the Rangers will make the World series
The Cubs wont
>>68022050

the all star voting is so broken right now, Alex Gordon is ahead of Mookie Betts

Reds have a 6.76 ERA (worst by far in the majors) and broke a record with their awfulness this season. The Reds bullpen is historically bad.

>>68023570
Psst Lonnie in right every day
That's better than over age marlon Byrd
>>68023614
He still sucks but we'll probably need another backup outfielder. Probably Naquin again
>>68023637
>Lonnie
>sucks
No, he's one of the best right fielders, naquin is trash as fuck in the outfield Lonnie is also starting to heat up at the plate
Kersh, Greinke, Barbie, Felix, Wain-O, Price, and JV are hall of famers.
Lincecum can still redeem himself if he can manage a 3.00 ERA for thr next 5 seasons or become a top 5 closer (unlikely)
>>68022160
>>68022160
>Cubs Bullpen
They need to demote or just cut Richard. If your starter is able to do 6 innings without giving up a run, while you give up 3 hits and a run on the first 3 batters you face. There really isn't an excuse.
>Sox Bullpen
They blew consecutive games where they had the lead going into the 9th.
If anything a non official rule needs to be made where if you blow 3 saves and your ERA goes above a certain amount, you get automatically demoted to the minors. That sort of pressure might actually motivate relievers not to be complete dogshit.
>>68023671
I know he's no good in the outfield and probably a BABIP babby as well, but he'll be the first name they call up.
I just can't warm up to Chisenhall because he's so damn streaky it sucks.

>>68024927
Davis is alright in center but he seems to lose a lot of balls. If it wasn't for that Reds series he would be hitting a lot closer to .200. Chisenhall can't hit lefties and but is fine defensively and adequate against righties. Ramirez seems fine at the plate but he still sucks in left.
Having 2 converted infielders and a career fourth outfielder as starters isn't very promising

As an Indians fan, Bogaerts easily deserves to start, but it should only be between Bogaerts and Lindor as no one else is even close. Lindor will probably be the lone representative anyway

desu it is hard to judge based solely on fielding %. Errors are only counted if you can get to a ball, which means having a huge range. Ozzie Smith and Omar Vizquel committed a lot of errors but are regarded as two of the best defensive players of all time

lel
>>68026541
>>68026558
Thenm show me a detailed analysis proving that Lindor's defense outstreaches Xander's SO MUCH that it would propel him to a deserved AS spot
You can't, because instead of having stats you are just choosing to believe that
Fact: Xander has the highest BA in the AL and is leagues ahead of any other SS in the game in offensive stats
Fact: Xander has a better fielding % than Lindor (but that doesn't matter because HURR NOT MUH SABER) and is one of the best defensive shortstops in the MLB
It's funny to see just how delusional some fans can get when it comes down to shit like this
Why do Red Sox fans get so sensitive when anybody questions Xander's legitimacy (and ASG availability)?
>>68026580
They're both outdated anyway senpai
Lindor / Bogaerts
AB 196 / 217
R 33 / 42

RBI 22 / 30
SB 10 / 7
AVG .306 / .350
OBP .367 / .401
OPS .780 / .917

>>68026748
>the difference in stats is negligible
holy fucking shit what
a .200 difference in OPS is fucking "negligible"?
>Stay salty that your SS won't make the cut though

Right, let's just ignore Xander's obvious power advantage on top of everything else
>>68026845
He's not delusional ops only counts if you have a high slugging which only happens if you have a smaller park
>>68026882
lmao what kind of dumbass excuse is that?
And that's not true at all.
>>68026882
>muh ballpark is the reason!
>>68026875
Slugging, Lindor isn't a heavier bat, he's a speedy guy he legs out infield singles >>68026909
Actually it is
>>68026909
Bogaerts has a smaller park to hit in giving him a higher chance to raise his slugging and ultimately his ops
>>68026845
I think you're forgetting that just a few weeks ago Lindor was better than Xander in all categories for the year, but he's on a hit streak now where Lindor is slumping. We're also talking about someone that doesn't even have a full year in the majors versus someone on his fourth, but when you look at their career stats Lindor has been extremely productive in comparison.
Just calm down mate.
>>68026917
hahahahahahaha
ok buddy, I'm sure Lindor would magically have an identical OPS if he played in boston
>>68026917
Then why doesn't he have a higher BA than Xander...?
>THOSE STATS DONT COUNT OBVIOUSLY ITS NOT FAIR DIFFERENT BALLPARK NOT FAIR HE'S NOT AS STRONG
this is what you sound like
>>68026941
Not saying, but Lindor would have a higher slugging
>>68026948
No that's not what I sound like, because bogaerts is a slugging shortstop, so yes he gets more hits that go further out
>>68026940
>I think you're forgetting that just a few weeks ago Lindor was better than Xander in all categories for the year, but he's on a hit streak now where Lindor is slumping.
This is LITERALLY false.

>This is LITERALLY false.
I'm pretty sure it isn't but I can't find anything to corroborate so I'll accept evidence saying otherwise
>>Xander's just streaking and Lindor's slumpinh
Not "just" but that is a fact.
>>68027022
Home runs add more to slugging when you hit .354 and it's not all singles your slugging is high
>>68027022
Progressive Field has a higher runs/game YOU FUCKING RETARD
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
RETARD OVERLOAD
OOOOOOH MYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOD SHUT THE FUCK UP!
>>68027066
So then how can you say that Lindor has been better than Xander when Xander has been performing better?
Like I don't get you right now. Lindor slumping is bad. Xander streaking is good.
Xander is performing better than Lindor. You even fucking admit it yourself.
>>68027082
>Thinking slugging means runs
Wow
Retarded
Can you understand that slugging for one person doesn't mean adding runs
Okay enough already. There's still over a month left. We haven't even voted a player to the all-star game since fucking Juan Gonzalez in like 2002.
Lindor will most likely be our lone representative unless Salazar is picked so stop being mad already.

>>68027124
Progressive field also has more HR/game
How's that for slugging you faggot?
Say my name
>>68027152
Not saying they don't but you're retarded ass thinks that runs/game at a ballpark
Slugging is determined by ballpark and how hard the ball is hit out of the infield
>>68027151
No fuck you. Red Sox always deserve better than Shitland.
>>68027155
Reminder that Lindor doesn't hit that many home runs FUCKING RETARD
>>68027151
>Lindor will most likely be our lone representative after somehow surpassing the ballot leading Xander Bogaerts
>>68027115
You're talking to more than one person, anon, fucking calm down. You (someone) said X is shitting all over Lindor and that's not the case. Lindor is currently, maybe temporarily, slightly better than Lindor in offensive performance on the year. Unless you put all value on a player in OPS then no, Bogaerts does not "shit" on Lindor and the fact that one player is hot RIGHT NOW where the other isn't RIGHT NOW necessarily leads to stats that favor the one RIGHT NOW
>>68027205
>reminder that Boston is bandwagon
>reminder that fan voting
>>68027205
I mean as the required representative. Doesn't MLB still require at least one from each team or did they get rid of that?
>>68027203
>he doesn't have a higher slugging % because he doesn't hit as many extra base hits!
I'm sorry, is this supposed to be a defense in support of how Lindor is a better player?
Am I going crazy here?
>>68027231
What? Are you retarded? We weren't even talking about defense we were talking about offense
>>68027210
>RIGHT NOW
you mean, when the all-star game voting is going on? wow, it's weird that the fans want to reward the player who's doing well right before the all-star break and leads the majors in many offensive categories rather than the one who's slumping!!! isn't that fucking crazy?
all indians fans need to stop posting in this general, jesus christ this is insane levels of homerism
>>68027270
Alright now I know you're baiting
>>68027205
Are you serious?
>>68027210
Xander DOES shit all over Lindor offensively.
HE'S FUCKING BA IS 40 FUCKING POINTS HIGHER
HIS OPS IS OVER 100 POINTS HIGHER
HIS OBP? HIS SLUGGING?
BOTH HIGHER
HIS RBIS? HIS HOMERUNS?
HIGHER
HE'S BEATING HIM IN EVERY FUCKING CATEGORY THAT MATTERS
>>68027289
About what, how Xander is leading the ballots? Not even remotely, do you even read baseball news?
>>68027320
Dude they're a required player representative for each team (at least one). That's what the anon meant by he'll be their rep to the game.
>>68027277
>anon says x
>anon shows x isn't right
>anon goes full retard about completely unrelated y
Jesus, you're a moron.
>how to trigger Red Sox fans
>>68027299
Seriously get help
>>68027379
You were making a case that is was still unreasonable to determine who the best SS is RIGHT NOW because the season hasn't played out, but ALL STAR VOTING IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW
You're the moron you utter buffoon.
And you didn't fucking show that anything wasn't right you homer retard.
>>68027408
How about you step back from your delusional belief that Lindor is some magical being and is better than Xander when he literally hasn't been.
You need fucking help because you're delusional.
>>68027379
dude seriously what the fuck kind of """"point"""" are you making
>hurr it's just that bogaerts is streaking and lindor is not, we shouldn't reward players for actually hitting well, we should reward them for how well they COULD be hitting
like what the fuck is your argument? that lindor could be hitting as well as xander but isn't? that he's literally not able to hit the ball as far so we have to feel bad for him and excuse his worse slugging percentage? that his marginally better defense makes up for his deficit in every important offensive category? what is it man?
>>68027472
It's all of those until you prove him wrong
>>68027420
>You were making a case that is was still unreasonable to determine who the best SS is RIGHT NOW because the season hasn't played out
I don't know how to explain this on retard mode but in reality when BA changes game to game, literally AB to AB, as does OPS and OBP, none of Lindor's stats aren't significantly lower than Bogaert's. I want you to pay attention to what I just said: I didn't say Bogaerts shouldn't start in the All-Star. I didn't say that Bogaerts stats aren't better than Lindor's right now. I didn't say anything about "muh ss is better than ur ss" dickwaving.
Holy shit, anon.
tbqh with you Joe, I like Lindor a lot.
We should really all direct our anger and frustration at the Royals for being memers and voting memescobar into contention.
>Anibal Sanchez is moving to the bullpen, Brad Ausmus announced.
>>68027547
Brad autism
>>68027537
Then what fucking point were you making you flip-flopping coward?
>Lindor should be in over Xander
>but no i wasn't arguing that at all, ive only made a trillion arguments in favor of lindor, constantly moving the goalposts and just outright ignoring stats in Xander's favor
just baiting?
>>68027537
>none of Lindor's stats aren't significantly lower than Bogaert's.
Here you go with just blatant lies again, it's unreal. Do you think none of us can read or something?
>>68027541
Finally, a voice of reason. Let Franconamen join forces to destroy memes once and for all.
everyone on our team fucking sucks except for Lindor so we have to be defensive. but goddamn it shut the fuck up already I didn't know every Indians fan on here was a fucking homer be realistic. I bet you think Kluber is still an ace and Francona is a good manager and the bullpen isn't shit and Van Burkleo shouldn't be fired holy shit
>>68027620
fuck off with your autism
>>68027603
>Lindor should be in over Xander
Jesus fucking Christ, I NEVER SAID THIS YOU FUCKING MORON, PLEASE KILL YOURSELF
>>68027654
It wasn't you, no of course it wasn't.
it was all those OTHER indians fans that are constantly posting in these threads
no youre right
>>68027650
Go eat a Popsicle or something desu.
>>68027654
Dude shut the fuck up, I've been following as well and you have clearly been making a case for Lindor over Xander, stop trying to hide it you fucking coward
>>68027665
Hard to believe but it's not one anon pretending to be 5-10 consistent posters, chum. And I am right, thank you :^)
