>>67799698
I mean throwing an intentional hit is pretty shitty whether its common or accepted or not. I think its fucking dumb. Eventually someone is going to get really hurt by the intentional bean and then what? There will probably be dumb rule changes and safety precautions.
Pitchers should just calm the fuck down if a hitter wants to watch his hr or flip a his bat. They all get exited about striking out the side. Let the hitters show emotion too with out fear of getting plunked. Fucking dumb.

Reds starter gave up 2 runs, 1 er on a homer and error. It was over scattering 8 hits as well as 4 walks and lots of fouled off pitches so despite only giving up 2 runs, he still was over 110 pitches and so the bullpen comes in bottom of the 6th to try to keep things 12-2. What happens next?

>>67800720
Astros sereis was a fluke. They still have good talent+ we unfortunately ran into Keuchal while they didn't get Sale or Quintana.
Yankees are only 1 under .500 and are on a tear recently, along with their #1 bullpen in the league, they aren't bad at all.
You make it sound like we played the Twins or Braves or something.
>>67800805
>while they didn't get Sale
They did. It was the only game they lost
>>67800854
Oh shit right. Well then you got me. Im stymied how they lost to the stros. I guess they were due for some positive regression with all that young talent on their team and it came against us.

>>67801149
Darvish doesn't get the recognition he deserves because he's not white. The guy is a legit top 5 RHP in the AL and is the second greatest strikeout pitcher of his generation.
>>67802043
he also plays for a boring team and hasnt pitched in over a year
>>67802043

You're talking to DG right now.
Guess.
>>67802233
No. I want pissboi himself to answer.
>>67802089
No. Major League Baseball is just racist towards colored people and minorities.
>>67802122
I always ranked Darvish above Kershaw because Darvish in 2013 and 2014 K/9 is fucking crazy (struck out the most men ina season in 11 years) and was on pace for 300K but seeing as Kershaw has already done that + having an insane S:W ratio I give the edge to the soon to be 2X NL MVP. 3rd best I would give to Sale but he obviously won't return to that prolific K status.
>>67802266
Racist b8 is stale b8
You're better than this
>>67802266
I actually agree that there are a couple top coloreds that don't get praised enough (like Andrew McCutchen) but thinking Darvish isn't considered fantastic because he's some weird Asian mutt is wrong. He just hasn't pitched in a year and a half
Damn J-Hay
>>67802331
McCutchen got praised plenty surrounding his MVP season. He's not having a great year, so obviously you won't hear about him as much.
Which position is the easiest to play, especially for a newcomer?
>>67802416
Left Filed or Right Field
>why is X not treated fairly??
Because in case you haven't noticed, MLB likes to pick a couple guys to shill for the season, regardless of talent.
And unless the person has a really good game, MLB ain't gonna mention them at all.
Its all about marketing, don't get upset when your fav player is neglected.
>>67802331
Adam Jones, Kenley Jansen, Xander, Ryu, shin-soo etc. fuck even iwakuma who was the real 2013 Cy Young. Love Max but that was not his season.
>>67802331
Darvish is extreme talent, he's not just some good AL pitcher who got TJS. He's a legit top 5. I've never seen him pitch in person because of inconvinent scheduling but I have to someday. I'm willing to drive to Anaheim for that nigga.
>We're ranked #2
God I fucking HATE ESPN.
We literally aren't that fucking good. I mean, we're good, but our pitching alone knocks us out of the top 5.
>muh meme Joe Kelly start (i mean the guy had a 9.35 ERA before saturday for christ sake)

And don't even get me started on Buttholez, I think I'll have an aneurysm if I have to focus on him at all.
Add to the fact we have 0 (ZERO (NADA (REI))) pitching depth.
Eduardo Rodriguez JUST decided to wear a knee brace despite being on the fucking DL for the past 2 months and then getting sore again in his rehab start, and now isn't forecasted to be backing by mid-june (so in reality, by July)
Henry Owens is literally walking everybody and blows DICK.
Brian fucking Johnson, the one guy other than E-Rod I had hope for, JUST FUCKING LEFT THE MINORS ON MEDICAL LEAVE TO DEAL WITH FUCKING ANXIETY ISSUES
And Roenas Elias? 7 ERA in the minors. Sean O'Sullivan, the dirty mick? He blows.
Our pitching is fucking DOGSHIT. I still don't have faith in the fucking team for that reason alone. It's fun having offense, but our offense shouldn't alone have us ranked fucking second.
tl;dr fuck you E!SPN
>>67802513
Get a trip so I can filter you. You stupid pasty Massachusetts trash.

>>67802511

You make it sound like thats a hard place to get to.
>>67802537
I mean, I think making a case for our offense carrying us to be top 15, top 10 even would be realistic and fair. But #2 is just silly.

>>67802620
No way. Unless you're already decent then you shouldn't play first, you get too much action by having to be involved in so many plays and have to field rockets hit down the line and hard throws from the infield constantly, sometimes in the dirt
I would say right field or second base
>>67803026
And? So he had a perfectly average day?
>bumgarners wife is cheating on him with a black dude
holy shit, so he is a cuck on top of being worse than kershaw
>>67803133
The answer is left field or right field. Everyone knows it. No infield spot.

>just watched Big Papi's attempt at cycle
wew lad
>>67803223
It's pretty clear in the OP though >>67799206
>>67803133
Yeah but it's not like you need a particularly good arm or have to memorize exactly where to go on a tricky play or something. Just catch the ball that's thrown at you.
Is there a bigger meme player than Bartolo Colon?
>manfred's excuse to keep the DH out of the NL was essentially an insult to colon
>>67803205
Second is pretty easy and laid back though if you're trying to get in on infield which is why I mentioned it. A little less action than short stop, and short throws to first so you have more time and don't need to field the ball as cleanly. Plus you don't need the reaction time that you need at 1st and 3rd
If you're completely new to baseball and suck then LF and RF are the answers though, you're right
>>67803249

>>67803312
what a dumb question
>>67803307
Depends on the bunt of course but most of the time the 1st baseman probably won't have to be the one fielding it.
>>67803390
Yeah, true I guess
>>67803312
Because it's the way the game is meant to be played? Why do you only have to use your feet in soccer? Why can't you just hold the ball and run with it in basketball?
>>67803431

Yes. They're playing some strange bastardization of the real sport. It doesn't actually count.
>>67803616
I have the anonmizer turned on, so I can't see it.
Is the decrease in offense due to increased quality of pitching, or because everyone in the 90's and early 2000's were actually on PEDs?
Will Barry Bonds ever make it into the HoF?
Should Ortiz be a Hall of Famer?
>>67803623
Don't forget Arrieta.
>>67803667
Yes and yes
>>67803667
Yes
Pretty much
No
Maybe
>>67803667
Rather than an increase in the quality of pitching, it's more likely to be due to the increase in the amount of data teams have. PEDs definitely helped the dinger numbers though.
Yes
No
>>67803667
It's the PED's man. PED's definitely benefit hitters more than pitchers. There's obviously great pitchers but I don't think their numbers would be quite as dominant if they were playing in the era where the average player was putting up 20 home runs and 30 home runs wasn't even impressive anymore
>>67803667
1. Obviously the latter, roids boosted the shit out of everyone's hitting
2. Ya, even if you took him off steroids, he was talented enough to have a HoF career. McGwire, for example, wouldn't be.
3. Ya. The voters will vote for him just on merit of muh rings and muh postseason and the fact he's raking at like 40. If he gets busted this year though, there's not a shot in hell.
>>67803667
Let's put the early 2000's in perspective.
Pedro Martinez, in 2000, had quite literally the bets season for a pitcher ever.
He had a 1.74 ERA. The second best pitcher in the AL that year had a fucking 3.7 (Roger Clemens).
The second best to Pedro overall had a 2.58
The league fucking average was roughly 5.
Just think about that for a moment. The average ERA in an era where Pedro Martinez, Roger Clemens, Randy Johnson, and Greg Maddux were pitching was 5
post yfw kershit blows the all star game for us again

Bonds shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame. Just because he was good enough to go in without steroids doesn't mean shit. Alex Rodriguez would make it to the Hall of Fame too without steroids and PEDs, he's also the biggest douchebag to have ever played baseball, making Ty Cobb and Carl Mays look like Cal Ripken Jr by comparison. Steroids users should never make it in just because they compromised the integrity of the game and their admittance into the hall would compromise the integrity of it as well.

You lost 2/3 to them at home. Know your place.
>>67804590
well, any way you look at it, the yankees are definitely currently a <.500 team. the fact of the matter is that right now they have lost more games than they've won. when you're talking about the new york yankees of baseball, you can't argue the fact that right now, at this point in time, they are currently under .500
>>67804630
>You lost 2/3 to them
not personally, i had nothing to do with that
>>67804587
Barry Bonds was a roider and shouldn't be considered the greatest at shit. Roger Maris still holds the single season HR record and Hank Aaron still holds the career HR record. All of Bonds' accomplishments are null and void.

Ty Cobb was by no means as bad as people make him out to be, but he was still pretty rough around the edges.

It's a hall of fame not a hall of morals. Barry was easily the best hitter of his generation and despite what you think he's still #1 on the all time home run list. It's ludicrous to omit a player of his stature from the hall.
And nonetheless, his pre-roid years should be enough to get him in the hall.
You need to get off your holier-than-thou baseball purist high horse.

Reminder that The The Angels Angels of Anaheim will be paying Josh Hamilton $24,010,000 ($412,009,199 Mexican Pesos) this season for being on a divisional rival's DL the rest of this season.
Reminder that The The Angels Angels of Anaheim paid a former player to literally elimate them from the 2015 AL Wild Card race.
Reminder that The The Angels Angels of Anaheim got rid of Hamilton for his drug problem and in turn are currently paying for his drug habit.
Reminder that Tommy Hanson's drug addiction only got worse in Anaheim.

These are the weakest of all the positions. Getting a solid C like Posey goes for 60k. I currently have him as SS, batting like .220 with 12 HRs. But a solid SS could go for 30k.
