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.

LIFE AS A ROYALS FAN... WELL ITS JUST TORTURE. PURE TORTURE. SURE WE MAY HAVE HAD ONE OF THE MOST INSANE POSTSEASON RUNS AND JUST WON THE WORLD SERIES, BUT OUR TEAM WILL GO TO SHIT IN 2018 WHEN ALL OUR STARS BECOME FREE AGENTS
OUR SUCCESS WAS SO SHORT LIVED BECAUSE IT WAS FAKE. A FLUKE. WE WILL COME CRASHING DOWN AND THEN /SP/ WILL KNOW THAT WE WERE RIGHT ALL ALONG... THAT THE ROYALS ARE SO SHIT AND ****NOBODY**** KNOWS IT WORSE THAN WE DO.
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?

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.

You played a Seattle team with: #1 pitcher, #1 CF, #1 SS, and #1, 2 relievers on the DL last weekend.

One second I didn't know James Shields got traded from the Padres. Literally the next second I'm watching highlights of him getting absolutely shelled lol
I look up the trade and I see this standard cookie cutter headline that gave me a chuckle

Lol, poor guy

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.

>>68240013
3 team I guess but Royals look like dog shit
>>68240022
I think 4HBP. He got hit today. He's dodged so many though with that funny leg-kick flailing in the air thing he does. He just seems like a pitch magnet.
Did this happen a lot in years past?
>>68240028
I'm still sort of feeling it. That Texas sweep makes me feel shitty and I'd need another hot stretch to rebound from it.
I think we'll get there though. The defense is we're kind of banged up right now.
>>68240016
>>68240032
He hit 102.4 in that inning. He's also a fucking bean pole, 6'3 165

I don't want them to win any more the team is flawed as fuck, they need to sell and get this fucking farm system to be top tier in baseball instead of pretty okay.

That's impressively awful.
During this historically bad 6-20 stretch, 14 of the 20 losses were by 1-2 runs.
Of those 14, the White Sox actually led in 12 of them. Of those 12, the White Sox had a lead into the 7th inning and beyond in 9 of them.

Dear god, that must be heart-wrenchingly painful.
I'm loving every bit of Who's fans' misery.
The entire 115 history of the Chicago White Sox franchise has seen 21 position players pitch.
7 of those times, a whole 1/3, were under Robin Ventura's management when he took over just 4 years ago.
>>68242268

If you had a late first round pick and delvin perez was still available, would you take him? His draft stock plummeted after he tested positive for PEDs. Seems like an incredibly high risk but a chance at a potential top 10 pick. Seems interesting to be honest.

Please post more Whos misery facts. The shaudenfruede is delicious.
>>68242745
With the White Sox now at 29-30, if it holds, they will have a losing team for 4 years in a row.
>>68242941
Despite this Robin Ventura is still not fired yet. Which would make him the first manager of the team to have 4 consecutive losing seasons and keep his job.
>>68242976
I'm curious as to how this is Venturas fault? He can only do so much with what he's given. What decisions has he made that are costing the team games?
White Sox only had 15,273 (37.6% full) 'fans' show up to watch them get their teeth kicked in by the Neets.
I will now laugh that the Cubs rookie debut was able to produce, while the White Sox rookie got fucking shelled.
>>68243017
Too many to count.
Here's more schadenfreudistic facts
Bottom 5 AL managers by win% since 2012:
5. Terry Francona: .532*
4. John Ferrell: .514*
3. John Gibbons: .514*
2. Brad Ausmus: .508*
1. Robin Ventura: .458
* Denotes postseason appearance
>>68242355
Might as well be. You should have seen the back to back games against the royals where they were leading going into the ninth and gave up walk offs both times.
>>68243017
Bad bullpen management(5 pitcher innings much?)
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.
Baffling challenges and non challenges
Completely lost the locker room and respect of players
Cannot instill a winning attitude or passion for the team
Has orchestrated multiple collapses
And now multiply all that by 4 years.
Any more questions?
>>68243104
0.14% chance
Some one cursed the whos this year. This is dark magic in real life.
In his 16 years with the Chicago White Sox, Kenny Williams, then GM now executive vice president, has seen his club to a grand total of 2 postseasons.
2 postseason appearance in 16 years.
No other team in the history of the MLB has done this without a regime change or FO shuffling.
>>68243221
They also won a world series in that time frame.
The Chicago White Sox are currently on an 8 year playoff drought second only in the AL behind the Seattle Mariners 14 year drought who are now in first place in the AL West.
>>68243175
Out of the last 2500 games where where a team was down by 6 or more runs in the 9th. Only 4 have come back to win. That was 3 before the White Sux choked.
>>68243277

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

>>68246003
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.
>>68246106
Stop being such a cuckfag
>>68246205
Impossible with this team. We got cucked in back to back World Series appearances as well as every season after that. Last year we got cucked by the fucking BLUE JAYS and "le epic bat flip man". It is perfectly understandable to throw caution to the wind at this point.
>Correa is being checked on by the trainers after running out a grounder.
>He'll be taken out of the game. He's walking on his own to the dugout.
>whos DFA mat latos

>>68240428
He's actually got extremely good control for a power pitcher, senpai. He just has no movement.
>>68246258
you are acting like a cuck tbqh
>>68246267
He twisted his left ankle on the back of the bag when he ran through 1st base. It made me cringe when I watched it in slow motion but there's no telling if it's actually a serious sprain or not.
>>68246258

>>68243943
SS should be down to Crawford and Seager, senpai.
>>68246281
Good. He's had an ERA over 7 for his last 7 starts.
Machado got 4 games
>>68244650

>>68246304
fuck cruz
fuck him for missing a critical fly ball in the World Series
fuck him for getting caught up in the Biogenesis scandal and choosing to serve out a 50 game suspension with the Rangers, effectively leaving a gaping hole in our batting order for 1/3 of the season
fuck him for only learning how to field AFTER he leaves the Rangers to play for a rival team in the same division
Fuck Cruz
>>68246347
so if the punch doesn't land you only get half the time?
>>68246281
Good riddance to bad rubbish
>>68246347
Both of those fags deserve an 80 game suspension and a 50,000 fine.
>>68246304
apparently not good enough because he does the same shit here
>>68246359
He's a decent hitter and by far the best defensive SS in the league, senpai. He and Seager are neck and neck in WAR.
>>68246385
He's actually made some really good defensive plays in Seattle.
>>68246310
>living in the past
stay delusional
>>68246289
He has good "control" in that he throws strikes, I guess I meant he doesn't have good command. He kinda just pours it down the middle of the plate
>>68246397
I would have no issue with Crawford over fucking Addison Russel. He's an average shortstop. There's no chance he's even close to the names mentioned.

>Rush mound

>>68246397
I love Crawford but when you've got two guys on pace for about 35 home runs ahead of him I don't think he honestly really deserves it desu. Defense is obviously important and he's the best, but I don't know if it's enough. Even if he didn't make it this year he's still going to make other all star games in his career, I'm sure
>>68246484

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.
>>68246526
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.
>traded for shields
>Dfa'd Latos
>Signed Morneau
All while still playing sub .300 ball
Sigh...
>only 4 games for manny
Nice.
>>68246582
And thats living in the past like I said. We are discussing 2016.
>>68246596
Yea first place in their league isnt that dominant at all at the moment i guess. Cubs must just be an average team right now or something.
No need for you two to get defensive and spout past memes because the Rangers always show up your teams.
>Whos sign Justin Morneau to 1 year deal
>Put him on 15 day DL literally 40 seconds later
>whos unironically signed big game James
>Now they signed JUST mournno
Have the whos surpassed the dads yet as being the most depressing mlb team?
>>68246647
As I said, you brought up the past, not me. Sorry for not reminding you that every single post, I know the average Texan is too retarded to remember more then a sentence or two at a time.
>>68246662
REEEE THEY HAD A CHAMPIONSHIP 10 YEARS AGO THEY AREN'T ALLOWED TO BE UPSET REEEEE
>>68246662
No. Whos have been briefly relevant before. Whos also haven't had their FO publicly call the team an embarrassment.
Where are the Whos even going to play Morneau? Just as a pinch hitter?
>>68246647
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.
>>68246705
the DH is avisail garcia
the 1B is jose 'JUST' abreu
>>68246694
You guys are quieter yet more depressing team. It's impressive tbqh.
>>68246676
Just because i said theyve been one of the best teams the last 5-6 years isnt necessarily bringing up the past, thats just stating a fact on the overarching achievements made by the Rangers.
As it stands right now the Rangers are dominant and on track of winning their 3rd Pennant in 6 years.
>>68246721
Abreu might be coming out of it. Or he's just getting lucky, but either way he's producing the past few games.

>>68246694
>Whos also haven't had their FO publicly call the team an embarrassment
Well they are a complete embarassment now so maybe any day now
>>68246796
He brought up a time period, I referenced something that happened in that time period, lacking an actual relevant response he autistically bleats about how I shouldn't "bring up the past". Pretty straight forward here.
>>68246281
>keeping Ventura
>DFA'ing Latos
I miss the days when the A's were good.
>>68246848
I agree. He's just a retard lad
>>68246815
At this point they might be better off letting their pitchers hit. That's how bad their DH has been.
The White Sox make me laugh
Since starting the season 23-10, the White Sox are 6-20.
As bad as the Barves are, I thank god every day that I'm not a Who Sox fan.
>>68246772
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
>>68246920
Most depressing team in the league.
Last night the whos DH batted 9th is it any wonder why they signed Justin Morneau. Even the pitchers probably could have been better DHs.
w-wear the sox
Despite all this, Ventura is still not fired.
>>68246923
>The rangers bullpen is fine and has 2nd most saves in the AL
It also has 2nd most in losses, most overall runs AND earned runs, has the highest opponent's batting average, is in bottom 5 for strikeouts, and is near the top for walks.
Stop being delusional, it's literally the worst bullpen in the AL.
>>68238887
>their draft happens during the season
>>68246982
Like i said. Now adjust it when you take out Tolleson. The Rangers bullpen started out shit but has since turned into one of the best bullpens in the AL the past month
stay living in the past
probably migo's turn to face reality today also
>>68246986
who cares? why would that even matter
>>68247022

This day is only going to get worst with the draft coming as we watch in pain and anguish as Hahn aka Kenny picks another busted position player a la Courtney Hawkins or Jared Mitchell.

Why did I even want to have faith that something would finally be different this year? I just want to cry now and pretend none of this exists.

Almost all of the players who get picked in the draft go into their team's minor league system for several years to have their skills further developed and refined before they ever play in the Majors. You obviously have no idea how the farm system works in MLB.

ventura gets 9 games AKA 1
Ventura gets 9
>>68248161
>>68248181
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.
>>68248157
He might get a perfect game, anon.
>>68248161
>>68248181
>only 9 for a repeat offender
really stupid
Get that LaRoche kid to come pitch
>>68248367
Technically only misses 1 start, so it's basically a 1 game suspension.
desu /mlb/ senpaitachi i dislike beating up the astros ther like our little bros. i fukn love beating down on the angels n watch them struggle as a franchise fuck them n fuck mike trout
>>68248365
Yeah, but against the braves it should only count as a CGSO, MAYBE a no hitter.
>Pirates
>>68248451
Are you having a stroke?
>>68247816
I just remembered that chubby black guy that played 3rd for the yankees a couple of years ago.
Pirates getting BTFO'd right now. Feels so good.
>>68248474
Jose Pirela? Also on the Padres.

Pittsburgh outfielding.
Why can't draft picks be traded?
>>68248472
astros have never done anything why bully them?
>Sox signing a washed up Home Run Derby winner who didn't even deserve the award that year as their DH
They just need former members from the Indians and this Sox team is going to consist of Comedy Central rejects.
>Strasburg was drafted seven years ago
It feels like that happened yesterday. Jesus Christ.
>>68248587
Also didn't deserve to be MVP over Jeter in '06
maybe the angels can be good in 2020 if they pick wisely today :^)
>>68248587
you had Sands but you DFA'd him!
Why is Jack Z on my tv?

Sizemore deserved it more than both of them. Or Hafner since MVP voting is so strongly skewed towards offensive performance.
>>68248510
I remember Pirela but no. I was thinking of Zelous Wheeler.
>>68248659
He'll have a meeting with James Andrews soon enough.
>>68248664
It's been like that for me for the past few years. The fact that I played varsity baseball makes it worse.
get him pls mariners
>>68248566
Beats me. I honestly thought you could trade draft picks until today.
>>68248675
Oh fuck now I remember him too. Guy looked like a sun burnt Enrique Wilson.
YANKS PLEASE
I just want the Yankees to get a contact hitting 3rd basemen or outfielder.
Rumor is the Braves will draft Anderson at #3 and will throw money at Groome at #40.
College needs to witch to wood bats. Get those kids ready.
>>68248708
Yea, i had to look up Wheeler's name. I was confusing his name for another Yankee great, Zoilo Almonte.
>>68248743
Why do colleges use aluminum "bats?"
That catcher looks like he's 35, not a college Sr.
HEY ANON IT'S HAROLD HERE

>you will never be a high school kid on the verge of being drafted

Why does every league that isn't major or minor league baseball use aluminum """"""""""bats""""""""""
Reminder it doesnt really matter whonthe Rangers draft because their farm system is already elite
