saw some negative comments about Cobb last thread and then saw this article. Read this book last year, it's pretty good. It goes through his life and addresses all the misconceptions that everyone has about him today. I recommend it!

Alreet bruvs just got back from work and had my tea, red sox game is on LIVE in an hour. Anything I need to know for my first live game? It's not advert city is it?
Okay boys, let's see em
>>67675619
Only about 2 minutes of ads between each half inning and a shorter break for pitching changes
>>67675632
Swap arod with Ortiz or Cruz and this is objectively the correct answer in May.
>>67675652
So no breaks during a half inning? I can live with that.
Anyone else watching the red sox game? What chance do they stand against superman's team?
>>67675685
There are zero breaks during a half-inning unless they change a pitcher out, no matter how long it takes.
And Royals v Red Sox will be a good game.
Royals are defending champs and Red Sox are on a hot streak.
>>67675685
Pretty good since the Red Sox are the best in the AL this year and the royals are a shell of their former selves
>>67675581
Anti-bat flip, anti-emotion, etc. is the most facebook-tier opinion in baseball. I could go on an ESPN comment section right now and find hundreds of casuals talking about "back in muh day players had respect." If anyone is a "normie" here, it's you.

>It is May 18, and Ortiz is hitting .311/.395/.674 with 10 home runs and 33 RBIs. His 1.069 OPS leads baseball. He’s slugging at a higher clip than Bryce Harper and Mike Trout, getting on base more than Manny Machado and Nolan Arenado, walking off games as though it’s October 2004 all over again. Guys doing that don’t euthanize their own careers.
This guy is seriously fucking retiring.

I'm actually curious, does the local media in any other two-team market actively try to sabotage the one they like less? They were doing the same thing last season with the Harvey/Boras fiasco.
>>67676447
>pitchers hit better than your team's captain

>>67676372
Of course he's not, it's a negotiating tactic that's going to wind up with Sox fans begging Scott Boras to dump his load into their collective assholes.

>>67679710
Having a competent manager and a not-Ruben Amaro GM probably has a lot to do with that. Even ignoring the fact that they don't have any completely useless players getting regular playing time. (Bourjos can at least field, which is more than you could say about dum brown)

But, nobody was called up prematurely. Velasquez won a pitching battle with Morgan for the 5th spot. Morton got hurt forcing Morgan or Sev to be called up. Hunter was hitting .088 prompting more playing time for Goedell. And the combination of Ruf hitting .165~ and Joseph hitting .350~ prompted a call up and send down. Crawford, Knapp, Quinn, Kingery, Alfaro, Eflin, Appel, Thompson, Eshelman, Kilome, Pivetta, Ascher, Lively, and everyone else of note is,still where they should be.

They should have waited a year to groom their rookie starters so they don't have to worry about these guys' contracts when the prospects they got from the Hamels trade start coming up.

>>67681017
All but two of our roster spots are not filled by Rookies. One was called up less than a week ago, and one was a rule 5. It's not like they've played wtll through near two months, so Williams, Appel, Quinn, Crawford, Knapp, etc got called up early and played. And even farther against his point, we have guys like Burriss on the roster, when Sweeney could fill that spot better, yet we keep in in AAA so he can get regular playing time

As of 2010, 45% of Texas residents had Hispanic ancestry; these include recent immigrants from Mexico, Central America, and South America, as well as Tejanos, whose ancestors have lived in Texas as early as the 1700s. Tejanos are the largest ancestry group in southern Duval County and amongst the largest in and around Bexar County, including San Antonio, where over one million Hispanics live. The state has the second largest Hispanic population in the United States, behind California.
Hispanics dominate southern, south-central, and western Texas and form a significant portion of the residents in the cities of Dallas, Houston, and Austin. The Hispanic population contributes to Texas having a younger population than the American average, because Hispanic births have outnumbered non-Hispanic white births since the early 1990s. In 2007, for the first time since the early nineteenth century, Hispanics accounted for more than half of all births (50.2%), while non-Hispanic whites accounted for just 34%.
In 2016 the state had 59,115 persons of Cuban origin. 6,157 of them lived in Travis County.[7]

What are the unwritten rules of baseball? I know one is not to bunt for a base hit when a pitcher is throwing a no-hitter/perfect game, but that's the only one I know of.

>>67685639
Don't steal bases when you are leading by 6+
Don't bat flip
Don't walk around the bases when you hit a home run
>>67685639
heh I didn't know that, now I'm thinking of all the no-hitters spoiled by cheeky drag bunts and all the furious buttfrustration of the pitchers
>>67685673

>>67685639
>Bunting during a no-hitter
I have ZERO problem with this if the game is winnable. If you're up 7-0, sure, it's rude. But a 2-0 game, bunt the fuck away

The most impotant unwritten rule is bunting against the shift. You always swing with full power and pull the ball when the shift is applied. to be a filthy cheater and hit a weak grounder to where nobody is? That's a heater to the face
Nobody answered by question yesterday. I know it's usually on the pitcher when he's got a high pitch count early. But what about when his pitches just get constantly fouled off? Is that his command, or hitters luck?
30 With a right-hander on the mound, don't walk a right-handed hitter to pitch to a left-handed hitter.
29 Never mention a no-hitter while it's in progress.
28 A manager should remain detached from his players.
27 Hit the ball where it's pitched.
26 If one of your players gets knocked down by a pitch, retaliate.
25 Hit behind the runner at first.
24 Don't use your stopper in a tie game - only when you're ahead.
23 Only use your bullpen stopper in late-inning situations.
22 Don't take the bat out of your best hitter's hands by sacrificing in front of him.
21 Don't bunt with a power hitter up.
20 If you play for one run, that's all you'll get.
>>67685745
Here's that (you) you wanted
19 In rundown situations, always run the runner back toward the base from which he came.
18 With runners in scoring position and first base open, walk the number eight hitter to get to the pitcher.
17 Never give an intentional walk if first base is occupied.
16 Leadoff hitter must be a base stealer. Designated hitter must be a power hitter.
15 Take a strike when your club is behind in a ballgame.
14 Don't go against the percentages.
13 Never let the score influence the way you manage.
12 Never give up a home run on an 0-2 count.
11 Left and right fielders concede everything to center fielder.
10 Never throw behind the runner.
>Unwritten rules
what a load of garbage. Oh no, you're going to give me a free base because I hurt your feelings? I'm soooo mad~
why is this general sp obsessed with the rangers? they arent even a team worthy enough of as much of attention as you autists give them i dont understand why this place comstantly talks about them. it cant be the fans since there is only one or two of them here and there is no way a whole general can get their panties in such a wad over a few fans
>>67685827
>18 With runners in scoring position and first base open, walk the number eight hitter to get to the pitcher.
babby league
9 Don't bunt for a hit when you need a sacrifice.
8 Don't steal third with two outs.
7 Don't steal when you're well ahead.
6 Never steal when you're two or more runs down.
5 Never make the first or third out at third.
4 Don't play the infield in early in the game.
3 Don't hit and run with an 0-2 count.
2 Play for the tie at home, go for the victory on the road.
1 Never put the tying or go-ahead run on base.
Is there a more likable guy in the league than Chris Archer?
>>67685827
>Leadoff hitter must be a base stealer
factually untrue. Your leadoff hitter is supposed to be patient at the plate. Speed is recommended, but not required. His primary focus(aside from reaching base) is to see pitches so he and his teammates can gauge his arm

>>67686748

Are you fucking idiots? The argument the Eternal 4th Placer made was that he was confirmed for Roids when he fucking wasn't. He tested positive for PEDs but was never told ANYTHING outside of him being tested positve.
And that all stemmed from a 2003 report that was supposed complete confidentiality to all participants and included 100+ people who tested positive, but coincidentally only few such as Ortiz were "leaked"
>>67686775
>M-M-MUH SEMANTICS
Steroids. Deal with it.
>>67686793
I think he took them. I also think Davis' fucking biceps are bigger than his head because he takes them too.
Don't call me naive when you believe he's clean either.
>>67686775
>this fucking damage control
>>67686802
One player has tested positive. The other hasn't.
Simple.
>>67686816
Then why do you go into full damage control if I mention that he takes steroids? Perhaps you actually think so too?
>>67686814
I've already said I think he took roids you dumbass cuckees poster, I'm making clear why that eternal 4th placer was just as dumb on behalf of Davis, but you're too retarded to read posts.
>>67686826
>damage control is the same as pointing out irony/hypocrisy

I think the Phillies should've really taken the Nationals approach to sucking, and be terrible until a once in a generation prospect came along. It's really foolproof in baseball
Does anyone have that webm of Ortiz with the family guy skit?
>>67686844
>point out that he was never confirmed for steroids, only that he "tested positive" and was never told anything beyond that
>point out how that ambiguity is the reason you can look at both Ortiz and Davis, see their numbers and production, see the similarity in power and say they're both roiding
>>67686843
Why are you so booty-blasted?
Is it because your "best" player is a cheater who acts like a baby when he realizes he may have to play first base and can't just be a DH all the time?
>>67686856
i never said he didnt take roids though i dont get why you guys are thinking this is damage control
Jake Arrieta, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Sammy Sosa, and Mark McGwire all did Pilates
>>67686864
>see their numbers and production
Except that has nothing to do with the argument that Ortiz is roiding.
It's the fact that he tested positive for some mystical substance that sure seems a lot like steroids, especially when there's no evidence to the contrary.
Maybe if Davis was in the same situation (testing positive for an unknown, unproven substance), you'd have an argument.
>>67686901
Davis tested positive for "adderall" he also failed a fucking test
>>676854764 next week they play detroit,cubs ont he road ,and nats at home def will see whats up after that

Yes, in that case they actually proved what he was taking, and it was dumb of him not to get a TUE.

>>67687556

>>67687589
>How come his numbers with the Rangers are dog shit? Then he goes to Baltimore and his power production increases?
Did you not notice the part where I pointed out that his home run percentage stayed basically the same other than those years where he barely played?
>>67687600
>the sporadic inexplainable jumps
139 games, 33 homers to 160 games, 53 homers
127 games, 26 homers to 160 games, 47 homers

I work for the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. Ask me anything.
>>67687657
Yes, 20 HRs in the span of about 20 games is a sporadic jump.
>>67687657

>>67687678

>>67687615
>his homerun percentages stayed basically the same
except that it didnt
>>67687713
No. So Jake Arrieta is clean.
>>67687681
Players have better years. I know this is hard to understand.
By the way, in 2013 (when he hit 53), he also really improved his batting eye and the amount of walks he drew, leading to better pitches to hit, leading to more homers. He jumped from a 6.6 BB% in 2012 to 10.7% in 2013 and he has improved his walk rate every year since.
>>67687746
And that means Barry "Pilates" Bonds is also clean!
>>67687758
Coincidentally, he also got busted for PEDs the next year
>>67677315
reds cuck here, i knew this year was gonna be bad, but not this bad

Man, Arenado's glove is so filthy. He might be the best defensive 3rd baseman of all time.

cool response bro :^)
Fun Fact: Bartolo Colon has a higher SLG than the Mets firstbasemen.

lol
>steinbrenner says he's frustrated but that he is fully confident in girardi and cashman
He's delusional
>teixeira saying yanks are a good team being bad, not yet just a bad team
>girardi still thinks yanks can make the playoffs
These delusional fools
The Yankees won't make it to the playoffs again until all these contracts are over

Colon also has a higher mass than the rest of the mets combined

They're both good too, but the plays Arenado makes every single night are unmatched. I'm not even a Rockies fan, but I love watching him in the field.

He is pretty based I wouldn't ever argue that
>>67687909
Maybe if Teixeira would start hitting against the shift then they might suck a bit less

This was his approach last season, doesn't look like he can even do that this season
>>67687909
It isn't Giradri's fault they are old and shitty
He still made them be over .500
