I'm so sick and tired of all of you spreading these rumors about Jake Arrieta. are you aware that you can completely ruin this man's career with this bullshit? Why can't you faggots just respect legendary talent when you see it? Why do you all have to scream STEROIDS HURR STEROIDS LOL whenever a guy becomes a success after being disposed of like some rag doll from his former team that didn't want him just the way he was with unique mechanics and all? I would expect people like you to root for me. He made himself the best pitcher in baseball by being healthy and doing pilates. NOT STEROIDS.
>>67353691

Hey texas do ne a favor, fuck off and lose
How much does a manager ejection effect the outcome of a ballgame? Does the chance of winning decrease of he gets tossed? On that note, how well do you think the teams would do if the teams were player managed by say a captain
>>67353827
Shhh. Tiki might hear you.
>>67353779

same thing happend with Ubaldo Jimenez whose ERA jumped a run and a half going from Cleveland to Baltimore

>>67353854
Teams with Player/Managers used to be commonplace. I guess it depends whether or not your team has a good veteran who understands how to manage certain situations.

Stay the hell away from Lindor, Ramirez, and Gomes.
>>67354044
21 in a single game, he'll get to that easily
martin, tulo and goins are 9 free strikeouts to a mediocre pitcher, so thats the baseline
>>67354044

Indian is actually not a derogatory term and is commonly accepted amongst US tribal entities. Obviously it's wrong but given their common history of oppression they tend to think it's useful and can even give a sense of solidarity.
Also, the team has had Indian players in the past (Sockalexis) and in the present (Chamberlain).
That said Wahoo is racist as fuck and needs to be retired.

Right before the final words of the play, all of the cuckolds get together and literally do what is described in the stage directions as a "Dance of Cuckolds."

gotta say, the cubs seem amazing this year, leading the league in runs scored and they also have a cy young ace
dont know enough about the team though, is their bullpen and what not deep?
i feel like depth is the real key to getting a gaudy regular season record, because injuries always happen

On the other hand, the Nationals literally bunted with a reliever in that 16 inning game down by 1 with 2 outs and the tying run on 2nd. If they hadn't been playing the ThroWItdowNthelineS, that's the end of the game. A game ending bunt with the tying run on 2nd

Pitchers have low batting averages because they don't bat every single day. Even position players go 0-4. Pitchers hit just as well as the average position player. In some cases, even better than average. Most catchers are poor hitters, should we DH for them too?
>>67358553
Stop. Pitchers don't train in hitting like everyone else does. NL pitcher stats are always inflated due to getting easy outs vs pitchers

What point are you trying to prove? It's not like when interleague happens NL is forced to play pitchers during a AL home game.
Not everything has to revolve around offense. It just changes how you manage the game and think the worth of a PH versus a AB with a pitcher.
Dear Eternal 4th Placers,
Salutations.
It appears that you loss tonight (in a rather embarrassing 7-0 loss to the worst team in the American League East, oof).
It also appears that the Red Sox won tonight (with Buttholez pitching, somehow).

>>67359562
Yeah, definitely one of the worst signings ever, it was ill-advised when it happened and with hindsight it was a tragedy, but we were still able to make it work somehow, so whatever
>>67359751
I'd rather just have someone from our farm system step up and pitch, but Lincecum would be better than Peavy, so I wouldn't mind if they gave him a short, cheap contract, but the Giants like paying too much money and being too generous with contracts. I say just move on. I don't see Peavy being taken out of the rotation any time soon anyway, but we'll see
>>67359672
they couldn't do enough during his COLLAPSE and maybe, just maybe being 19-8 in early may doesn't mean a lot. Even if he makes 10-15 strong starts he still must fucking go. Trade or release idgaf.
I did not expect this but in like 2 weeks the nl east went from worst to one of the best divisions. the marlins in 4th place in the east has a better record the leader of the nl west

It's going to be fun when you then say it's because of the weather that people don't show up next. A 'Chicago proper' would think 40 degrees is a mild day.
>>67359928
>Chicago
The geographic center of the Cubs fanbase is somewhere in a cornfield west of DeKalb
>>67360116
Wrigley is a tourist trap, #2 tourist destination in the state of Illinois (#1 is Navy fucking Pier, which is about the only thing I can think of that is less of a genuine representation of your average Chicagoan than the crowd at Wrigley).
>>67360127
>Mum tourism
Yes, so if the tourists didn't show up to pack the stadium, no one would go to a Cubs game...
OR, there are more Cubs fans in Chicago then you'd ever want to admit and no one wants to go down to 35th to get shot.
>>67359848
I'd rather have a few thousand diehard "fans" who stuck thier butt out to watch their team through a cold night than tens of thousands of bandwagon "fans" who probably don't even know much about actual Baseball and are just there because it's the "in" thing to do desu
>>67360116
Tourists and yuppies who couldn't give 2 shits about baseball make up most of the Cubs attendance anyways.
Being from Chicago, you should know this. No one would dare go to the South Side to catch a game. Yes, I'd much rather play in a much nicer area, but the point is, just about a year ago, we were the more popular team in Chicago proper, and since it's a 2 team town, the fair weather fans put on Cubby blue.
More true blue working class Chicagoans are White Sox fans anyways. And I think more or less this is the beating heart of our city. Attendance doesn't really mean shit though, and the Sox haven't lost much fans over the past few years despite all the shit we've had to go through
>>67360149
This guy gets it.
And if the White Sox beat the Cubs in the Series, TONS of Cubs "fans" will turn from blue to black.

>Cry about die hard fans.
>Cubs have better attendance than the White Sox almost across the entire board
>B-b-b-but they're tourists and bandwagoners!
When the average is that the Cubs get 15k more people to attend their games than the White Sox. It goes beyond that and the fact that the White Sox don't have fans. I await for most excuses on par with 'White Sox fans are to busy to go to the game' and 'They don't want to get shot going to the Cell'.
>>67360160
I guess that's why the Cubs still beat you in attendance the year after you got that Worlds Series through Chavez Socialist Magic? All those 'Cubs' fans going to the White Sox and you still didn't get better attendance in the end.
>>67360201
>the White Sox don't have fans
There were at least 8000 at the park tonight, you blind?
>>67360178
Would you rather the same 5 Dodgers vs Giants arguments ad infinitum?
This fills our diversity quota. I mean, ITS 2016
>>67360216
Fine then, the White Soxs only have 8000 fans in Chicago Proper, since true fans would show up to the game unless it was sold out.
>A man was killed and another wounded in a drive-by shooting outside a popular restaurant in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood.

Here's the best part:
>His family said he attended a Chicago White Sox game before he was shot.
>>67360200
Uhhh I've been posting on /sp/ since 2012 and not once did I switch teams.
It's easy for Cubs fans because their team has been laughably bad from 2009 to 2014 and all of a sudden THEY are the ones that are coming out in droves like no other because their real hope, the Blackhawks got eliminated from Cup contention. I swear they'd all be hocposting if it weren't for the Blues to sweep them.
Keep trying though.
>>67360228
1. It's not the weekend
2. It's fucking cold outside
Do the math.
>>67360228
Well if you're gonna put it this way, at this game I went to back in 2015 when they finished 10 games below .500, there were at least 34,000 in the park.
So now what does that mean to you?
>>67360236
>Not supporting all your first rate teams in the city you live in.

>>67360248
>All those empty seats still
>And it was probably one of your 1$ ticket special games to keep attendance high enough to still get tax breaks from the city

>>67360248
>Can't even sell out on a comfy afternoon game.
>>67360291
Did you read "It's not the weekend?"
Do you expect White Sox fans from outside the South Side and surrounding areas to bother dealing with Dan Ryan traffic and making a trek to 35th?
The weekend should have packed houses all game.
>>67360317
So clearly it means those aren't true, blue collar Chicago workers since they'd be at their job still. Ergo, they're not true fans, or just tourists who couldn't get into Wrigley and the it was a good deal because the White Sox were giving away tickets for almost nothing.
Why don't you think the burden of proof you set on the Cubs doesn't apply to the Soxs?
>cubsfan will never not being able to attendance shame soxfans
This same old song and dance is too tiring.
>>67360337
Well when Soxfags keep saying they're Chicago's team, it's only natural to post solid proof that contradicts that.
Why do people talk shit about teams with low attendance? I only do it if somebody talks shit about my team and have nothing else I can use against their team. Half full stadiums are the comfiest places to watch a game by far and attendance often doesn't have much to do with whether a team is successful or not
>Chicago fans keep arguing about which team has the better fans
Will this ride ever end, /sp/?
>>67360317
dan-ryan and the access ramps/crossroads are the main reason i dont drive to the games, i take the south shore line up to mccormick and try to get a cab
>>67360364
This. Seems pointless too, what are you going to do, make the other guy say,
>OH YEAH YOURE RIGHT MY TEAM DOES HAVE NO FANS, BETTER STOP ROOTING FOR THEM!
It's just dumb and pointless.
>>67360366
Until they both start sucking, fuck no.
>>67360364
Well we could, talk about how the Sox offensive is garbage and they only have 2 decent pitchers and a shit bullpen. While the Cubs are dominating almost every offensive stat in the league and have 1 GOAT pitcher, 2 dominate pitchers and 2 decent pitchers with a decent bullpen.
But then it would devolve into
>Pilates
>>67360364
The Rays have been good for so long, yet their attendance has been and always will be shit.
Just 2 years ago Wrigley was struggling to sell out. In addition to the tourists and yuppies at Wrigley, "fans" all of a sudden came out of the woods like flies. All you have to do in Chicago is make a team good, and all of a sudden "lifelong fans" will come out.
Fuck, even a year ago the White Sox FB page had more likes than the Cubs, all it takes is splashy success to elevate your team high enough. The White Sox haven't changed one bit, nor have lost fans the entire way. Yes, our success is bringing more of those "fan" types, but the blue bloods on the South Side clearly have been more committed to baseball. I've been to games at both parks, it's MUCH less of a social event at the Cell. You Cubs fans won't go there because of the niggers outside the park right?
I know I'm not that much of a cuck to travel all the way from South Bend to get there.
>>67360380
how many PALCO injections, i meant workouts of Pilates will he get in before his next start?
>>67360380
Well actually it'd more turn into despite those differences they're both still leading their respective leagues and playing hard competitive baseball.
There is the difference though that the Cubs achieve that by being stacked while the Sox are most likely overacheiving.
>>67358280
That Laroche kid
>>67360389
Oh yes, why don't we look at the year that the Cubs lost over a 100 games in 2012 while the White Sox finished 12 games over .500. 35,590 verses 24,271.
HMMMMMMM Must be all those dang fangled band wagoners for the cubs.
>>67360403
So the Cubs would crush everyone if they overachieved with their stacked team? Nice.
>>67360369
I also take the SS to games I don't feel like driving, I'm in South Bend.
I get off 11th and then take the Red Line from there. It's a pain in the ass. I drive to games more, I can handle DR traffic if I could
>>67360416
2012 is unfair since there was a huge collapse and it came after the abysmal 2011 season
>>67360389
I fucking hate US Cellular, I hate the drive, I hate the parking, and I really fucking hate that I can't conceal and carry in Illinois, but I still make it there for at least a couple games from Bloomington. Man the fuck up and support the Sox.
>though traveling from IN to Cell you may want my level of firepower
>>67360416
>2012 while the White Sox finished 12 games over .500
Boy this is some bad bait.
>>67360414
Collapse would imply the White Soxs were doing extremely well before they choked. and their attendance was STILL 11k lower than the Cubs who had the worst season since 1962
>>67360441
Look up their record and cry.

Hello baseball fans! I am a high ranking executive with Fox, and we're doing fan outreach this year to set our broadcast lineup for this year's playoffs. We don't feel like we've been trying hard enough to ruin the playoff experience in recent years, even after adding Harold Reynolds to the team last year. I want you to tell me what the WORST 3 man broadcast team you can possibly come up with is. Keep in mind we are hiring Skip Bayless in August. If we choose your lineup, you could win a no expense paid trip to Donald Trump's inauguration.
>>67360380
I'd put Sox bullpen as decent
Great:
Robertson
Jones
Albers
Good:
Petricka
Mediocre:
Putnam
Duke
Jennings
Mix of mediocre and great puts them at decent. Not great but certainly not bad.
Offense isn't quite trash but it is really inconsistent which I guess does kind of make it trash at this level of play and expected competition.
>>67360432
What do you expect with a city that's been screwed over by backasswards politicians who run it? Chicago (and Illinois in general) has been digging it's grave since the late 70s, go figure.
Damn, Bloomington? Cubs and Reds fans everywhere there. Fort Wayne has plenty of Sox fans that I know of but mainly Cubs/Tigers. Indy is definitely more Cubs than Sox, Evansville is Cards country, but nice to see some Southern Indiana suport. Thought all the Sox fans in Indiana were only in the North for the most part.

How do we fix the White Sox offense?
Even adding Todd Frazier and Brett Lawrie doesn't help the offense from staying in the bottom 10 just like it did last year when even worse players were in this lineup.
>>67360564
>How do we fix the White Sox offense?

HUR HUR HUR illionois doesnt reciprocate IN carry permits. also as you said, i usually get there early and get in gated parking, but there have been times ive been delayed and had to park 3 blocks away and had my park broken in to. luckily, i wasnt into guns when that happened. so what you said is an actual concern of keeping a firearm in your vehicle.
>sadly i dont have my sox hat in this pic, but i ideal situation is to take my ar15 with a plate carrier and my 1911 as my sidearm to any sox game. obviously at least 6 full 30rd mags for the AR, 4 mags for the 1911 until the cops show up to assist you. then when that happens the nigger president declares a white person using a gun to defend himself vs armed blacks is a hate crime and i have to spend six figs on lawyers like george zimmerman
>>67360597
>Then the 5000 fans who show up shoot each other while arguing over who the true Sox fans are.
>>67360594
95
17th in the league
So I guess that's slight middling but I would have expected higher after all the supposed offensive upgrades this team has gotten now.
Pro tip to all struggling pitchers-- green tea. The Cubs got a hold of a struggling pitcher, put him on a green tea regimen, and now the man's pitching 8 MPH faster than ever before! WOW!
>>67360588
What the FUCK?
>>67360610
>Not getting an original CZ 75
I see you have shit taste in pistols too.
>Carrying your gun in a light blue plastic case.
Are you sure those things you have don't just shoot plastic balls?
>>67360588
My mind can't even begin to comprehend how dumb this is.
>>67360627
You have the link to all 30 teams wRC+?
This more or less is how I judge offenses by.
>>67360564
getting a DH that can actually hit at a major league level would be a nice start
CF, SS, and C are issues, if they were at least good fielders it might not feel as bad since those are important positions, but they suck at fielding too. I guess Jackson is alright at fielding, plus he moved Eaton to RF where he has become god. he's gotten a bit unlucky at the plate also, but he definitely needs to step that up some. Rollins is just shit desu, so are Navarro and Avila
desu the lineup looks almost decent on paper other than the absolute black hole that is the DH, who's sole fucking job is to hit. And Robin being a retard with the lineup also, stop putting Rollins 2nd for fucks sake
an Eaton, Lawrie, Abreu, Frazier, [Cargo], Melky, Rollins, Navarro, Jackson lineup looks average to me
>>67360632
>not putting flaxseed oil in your green tea
It's like you don't even want to be good bro
>>67360641
nice euro trash sidearm
i prefer the back-to-back world war sidearm champion, the 1911
it's a fantastic case and the package came with cleaning supplies, a holster and mag holsters, though I am opting for ones of my personal choice. The case has Springfield's awesome logo on it.
lets get back to baseball talk, i got a ban 2 weeks ago for talking too much about what's the best sausage to grill for a ballgame. I have a feeling "the best sidearm to protect yourself from niggers" is a topic that will also trigger the nu-male nba/soccer fan /sp/ mod

He essentially was. If you can add 1+1 and you aren't in a coma then you're aware of the fact that he was on steroids. There may even be BALCO records showing his cycle written in code (with steroids abbreviated or color coded) but I don't remember the specifics. He was never 100 percent proven legally because Victor Conte and Greg Anderson wouldn't testify against him and we don't have a picture of him with a needle in his ass
>>67360685
>Braves have 59 wRC+
Holy shit I'm dying.

velocity has stayed consistent, maybe your fuccboi pitchers need to do more pilates.
Good night, haters :3
>>67360710
Literally one delta guy used your shitty czech shit and mentioned it in one book, but the overwhelming number of SEALS and MARSOC use 1911s, and a lot of SFODD guys also use 1911s. Sorry, but I'm taking the US Special Forces weapon choice over the Czech Rep lol....
saying once more, lets get back to baseball or take this to /k/ where im sure they'll shit on both of us somehow.
>>67360748
good night soler
>>67360701
no
there's that cuban babby gurriel guy though, he's supposed to be abreu-like right? but literally no news on what's happening with him
what do you guys think about Hunter Pence
>>67360767
>Americans use American made pistols
Who'd have thought? Also, they probably only used the later versions which aren't as well crafted since they cut corners for mass production. Hence why I said an original.
As for baseball we can talk about how badly Arrieta is going to blow the fuck out of the White Sox lineup or how many HR's Sales is going to cough up before he gets pulled in 3rd inning during the crosstown cup.
I'm thinking 3, maybe 4 if the wind is heading out..
>>67360796
too late
>>67359985
I already CALLED taking 3 of 4 from YOU
Arrieta's Pilates injections will be discovered in June. and the cusb failure cascade will begin.
>>67360796
>how badly Arrieta is going to blow
Depends on if he stays with his pilates program.
>>67360789
He's my rightfieldfu
Solid player. Looks like every pitch he swings at is about to travel 450 feet
Just your typical starting Giants position player as of late. Productive numbers that aren't too flashy but are still very good
>>67360815
>Thinking you'll win 1 game, let alone 3.
That naivety is cute. It must be why you play with airshit and think they're real guns.
>>67360796
Sale will toss an easy 3 hit shutout
and the sox will put up at least 4 runs on that pilates shitter
>>67360839
I'm nobody involved in your conversation but you're unironically upset and you need to take a nap. Also your pitcher uses steroids.
>>67360848
>Sale will toss an easy 3 hit shutout
Then your bullpen will shit the bed after Sales is pulled in the 7th and he gets the loss anyway.
>and the sox will put up at least 4 runs on that pilates shitter
Meanwhile in reality, the Master of Pilates will get 7k, 3 walks and 1 hit in a complete game shutout.
>>67360839
the sox absolutely sucked cock last year and split the series, this year the sox are actually good. all you can hope for is another split where the sox are looking to take the cup with force.
by the time the cross town happens:
>cubs numbers will come back to earth
>arrieta will be off pilates
>sox will have picked up a mercenary bat, and possibly a solid guy to replace danks
>>67360883
>the sox are actually good
Stop this.
>>67360883
Suxfans conveniently forget that the Cubs were inconsistent as hell even going into the Summer and it was only in August and September did they really start rolling.
At best the Cubs will sweep, at worst the Cubs lose 1.
>Cubs will find a way to stay consistent with their offense
>Arriete will have 21 straight wins by the time he mows down the Sux
>Ventura will fuck up like he usually does as he mismanages the team yet again.
>>67360632
>the man's pitching 8 MPH faster than ever before
that's untrue, Arrieta has never had crazy velocity, its been the same since he was with Baltimore and you can look it up to see that i'm right
he got good when he learned how to control his his pitches and especially his slider which he throws a lot
he also mixes in a changeup and has realized he can pitch to contact and be successful
his ERA at texas christian was about 6.00 i think, he's always had good stuff though, just wild
steroids don't help you lock down a consistent delivery or build mental strength
>>67360948
The velocity thing is just a bait meme to trigger people
he is really on steroids though
shhhh...east coast is asleep....
very quietly, post least coast players who are on steroids

>>67361094
Doubt it, they probably have to win the position.
>>67360912
Were the Ottomans this delusional?
Arietta will be caught before he even faces White Sox bats.
>>67361022
Well no shit this a plants & Pilates kind of guy
>>67360885
Their starting pitching and bullpen are better than what the Cubs currently have, with or without Arietta.

Believe it or not the Cubs aren't Chicago's only team. Once we 4-0 you, your Cubby tears will be delicious.
Is there any more bluepilled fanbase than what the Chicago Cubs currently have?
Only seven players in major league history have bested each of Edgar Martinez's career .312/.418/.515 slash line. It is a roll call of MLB legends: Ted Williams, Lou Gehrig. Rogers Hornsby, Babe Ruth, Shoeless Joe Jackson, and Dan Brouthers. In fact, David Ortiz matched each leg of Edgar's career slash line just ONCE in a season (2007)
Only 13 players have a better career OBP than Martinez, one is Barry Bonds, and the rest are hall of famers
During a 3 yer stretch from 1995-1997 Griffey compiled a stout .385 OBP, Martinez topped it in the same time span with .386... With 2 strikes against him.
Martinez had 2 seasons (95-96) with at least 25 HR 50 doubles and 110 walks, the same number of seasons that every other player in MLB history had combined.
Martinez reached base 2,369 times in his thirties for a .4360 OBP, Ty Cobb in his thirties reached base 2341 times for a .4357 OBP.
Out of 309 HR and 1,261 RBIs in his career, 264 HR and 1,057 RBIs came after the age of 30
There are 12 (Twelve) players in baseball history with at least 830 career extra base hits and an OBP of .415 or better. 10 of them are in the hall of fame. The other 2? Edgar Martinez and Barry Bonds.
Tony Gwynn's (First ballot HoF) career WAR: 68.8 Edgar Martinez career WAR: 68.3
from June 23, 1995 to June 20 1996 Edgar Martinez compiled 73 doubles in a 162 game span (and two triples!)
In terms of career WAR, 162 gams played by Edgar Martinez is worth 241 games played by David Ortiz.

Regardless of your ridiculous 8gag memes, the Cubs fanbase is certainly in full support of their players using steroids.

"If the phone rings, I'll be certainly interested," Danks said. "If it doesn't for whatever reason, it has been a hell of a run. I can say I got to play nine seasons in the big leagues, especially with one team in a bad-ass city like Chicago. I don't have any regrets. I worked as hard as I know how to and did my very best every time out, and that's really all I could promise."
It's official now, he's already packed his bags, gave his statements, and left.
RIP Johnny Danks
Press F to pay respects.

>This I know to be true!
>Mets tied for first in the majors in HR's
>>67364326
I must say I admire his professionalism in a situation that cannot be easy for a guy who is only 31. I wouldn't be all that surprised if he ends up somewhere else down the road. I didn't watch a whole lot of him, but I definitely have respect for someone like that.
>>67364326
What a class act. Think he'll ever be back in the bigs?
>>67364395
>>67364394
He could go join the Braves like several other exSox have before him.
Pitching in the NL might even help him.
Daily reminder that the Tigres de Quintana Roo of the Mexican League are the Mexican counterpart of the San Francisco Giants. The Mexico Tigers have won the Mexican League Championship in every odd year starting in 2011.
>>67364424
>go to worst team in baseball
Yeah going their + being in the babby league will make it seem like he actually still deserves to be a starting pitcher in the majors

Well it is working wonders for gordo and flowers in that regard
>>67363640

Why are whos fans so obsessed with the cubs? You would figure they would be happy that their team is good, but instead they are more worried about a team from the NL.
Maybe if you did pilates, you would be more relaxed.
