***MLB TRIVIA***
Which AL West team with the initials TR and rhymes with Blexas Sangers is going to win the world series this year?
Royals
There will be no defeat of the Braves coming up.
>>68921927
So I'm guessing the jints go up by 8 games over the doyers tonight right?
Once the Rangers get bullpen pieces and maybe another Rotation arm before the deadline your ass in a world of painpain, rest of MLB

I would take literal piles of shit over the Dodgers lineup right now.
who /memeteam/ here
The Lastros have won 7 games in a row.
Now, this would be impressive, but there is a team, same division, same state, that have had the best record since May 1st, that effectively nullified this feat.
Which team is this?
>>68922094
>literally the only viable starter in this year's FA class
>adding to his injury history
Just making it more hilarious when some dumbfuck big market team gives him 8/200 minimum
>>68922108

This FOX guy is right, something I've felt for a long time. MLB should own Fourth of July, much like NBA owns Christmas day, NFL owns thanksgiving, and NHL is owning new years day now.

I honestly wish the dodgers never got the money in the first place. i would rather they be a broke shitty team than a rich shitty team because at least the broke team plays with heart.

Oh yeah, he signed that extension, forgot about that. Laugh at the Nashitnals then

Well, if their team and especially city wasn't so unlikable, maybe the insults wouldn't be as warranted.

The rest of the NL East is also kinda collapsing?
I think Giancarlo is gonna wake up and the Marlins are gonna make a run for it though
What's more frustrating?
>losing 1-0 because your pitching is stellar but your offense cant get more than 4 hits
>losing 8-7 because your guys can hit but your pitching spills spaghetti every inning
>>68922403
NL team? 1st one.
AL team? 2nd one.
>>68922403
I'd rather have good pitching than good hitting.
>>68922403
Both are the same and neither matter towards the overall season unless it happens in an elimination game
>Bottom of 7th
>2 chimp outs already by white players
So /sp/ will the doyers go for the chimp out hat trick or are they done for the day?
>>68922403
More infuriating to watch a starter throw a gem and get no support every time
>>68922375
Giancarlo doesn't give a fuck since he signed a 13 year deal. Mets cant into offense every other night. Phillies accepted their fate and at one time were like 8 games over .500. And the braves have been on life support since opening day.
>>68922403
Honestly I'd rather have good hitting. Good hitting usually means more players are doing well. If you have bad pitching, it could just mean one pitcher is stinking it up.
>doyers
>Altuve
Kek
Mlb trivia time:
Which team sucks so badly they have not had a championship ring in 28 years, paid 300 million for players the past few years and still cannot be a playoff contender team for the World Series and is named "The Dodgers?"
>>68922375
When they were dancing around above .500. Ozuna and others have been carrying the team. If they can keep the pace they're in, bring in Gordon and we could see Marlins NL East champs.
I've heard talks about getting another arm in the rotation. Apparently it's riding on cubs series (chance to win or tie) and the tigers series. First time I've been exciting over this team for a long while. Go Fish.
>>68922720
hmmmmmm
Id like to call a friend
Really makes ya think
>>68922726
That's right, I forgot that Dee Gordon is coming back.
Is he still gonna be as good without his pilates, though?
>>68922720
Uh...
Umm...
Fuck
The Long Island Ducks?
>>68922720
You can shit on the Dodgers as much as you want but they've definitely been 'contenders' the past few years
The problem is that they can't move beyond being contenders
>>68922831
Are you fucking kidding me? They limp their way to the playoffs each and every time. I'm a huge Dodger fan but I can tell when my team is a joke.
>>68922892
>I'm a huge Dodger fan
>no trip
>posting intelligently
I didn't see the double Altuve hit, anyone know if he could've possibly made it to third for the cycle?
>>68922762
I dunno. Depends on how long he's been doing pilates. However, Derek Deitrich (his replacement) is just below .300 so, it can go either way. Considering that if the Marlins do make a run. They'll have to use Derek instead of Gordon
Let deGrom pitch god damn it
>>68922955
He definitely would've made it if he didn't trip

Its based on the opponent. Mets threads generate like 10-20 of its own fans. But if were facing like the braves or marlins, we could go 1/2 the game without n opponent post.

No. Most IBBs only take like 30 seconds so it really wouldn't change anything.
And remember that KC/Sox game where the sox pitcher couldn't throw an IBB to save his life and it hurt his team? I don't want to get rid of that and make it easier on the pitcher.
>>68924659
Awful idea and only ADHD kiddies who don't watch anyway think the game needs to be sped up with gimmicks like this

Hey /mlb/. Got a list of current pitchers who may or may not have a shot at the Hall of Fame. Feel free to discuss, critique, shitpost, etc, but keep in mind the varied lengths of these guys' careers, and assume they keep up the current pace for at least another few years.

I think Kershit and Felix are the only two locks as far as pitchers go in the majors right now
>>68928036
we didnt steal shit, this """"""""offense"""""""" just shows up every 3 or 4 days and beats up on a shitty pitcher and then fucks off for a couple games afterwards while we piss away quality starts from our starters and hover around .500 untill we eventually collapse

>>68928126
I 100% agree, but he wont cause PEDs
>>68928109
Scherzer's got a big boost for his case with the 20-K game this year and the no-hitters, though.
As for Hamels, he had been the horse and ace for a Phillies team that, but for a short period of mercurial success with some great FA help, has been, well, the Phillies. The move to Texas has been a mixed bag, as was sort of expected, but he hasn't been outright bad, which is very important.
>>68928161
>Verlander
even though he's been all but useless since he threw his arm out for good and now it's only good for fingering Kate Upton?
>>68928179
verlander had as many complete games in 2012 than scherzer has in his entire career
scherzer is an adrenaline babby that has flashy games every once in a while but the other half of the time is hittable garbage
he's probably on amphetamines
>>68928032
If Felix can even be average as he finishes his career he gets in
>>68928204

>>68928032
Buehrle is in no way a HOFer. Not even close. You can't just be consistently good for several years, you have to have a period of absolute dominance in there as well.
>>68928263
>>68928293
like I said, Hall voters love >les no-hitters/perfect games, and he has always been the anchor of his rotation. Given he finishes with good enough numbers, he could get in the same way Blyleven did–by the SABR nerds kicking and screaming until the "traditionalists" caved, and he squeaked in.

>>OUTSIDE SHOTS
>Greinke
He's a soft lock. One of the best RHP of his generation, posted the lowest ERA of his generation, was never expected to be an ace starter. Won 2 cy youngs, 2 ERA titles, on both leagues. I see Greinke posting an ERA of ~3 over the next 4 seasons which should be enough.
>Verlander
I'm done trying to convince retards that he's a hall of famer. Eat shit.
>Lester
LMAO some good postseason performances but ultimately a 3.7ERA Pitcher. Not even looking at the numbers because that is who he is. I can also bet that his FIP is even higher than his ERA.

You completely browsed over Adam Wainwright and Cueto who would have won Cy Youngs if notfor Kershaw.
Bumshit needs to actually win some sort
of award. Fuck even a God Damn gold glove, something, all of these guys got cy youngs, ERA titles, strikeout titles, they all got something that they lead the league in for 7 months.

Because he's a false meme that was bad luck.* He left the game practically crying, hit up a Cubs game the next day (who then got swept by the Cards after), and went to Game 7 in Oakland and jinxed the Warriors.
I'm warning you - don't let that man in your ballpark or arena.

There are 10 pitching seasons in which a pitcher has a K/9 above 9.0, a BB/9 below 1.9, and an ERA- below 60.
Kershaw has 3 (2014, 2015, 2016)
Pedro has 3 (1999, 2000, 2002)
Randy has 1 (2004)
Arrieta has 1 (2015)
Syndergaard has 1 (2016)
Felix has 1 (2014)
>>68929490
he's been dead for months since he got a job lel
hence why people aren't posting every day about how bad of fans we are anymore

Couldn't have picked a better song myself. If they can win one off the Astros I will be happy. Hell I will take a starter making it 4 innings as long as they don't give up 5+ runs at this point. The starting rotation is so fucking streaky. The only consistent one is Kennedy. When Ventura's suspension ends hopefully he can get it together. His last start was what we need from him.
>L-10: 8-2
>>68929580
volquez lately for some reason takes an entire inning or two to figure out his release point or some shit. the start before his 12 run spaghetti start he loaded the bases with no outs in the first inning but lucked out and only gave up 1 run. he figured it out after that and didn't let anyone score again. i expect him to fix his issue and continue the rest of the season as a 3.5-4.00 ERA pitcher
chris young literally is a meme. the line between him being a literal batting practice pitcher and a le tall deception man is so small. i dont know if its some injury still or just him getting old and not being able to do whatever the fuck he does anymore.
danny duffy has been serviceable but I do think he belongs in the bullpen. his pen mentality has helped him keep things simple on the mound, but he is trying to be max scherzer without being max scherzer. his strikes thrown percentage is like top 3 in the league or majors afaik... but someone as mediocre as him cant get away with that every time. the opponent will either catch up to the ball and launch them 400 feet or foul off every pitch so much that he lasts 5 innings
ian "highest OPS allowed in 2015" kennedy is kind of regressing a bit back to what he should be after his bretty good start to the season. he is the definition of average so far this season and I don't really expect that to change much
ventura is ventura lel. he looks like he is back to being good but it literally could implode at any moment. when he is on his game he is without a doubt the best in the rotation by a mile though
>>68929651
>he has less than 2 cy young awards
Sorry Jake, we don't date losers.
>>68929226
That's Marlins Man you nigger. He knows all sorts of shit about baseball. Someone posted here that they met him on a subway train or some form of public transportation in New York during the last WS before a game. They said he was awesome and great to talk to about baseball. IDK what his prediction was as to who would win but I think he said he liked the Royals more as a team.
>>68929699
what trade package can you put together for the julio teheran sweepstakes in a few weeks
>>68929640
>>68929651
This is objectively true. No matter what, Arrieta is a professional athlete who is handsome while Kershaw looks worse than spongbob caveman. Arrieta wins at being A REAL MAN everytime.
>>68929686
Yeah, as much as people complain about country songs the phrase "One step forward and two steps back" really describes the royals this year. Its what, the 3rd time pushing their way back up to be tied with the royals or #1 in the division to fall back like 5 games?
Honestly as much as I want to hold onto the idea of the royals winning, the injuries really hurt and the Indians seem to finally hit that spot critics were predicting them to be in. Realistically I'm hoping for a wildcard berth. That's definitely in the royals range with how the starting rotation is,and injuries.
I will say though, the replacements brought in, Cuthbert, Merrifield, Butera have done a great job so far. Orlandos been pretty good too.
>>68929742
they are both like 6'4 and rich they dont need to be handsome
>>68929729
the farm is already pretty much kill after the deadline moves from last year, so I don't even know. our only good prospect is suspended for PEDs and everyone else is a literal who

>>68929745
Obviously the division race is far from over but either way I definitely can see you guys grabbing a Wild Card spot. The road record will even out over the season.
>>68929745
Fuck dude, Merrifield is a goddamn godsend.
Butera pitching in the game was funny though he did all right for a position player.
>>68929699
If Yost and Eiland want to keep Duffy as a SP he needs a 75-80 pitch hook. They keep leaving him in for the third time through the rotation and that seems to be the time he gets fucked up.
I won't hold my breath on Ventura. His last start was a show of his talent but as you said he could implode whenever. If he could learn from Pedro Martinez, he would be unstoppable.
Young pitches for HR derby 2016? Who is with me? Had plenty of practice with that 2nd inning yesterday. He sucks. His windup is so slow too.
I agree completely on Kennedy. He is the one consistent man in the rotation this season.
>>68929858
Thankfully Marlins Man hasn't shown up at the K. Not that it would matter with a 3/5 our starting rotation being JUST at the moment.
WC berth is likely but this post season should be a wild ride for everybody.
How can anyone find this man attractive?

both our starters are probably going to get absolutely fucking shelled within the first 3 innings and theres nothing we can do to stop it
>>68931166
>>68931275
Oh hi there.
Right in the middle eh? Tsk tsk... ;^)
>>68931275
Well as I mentioned earlier, 2/5 SP for the Royals are full on JUST. Young and Duffy need work on their mechanics and control.(Young is a lost cause though IMO as he is an old fuck that is set in his ways)
Ventura needs an attitude adjustment.
Volquez has trouble getting into the groove but once he is on his game he is 6-7 innings of good pitching.
Kennedy is starting today and should keep this next game with the Astros a good one. He is the one shining star in the rotation right now and even then his ERA is 4.19 and he is 5-6.
I wonder what Moore will try to offer for Teherán because the rotation needs work and badly. Not that I expect him to come to the Royals as he is probably going to fetch a massive price but the Glass family could open the the pocket book and surprise us all(not bloody likely)

Meant to add that Garza while injury prone seems like the less shit of the two. So if Moore had to pick one I would assume him.
>>68932186
bud norris has actually been lighting it up the last month and a half ever since his little adventure to the bullpen where the barves told him to stop throwing his awful curve and change and just throw his fastball/slider/cutter mix.
>>68932186
How the fuck did we squeeze the one good year out of Norris? Including shutting down the Tigers in ALDS game 3?
Really. How?
>>68932286
Yeah, honestly I don't know a whole lot about either of them past what I can look up from a stats perspective. I don't follow much more than the teams in my teams division and the big names in the rest of the league.
I can only hope Yost, Eilend, Moore and the rest of the FO make the decisions needed to keep the Royals at least in contention for a WC slot.
>>68932317
I have no idea man. Looking at his stats he is a .400+ ERA pitcher. We don't need another one of those.
>>68932317
because the Os pitching coaches didn't have enough time to break him. they solved that problem in the next year.

You can only post in this thread if your city's baseball team gets talked about more than your city's WNBA team

which astro will be 1 hit shy of the cycle tonight? my money is on Correa
>>68937679
You do know Kennedy is not going to fuck up like Volquez and Young right? Volquez is a finicky pitcher that takes an inning to get into the groove. Catch him like they did and he will get shelled. Young is getting old and loosing speed and control. He did the same thing in his last start. It wasn't pretty either.
All I did was respond in kind. Since when has the previous season's events not been relevant? Especially in a very good series between the two teams.
If you are up for a civil discussion on the pitching match up of the game today then okay. If not then kindly fuck off.

never have they been relevant
>>68937679
Correa is 0-3 against Kennedy. The only ones that need to be watched are Rasmus and Gomez. the rest are .200 or less against him.
Saving /mlb/
My image when the lastros collapstros consider two (two) games in the regular season as more important than LITERALLY surrendering their one chance at the trophy
It's happening in this very thread
Can't make it up
Boston
Apologize
Right now
>>68940495
Nobody cares about the boring ass National League, you are the AFC of baseball.
Apologize now Boston.

Why it's not decat.png I'll never know
I thought that was the confirmed meme combo breaker
>>68941241
Because decat is for postseason rallies and first post in new threads.
>bumshit is good
>bumshit is a cy young candidate
>bumshit is a top pitcher
jajaja what a choke job.
Cant wait for this Nigga to get lit up so that this meme dies.
>>68941717
I don't get it. What is this picture supposed to illustrate?
>>68941622
Yeah. And wasn't decat part of the ALDS rally? I thought I saw a pic that showed it was.
It's a unique signature to go with that rare Sipp, even if that anon is a fagbutt
>>68942145
His own insecurity
>>68941717
Madison Bumgarner is a lock for the Cy Young Award and all the BUTT HURT memeing in the world can't change that very real and true fact.
>>68942188
It was. That and it has already been posted in this thread here >>68921985
>>68942279
Memes aside Bumgarner will never get a Cy Young if he stays in the NL
>>68942409
he would be mediocre at best in the AL
>>68942409
So like 95% of pitchers?
Why does everyone shit all over bumgarner? Besides Kershaw and Arrieta who is better?

Jealousy. They just hate the Giants in general
>>68942372
Then why not use decat in >>68940064

Frok is smuk but decat feels more royals to me than anything else
