This will never not be unfunny.
>>69254212
I seriously don't understand why the old players who constantly bitch about the integrity of the game aren't all over Rodney for his hat. Is it because he's black and they don't want to make it a racial incident? He is 100% disrespecting the game by wearing his cap like that.
>>69254254
Not to mention he looks absolutely ridiculous.
>>69254254
What is disrespectful about the angle of a hat?
>Junior Guerra is 6-1 with a 2.93 ERA
Have we discovered Arrieta's pilates apprentice?
>>69254254
What about Cespedes with the sleeve or Giancarlo with the custom G faceguard
>>69254270
I thought he was suspended for PEDs already
Batting Alex Gordon lead off right now might be the biggest wtf Yost has ever done
>>69254240
Just like your life you literal faggot
>>69254288
Varied sleeve lengths and colors are approved by MLB rules and Stantons mask is protective equipment, not a style choice. While the positioning of caps is not explicitly mentioned in the rules, besides the above sleeve exemption, all uniforms must be identical otherwise, and wearing your cap backwards or sideways has always been seen as disrespectful and in violation of this rule.
>>69254288
>Stanton
he doesn't want to get clocked in the face again. Jason Heyward wears a similar helmet iirc.
>>69254382
Who else though? There's not much he has to work with. I mean I guess he could use Dyson because muh speed but he needs to actually get on base in order for that to matter.
>>69254395
>wearing your cap backwards has always been seen as disrespectful
except if you're Ken Griffey, Jr.
>>69254288
You would have to be some kind of heartless to ding Stanton after the way he got beaned, man.
>>69254423
did he ever wear it backwards during a game? on the field not in the dugout between innings
Apologize
Mets tbqh
Why do we keep losing to sub par competition?
>>69254403
Whit Merrifield
so what cuck team will hire mattingly after the marlels regress to the mean and he fails spectacularly again? or is he done after this upcoming failure?
>>69254488
>sub par team surprised losing to other sub par teams
Idk what to tell you m8
>>69254488
because
>rags
also because your team is a meme and not actually good at baseball
>>69254493
The Marlins are in contention for the wildcard tho
>>69254493
Marlins arent far away from being serious contenders. They have great starting 8, 1 stud pitcher, but the rest of the team is just utterly bad. They need to fill in some gaps and they can be contenders in no less than 2 years.
>blow gays offense in charge of being competent
i fucking knew it, these faggots are going to get swept by KC and score maybe 1 or 2 runs a game against a full JUST mode royals starting rotation, fall 2 or 3 games back and then win another blowout and our dumbass fans will be all smug and happy fuck this team
FIRESALE FUCKING WHEN
>>69254526
Anon did say after they regress.
My guess would be Atlanta
>>69254526
>>69254542
but mattingly is crashing this team with no survivors
>>69254546
>Currently winning
Leafs are the worst, even whosfags stopped complaining.
>>69253823
Ayyyy
>>69254394
What a shitty comeback. What a salty bitch
Let's make a list of all the teams with at least 53 wins
>>69254526
>potential NL wild card starters this year
>Bumgarner, Kershaw, Syndergaard, Fernandez
wew lads
>>69254493
Stop saying regression to the mean you retards
You don't know what that concept actually means, you idiots just think "oh this shit team is overperforming, so they're going to be shit again soon"
That's not how sports work, faggot
>>69254583
>winning by 1 run
as if that means anything go fucking look up our record in 1 run games this year and last year, i would do it myself and tell you but i dont want to off myself just yet
>>69254582
mattingly has zero bench and no starting pitching other than fernandez. Im an objective mets fan desu, and they are missing a bench and another stud starter in the worst way. Without those 2, they will never survive 162 games.
Example of this teams games, name that team:
1-2 L
2-4 L
15-3 W
4-7 L
1-3 L
12-9 W
7-6 W
0-3 L
3-5 L
>>69254650
Stop meming
DOUBLE NO HITTER WATCH
>>69254595
Your original insult was stupid, I can't imagine why you'd expect something smart to comeback with
There's also nothing to be salty about, your team is an irrelevant shitstain in baseball compared to an actual team like the Yankees
But go ahead and brag about an even years like a faggot more, dipshit, its so ebin and funny just like you xD
I wish I could take your fucking head off then shove it up your ass you fucking pussy
>>69254620
Kershaw is done for the year
>>69254662
i cant wait till sanchize blows it and we lose like 2-1 or 3-1
ive seen this episode too many times this season, i guarantee you there will be at least 1 bases loaded with 1 or fewer outs situation this game for us where we dont score a single run yet again
>>69254629
thats how baseball works, though
shit teams that overperform fall back down to earth almost always
unless you think the Marlins are going to end the year with 5 guys in their starting lineup batting over .300, and none of those 5 being Stanton.
>>69254696
they do have the greatest hitter in baseball history as a batting coach tho
>>69254701
It's a regular no hitter watch now
>>69254696
>thats how baseball works though
No it doesn't you stupid faggot, just because you've been reading Fangraphs recently doesn't mean you know how statistical regression works especially with intangible and constantly changing variables
>>69254488
because their pitching is on the DL and Bannister is telling the team to put it on cruise control while he tests guys being brought up from AAA
Nothing to worry about Rangerbro, they are still going to win the division easily and are in a good spot to win the American League with homefield advantage
>>69254723
Babe Ruth? Ted Williams?
>>69254745
remember when the phillies were doing good back in april now they're falling back to earth because they suck
>>69254679
I wasn't even the guy you were responding to. The first guy who brought it up was being tongue in cheek. I don't bring it up. Then you fueled it by posting the unfunny meme. Now you're mad as fuck and calling the team with second best record in baseball who's won 3 World Series in the '10s irrelevant because you're delusional and autistcally angry as fuck. Sorry the Yankees suck this year bro. Maybe you should just kill yourself if this all upsets you so much
also i just realized the nationals lost to the fucking broors today, so if there are any milwaukee fans in here you guys are alright
>>69254683
source? i thought he was out for a couple of months
>>69254794
That's because they suck, that has absolutely nothing to do with regression and whatever retarded jabber you're going on about
A shit team being shit isn't how regression to the mean works
>>69254745
>he thinks I'm using the term in a technical sense and not colloquially
as expected from a STEMtard, completely oblivious to subtlety

He's only out for a few weeks I thought
>>69254814
i wasn't the one making the post about regression to the mean i'm a different person he's saying how shitty teams overperform then go back to being bad again
is mattingly retarded? honestly
>batting .365
>4 for 4 in the game
>bunts
>>69254801
Oh it was tongue in cheek, that means its so funny and everyone should laugh and not find you to be an insufferable fucking faggot who should probably immolate himself!!!

its 3 months minimum, might be ready for the playoffs but he won't be sharp at all
GORDO ABSOLUTEY BTFO THE ENTIRE COUNTRY OF CANADA
>>69254816
There is no subtelty you autist
You're just saying "the marlins will suck because regression to the mean"
What is that supposed to imply? That they're a shitty team? Then just say it, regression to the mean has nothing to do it with it, colloquially you're just a fucking retard
>>69254917
Fucking gordo
Reminder that I could snap all your necks
>>69254913
They said he doesn't need surgery for now, but yeah he'll likely be out a good while

wew laddie
>>69254924
you can't seriously be this fucking dense
baseball is a game of averages, both on an individual and team level. sometimes guys get hits at a higher than normal(from their past performance) and sometimes teams win games at a higher rate than they are predicted
when these teams or players do this, and then fall back to earth and their career averages, we in the baseball community call that "regression to the mean"
it might not fit your autistic pr0-statistician definition of regression to the mean, but it's how its used in sports so just fucking deal with it
>>69254979
You know exactly what I mean you stupid fucking retard. It being tongue in cheek doesn't make it unfunny either you stupid fucking faggot
>What are you even doing
Pointing out how much of a little fucking retard pussy you are, you stupid fuck
How about you not fucking open your mouth the next time you're going to say something stupid
>oh it was just tongue in cheek it makes me immune from being a faggot!!!
Fucking pussy
>>69254970
fite me irl faggot i do MMA
>>69255020
You are a fucking retard
Things just don't magically fall down to averages just because you say so, you dumb sack of shit
If you want to call them shit and overperforming then say it, regression to the mean has literally nothing to do with that
And again, you're just discounting every possible variable because you're a stupid faggot who doesn't know what he's talking about
Stay BTFO

You're actually not making sense. How am I being a pussy or not 'opening my mouth to say something'? When I'm replying to you. You're also acting like I'm the one who started this conversation or talking about 'even year' shit. Just admit you're mad the Giants have more wins than your shit team. It's obvious to everyone else and you're embarrassing yourself

Good fucking luck Hochever. Yost fucked you

Dude, something's gotta be done about these fucking umps. They can throw you out of a game for telling them they're doing a shit job when they objectively are and thousands of people can see it. Then they hold shit against teams and managers and fuck your game up on purpose. Fuck them. There needs to be more strict control over umpires from the league
>>69256941
Warm up the robots!
>>69256941
Yeah its fucking bullshit and there's no accountability which is what pisses me off the most.
This doesnt mean he's starting tomorrow right?
http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/16773614/new-york-mets-activate-jose-reyes-tuesday
Why does it make people so mad that the Giants have more wins than any other team? It's not like they have the best record. The improbable odds of winning 4 World Series' in 7 years means they probably won't do anything this year anyways
Vin Scully is so fucking awful glad he's retiring
>>69257079
for sure. The last time I really remember an ump taking responsibility for a bad call was when Joyce fucked up that perfect game. I guess that's what it takes - fucking up a perfect game - for one of them to step forward
Okay but Flores is hitting .315 since coming off the DL 1+ month ago and Reyes hit like .138 in his minor league assignment and they never even bothered playing him above AA.
So what does this mean? Demoting Matt Reynolds and having Flores and Reyes platoon at 3B, a position Reyes has never played before?
This seems to be a bit rushed and something like a solution for a problem that doesn't exist.

I don't know, they usually don't announce the lineup until a few hours before the game starts, they haven't said anything specifically about him starting and I don't think they will.

The greatest Brewer and Met all time, sharing a laugh.
I train with Pilates in the offseason and in-season on a daily basis. Pilates gets my body into a position where I'm activated, I'm loose and I'm ready to go as soon as I step out onto the field. It aids my warm-up process; it gets me much more ready for the day of activity than any other type of warm-up ever has. And the amount of core strength that I've built with Pilates and hamstring strength and hip mobility and mobility in my shoulders and my spine -- those are all things that directly correlate with what I have to do on the field.
I kind of brought Pilates to the Cubs. I went to Ricketts, Jed, Theo, and I told them this is our way to be innovative. In five to 10 years, every clubhouse in baseball is going to be doing this. I think at first a lot of guys were skeptical. But as time has gone by, the amount of guys that are taking part in either a morning routine of Pilates or an afternoon session is pretty high. I'd say there's been 15-20 guys that are actively using Pilates. And they are all seeing the added benefit.

if I decided to watch your sport, which team would you advise i support?
t. cricket fan who is deathly sick of the lack of real cricket
>>69261984
Just pick games at random until you find a player you like, and follow his team.
>>69261999
>player
But there's 25 players on a team. Just find a team that you like as a whole
>>69262012
I figure finding one player you like would be faster than finding a whole team you like.
>>69261984
Pirates. blackest team in the league.
>>69261999
That kinda seems like a lot of effort tho, do I really want to sift through that many games until I like a team? I've been half watching a handful this year and decided that baseball is probably a better sport than one day cricket but I haven't really been paying much attention to the teams I was watching
>>69262034
Do you watch NFL/NBA/NHL?
>>69262034

>autocorrected peeland
Reeeeee
>>69262041
Not really tttt (to tell the truth), the only one of those that really interests me as a sport is NFL but I just can't get past how american it is in the way they present it.
>>69262051
Not really, though weirdly one of the people who taught me to love cricket was an American from Maine, weirdly I don't think I've ever heard him talk about baseball. 10 year old me oddly never seemed to question the oddity of a man with a strong american accent knowing more about cricket than anyone in my family.
>>69262063
One of my old mates supports them so I was thinking of it :^)
>>69262034
What are you looking for in terms of competitiveness? There's teams at the top who are good now but may not be for long, teams on the rise who are just coming into being good, teams on the decline who can still be kinda good but are heading for a down period, and teams at the bottom who have nowhere to go but back up
>>69262072
Well NZ in cricket currently exists as a team who has been perpetually mediocre for a very long time but currently has a small crop of great players which is enough to... make us draw with England. And we still can't beat Australia.
I guess I'd prefer a team on the rise rather than a really successful team, though having said that the rugby team I support are the unrivalled GOATs and had a 9-year long dynasty
>>69262082
Sounds like maybe the Pirates, Indians, Mets, Dbacks if they could get their shit together. Unfortunately there is no active dynasty in MLB, despite what >rags fans might say. The Giants are close to one but they miss the playoffs entirely between championships

Aren't the Dodgers undefeated since Kershit went out?
>>69262762
Yeah, they've won 5 in a row, so what? There's literally no way he'll win MVP or the Triple Crown being gone for that many starts. He isn't leading in wins or strikeouts and he's going to be missing more starts. He could still win the Cy Young though, depending on how long he ends up being out and how other people pitch
>>69262634
what was the verdict for norris? how long is he out and can matt boyd actually pitch like he does in AAA?
>>69262082
NZ cricket was fun as fuck to watch when mccullum was playing desu. at least you have a couple of other guys who can flog the fuck out of it. we remain flat track bullies who can't hit the swinging ball for dick, it's embarrassing.
regarding your team, if you have a lot of patience, the braves will be good in a few years, the marlins are on the way up now, the indians pitching is controllable and should keep them in the picture for a couple more years (same as the mets). i'm a tigers fan but i've found i'm able to watch just about any game and enjoy it, choosing a team just takes time
>>69263091
While I loved McCullum transitioning the team, he also ran it into the ground a bit in the last year, it was the right time for him to leave.
Kane, however, is NZ's true and only chance at a legendary batsman and I believe in him to be our greatest captain too. If Boult and Southee stop being fucking fairweather pussies then we have a solid team. The Aus tour failures were a bitter pill to swallow after such a long unbeaten run but I don't think that's the end of our slow rise.
And yeah I reckon I'll just watch a few of the ones mentioned and see how I feel, no matter what I do it's gonna feel arbitrary so I may as well just pick one.
I've just recently decided that ODI/T20 is shit and never to watch it again, it's like taking cricket and trying to turn it into baseball, whilst not even including the cool parts of baseball.
>>69263136
i can't stand the cricket commentators in australia, they suck off warner and maxwell and when they fuck up they aren't held accountable. i'll watch test cricket at the pub and have a punt but that's about it.
what >>69262132 said about the Dbacks is right too. they've been fucked by injuries and underperformance but they should be a good up and coming team in a tough division
>>69263197
Yeah I generally watch cricket on mute with music unless it's the English Sky team, who are fantastic. Our commentators are pretty awful too barring Mark Richardson.
>>69263197
>>69263209
Can't be worse than a lot of baseball commentators. Joe Buck and Tim McCarver together for about a decade and a half on FOX until a few years ago were literally the most cancerous thing I've ever heard
>>69263296
Think five days of nothing but "hey, remember when we used to play this game? Yeah, and we were good too! Wow, those were the days".
>>69263296
Also someone just posted this in the other thread, this is how bad aussie commentators get >>69263326
>>69263296
there are only a few baseball guys i will listen to. i like mario and rod but that's probably because they're the guys for my team. i like the SNY guys and vin. if there is a game on and i don't like the commentators i'll mute it and listen to something else
>>69263386
ugh i watched this live. i like warnie despite his shortcomings but fuck when him, slater, bradshaw (how does a dozen first class games give you the right to international commentary) lee all get in the box together i want to slit my own throat. warnie is actually pretty insightful when he talks cricket and not this other bullshit. huss is bretty gud too

Yeah, most localized broadcasters are at least bearable for me even if some aren't very good, but the worst of the worst are just awful and I can't stand the mass appeal, plastic broadcasting you get from ESPN and FOX (though FOX is slightly better than it used to be)
>>69263386
Kek, that was ridiculous. Baseball commentators sometimes try to go off the cuff and force this laid back casual conversation and be funny, and it's usually awful when they do, but it doesn't go on for that long and completely ignore the game for that long lol
>>69263505
Meant to ask before, but how did you become a tiggers fan?
What are you flying btw? And accommodation?
>>69263533
It's pretty much objectively awful when they talk about anything other than the game. With the exception of when Bumble tries to pick up old women in the crowd through the commentary ear-pieces whilst trying to work out what they're saying back to him, which will never stop being hilarious
>>69263559

Chris O'Leary is an autistic manchild who tries to prove every injury or struggle in baseball is this ONE NEAT TRICK and gets buttblasted when pros who know what they are talking about comment on it.
He has a hate-boner for Jeff Passan because he didn't talk about the Inverted-W or whatever the fuck O'Leary is on about now in his book and swears it was an ACTIVE swipe at him.
I wouldn't be surprised if OP himself is in fact the false prophet himself, seeing as he's a megalomaniac.
