When the umpire calls you out,
It's no use to stamp and shout,
Wildly kicking dust about—
Play the game!
And though his decision may
End your chances for the day,
Rallies often end that way—
Play the game!
When the umpire shouts: 'Strike two!'
And the ball seems wide to you,
There is just one thing to do:
Play the game!
Keep your temper at the plate,
Grit your teeth and calmly wait,
For the next one may be straight
Play the game!
When you think the umpire's wrong,
Tell him so, but jog along;
Nothing's gained by language strong—
Play the game!
For his will must be obeyed
Wheresoever baseball's played,
Take his verdict as it's made—
Play the game!
Son of mine, beyond a doubt,
Fate shall often call you 'out,'
But keep on, with courage stout—
Play the game!
In the battlefield of men
There'll come trying moments when
You shall lose the verdict—then
Play the game!
There's an umpire who shall say
You have missed your greatest play,
And shall dash your hopes away—
Play the game!
You must bow unto his will
Though your chance it seems to kill,
And you think he erred, but still
Play the game!
For the Great Umpire above
Sees what we see nothing of,
By His wisdom and His love—
Play the game!
Keep your faith in Him although
His grim verdicts hurt you so,
At His Will we come and go—
Play the game!

I saw a cubs fan at the grocery store the other day and I just lost it, fucking smug prick. I was trying to buy some bread and he was there looking at the fucking salads. Typical fucking Cubs fan.
I tried to ignore him, but this asshole was just fucking unbelievable. Jesus Christ. He had a fucking Cubs t-shirt on. I bet you he bought it at the team store like a fucking schmuck. He and the fucking stupid cashier probably had this big self-satisfactory exchange. "Can I pay extra for this t-shirt, haha, I want to sacrifice my money for the Cubs to make history, just like Gordon Heyward."
I couldn't fucking take it so I walked up to him and I told him to his face that Kershaw was better than Arrieta even without Arrieta's inevitable regression this season, and that the advanced sabermetrics like TJS completely prove it. But this guy just fucking smiled and in the most smug fucking way possible replied to me that Arrieta had better "stuff".
What the fuck? What does that even mean?
I tried to explain how TJS brings everything together under fairly deemed conditions but this guy just kept on going on and on about Arrieta's nasty "stuff".
I fucking lost it, l told that fucking idiot what a smug fucking retard he was. He was like 'dude what are you talking about' like he didn't fucking know what a prick he was. l fucking tackled him right there.
Staff called the cops on me as if l did anything wrong. They are actually going to fucking put me on trial for assault. Fucking Cubs fans

He actually claimed he had better "stuff" than Kershaw.
Fucking smug prick.
So I fucking lost it. I told that Smug retard how undeserving he was of the Cy Young. I fucking tackled him right there.
Staff called the cops on me. I'm actually going to trial.
Arrieta tweeted @me to watch out because we was going to be something after that.
Fucking smug prick.

>>67716115
all memes aside no, hes good because his cutter and sinker are elite and generate some of the lowest exit velocity out of any pitcher in the league, that is if anyone even makes contact with them
>>67716197
Literally every professional athlete is overpaid
>>67716197
You must really be fucked in the head if you believe a living GOAT is overpaid when he isn't even the highest paid pitcher ....and even if he was the highest paid it would still be underpayment for Kershaw

They're both faggots. The NL produces absolute losers who ruin the game.

Tell me this: More teams have won championships with less money than Kershaw is getting paid for. I don't give a shit if he is the second coming of Sandy Koufax. If they don't win rings it doesn't matter how good of a pitcher you are.
>>67716240

>>67716256
>muh rings
Hes better than Koufax already
>trout has had a noodle arm ever since coming into the league

>>67716115
clean, Arrieta works hard
Daily reminder that obsessing over the individual regular season achievements of Kershaw is equivalent to winning the WS for Dodgers fans.
>>67716281
The noodle arm meme died years ago. He's improved immensely.
>>67716256
>"why can't 1 pitcher contribute as much as a team of 40 men?"
Kershaw is a true GOAT with or without a ring, everyone is witnessing history and they don't even know it because it's been happening for years
>>67716271
Koufax only had like four good season
>>67716246
rude 2bh, hes been good the last 2 games, hope he stays at lead off because hes LITERALLY the only guy on the entire team that actually draws walks.
>>67716290

And he will be swept under the rug because he never won the Big One.

His contract should be adjusted to be worth 5M more than the highest annual salary of that season. He should be paid 40M over 10 years
>>67716338
Don't even remind me.
Next month we'll be out of the race desu, if not by July.
This team is finished.
Arrieta has not physically changed at ALL since he began Pilates, that is a fact.
You are all just absurdly jealous of his ability. Go ahead and try to point out ONE thing that's different about him in this picture.
Pro tip: you can't.
Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if Sale also juiced.
With the way he's pitching, it's almost like it's not fair.
I'm a White Sox fan, and I'm not convinced he's really that good. I think Quintana is the more complete pitcher.
>>67716338
latos had completely unsustainable peripherals
>>67716376
What are you talking about, steroids have obviously caused to him to grow a third eye
thanks for proving he's a cheat
>>67716389
oh no lad. hold on. there is about to be a storm coming your way
>>67716395
He's shit, his first few starts were obvious fluke outings. Not to mention, he played against shit teams too.
I wouldn't be surprised if he's off the team in a month with the way he's pitching. We're scouring the trade market for starters, as we should be.
>>67716405
Because I might be right?
Don't remind me with what shit I've had to put up with this past week. I don't want Sale winning the Cy Young in a lost season.
Has there been a greater single season in the history of Baseball?

If Quintana doesn't win tomorrow, we're getting swept by the Royals at home.
The only way the White Sox will win is if we finally clean house, this shit has been going on too long. Fire Ventura, fire Hahn, build from scratch. If we have to trade Sale or Quintana, so be it.
Be honest here /sp/. Do you really think Jake Arrieta is on steroids?

>>67716481
the memes must flow
>>67716442
Why is he so perfect?
>>67716481
I legitimately think 60% of the league is on steroids, and those 60% are the biggest names/stars that have been producing this year.
That is not an outrageous claim, and nor do I quite frankly care if they are because these people are already elite tier talents already and are just trying to make themselves better
>>67716481
you mean jake from natty arms?
>>67716472
Seriously fucking end yourself. Sale just ended the losing streak, the sox are still in first place, and you want them to blow the team up. Like why are you a fan at all
>>67716486
At least the Whos didn't drop both games of a double header to the dads and lose a series to the Brewers. When will the bleeding stop? Please make it stop. I don't want to go back to 2012.
>>67716338
nah they're fine, just a rough patch right now. a few losses by the 3-5th starter is fine, they only need to win half of those games at best. And Rodon will improve.
>>67716389
he's not this good. .197 babip against, that's not at all sustainable, even with this new "weak contact" Sale who isn't really inducing any additional weak contact, at all.
But I'm enjoying this new ride while it lasts.
he's still elite though obviously

I have to put up with far worse than they do.

My god, you're a faggot. I didn't think you were bad because the team does suck, but now you're saying this shit too?
>>67716595
who sux fans are babies
math major here (6 figures starting)
If Sale and Q, in their remaining ~49 (of 66 (they're 15-2 so far)) starts can win 2/3 of those, which sounds reasonable for aces to me, that's 48-18 for the season, the rest just need to go 40-56 for 88 wins, which is probable playoffs. They're 10-14 so far, so they need to go 30-42. Rodon will get like half those himself and it's all good
these are team wins obviously
so in conclusion, they're practically in the playoffs already desu
Yo guys I'm heading out to do some pilates, anyone wanna come with?
>>67716631
Sale is believable but

C'mon son, you're a math major

Cubs are going to clean the Gnats clock tonight.
Also, where were you when the comish personally BTFO out of everyone who thinks Arrieta is roiding?
http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/story/chicago-cubs-jake-arrieta-performance-enhancing-drugs-rob-manfred-comments-051916
What's even better is, even if Arrieta is roiding, the league will cover it up now after this statement from manfred.
Enjoy the age of Pilates
Legit question
Are the Asstros seriously done? After all that hype?
I don't pay very much attention to the AL but that's some awful shit compared to what I heard they were supposed to be

>>67716513
Maddon just needs to do something to get his team mentally refocused.
Okay, he used a magician and smuggled in a petting zoo last year. What can he do for the team this year that doesn't involve hookers or massive amount of drugs?
>>67721610
doesnt project that far out senpai
>>67721642
Damn, I want Aoki to hit Arrietta
>>67721596
They were very lucky last year. Their lineup has too many K's in it and their starting pitching is thin. The trade with the phillies was stupid, they really needed a guy like Velasquez in their rotation more than a bullpen.
>>67721656
aoki needs to stop attempting to steal tbhwy
>>67721667
They're still better than their record shows. They may have overachieved lastyear but they are underachieving this year. It's crazy how teams drastically change with more or less the same lineup.
>>67721620
Maddon should just get everyone on the Cub's team some sort of wild cat to care for. Tigers, Lions, Pumas, Lynx, Jaguars, Panthers, Leopards. Lackey just needs a really cute long hair because he's going to just freak out one day.
>>67721620
The 86' Mets won a world series on nothing but hookers and massive amounts of drugs. Maybe he should just do that.
>>67721862
The Chicago Cubs are all already on massive amounts of drugs.....

Harper
Papelbon
Bautista
God fucking damn it. I was on twitter a minute ago and saw Brendan Rodgers trending. As a Rockies fan, my stomach dropped thinking one of our best prospects got injured or traded. Nope. Some fucking soccer manager.
Okay, I'll bite.
Why does everyone hate Harper?
I always here how he's an ass, but all I ever see is him giving it to Umps, and let's be honest, the Umps have been garbage for awhile if not forever.
Is it because he's got an arrogant attitude?
I've never seen that anywhere except a few cases, no more than Bautista.
Reminder that Arizona unironically traded the best prospect in baseball for THIS
>>67722950
Red Sox fan here. He comes off as a huge douche. Fighting with Billy Beane? Fuck Donaldson as a staff record label and as a crew.

Peavy is lights out in the second half of the season every year. Him and Cain have both had good starts in their last few starts. Their top 3 are all under 2.75 ERA. Their rotation will be the best in the league for the rest of the season. And their bullpen will be fine, Konros coming back will help too
Giants are better than the Dodgers

You only need one truly elite pitcher to win the World Series.
Dodgers won't know because they haven't had a truly elite pitcher for decades.
>>67723976
it could happen but it wont be because of some made up cycle maymay. im not totally sure we even make the postseason at this rate but if the front office is smart they make some moves and get us over the hump. 2018 is the year of reckoning so might as well make the best out of 2016/2017
making postseason 3 years straight with 2 pennants and 1 ws win will be bretty good either way. we will have one more chance next year to do something and then the great rebuild will happen once again

Peavy and Cain had only one good start in their last start.
And do you really trust Jeff "3rd worst starter in 2015" Samardjiza?
Their BP doesn't have any significant injuries and are still one of the worst in MLB. The Dodgers are more battle proven and doesn't have a rotation that's full of question marks
>>67724143

I never thought I would enjoy watching Baseball. But, when my husband was in the hospital for surgery a couple years ago, it was playoffs, and he's a baseball fan, so I'd watch w/ him and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. If I'm going to watch something, I want to know how it all works, so at first I had a thousand questions (I only understood very basic rules of the game), and when I actually started to understand some of the nuances of the game, it became even more enjoyable. The next season, we watched every game of the Mariners (we're from Seattle), they didn't have a very good season but we'd watch anyways, and I loved getting to know all the players. I am so excited that they are doing so well this year! A couple years ago, I could never imagine I would want to watch a 3 hour (or more) baseball game nearly every day. Now, I am sad when they have a day off. Still, that is a lot of time to invest, so often we have to other things while the game is on, but like you said, you can hear when something good is happening, then watch the replay (or rewind w/ DVR). We also like to record them all anyway, so we can skip commercials. GO MARINERS!!! I never in a million years thought I'd actually like baseball more than football. I feel like a traitor even admitting that! Also, I got to go to my first baseball game last week! We went to Denver and saw the Rockies beat Arizona. Great seats and SOOOOO Much fun. My husband even taught me how to do one of those score card things. I can't wait to go see a Mariners game!

If they sweep(at the very least win) this series with the Who's they should have a decent head of steam going into the rest of the season. Davis has already had his seasonal malfunction and the bats are awake now with Hoz leading the way at like .357. All they need now is some solid starts from the itchers
