>>67341944
Real fans do. You should be supporting the players that are going out there and giving it there all knowing they are going to lose.
The effort the players give on losing teams is the baseball equivalent to calling an air strike on yourself in the millitary. All out effort knowing you're gonna die.
>>67341974
Lol no its not. Its clear youve never been there. Its legitmately the friendliest place in the country. Go outside Dodger stadium if you want douche central
Reminder chicongo fans don't go to games because they'd get shot.
Look at this map of the uncivilized ape jungle that is the south side shitcongo where the aptly named "Cell" is marked by the black star on the map.
Meanwhile if you look up north side of civilized Chicago in Lakeview, there's only one shooting there.
>>67341994
>You should be supporting the players that are going out there and giving it there all
by giving the money to owners who are content with putting a less than average product on the field for a sustained period of time? If the owners don't care about the team winning a championship, why should I give them money they won't use to that end? I can still support this team without paying too much for a seat and food.

Oh man
>>67342031
No you cant. Even if some is going to the owners, a lot is still going to the players. You should be trying to support your players. You are not a real fan if you do not do this.
>>67342015
Maybe during baseball games but clark st. is legitimately the worst place for bars in chicago. Big 10 meatheads everywhere
I guess its cool if you're into places like john barleycorn though
>>67342022
The Cell is well north of your black star.
>>67342022
Fuck I take back all I said about whos attendance. That's even worst than Tropicana.

Feels good being a real nigga
>>67342022
Where are the Cubs?
>>67342060
Not really. Its mostly families and true fans. The bars there are some of the best in the country. Cops are there to control traffic dumbshit. There at every sporting event.
Does anyone have the link to the video that is highlights of the last day of the season (2011 I think but don't remember) where every game happening had playoff implications.
>>67342041
You'd be wrong.
Only the ones to the south are.
The other heavy areas like to the west are all spics.
>>67342062
Not at all. The bars i go to on clark street have some of the most knowledgeable fans have ever talked too.
>>67342106

Holy shit, maybe if youre a sheltered suburban frat boy meathead they are.
Grow up you fucking pussy.

Yeah that was me shooting my load into your mother

Im not talking about during games. Im talking about the neighborhood in general. It is literally asshole central
Maybe you're one of the assholes too so you are ignorant of the inherent assholeness of wrigleyville

I've gone to maybe 150 white sox games over the past 15 years or so. I have also traversed Bridgeport on foot extensively as i have friends who live there.
I have never, ever heard or seen a shooting. I have never even felt uncomfortable with any person in the area. In fact, almost all the niggers i see are scalping tickets (which you see by any stadium) or sitting on their porch doing nothing.
The only people who think bridgeport is dangerous are sheltered suburban Cubs faggots and people who have never been to chicago.
>>67342393
Depends, most kids get into sports based on what their parents and friends like.

Season 2 of Taisho Yakyuu Musume when?
>>67342393

I'm a white guy who lives in Bridgeport and walk to and from the Cell whenever I go to a game.
Neath South isn't the South Side.
>>67342468
Then why are the Sox billed as south side?
>>67342393
it's the third biggest sport in the USA but I think less of the fans are younger. So basically, yes

Because they technically are.
When people talk about the South Side in Chicago they connote Englewood.
I live literally South of the city, but I don't say I'm from the South Side due to the levity of the statement
>>67342503
The "map" was edited by a shitposting retard who placed the stadium well south of its actual location.
But go on believing that over actual experience. Whatever helps you through the day, faggot.
>>67342419
So, you said it different by region?
>>67342495

The neighborbood that US cellular is in (which is bridgeport, the star was marked incorrectly) is a <5 homicide neighborhood, same as lakeview. I dont know the source of that map but fucking read into it a little man
>>67342544
It kind of changes, maybe it's really popular for some years, then not for some, then comes back up, depends on who the big stars are at the time that make kids want to play.

Howd you get 4? Were they just giving them away?

Yeah I didn't realize the testing was so advanced it could trace metabolites.

it's effective but it's still hard to judge how effective. Baseball in the US gets much more local TV network viewers than national TV viewers, unlike other sports. It makes more money than basketball but that's because there are 162 games. Younger people mostly pay attention to whatever ESPN feeds them, which is mostly football and basketball. Basketball has the biggest stars that are the most marketable, because it requires the least amount of people to play, so the best players make the biggest impact on winning games.
In any case the future of any of the major sports in America is strong, including baseball.
>tfw White Cox will fuck up possible cubs-sox ws by collapsing mid season

It's an Even Year
>>67341813
And you're a retard for thinking the Cubs aren't trying to win still.
Look at what the new owner is doing. Of course it's just one part of his plan to buy out all of wrigelyvile, but at least he's putting a lot of resources into making the Cubs contenders.

The White Sox seem to have an interesting split fanbase this season

And new guys spreading memes and talking about going to the world series with reckless abandon

shitty stadium in a really really shitty area. it's even worse if you're coming from Indiana because you have to deal with the mexicans in east chicago before you even begin dodging the niggers in south chicago
want to bring your gun to defend yourself? not so fast indiana citizen with a lawful carry permit! Illinois is a faggot liberal state that doesnt reciprocate indiana permits and that bans everyone but criminals from having a gun. not like it matters, i'd have to leave my sexy springfield 1911a1 in my car anyway to get in the park and if i somehow got delayed to the game and cant parked in the gated area, some crackhead breaks into my nice car and steals my 700$ pistol.

I should say, the Phillies have seemingly always had this weird organizational philosophy that when you hit on a pick, you repeat that pick over and over and over and over and over. Like when they drafted a Toosly Jimmy Rollins, they drafted pretty much nothing but Toolsy players for the next 20 years it seems. Now that Nola hit, there's word that they're going to draft AJ Puk instead, because he's college seasoned

He's coming off TJS. I wouldn't get too excited too quickly. He needs time to ease his arm into pitching every 5 days. Expecting him to be back to where he was before he left is pretty stupid m8.

Faggot
>>67346158
He clocked in at 97 on the radar in his last rehab start and has been striking out and getting good movement and velocity on his slider and cutter. They are projecting after all start week at the latest
Are players ever "due for a hit" ?
>>67346394
Do they have a history of hitting? In recent ABs have they hit the ball hard, only for it to result in an out each time?
I say "yes" but only if the answers to both of these questions are "yes".
>>67346394
You flip a coin 10 times and it ends up as tails every time, them you start betting heads next flip as a good bet right?
>>67345470

>>67346394
No. Their previous at bats are completely independent of their current one.
>>67346650
Never go to Vegas m8
>>67346394
depends on if they are getting BABIPED or doing something out of ordinary like staring down straight fastballs dead center of the strikezone

That's how you lose all your money in roulette
>>67346394
'yes,' if they are currently hot, and haven't gotten a hit all game, but it's a soft 'yes'
it's a yes as much as you believe all players are streaky or slumpy
>>67346889
why are you looking at maximums
>>67347000
To show you that he didn't "add" anything. Averages tell the same story anyways if you ignore the May 2016 data, for which there's only one game.
>>67346394
No that's a meme. A player could be hitting .300+ because a few series against meme starters and shitty bullpens. Stats are only relevant at the end of a season to see how good a player did in my opinion

Why does KC suck so much this year?
>>67348470
Royals always suck
>>67346394
If a player bats a certain percentage and they're currently batting under that percentage then mathematically they either a) will get a hit soon; or, b) tank their career average. Since the latter is generally linked to injury or significant, recent mechanical flaw, the expression "due for a hit" is valid but, obviously, not necessary. Theoretically someone batting a career average of 1.00 today could suddenly never hit again their entire life.
>>67348470
they were overpreforming last season and got a ridiculous amount of luck, they just regressed and are now on the losing end of errors and meme magic
>>67342959
It's too late, they never actually test/punish stars. Arrieta has to forget to supplement a few times, tank on his own, and leave the spotlight before MLB acts on it.

they should just rename /asp/ to /wwe/ at this point
A month into the season and it's already clear that this offseason is going to be some lord of the flies shit. Everyone's going to want another starter and the only real free agent of note is strasbust. The 2nd best free agent is probably that fucking trashcan Cashner or that shiteater Latos The only team with young near-ready pitching to deal is the barves.

I actually use /asp/ for other sports like BMX and Longboard shit. Sometimes airshit. They do need a containment board though.
>>67353412
Wouldn't that mean we would have to accept skateboarding/Xgames, racquetball, handball, etc?
New thread?
>>67353224
Hopefully it'll be Arrieta or Lackey so that he gets the shit kicked out of him.
>>67353488
Arrieta seems like a duck and cover type.
>>67353505
Considering how confrontational Arrieta can be, I wouldn't be surprised if he threw a counter punch
>>67353430
I hear John Danks is available
>Arrieta batting .267/.353/.467 with a 120 wRC+
maybe it is roids
>>67353505
Nah Arrieta would fucking drop any faggot that ran up to him with his power of pilates.
>>67353533
NO! It's pilates
>>67353535
>hits batter
>batter charges
>Begin stretching techniques
>>67353430
The whole SP market will be very high priced because of that reason. Even a mid-tier quality starter will command way more than they are worth.
>>67353533
You fucking stupid motherfucker. Don't ever insinuate that Jake Arrieta takes steroids. He is a clean man and I only do pilates.
New thread! New Thread!

Jake pls. Pilates rages are no such to thing to joke around with
>>67353585
What? I'm not Jake Arrieta. He is a handsome, elite, and healthy gentleman though so thanks for confusing me with him.
>>67353382
>>67353348
Not only that, how do they have enough people willingly paying hundreds of dollars to watch oiled up men in panties touch each other to shitpost about it and fill up multiple threads at the same time
>Kershaw is now pitching Saturday against the jays
>I get to witness Kershaw throw a perfect game live at the rogers center
Fuck
