Fuck you Francona you filthy piece of dog shit how anyone can defend this asshole is beyond me he's a fucking bum ass piece of cockfuck dicklicking cunt fuck him
>>68355577
Is it a "Francona viciously defends one of his superstars because he's been shit?"
Of all the things that he taught John Farrell and of all the things that I don't miss about him, this would be one of them
I hope Francona gets run over while riding his piece of fuck gay ass scooter and fucking dies that dumb cocksucker a piece of shit dangling from my ass hair could manager better than that monkey fuck crock of horse's ass
>>68355624
he defends the asshole every fucking game because he fucking sucks he's the worst pitcher in the bullpen but he uses him for everything he loves sucking his cock or something it's absolutely unfucking believable how bad it is and no one will call him out on his bullshit fuck the Cleveland sports media too fuck Lebron fuck
>>68355577
At the end of the day a manager has to expect his players to play, and unfortunately Shaw will always be good enough to doubt whether he'll shit the bed.
But look at the bright side, still number 1 in the division and you don't live in Chernobyl, USA
I can't fucking believe it that cocksucker Shaw gave up a hit to some faggot for his first hit of the year, then walks some faggot who only walked once all year, then fucking doesn't throw to second on a sac bunt when he had plenty of fucking time and then fucking blows the whole fucking game up like an asshole fuck him
>>68355675
Yeah, anon, he's never going to change he did that with us too.
He's always done that, coddle the big babby superstars that are ultra-sensitive to criticism. My guess is Bauer is one of the super sensitive types.
He's a good manager outside of that though, try not to hate him too much and remember to direct your true hatred at the player.
>>68355725
No this isn't about Bauer, Bauer was all alone the whole game and pitched great but had awful awful luck. It's about Bryan Shaw who isn't even close to being a star and isn't sensitive. There's absolutely no excuse for it.
That webm was because he was pissed at bloopers and broken bats that kept happening and lead to 2 runs
>>68354916
The who's are like the most depressing worst team to be a fan of in the league

>>68355725
Bauer was top notch really, the offense just didn't show up until late and relief pitcher Shaw shit the bed. Not sure why other Tribefriend is particularly pissed about it, though it is disappointing. Long season, and all that. Baseball's about winning series and not games anyway, still have the opportunity.

Good quality if you care
Hmmm let's take a quick look at the top 5 WHIP leaders in baseball:
1. Kershaw
2. John Lackey
3. Kyle Hendricks
4. Jake Arrieta
5. Jon Lester
It's literally (LITERALLY) an All-Star rotation.
>>68356200
>>68356190
thanks can't even get myself to watch the highlights to find it
>>68356140
You missed the part where he said:

>2-6
He literally said this lol. Freudian slip of the century desu
>>68356128
>W-we get to keep 1/5th of our pitching and some replacement level fielders, but at least our guys are hitting .250 in AA!
Well, I'm convinced. If you can defend your participation award this season, the dynasty will be in full effect.
Arrieta is fucking cheating isnt he? Does he know the biogenesis dude??
So who's worse guys the Twins or Braves? I'm tempted to say Twins after that gangbang they suffered today.
>>68356460

>>68356430

What's the record for most consecutive scoreless innings by a rookie pitcher?
>>68355869
Cubs
Also 1 strike away, Twice.

my guess is valenzuela for the dodgers
>>68356200
>lelster
>lucky
>who-the-fuck
>""""all-stars""""
>>68357394
Basically Cubs said 'fuck you' to the idea of drafting pitchers and grooming them which is what just about every baseball club does and just picked up a bunch of wash ups, had them do palates and now they're near elite.
>>68357274
Probably valenzuela.
A 8-0 w/ 5 shutouts to start his career and before that I think he didn't get scored on in like 20 innings as a reliever in 80 before he was moved to the rotation in 81.
>>68357455
didn't kimbrel get close to 40, 37-38 IP if i recall
>>68357445
Don't nobody want to see fucking Lackey and Hendricks or even fucking lelster take the mound as an all-star.
This is how the ASG pitching changes should go:
>Clayton for 3 innings
>Fernandez for the 4th
>Strasburg for the 5th
>bumshit for the 6th
>Syndershit for the 7th
>Cueto for the 8th
>Jansen for the SAVE
>>68357526
Scoreless innings? No way. Anything above 40 scoreless innings ranks ask top 10 all time. I do remember Kimbrel going like a month without getting scored as a rookie but not close to 40 innings.
Shout out to B.Webb btw realest nigga to ever live.
>Over his first eight starts in 2006, Verlander had a 5-3 record, allowed 18 earned runs, gave up six home runs and had a 3.18 ERA in 51 innings.
>Over his first eight starts for the Tigers, Fulmer has a 6-1 record, allowed 15 earned runs, gave up five home runs and has a 2.83 ERA in 47 2/3 innings.
>What about strikeouts? That’s where it gets surprising. Verlander had 27 strikeouts and 14 walks in his first eight starts of 2006, while Fulmer has 49 strikeouts and 16 walks.
GET ME KERSHAW'S NUMBERS NOW.
>>68357841
0-2, 19 ER, 3 HR, 4.42 ERA, 38 2/3 innings, 33 SO, 24 BB
Is it just me, or does anyone else think it's COMPLETELY RETARDED that something as important as world series home field advantage is decided in one meme game?
>>68357729
i'm reading 38 1/3, my mistake. what's fulmer at right now, 31 and change?
>>68357841
Kershaw looked shit in 2008.
He threw 98 but was getting lit up with that trash change up.
http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/gl.cgi?id=kershcl01&t=p&year=2008
>>68357942
He's at 22 1/3
Fucking Longoria hit a HR, he would have been at 28 1/3
>inb4 the Yankees rape him today
>>68357942
Idk I didn't even know Fulmer had a scoreless streak going. It only gets interesting once you get to 40 because that implies many starts of consistency and not just a 'hot' month. 30 innings is a lot though, why haven't I heard of it?
>>68358004
oh wow i was way off. i don't want to say anything but i'm concerned about his durability with his action, though i guess it works for him. his slider is fun to watch
>>68358012
i got a bit ahead of myself with the numbers, there's usually not much to look forward to when the tigers are pitching so i tend to get excited
>>68357935
I was actually just thinking this earlier. I like the idea of it because it gives importance to the game, and I'm not sure if I'm just imagining it but it seems like there might be a bit more urgency in the players
What I do hate, is if you're going to do that, there's no way it should be left to the dumbfuck average fan to decide who goes to the all star game. It should be the best players, no exception (except I do like that each team should have at least one player)
So I don't know, I kind of like it and I kind of don't
>>68357841
I couldn't really appreciate Verlander's triple crown season as I'm a white sox fan, but that really was one hell of a performance. I can say that when I get a chance I definitely watch Kershaw pitch this season, he's definitely having a special season and not doing "pilates" to get it done.
>>68358064
I completely agree with that as well. They do it in the most niggerish way possible too. 35 fucking votes per account or something like that?
4chan loves JV because he's into cuckolding with black bulls like most of us are as well. There's no doubt Katie keeps him locked in a chastity cage as well.

>Will still get swept in the NLCS by the jints
>>68358088
>35 fucking votes per account or something like that?
Yeah. This is why I haven't voted since I was like 10 years old. I'm not going to sit there and do that, I barely care enough to vote once and there's no way that would effect anything if there's people out there voting as many times as they can
I don't like that the game decides home field advantage by the way, because that is a big deal. I just wish there was another way to motivate players to play hard that was relevant to the league, but there really isn't anything else
>>68358278
The All Star Game should be a 7 year series starting next year. First one to 4 wins gets to force the other league into having or not having a DH.
Every 7 years this opportunity rises again for the leagues to duke it out for the rule.
>>68358352
>You will never watch le ziti man have to play 1B for 7 years, commit 500 errors, cost his team countless games, and slowly become the most hated man in Bombston
>>68358278
I'd hate to see the ASG turn into a big joke like the NBA ASG or the Probowl, but as it stands it just can't continue as it is. I'd be willing to see it turn into the stupid nigger festival that it is in those a fore mentioned leagues to end its corruption of the world series.
>literal autistic retarded people voting 35 times or more. You can just make a new MLB login and vote another 35 times, and again, and again.
>those same retarded people are not voting for the best players, they're voting for their favorite players or just select the people on "their team".
>this complete joke of a meme game decides who gets the absolute huge boon of home field in the most important contest of our beloved sport.
I fucking hate the Cubs. They will probably have the best record in the MLB this season. I don't think they'll make it past the NLCS yet again, but I'll really be rooting for the AL to win the ASG not only due to the off chance the shitty white sox would benefit from it if they somehow made the WS, but an AL victory would fuck over the Cubs if they somehow do win the NLCS. In a fucking season that lasts 6 months, the best team should be given every possible advantage in the playoffs...even if they are the cubs...
>>68358482
>yfw the 89 win seattle mariners make the WS and beat the 106 win cusb in 7 thanks to homefield advantage
ONE MORE FUCKING THING I HATE
the 5 game divisional series, again, 162 fucking game season that lasts 6 months, and the faggot MLB can't even have 2, 7 game series for the 4 teams that make the playoffs out of 15. The 5 game series is a fucking meme and needs to end as well.
Even apehoop where literally more than half of the fucking teams make the playoffs, every series is a best of 7. this is baseball, we're supposed to be better than that.
>>68358565
my dick would get hard, but it still isn't right.
Why doesn't anyone make diamondback memes
Why dont nobody talk about us man
God I can't wait for the Cubs to win it all just to hear the pitter patter of gunshots on the south side from the mass suicides it would cause. fuck, it pretty much keeps me going

Sorry man, it just doesn't look like it'll be your year, but you never know what can happen I guess. I'm a Giants fan and I'd rather have you guys in second place than the Dodgers. Arizona is just pretty isolated from the rest of the heavily populated country. The east coast doesn't care because you're in the west, and the Dbacks just haven't been competitive enough to really cause a stir :/ I'll be rooting for you against other NL west teams though, especially the Dodgers and Rockies. Fuck those guys
>>68358990
Agreed, I still think we're a decent enough team though, being literal whos is painful however.
Also chase field is trash. The stadium is nice, but it feels like there's just way too much shit for children. There's nothing wrong with having some stuff for kids, but chase field goes overboard
>>68358723
"THIS IS OUR YEAR !!!!"

You guys should definitely be doing better than you are right now. Never been to the stadium but it looks alright to me on t.v. but I don't know
>>68359128
Can you hear it? Those gunshots from a fanbase that this city doesn't even care about? When the most relevant Chicago sports team finally brings it home you will be washed away like so much filth nigger scum
>>68359200
Yeah we should, you can imagine the frustration from a fan.
I'm not digging the new uniforms though, I like stuff simple, I don't know why they need these new fancy designs.
>>68359213
>"WHEN WE WIN"
I love it. You will never win. The chicago's skyscrappers will never be lit up like this, you'll never have a world series parade. You'll just go on playing in your shitty "friendly confines" being the lovable losers, ALWAYS MUH NEXT YEAR, with your meme fanbase that ruined a guys life over trying to catch a foul ball as your team made 3 errors following said foul ball and then blew a g7 with your stud on the mount.
>>68359240
Those uniforms are truly dreadful m8. I don't know what they were thinking lol. I think it just looks even more ridiculous because no other is using that "modern" look anymore so they just stick out a lot. The one with the green coloring in the uniform is the worst in my opinion, that color scheme doesn't make any sense
>>68359322
>b-but muh regular season
>t-this year's different

>>68359326
Yeah, the ones they had before were perfectly fine. Maybe the logo on the front was a bit over designed, but other then that they worked.
The purple was a bit funky but at least it was different and stayed in line with most baseball uniforms. It'll always be my favorite
>>68359322
The inferiority complex you guys have is utterly intoxicating. It's like being surrounded by weak losers. And that is what you are. Weak, and losers. Even at the peak of your popularity you were always an afterthought. And now that the chickens have come home to roost in Wrigley you are forever relegated to your backseat. Enjoy your shitty team. You trash south side scum deserve it.
>>68359387
>inferior
just shows you're a pathetic, casual tier faggot fan
Yet, I'm the one that knows what it feels like when my team has won a world series.
-you don't know
-your dad doesn't know
-your grandfather doesn't know
-and if he was still alive, your great grandfather wouldn't know
Explain this as well, we're even better at beating you faggots in head to head matchups as well.
>>68359469
If you think the White Sox as currently constructed approach anywhere near the talent level of the Cubs you are more clueless than I thought possible. Fucking moron. History is now. Your team is garbage and barely a part of Chicago's consciousness. This is a Cubs town. And all the winning they are doing is proving that more than ever.
>>68359527
It doesn't matter how well built you are now. You won't win. You'll choke it away just as you always have done, your window will close, and you'll be back to being the lovable losers lol.
>MUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHATTTTTTTTTTTTTENDANCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

>>68359644

Your desperate prognostications reveal a deep insecurity. You can't even imagine a world where the Cubs are champions. It almost hurts you to think about it. When the parade is happening on the north side I will be happily waiting for your suicide note. Eat shit inferior team. You Chicago bottom feeders have had this coming
History is on my side. Think the Cubs havn't had a stacked team in the last 100 years and this year is something special? You're just a culture of choking and blaming others for your failures.
Nice win flag there, too bad you've never been alive to see it waving on the last game of the seasons and never will be lol.
>>68359736

You won't win. Anything can happen in a 5/7 game series. You get cold, they get hot. You lose. My team will meme past you in the series no matter what
>>68359859
This Cubs team has had such a hot start that they are being compared to some of the great teams of all time. It can definitely be argued that this is the best Cubs team ever. That means they have a chance. A chance is all a baseball fan can ask for. Belief comes from being a fan, and not a cynical insecure douchebag. Not that you anime posting faggots would know anything about being a real fan
>>68359372
I agree, people complained about them at the time but compared to these new ones they're actually not bad. Plus they were unique looking while still being simple

You'll have a better season than us, that's fine, but during this disgusting era under williams-hahn-ventura, I can take solace in remembering our world series title.

>>68360367

>>68360393
i have been a fan of your sport since game 162 2011. i was on a plane and watched the red sox lose and the rays win, it was incredible to experience on TV as an outsider
i had watched bits and pieces of games in the past but didn't know any players except for the obvious ones like jeter, a-rod etc. it now pretty much consumes my life, i'm always reading about it and watching old highlights.
i went to the dodgers-dbacks opening series in sydney and later in 2014 went to wrigley and comerica.
>>68359920
Because having the best regular season record sure worked out the last time
>>68360785
That's pretty cool lad. I've never really heard many stories like that of people getting into it later in life like that, but that's awesome. I grew up playing it my whole life and love it but I sometimes think what people who didn't grow up with it would think, and I could see why they wouldn't like it, but I'm glad people can get into it whenever
It really is the best and it's my favorite sport
>>68360939
my friends always ask me how i can like it so much even though i've never played (i've played cricket since i was 8) but i can't explain it. my falling in love with the game pretty much coincided with my falling out of love with cricket, even though i still play. i love talking about it, i love reading about all the old timers, all the records, i must have seen the ken burns documentary 5 or 6 times.

That little faggot, the disgusting queer fans of SF, and their little safety crusade ruined one of the most dramatic and badass plays you could see in a baseball game. Lots of guys got hurt in the 100 or so years the game was played that way, but he thought he was an exceptional little faggot that was important enough to change the way the game was played for a 100 years because he setup incorrectly and got fucking trucked, then cried like a bitch.
I actually would love to see him getting a career ending injury or die.There is no professional athlete I've ever actually wished death on before.
>AJ, one of the most hated guys in the MLB has been the target of take-outs at the plate for 16 or so years, yet no one has been badass enough to injure him. For one, he's not a bitch(like posey), and two he knew how setup to take the hit(unlike posey).

you're also a fucking retard if you don't think a catcher has a huge influence on how well a pitcher and the staff in general performs. I can tell you've never actually played the game in real life and had an awesome catcher that had a game plan, set pitches and locations which allowed the pitcher to just focus on execution.
I'm glad I was able to up your baseball knowledge this morning.

Buster Posey has caught more no hitters in 5 years than AJ has in 19...
>>68363946
Lots of catchers stick around for a long time as backups, starters for shitty teams, placeholders until prospects fully mature, or other reasons (because they're uppity pricks but the team has no one better to start). More than long enough to accumulate those kind of stats, especially the offense-friendly era he's mostly played in.
>>68364093
now that's a pretty cool factoid. that, and only Yogi Berra and Carlos Ruiz have caught no-hitters in the postseason.
>>68364339
Posey also caught a perfect game

It's about to get tied when the Cubs Sweep the sox this season.
Look on the bright side, Cubs fans will give you your only sold out games of the season. Your last home game only got 35% of the stadium filled, that's embarrassing.
I can't tell who's the worst whos fans, this piershitski fag or the ones who whine and cry the seasons over just because they hit a little bump.

Aussie here. Who should I believe?
>all these no-hitter stats
It's getting way easier to get NHs/PGs. Yeah, anyone can do it theoretically, but instead of one every one or two years now there's a huge panic when any pitcher goes 5 or 6 innings with a NH/PG going, and it's getting to be 3 or 4 a year.
tl;dr the increased frequency is diluting the "value", excitement, impressiveness, whatever you want to call it, of a no-hitter.
Just as an example, would you rather be Philip Humber, who actually got one but was and still is otherwise a nobody, or Pedro Martinez, who had about 6 games coming within an out or two in the ninth of getting one, including one with 17 Ks, but never had an official no-no? Not to mention that he technically threw 10 hitless innings once, but because of the rules re: NHs, doesn't get credit for that game.
>>68364925
exceptions do not invalidate rules
>>68365346

>>68365490

Is Fulmer-senpai the new Clemens, /mlb/?

Yeah, sure, get the pitchers. Why not the manager and coaches too? Hell let the bat boy step up to the plate while we're making a complete mockery of baseball
Have the woman who sings the national anthem bat first in the all star game
I say the pitchers can do the home run derby, on one condition.
They have to use aluminum bats.
>>68367097
It's the All-Star game, it's already a joke. Letting fans pick the lineups already ruined it, who gives a shit about the batting practice derby? Fuck it, no one's watching anyways let 'em all take some hacks.

I wake up and Francona hasn't been DFA'd and Shaw isn't fired wtf ?!?
Um yes let's keep using Shaw in high leverage situations and in the 8th inning it makes perfect sense boy I can't imagine anyone else Otero who?? Better keep using him in junk innings because he sucks he isn't like my buddy Shaw here! Yes I'm the best manager in the AL I won world series yes I'm so smart I know everything I forgot more baseball than anyone will ever know don't question how smart I am or I'll throw bubble gum at you Shaw is the greatest pitcher on the team boy he's even better than my old friends Nick Hagadone and Chris Perez so I'll keep using him cuz even when he struggles he's figuring it out and he'll be back soon like maybe in September when he's already blown 7 or 8 more games don't worry folks I have it all figured out cuz I'm so smart thank you

#FireVentura
Alright. So, our favorite lankyman Shohei Otani has decided (at least this year) to stop being a 100% ridiculous pitcher in order to be a pretty elite hitter.
Pitching stats:
11 GS, 78.2 IP, 2.63 ERA, 1.131 WHIP, 10.4 K/9, 3.03 K/BB
Hitting stats:
38 G, .343/.430/.686/1.116, 8 2B, 9 HR, 16 BB, 26 K
When he's not pitching, he plays RF or LF. He doesn't steal bases so he probably doesn't have the speed to play CF. Obviously, he has arm strength, throwing upper 90s and hitting 100 every now and then. In all, he's 6'3" and "189 lbs". Considering how lanky he his, who knows if the power translates into MLB.
Would you like to see this guy pitch and play OF for you?
>>68381338
We'll take anyone
>>68381338
Yankees could use a pitcher and hitter so why not kill two birds with one stone?
>>68377693
none of that matters when you fucking put in Bryan Shaw you fucking idiot how dense are you
>>68381338
Shitty memechanics will get his elbow
>score 1 run yesterday
>3(three) dingers today
>Michael Fulmer passes #Astros Will Harris for longest scoreless streak in MLB this year (26.2 IP). Harris' streak (26.1) ended last night.
>>68381583
Who?
>>68381603
If he gets injured, your team is down a starting pitcher and an outfielder.
>>68381962
But he throws 100MPH and will fuck your bitch.
>>68382885
Best thing is that he would only take up one roster spot though.
>>68382885
The White Sox are in dire need of an outfielder and an additional pitcher. The likes of JB Shuck, Avisail Garcia, or Jason Coats are not bats nor fielders and shouldn't be even on a Major League roster.
The rotation of a very troubling James Shields, Carlos Rodon, and still unsure about Miguel Gonzalez needs another solid starter.
>whos fans
>>68384804
White Sox 2016 first round draft pick Zack Burdi gave up a walk off grand slam to a freshman pinch hitter to cost his team a trip to the College World Series.
