PIRATES GET THE CUBS' HUGE DICK DOWN THEIR THROAT AGAIN
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."
The Pie Rats dedicate this song to Jake "Daddy" Arrieta:

I think that's advantageous to them. Meme magic transcends the meme itself causing a meme implosion. Much like a star dying, the ultimate meme imploding will spew numerous smaller memes across the galaxy in a spectacular display. Maximum rioting in Chicago will coincide with maximum shitposting in a dichotomy of memes that overloads the human consciousnesses quite possibly ending life as we know it

Yeah the Dodgers will go on streaks now and again, so will the Giants. That's how the season goes
The Giants get 40% of their starts from two of the best pitchers in baseball. If the rest of the rotation can carry its weight they'll win 95+ games and win the division

I don't follow soccer. Wasn't an option growing up where I did. Basically, if you played any other sport besides football, you were basically considered a pussy and a weirdo. Playing all 3 (baseball, basketball, football) was acceptable, just as long as you did well on the field in the fall. One of those places where parents will sacrifice their own child's education for the chance to win a state title.

How easy is it too be an MLB scout?
After the whole Shields fiasco with how he was still traded for despite showing obvious signs of decline and terribleness, I'm wondering how pro level scouts do their job and if I can say do a better one.
I mean come on, someone was actually paid a bunch of money and said that James Shields looked good despite giving up 10 runs in his last start before the trade. Not to mention he's had a horrible season with the padres to that date and even gave up a home run to Bartolo Colon. What the fuck are the scouts doing and how the fuck did the GM buy into it?
>>68757058
http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/james-shields-has-been-messed-up-for-a-while/
Some basement dwelling faggot practically writes a dissertation on how Shields has been shit for a while.
And somehow the White Sox scouting staff and GM team of professionals can't see any of this and still signed him.
This is beyond messed up.

You're missing an extra number next to that #7
That #6 pitcher is just a master troll who will give up 6 runs in three consecutive starts, then throw a complete game shutout. It's why he somehow made an All-Star team.

>>68767930
Statisticly speaking they are almost identical at the plate. Hosmer has a higher BA where Miggy has a higger OBP and SLG. Sone of that can attributed to Hosmer being walked to get to GIDP man Morales. On the field Hosmer is overall better than Miggy. He is also younger and more athletic.

>>68769429
Which makes no sense considering hosmer has multiple gold gloves and is a premier defender.
>>68769633
Maybe, maybe not. Defensive metrics are finicky, but I still trust them over the eye test. At the very least, he's closer to a bad defender than he is to a gold glove defender.

Mets and Cardinals are good dark horses since the Mets could simply do what they did last year and win a shit ton of games in the second half. I think the Blue Jays will also do that. The Mets need to fire their hitting coach and call up their prospects and the Blue Jays should trade for pitching.
Cardinals I could see being a dark horse but also possibly selling at the deadline and making some smart trades.
The Doyers are fucked to be honest and the Injuns look pretty good but they're kind of a weaksauce team, like the Pierats. I don't think they really know how to win.

HOLY FUCK, SOMEONE KNOCK SOME SENSE INTO THIS DELUSIONAL FUCK
>>68770129
The Royals are a team that defy statistics. They are good despite the sabermetrics saying they should be a sub .400 team or lower. His gold gloves are a testament to the fact that to most people the eye test is better than a finicky stat.
>>68770658
No one going into 2015 expected the Cubs to be as good as they were, so before the Allstar break no one said much about them. This year however, they're breaking records that haven't been seen since 'm-muh 1908' so unless you're a pie rats or tardinals fan, you're just delusional
>>68773023

Gold Gloves are voted on by managers, not "most people." Hosmer gets them for his ability to catch the ball. The metrics hate him because his range is terrible.
