cleared out all that payroll so they could absorb that half billion dollar contract Harper is going to get.
>>67327170
Uh wasn't that already done with the Royals?
>>67327085

He was signed as the next ace since they didn't have a leftie at the time. He was the highest paid player this year. He didn't become the fifth starter until the injury
>entirety of the sox ineptitude over the last few seasons
He being signed that much money and ventura being signed are two of the big reasons
>>67327257
maybe we have different definitions of mediocre, basically to me it's that he was an average player, nothing special at all other than how long he stuck around somehow
a bit above average hitter, a lot below average fielder
>>67327357
it was a good contract at the time, and I guess you could say those are two of the biggest excuses sure

I dont see the value in keeping around a bunch of expensive pitchers for 2 more seasons after this one if they dont plan on winning much. Why not deal Tanaka this deadline and get something serious for him?
Why not dump Tanaka and all those guys now and keep clearing money? Could you imagine the Yankees going into an offseason with like $40m in committed salaries for the upcoming season and a shitload of stud prospects? They'd roll everyone over and then some.
>>67327245
Fighting for the primary spot in a big market like new york really lowers their chances of fully tanking though. As a Yankees fan I really wish they would but they would lose so much money from all the casuals jumping to the Mest so it's really not feasible.

D-Train was damn good that year, though.
Only thing I can say now is that I'm content that they have finally gotten past the .500 threshold again after the Diamondback comeback today and hopefully we can make the NL East exciting.

Q is the 2nd best pitcher in the AL
>>67333919
she probably threw that cap away for a Mest one
>>67333911
I don't disagree, they're a great team with great pitching.
But it's fucking infuriating that the "#1 Offense in the AL" can only muster up 4 fucking hits and 1 run (a Hanley HR) against the other team.
Especially when your pitcher fucking gives up 3 HITS, and 2 EARNED RUNS.
#1 Offense in the AL? More like #1 Stat Padders in the AL.

that's not how it works
>>67333976
I know, when you're winning so many games, those rate losses tend to stick out like that
>>67333979
we're making history senpai
>>67334007
kek
>>67334028
Except that he has a 1.67 ERA
He is, as of right now (or was at the beginning of the game), the third best pitcher in the AL.
That is indeed how it works.
>>67334011
Our offense should have been able to win the pitching matchup.
WINDIANS April is over, May is warpath
You may only reply to this post if you're at least 10 games over 500
and have won a ws in the last hundred years
>>67334063
>>67334028
I should add, his ERA at the beginning of the game was 1.37.
>>67334041
Another year of the Cubs blowing it all isn't history you should be excited about
>>67333900
The thing about history is that it actually happened.
The thing about the current season is that it isn't over and is basically still hinging on the future, which can't be foretold.
So you have hope and nothing else. Nice, but
>attempt banter
More like banter is all the Cubs deserve until they put another pennant in the books at least.

>i rate starting pitchers based on ERA
>>67333491
eh don't worry. Your shitty guys like Martin at least have a chance to hit a dinger to break the tie
>>67334063
>>That is indeed how it works.
and mat latos has a 1.8
he is absolutely not the 6th or 7th best pitcher in the league
besides even by era felix and sale are also ahead of him I know that, so he would be 5th or 6
Q has been consistently among the top 5 pitchers in the league for 3 years now and he's stepping it up another level this season.
He may not be 2nd yet, at the very least he's top 5 along with Sale, Felix, Kluber, Price
Terrance Gore has 0 hits, 14 stolen bases, and 9 runs scored incl playoffs

>>67334159
Ok, but if you want to compare historically no shit.
But Steven Wright is a damn fucking good pitcher RIGHT NOW and an outing in which he allows 2ER on 3H SHOULD be a game you win when you're Offense is supposedly the best in the American League.
I don't give a shit about the historical difference between Wright and Q.
Both are pitching at a crazy level right now.
Both are great.
We should have been able to take the matchup, but the offense choked. End of story.
>>67334115
>>67334132
funny how one of you fore tells a joke then one of you bashes on predicting the future

>>67334171
No, he has a long way to go before he is Omar-tier. Remember that Assdribble made great defensive plays as a young rookie with the Tribe as well and the same comparisons were made.
>>67335203
Still early. That's the beauty of BASEDBALL.
