Honestly, why did you doubt them in the Offseason /mlb/?
>>68575975
I hope Ichiro retires soon.
So I can see him in the HOF before I die.
I am probably gonna die in the not distant future.
>>68576940
I hope he coaches somehow.
He's got some bantz in him (English and Spanish from stories) and he's got that sort of charisma.

>>68588128
>>the white sox have won only 2 series in a month
you're literally making my point for me here pal
>>68587778
You can't force him to go to another team. The dodgers and mariners have two important japanese players in Nomo and Ichiro in their history. Maybe those other teams should have looked towards Japanese players in the past to establish a culture there. They will likely look to emulate their national and childhood heroes.
It also helps that the cities have a jpn population.

To be fair, the bullpen was pretty damn great (with the exception of Hunter Strickland of course) and based Rembrandt even got the win in game 7.
>>68577806
because hes a vassal manager
the real manager is Friedman and the moneyball crew in the front office
>>68589259
That bullpen will never be back again ;_;
>>68588799
Castro deal was as much about freeing up money for Zobrist as it was acquiring Adam Warren
>>68589268
You mean Friedman the Jew and having Roberts around like a slave manager to do his bidding
>>68589321
>Lopez old and terrible
>Casilla nearly leading the league in blown saves
>Affeldt retired
>Romo hurt and has horrific platoon splits when he's healthy
Remember when the core four were the most stable and effective bullpen in baseball for like half a decade?
>>68584405
im okay with this
honor and glory
>>68589258
if you were going to do 2 divisions, this is how it'd have to work
but the Cubs, Brewers, Cardinals, and Twins are at a disadvantage for having to make so many West Coast flights

Which is exactly why it'll never work.

>#Cubs Arrieta's ERA now 1.74 after 6 IP, 2 H 0 R, 3 BB, 11 Ks today (Kershaw at 1.58 ERA)
Which division do you think has the best stadiums overall?
I think the NL Central has a strong case. Wrigley and PNC are both awesome in different ways and I also think Busch and Great American Ballpark are extremely underrated. And I don't think Miller Park is anything special really but there's nothing negative I can think about it
I don't see how you could pick another one honestly. My team isn't in this division by the way
>>68594669
>Wrigley
>awesome
>>68594669
NL West has AT&T, Coors, and Petco, which are all top-tier modern parks, and Dodger Stadium, which is a very very good traditional park that isn't decrepit like Wrigley or Fenway in some parts. Chase is unremarkable (like Miller Park for you) but probably still top 15.
>>68595184
>Dodger Stadium
>traditional
>>68595257
3rd oldest park in baseball I believe
>Pirates outfielding
>>68594669
Probably the NL west. Dodger stadium has a beautiful view with crazy sky's and it's HUGE. AT&T is tiny but has good food and has its own atmosphere you could distinguish from television. Coors is nothing special while Chase looks average in television it's pretty nice with the water park and stuff.
>>68595283
yeah, but still 50 years older than Fenway
it looks nothing like Wrigley, Fenway, Ebbits, Polo Grounds, and all those stadiums built prior to the 1920s
>>68595392
>it's old
>but not that old
>it's not trash like fenway and wrigley so it can't be traditional
>even if the pirates make the wildcard they will have to go up against either kershaw or syndergaarde
>>68595392
>ebbits
First of all its EBBETS and it doesn't fucking exist anymore.
None of the three stadiums in the Polo grounds exist either.
>>68589123
(You)
>>68587778
Rangers currently have the best Japanese pitcher to ever live to I don't see what your point is
>>68595392
I'm not really defending it honestly. I've been there and it's not even a good stadium. I'd say it's slightly below average
These people saying NL West are extremely biased and have no idea what they're talking about. AT&T is amazing and probably the best in baseball. Petco is the most overrated stadium in baseball. Coors is a meme. Chase is okay but unremarkable. Dodgers stadium is average, and that's only because of the history. On its own it's below average
I'm a Giants fan too, but NL Central parks are the best overall. I'd say that it has 4 stadiums in the top 15 easily, and possibly the top 10. PNC is also neck and neck with AT&T when it comes to being the best Stadium
>>68589924
TJS is a such a meme stat to judge pitchers with.

>>68595982
pretty sure it was a joke bro
>>68595348
>Coors is nothing special
Visit first, then talk. It's breathtaking, more so than Dodger Stadium.
>>68595877
>I'm a jints fan
>I think every stadium in the division is overrated except for my home Park which is beautiful and the best in everyday.
>I especially don't like dodger stadium and think it's below average
>>68596009
sorry i come from a small town where humour is frowned upon
>>68596013
of course coors is breathtaking. its a mile above sea level. its harder to breathe when the air is thinner
>>68596052
this lol
i've been to petco, it's hella comfy and a really nice looking ballpark
at&t is probably the ballpark most overrated by its own fans tbqh
>>68595457
It's gotta be "that old" to be traditional in the sense that Wrigley and Fenway are
Let me list some characteristics of Traditional Ballparks, some call them Classic Era, others call them Jewel Box ballparks
>irregularly shaped outfields, often constrained by city streets (Dodger Stadium has a regular symmetrical outfield confined by only a parking lot )
>often have small, confined capacities, rarely greater than 40,000 (Dodger Stadium seats in excess of 50,000)
>support beams and two decks at maximum (not including a mezzanine) because of the architectural limitations of the era (Dodger Stadium has no support beams and four decks)
tl;dr, the "trashiness" of Wrigley and Fenway is part of what puts them in a different class than Dodger Stadium
here's a good link if you want to learn more about the different era's of baseball stadiums
http://www.andrewclem.com/Baseball/Stadiums_by_class.html
>>68595877
Dodger stadium is pretty amazing. I sat both field and bleeders in the same weekend and I might have enjoyed the bleeders more because of the view. The sky was pink with streaks of red and purple. Amazing. I'm from New York and this is what New Yankee stadium should have been. It's large in capacity and has no bad views.
>>68596052
Dude, I've been to Dodgers stadium. It was a cool experience but there's nothing special about it. Honestly, it's just okay. There's nothing wrong with it really
I don't understand the hype about Petco, but it's a nice stadium
Coors is nice looking, but I don't know, just feels kind of gimmicky for some reason. Partly because of the thin air and ridiculous offense. Still nice though
Chase is perfectly average
I'd put the NL West second after the NL central probably though. Maybe I was a bit harsh on it but that was just to emphasize my opinion
>>68596304
>backpedal after someone calls you out
hahahahaha
>>68596394
Yeah, I guess ...so what? I didn't really expand on my opinions at first and just summed it real quick. What's the problem? I said the same thing just with more info
>>68596304
You called Dodger stadium "below average". LA might be a spic infested town but Dodger stadium is a legit top 5 ballpark in America. I've been to AT&T and it's special but there is so many gimmicks and unrelated baseball activities that take up that Park. It's more of a fair/park.
>>68589258
>Chicago
>st louis
>minnesota
>west
>>68596604
I said it was average, which I think it is. I'm saying if it was built today and didn't have the history surrounding it I would consider it slightly below average. But you can't separate the park from its history. That doesn't mean there's anything necessarily wrong with it, there's just lots of great ballparks that have been built
I can understand somebody not thinking AT&T is the best, but I obviously am a bit biased and love it. I actually think PNC might be slightly better if I'm being honest. The skyline, bridge, and river in the background is amazing
>>68596304
Yeah dude Coors field fucking sucks because of the meme offence. Remember when the Rockies scored 13 runs in 1 inning at Coors field?
What a fucking meme.
Totally a meme ballpark.
>>68596604
>LA Thinks this is good stadium design
>>68575975

How would playoffs for that even work
>>68598125
flat lined since day one, this thing never bought into that fluky stretch they rose to tied for 2nd place in the East
>>68598195
4 division winners, no wild cards
or you could do what the NFL does
>>68598202
Why it buy into the whos then?
Who the fuck writes this crap?
>>68598202
I can't wait for things to start going wrong in Washington.
That team literally cannot handle adversity of any kind. It's all well and good when all of your injury prone players are healthy and Stranglebon is quarantined to the DL so he can't blow games.
>>68598242
The White Sox were actually winning for real at one point. The Phillies just pulled off a stretch of one run wins, many in games they probably didn't deserve to win
>>68598242
because you're retarded
the whos are still at .500, they don't play in a division with two great teams or even one great team if you don't buy the mets, and the whos didn't win 20 1 run games while getting blown out in their losses
>>68598202
How much longer until things turn south for the mest? I'm highly anticipating the blown out arms and general mesting everywhere.
>>68598195
There would be 8 division winners. 8 playoff teams. Simple
Or you could do like the NFL and have 2 wild cards from each league too, but nah, just have each division winner make the playoffs
>>68598300
given the fact that d'arnaud and duda are both coming back within the next month, I think they'll only get better
even colon has a fucking 3.01 ERA, the pitching is legit
>>68598260
>>68598242
I should not that that is SLIGHTLY accounted for, as the rose from 0.0% to 0.4% as recently as May 20, then back to 0.0% now
but the system knew they wouldn't sustain it
tell me about danny valencia A's fans
is he as good as his batting average suggests?
Here are all 30 teams odds to win the World Series
Cubs are "favorites" at 18.6%, followed by the Red Sox (12.5%), Nationals (11.3%), Giants (8.8%), and Indians (8.65)

Are you implying Tim was even close to what Kershaw has been?
>muh rings
I understand that but this is world series projections.
>>68598844
That honestly shouldn't be true when evaluating playoff percentages though
Having one good pitcher at most means you win one in five games
>>68598925
Well if you pitch game 1 you can pitch game 5 on short rest. Happens all the time. Greinke did it lastyear.
>>68598822
>i can't tell if they're just underperforming as a team or legitamite non contenders desu
they have severely underperformed. Their offence is so bad but their bullpen is the best of the NL (look it up) and SP has been shit. It's crazy how valuable Kershaw is to this team.
>>68598925
Most teams go with a 3 man rotation in the playoffs and beef up the bullpen.
I'm gonna post it again just to make sure Shittsburgh fans see this and get the message real fucking clear:
Pirates need to call Snake their fucking daddy. How many times have they been assraped by him already? It's like they willingly allow it.
You'll dwarfs don't even scare Snake Scarrieta.
It's a real shame that our homeboy stopped posting the "Daily reminder that the Pirates willingly placed their entire 2014 season in the hands of Edinson Volquez by starting him in the 2014 NL Wild Card game."
Same thing goes for "Daily reminder that the Pirates willingly placed their entire 2015 season in the hands of Gerrit Cole by starting him in the 2015 NL Wild Card game."

you cant make this shit up
>>68599109
fuck i messed it up after correcting you lol
yes, kershaw started 1 and 4, greinke 2 and 5
>>68599099
Lincecum at his peak is 30% less dominant than Kershaw average performance over the past 4 years. I read that in an article somewhere. Something crazy like Verlander/Felix/Lincecum ay their peak do not exceed what Kershaw's AVERAGE performances have been over the past few seasons.
Lincecum was bigger than Kersh in 2008 and 2009 but he can't even sniff what Kershaw has done for LA.

You are the only one comparing Lincecum and Kershaw. I am simply
>stating outright that Lincecum, at his peak, was the best pitcher in baseball even when the Giants were shit.
Because you, or some other dumb fucking canucklehead, made the following irrational bullshit claim:
>When you have the best pitcher in baseball youre always ranked high.
Mariners @ Red Sox.
3 pitches into the game and it's 2-0 Mariners.

The hats are pretty dope too. The early Rays jersey/color scheme was super underrated imo.
You now remember Magglio Ordonez
>>68599250
You're taking to at least two different people and to be clear, Kershaw is an all-time greatest pitcher if not THE greatest pitcher to ever live. His numbers are so far and away better than ANY player that he's that good.
Calling him the best player in baseball isn't enough.
I hope you could understand why you're wrong now.
>"We are grateful for and proud of the region's response to our Pride Night dedication," said Rays president Brian Auld.

My only point is that having "the best pitcher in baseball" isn't enough to make you WS favorites. That is the only thing I have said in this thread.
Attack it from any angle you like, but don't pretend I'm claiming anything else just to feel better about defending that nonsense.

>the best pitcher in baseball" isn't enough to make you WS favorites.
It is wheb the team is underperforming to this degree. I was only trying to make you realize that licecum in 2008 (the best pitcher in baseball) is not even close to being near as dominant as what the best pitcher in baseball is in 2016.
>>68599635
your best bet is probably mets-braves, nats-dads, or maybe rangers-cardinals
>>68599683
But who was even claiming otherwise? I realize that Kershawfags like to ride his nuts even when it's completely off-topic, but you're really reaching here.

Sorry, but those hits in the Japanese league do not mean anything. A rando off this board that played in a good college program could be good in the Japanese league. Ichiro is based as fuck though and possibly could have done it of he would have played his entire career in the MLB
>>68599720
I think I'll kill myself if he doesn't set the record tonight
>>68599742
for the last fucking time, no one actually thinks ichiro should have the MLB hits record now
it's just an interesting thing that happened
>>68599735
What exactly did you find wrong with that post?
>>68599742
You can't underestimate the NPB just because it isn't MLB-level. AAAA is still pretty damn good. Shit, playing in AA still means you're close to being among the best in the world, at a better-than-college level.
>>68599796
I found it fucking wrong that you didn't just flat out say Kershaw IS the greatest of all time. I was trolling you but I know and we all know how great Kershaw is.
>>68599770
what record is he gunning for tonight? the tigers rookie record?
>>68599867
1 (one) out to tie
>>68599742
>A rando off this board that played in a good college program could be good in the Japanese league.
Yea, you clearly don't know shit about college or Japanese baseball
>>68599867
He has to duplicate his streak and and throw 3 more to actually break the real record so it literally does not matter.
Is Kershaw actually gonna win MVP or is that a meme?
Someone tell me how much of a chance my boy Kris Bryant has to win MVP because he definitely should over some pitcher.

.375 wOBA, 140 wRC+, ~3.2 fWAR.
So, what do we make of him?

>Lincecum was the best pitcher in the league, and the Giants were terrible. You were bringing up a different argument about whether Lincecum or Kershaw was better, which wasn't what the discussion was about
You are implying that the Dodgers shouldn't be contenders solely because of Kershaw. This is what you said.
And you used Lincecum in 08 as an example as to why LA shouldn't be contenders. This is what you said.
If 2008 SF with the best pitcher in baseball weren't contenders then why should 2016 LA be contenders with Kershaw. This is what you're saying.
What you do not understand is that Kershaw is more than just the best pitcher in baseball. He is so far and away better than anyone that they are winning all his starts even if he isn't the pitcher of record. This isn't even the reason they are still contending while on a slump. The reason why nobody can count them out is because the Giants are notorious regular season chokers who can't hold a division lead.
The SF Giants had the best record in baseball pre-ASG and had 10 games a over LA.
LA went on to win 45 of their last 50 and took the division from SF who collapsed harder than the world trade center.
I hope that finally now you can understand why :
2008 SF =/= 2016 Dodgers
2008 Lincecum =/= 2017 Kershaw
Thanks.
>>68598202
>a flat line

>>68602192
はい
Dodgers are contenders because they got another major league team in the minors and and 6 all-stars on the team that are all slumping at once. Not to mention their pitching outside of Kershaw and Maeda is questionable every night.
>>68602213
And in 2015 the SF Giants took first place in the National League West for exactly 0 days and 0 seconds.
>>68602355
False, they shared first place for something like a day.
kershaw has done nothing for the dodgers

>>68575975
My opinion may be very unpopular, but I don't like the fact that so many pitchers today can only go 6-7 innings. 6 solid innings does not impress me as a start. If you can go 7 innings, I'll consider. If you can go 8-9 innings, then I'm impressed. I want more complete games, dammit.

I would put any combo of Vikings, Lions, Falcons, and Eagles as more pathetic than the browns and that is just counting the NFC

I get that he wears the Marlins jersey for every sporting event but he had to have known how some might react to it after 1997.
I also know that there were fans who went out of their way to hangout with him at the District bar, and that there's plenty of ushers/ballpark workers around if he really had an issue.

look at this shit though so much TBD and possibly all those pitchers havnt pitched in a year and they expect them to come back and be back at 100% from the get go like that's delusional
Well unlimited payroll makes them able to take on bad contracts to get prospects and unlimited international spending kinda does that so it's not that impressive honestly, from the outside if the Yankees were smart they'd would have been doing this since the 90s when they didn't have a cap to worry about. But nobody believed in international prospects yet

I think Ichiro could've been a lot better than he was.
He had the swing and the ability to hit for more power, at least for doubles, he wasn't even a good doubles hitter, using that damn slap swing for singles instead. With his speed and bat skills he should have been a doubles hitter easily. Sure he wouldn't have had 3000 hits but he'd have been so much better. I think he could have had biggio to molitor like offensive numbers, plus great defense on top of that.
still a first ballot hall of famer though. and better than rose

If it weren't for the Packers in 2010 I wouldn't know what success looked like and even then it was only fleeting. I barely remember 1997, I was 5.

Dude considering like 7 super bowls were won by the Steelers and Patriots during that time frame there are only like 10 teams total that have seen a super bowl during that time.
There is what (top of my head guess) 10 franchises that still haven't won a super bowl?
Vikings, Lions, Chargers, Eagles, Falcons, Bills, Dolphins, Browns, Bengals? etc
>>68607817
who is this gorgeous example of a fertile woman?
>>68607762
you're lucky you've got a saving grace in the Packers (even if they do disappoint in the playoffs every year except 2010)

definitely. I know being a Packers fan alone makes me pretty lucky considering. But 2002 still hurts more than anything else in sports to me, that fucking team was my favorite ever in any sport
>>68607905
>Vikings, Lions, Chargers, Eagles, Falcons, Bills, Dolphins, Browns, Bengals? etc
you forgot the Panthers. talking about this past SB will be the only time I was hoping with every bit of me that the Broncos (and by extension Peyton Manning) would win and vanquish the Panther casuals.

Thank you based broncos for what you did to the insufferable panthers. They literally would have been seahawks 2.0 in terms of insufferable retarded fanbase if they won

Fuck you football's cool but baseball is better and also it's baseball season and also the baseball thread.
I FUCKING DID IT LADS
Damn I can't wait until Friedman gets Miller and Chapman so we get hand teams Ls left and right. This rotation is so fucking elite haha. We have the MVP, Cy Young, and ROTY pitching on our team and a top five MVP guy in Seager.
Better prepare yourselves for the Dodgers becoming unstoppable because its fucking happening bitches.

>>68608131
You drafted all the prospects you actually need famalam. You need league ready players if you want to compete this season.
You need a catcher, take Joesph and some kids. Caleb might need change of scenery to break his funk, and he's already familiar with MiGo. Can't be any worse than Donuts or Avila.
