Hi Mariners
Will we stay good?
>>68162472
We will, just look at all the good karma going around in the Bay right now. Hopefully Pence gets his dick sucked by God and will come back in the next 2 months.

did I need to know this?
>>68162655
of course
>>68162655
Jake Arrieta is 8% steroids
>>68162655
now remember, his big black man dick is all muscle
most of his fat is probably in that thick butt of his and maybe some lovehandles
i wonder if he's ripped
its a shame he can't hit at all
>>68162730
Think my Ryan Howard gnomes are going to go up in price over the years?
Yeah that is a surprise to us Royals fans as well. Morales needs a kick in the pants like they gave Ventura last season. Send him down to Ohmha for a few days or more. Sure Ventura hadn't even left for Ohmha before being brought back due to injuries to other SP but he sure as shit performed and behaved a hell of a lot better after that.
/mlb/ should close down the Rays and Marlins and start clubs in Puerto Rico and Cuba. The asspain from Miami Cubans alone would be worth it.

>Post yfw Rangers-Cubs Worlds eries
>>68162409
It's because he got out of the league that punishes pitchers and doesn't even let them hit and was put on a team that allowed him to play his strengths.
Although the Cubs got royally umpballed today in the calls. Also Maddon getting thrown out was pure bullshit.
>>68162853

Only if by good you mean shit. Lindor is the best AL SS, Hosmer makes a damn good case for best AL 1B, until his quad contusion Perez was objectively the best catcher in the AL. There are more reasons why your choices are shit in the AL but those are the first few. IDGAF about the Ninny Leauge so go nuts there.

I don't know, the Astros have a better differential than the Phils.
Listen to me retard, and listen good.
The Braves are winning the World Series this year, and you can mark my fucking words on that so make sure you're listening.
The team just acquired, quite literally, the best FA back up infielder that's hit the market since I don't know when because I don't really give a fucking fuck. They bolstered their bullpen with indisputably the best closer in the fucking league (That's Aroldis Vizcaino by the way because I know you wouldn't fucking know who he is because you just started watching baseball last September you dumb fucking moronic shit). Add to the fact that a corps of young studs like Dansby Swanson, Ender Inciarte, and Shaun Newcomb or whatever the fuck his first name is, are going to TEAR UP the asshole of the NL East and the top two teams in Runs Scored last season (The New York Steroiders and some disgraceful latinos up in Canada).
Are you fucking listening? Because I'd hope you are. Because I'd hope you are prepared to get fucking SHELLED by the myriad of fucking offensive POWER HOUSES that this fucking team has. Oh? You don't know any of them? Haha silly me, I forgot that you started learning about baseball last December. Let me give you the run down real quick, so fucking listen up and pay attention retard.
Freddie Freeman was IN-FUCKING-DISPUTABLY the best fucking 1B in the NL, and possibly the League if not for that roider with the Diamondbacks, and his ability to absolutely anally fuck your team's shit up in the tough spots where an RBI is needed will take the league by fucking storm. Erick Aybar, Flowers, Beckham, The Fucking Mayor of Back up Catcher City? Roughly 300 RBIs combined, mark it down on your scorecard. And just wait for that fucking BSC to absolutely cuck the shit out of your batters in the OF.
Post that fucking dumbshit ass pasta one more time you disgraceful spic, and just fucking watch what happens in the Regular season. Retard, thanks for listening.

>>68162946
I don't think you can challenge pitches since the strike zone is privy to whoever is umping behind the plate.
>12-2 since moving Springer to the leadoff spot
Daily reminder the city of chicago wanted a man killed because he caught a foul ball
>>68163576
Makes sense I guess. Still a poor call. The batter went around.

You're objectively wrong.
>>68163782
>bustgarts
>Xander Bogaerts is the best SS in the AL
You are now aware that Billy "Two Outs With One Swing" Butler has made thirty-six (36) and one-half MILLION United States dollars in his fat and sweaty career
This is how you fix baseball.
Robot umps can never objectively tell if a ball is a strike or not because of the variable height of each player's individual strike zone. All they can do objectively is PROVE that a called strike that never crossed the plate is actually a ball. Because of this, robot ump could never call a called ball a strike since it lacks the information to ever prove it. Let them be able to overrule called strikes in the exact instance in pic related.
This would reduce the number of miscalled pitches and increase offense.

Robot umps won't happen anytime soon, because if your team loses a close game you can blame it on the ump instead of your own shitty team
You don't get rid of the whipping boy

From the sound of things, Xander Boegarts will be in it, win decisively, throw a perfect game in the ASG, and carry the Red Sox to multiple World Series Championships as he becomes a 7 time Cy Young winner, 17 time Gold Glover, and 6 time Triple Crown winner. Be the ACE of ACES and greatest SS of all time.
Did I get all of it right Red Sox fans?
>>68167188
It would probably take nearly 200 pitches for Bauer to throw a no no. Each at bat includes a full count and about 6 foul offs with at least 2 or 3 curveballs in the dirt.
>>68167210

You can be in first place when the A's are in first place. So, never.
>>68172811
They are 7GB. I wish them good luck. I wouldn't mind another ALDS with them.
IDK what their schedule looks like but they have a hole to dig out of.
>>68172811
You guys are certainly better than the mariners but the rags will be a pretty hard challenge because of how much ground you need to make up and the fact they shrek you guys in Arlington.

It was glorious to see the Red Sox lose to the worst team in the MLB, and the fact the Orioles played their ass off and celebrated like they were going to the playoffs.
The Braves are faggots too, so it was doubly good.
>rags
>>68175319
Rangers however are one of the best run franchises with one of the best front offices in the MLB and all the """"people""""" that were doubting them in the off season werent even watching baseball before the 2013 season
>>68174090
they mean you are wont to mess with their starting pitchers, who are typically the guys that suck in the playoffs
>>68175612
Too bad the front office isn't in charge of getting that final strike, keeping from getting reversed swept in the ALDS, or making routine plays in an elimination game
>>68175748
And all those chokers aren't on the Rangers anymore
Rangers World Series win is pretty much confirmed within the next 1-3 years
>>68173009
>>68173259
There's still 100+ games left, 7GB in the beginning of June is barely anything. I think the Jays made up more than that after the AS break last year.

>I ask Darvish if it ever gets boring. Having random sex with beautiful women. If he ever gets bored with being the object of female affection. Hahahahaha, he laughs. “Depends. Sometimes if you're getting too much of it, having everyone come up to you every night, you definitely get bored of it. But it's pretty wild when it happens. I'm not gonna lie—98 percent of the time, no matter where we go, it happens. It's literally been like that since the fourth grade. Wherever we roll, it didn't really matter, chicks would come to me no matter what. Even before anything. But a lot of the time when it doesn't happen, you have more fun, anyway, because you can hang out with your boys.”
>Then I ask him what his signature sex move is. Why? I don't know, really. I thought it was funny. “Hmm.” He thinks for a while. Then he has an idea. “Jacking off!” He loves that. “You gotta write that one! That was great."

I thought Chisenhall proved he's the defensive second-coming of Gordon over these last three years. Meme teams even wanted to trade for him. And face it m8, Brantley is DEAD. It's shoulder injuries (especially multiple ones) that end careers. The ghost of Grady Sizemore came back and buttfucked the Wigwams and Brantley.
The only way he'll get good is if Byrd gives him the hook up :^)

What the fuck? At the absolute worst he's been average. Even then I think youre a jackass. He had a rough April but his last half dozen starts have been really good.
>>68184075
not even the only time. i remember a night he was on and he genuinely slurred every fourth word
>>68185459
stfu before i f**k you up
>>68185468
His fucking ERA is 4.8
His start to the season was HORRIBLE.
He's been getting better recently, but his velocity and location are a mess this year.
He's yet to have a showing that reinforces my confidence in him. He's been fucking bad.
Royals need to offer rum to wake up their bats like that sweaty buck did in the one and only baseball movie ever made

Assblasting libtard cancer since 1901
Assblasting another entire sport since 2015
I'm from Youngstown, and have been an Indians fan since I could be a fan of anything. I watched '95 and '97 and had the heartbreak "next year" become a mantra that at this point is wry cynicism and yet, a small part of my heart still believes it every single season.
I'm in my 30's now, my father is pushing old age hard, and the old man has seen one sporting success in his life, and that's the '64 Browns. My Grandfather died waiting to see an Indians World Series, as in 1948 he was occupying Germany.
My home city is a bombed-out rust-belt shithole that was murder capital of the country for about 5 years. We stuck around when everyone else left, and through the long winters we always had a hope that maybe, just maybe , with a little faith and a little luck, we too, even our maligned town on the banks of a flaming river on the shores of a putrid lake, we too could be the Champions, if not this year, than maybe next year. The entire sporting history of Cleveland, for 3 generations now, has been "almost". Every time we show up to a championship the heartbreak is even worse, because instead of it being an amorphous Idea; it's right there in front of you for the taking. For instance, the 1997 World Series:
Bottom of the 9th, Cleveland up 2-1. 0 Outs.
Jose Mesa comes on as closer.
Out, Single, single, run reached on a fielding error, out out.
Tie game. We went from 6 pitches away from ending out long nightmare to utter and total desolation because god reached down and made sure that one of the best teams in Baseball history would be beaten by a brand new expansion team with no history or fanbase, from fucking South Beach.
This is what being a Cleveland fan is, coming close, being crushed, maybe next year. So, dear /sp/, cut us a little slack if we get a little uppity when we're doing good. We've had so little to look forward to throughout our lives and for us every time we see a glimmer of hope, we go for it.

Its hard to tell with rookie pitchers. A lot of the times hitters aren't familiar with them and they get by with it. Fulmer has elite velocity and a pretty wicked slider. Time will tell but he's certainly a bretty gud pitcher.

Better start computing François

I hope we still get him in our SF series this year. Cueto was the slump buster for two huge Oriole L streaks last year, both at the K and OPACY. Even in SafeSpace Field those bats'll fuck his ass up.
Shame Boston doesn't get him.

Yes please. Though we have a Who's series starting Friday so that should wake up the bats again.
cool

Holy shit I didn't realize Paxton threw this hard.
>tfw Napoli has the second best range factor in the AL

Yo, you have Ubaldo tonight. If you want offense waking up, he'll be screaming in their slumbering ear to wake their asses up.

Depends on which Ventura shows up tonight. Hot head ace or cool dud. He has it in him to be an ace but the lack of control when he is trying to be cool and mellow is his downfall. The thing is he showed how to be a hot head and good the last half and postseason of 2015. Idk we will see.
>>68196856
He's a fucking undisciplined chimp
>>68196856
We will. Looking for a good series with you lot. After the RedSox and Yankee series I don't know what to expect from the club, but last nights game seemed to refresh the memory a bit.
>>68196944
He has his noments.

Yeah I am sad I have to work through the game but I will be checking scores and at least lurking the game thread. Last night was damn good even with the beatdown in the 7th. I thought it would go into extras scoreless. For a while it was 3-4 batters a half inning
