Pagan will definitely be on the DL. Span will probably be on the DL by then and Blanco will be handling CF. Pence will still be on the DL and Parker will probably still be in RF. If Williamson remains a AAAA player, Ishi might legitimately be the best option for LF. A shitload of injuries led to him starting there in 2014.

They'll need a a couple starters for the next couple seasons anyway. If he can put up the numbers he did last season the money is not a bad deal.

Aside from Sale and maybe Quintana, our rotation is the worst in baseball. Hands down. No question.

It's a shame, because Sale hasn't seen a winning year once, only a matter of time before he gets a chance to win elsewhere. The man deserves it.

Because since Ozzie left, this has been the same shit year in and year out. It's only becoming all the more natural with the incompetent personnel that we've had to put up with for nearly HALF A DECADE now.

Try undergoing this for now five years in a row. Hot start, nothing but disappointment in the end. This is only natural because Ventura and Hahn still haven't been fired yet. And it's only a matter of time before we start a fire sale.

Why the fuck do the Yankees think it's okay to play in a fucking little league sized park?

I knew right field was extremely short but so is left!! It's like 314 and 318 (I think) with normal sized walls. Didn't old Yankee Stadium at least have a normal left field and pretty deep left center?

I'm all for fields varying in size, but that's stupid

Same exact dimensions as the old stadium. BUT, the wall is lower than the old stadium. I think 8 feet down from 10 feet high and the angle the wall goes out from the right field foul pole is completely straight instead of wide. So technically if you hit the ball say, 15 feet from the pole fair it has a slightly shorter distance to travel to become a homerun than in the old stadium.

Visiting teams are free to use the right and left field walls too.

I agree but this time I think I agree with them. Last 2 seasons, fangraphs could suck my dick because I knew they were wrong. I've seen enough of this season to know the meme magic has ran out. I think there is an outside shot at WC2 but only if the rest of the AL sucks dick. No way we get over 88 wins.

Too many things are going wrong all at once. Morales is completely lost at the plate, gordon is completely lost at the plate and now he is dead anyway, moose is dead, the rotation lacks any kind of depth and is performing even worse than at it's worst of last year. We can no longer carry Yost's shitty decisions with sheer babip luck and outlier bullpen performance. Most of the minor leaguers we brought up are playing at replacement level but that wont be enough.

Looked it up, Servais was the bench coach then in the front office for a short spell before going to the Angles.

>>68239939
Aoki isn't terrible, maybe he just needs to not bat leadoff and we can keep Martin there. When he's out of that spot, guy gets good again and I don't know why.

And his defense is better than most in the league. Martin's a top tier defender though.

I don't give a shit about wins any more after how the Yankees started the season.

Fuck them, they are frauds fucking sell. Also fuck Hal, Hank, Lonn, Randy and the rest of the Steinbrenner cronies.

Terrible lineups that demonstrate clear lack of understanding of players
Questionable decisions like bunting at the wrong times and calling a hit and run at the worst times.

Completely lost the locker room and respect of players
Cannot instill a winning attitude or passion for the team
Has orchestrated multiple collapses

Also Hunter Pence and Angel Pagan are always hurt and they pretty much have AAA outfielders filling in at at least one spot. Worst case scenario he stays terrible in AAA, best case scenario he starts hitting okay and takes over the back up outfielder role. (behind Gregor Blanco) I assume they signed him for pennies so there isn't really much risk involved

Welcome to the club.

A few things to know about the Rangers

-Been one of the best teams in MLB the last 5-6 years (despite only coming really close to a championship before the ump calls a strike a ball because the ump was a fag and was betting om the cardinals to win)
-have a possible multiple Cy Young type pitcher in Yu Darvish
-Roty in Mazara
-Profar who is the best hitter in the AL right now

Dont be fooled by meme teams with flash in the pan success like the Royals or Bluegays. Rangers are a good team with a bright future and possible Dynasty coming up
>>
>>68246071
Do you WANT to jinx us or something? We already had Darvish and Beltre leave the game last night with minor injuries, let's just take it easy for the time being.

Nice comeback Cleetus. Now when you're done fucking your sister try to realize I was refereeing to the dozens of times in the past several years the Rangers have been "dominate", only to fall apart two weeks later.
>>
>>68246506

Remember when PEDerson was on-pace for 50 dingers before the ASB and went to complete shit in the second half because the scouting reports on him got better and the league adjusted? Seager's not going to get to 30 dingers and his wRC+ will end up down in the 115-120 range. Still very good for a SS, but not enough to significantly outweigh Crawford's elite defense. Either guy is a defensible choice at the moment, but nobody else should even be in the conversation.

The Rangers are only 3 games ahead in their division, that's not exactly what I would describe as "dominant" at this point in the season.

Rangers are 1 game ahead of the next team in their league (Orioles) while the Cubs are 5 games ahead of the next team in their league (Nationals). Oh, and the Nationals have the same record as the Rangers do.

Cubs are much more dominant than the Rangers, it's no comparison. Also, Rangers are streaky as fuck and have a shit tier bullpen, just wait for those bats to cool off and for your bullpen to start giving up games left and right.

Now adjust it by taking out Tollesons ERA

- Diekman
- Bush

Both relievers with sub 2.00 ERA
Dyson, our closer 2.12 ERA

The only Reliever thats used regular with above 3.00 ERA is Barnette and its only 3.13.

The rangers bullpen is fine and has 2nd most saves in the AL
it just doesnt seem that way because Tolleson is sporting above a 10.00 and he is still on the depth chart. Rangers still have one of the best starting pitching in the AL

If the Rangers are considered "streaky" then so is every other team that is winning the division and has a winning record. "Streaky" is a word casuals use to get their floundering arguements across. Dont use it if you dont want to sound stupid

9 is good cause he actually misses a start rather than just being pushed back a day if it were 5

Machado got too many games to be honest.

He might get a perfect game, anon.

Technically only misses 1 start, so it's basically a 1 game suspension.

Sizemore deserved it more than both of them. Or Hafner since MVP voting is so strongly skewed towards offensive performance.

I remember Pirela but no. I was thinking of Zelous Wheeler.

He'll have a meeting with James Andrews soon enough.

It's been like that for me for the past few years. The fact that I played varsity baseball makes it worse.
