Honestly, chewing tobacco and tobacco in general is stupid. I used to chew sometimes, but it's just so pointless. You feel like shit if you go without it for too long. Better to just not get into it or to only do it once in a blue moon. Obviously it's everybody's life to live how they want and I would never tell anybody they can't, I just think they should think about it

Cueto for 2 innings
Scherzer for 2 innings
Fernadez for 1 inning (2 if Cueto or Scherzer struggle and have to be pulled earlier than planned)
Pomeranz for 1 inning
Ramos/Melancon for 1 inning
Familia for 1 inning
Jansen for 1 inning
Lester as a LOOGY is needed
Melancon relieves any of the SPs if they can't finish an inning (otherwise gets the 7th)
Ideally:
1st inning: Cueto
2nd inning: Cueto
3rd inning: Scherzer
4th inning: Scherzer
5th inning: Fernandez
6th inning: Pomeranz
7th inning: Melancon
8th inning: Familia
9th inning: Jansen
>>69498575
Collins said in an interview earlier today that Familia is only going to pitch if the NL is leading in the 9th.
>>69498588
Jansen's been better by every metric, but that's Memey Collins for you
probably gonna give Bartolo the 5th too
>>69498610
He also said Bart is gonna pitch if the game goes into extras and will probably go 4 or 5 innings if the game lasts that long
Was the wild card a mistake?

Pitchers are far more likely to get out when they go up to bat, but that just makes it all the fucking sweeter when a pitcher hits a home run.
Same nine men on defense and offense. Fuck that DH pussy shit.
>Fuck that DH pussy shit.
So if Adrian Beltre plays one more season after this season he'll pass 3,000 hits and be around 450 homeruns. He's also a 4 time gold glover an and doesn't like when people touch his head

>>69498684
I don't get 2013. Both teams had the same record so what criteria was used to list STL instead of Boston.
>>69501049
I think triple A teams do that. Not entirely sure though.

dosen't the 4chan spam filter block the trucks now?
found this '''''full-blooded american's'''''' guide for yuros to pick a MLB team to follow:
i wont post link for the faggot to get views though
>Cleveland Indians – Here is the Cleveland Indians logo Chief Wahoo, a stylized caricature of a Native American. That will likely disqualify Cleveland from becoming your favorite American baseball team. Good decision.
>Atlanta Braves - Stear clear of this franchise. First, they have long featured racist Native American iconography, including their old mascot Chief Noc-A-Homa
>St. Louis Cardinals - Listen, David Eckstein was an OK player, but fans and media beatified him because he was short, WHITE and appeared unathletic. It’s the same reason Peyton Hillis was on a Madden cover. Don’t support the Cardinals.
Is he the best power hitter currently in baseball?
Sure his average is not the best but his yardage is not human
>>69503350
Yo does the ascii tank still work
>>69505328
He unequivocally has the most power in mlb. Doesn't necessarily mean he will hit the most home runs but he certainly hits them the furthest.
>>69505328
He's a good example of 'swing hard incase you hit it' unfortunately he doesn't hit it enough
>>69505328
there's few hitters that have ever had the gift for distance that he has. Off the top of my head I can only think of Dave Kingman and Mark McGwire.
when do the red sox and cubs play?
>>69505236
Trucks are pivotal to Pilates deliveries, so I think they get a pass for MLB related endeavors.
What are the chances the rays trade odorizzi, moore or smyly within the division? I'm guessing not very likely.
>>69505661
I'm actually tempted to blackmail Duke into pursuing Tampa pitching.
Yes, even Jaden.
>>69505696
It sucks because they have the most cost efficient arms but its so unlikely they're willing to trade guys like that within the division.
Now that the dust has settled, who won?
>>69505994
We got Mark Buehrle. That man was so based he was worth the trade all by myself.
>>69506096
Sox fan here, can attest to that.

>>69506096
this, Buehrle won't make the HOF because the type of pitcher he is mad underrated, but he's the #1 guy I think of when someone says "solid, workhorse pitcher who eats innings for breakfast." (Nobody has ever actually said this to me, but you get the gist.) Kind of Curt Schilling Lite since he doesn't get a lot of Ks.
RIGHT FIELD, THAT'S HEADED FOR THE WATER
AND BONDS HAS HIS SECOND GRANDSLAM OF THE YEAR
>>69506884

JASH DANULSON
Reminder Sale said there are No repercussions that come from the ASG.
>>69507757
His infatuation with this man makes him sound like a giant twat when he pronounces his name.
>>69507798
well personally he's right unless he gets traded to a team with actual playoff hopes
>>69507811
He knows the sox have no chance at the WS so he's taking down the rest of the AL with him.
Kershaw threw bullpen a couple days ago and might only miss one start after the all star break
Even as a Sox fan, I think it would be funnier if Sale gave up 5 in the first inning rather than K the side after what he said.
Go Chris Trollale. Someone shop some Sale trollfaces with "no repercussions" images to get ready for the game.
Kershaw isn't even the best pitcher in his league
>>69507944
nobody cares
>>69507981
I do, I'm sure teams contending for the wild card do, lots of people do

>>69508102
He's not even a casual. Even a casual fan knows that Kershaw is on another level
>>69508109
they are the two biggest faggots in broadcasting and everyone but natshitals fans agree
Clayton Kershaw's injury is going to nag him for the rest of the season and he'll finish out with a 2.93 ERA. He will have surgery in the offseason and never throw below 4 ERA again in his career.

Steven Wright is shit and everyone knows it. Getting lucky with his "wind pockets" does not make for an entertaining baseball game, it's just dumb and gay

Steven Wright isn't even a good knuckleball pitcher.
>>69509586
yeah i'd prefer to watch real baseball players, not memes

Are you fucking joking? I would love to see dank as fuck kunckleballs thrown in the All-Star game against elite players who really never see the pitch.
If you don't respect the greatness and beauty of the knuckleball, then fuck you.

>>69509891

NL pitchers are going to be upset when they find out there are no free outs to bail them out of trouble.
>>69510214
>Muh free outs meme
>>69510242
Posing a way epic image macro does not change the fact that I am absolutely, 100% correct.
>>69510242
>Le I don't understand that most pitchers have under a .100 average maymay
>>69510259
The DH is nothing more than GM's trying to get the fat piece of shit who can hit but has zero athletic skills into the game.
This is a good thing.
>>69510272
The DH is the only reasonable way to make the game harder for the players and more fun for the fans. If the NL wants free outs easy mode, why not just literally have two outs per inning? Everyone could get home in time to put the kids to bed.
>>69510265
There really isn't that big of a difference between National League and American League batting average and OBP, which is kind of surprising
>>69510272
While a lack of a DH is nothing more than GM's touting "Muh tradishun". Having a pitcher swing and miss at pitches, and bunt when people on base is also just as boring.
If you have people on base and two outs, in the early innings, say gg.

>>69510441
pro tip: nothing destroys your case like openly omitting data
>>69510482
pro tip: pitchers suck at hitting
>>69510511
according to you, not if you include Arrieta
>>69510530
>one pitcher is a better sample size than an entire team/league full of pitchers
The NL batting line for pitchers is .133/.164/.172.
B-B-B-BUT MUH ARRIETA
>>69510561
hey, I'm not the one who had to omit Arrieta in order to build a case
>>69510585
hey, I'm not the one who thinks one pitcher is a good sample size
>>69510592
apparently you do though, because otherwise there would have be no need to omit his stats
When's the first pitch of the All-Star Game? I know the broadcast starts at 8 but when does the game start for real?
>>69510637
uh...that's literally the entire point of omission
because 1 outlying piece of data is irrelevant
you idiot
>>69510652
omitting information, as a rule, weakens your case
if it was as irrelevant as you say it is, then you would have had nothing to lose by including it
>>69510689
that's just untrue
you have a lot to learn about debating.
what is your point of all this? you will literally never prove that pitchers can hit. because they can't.
>all star game that decides home field advantage for the most important series of the year
>not the best of the best players being represented
I don't think this semen slurping sport is for me
>>69510638
10:30
>>69510764
Don't be a jerk. (Also, I'm looking for eastern time)
>>69510704
I haven't proven pitchers can hit, because I never set out to do that. I'm not the person you were originally replying to. I'm just pointing out how you weakened your own case.
Or maybe I am the other guy am I'm attacking your argument in a way I would not have been able to had you not omitted data.
>>69510805
I don't know to be honest. The opening ceremony and introduction is always so god damn long.

>the state of this thread until the ASG
I'm gonna post second basemen that were solid for a while, or briefly, and then they died or people didn't care about them.
Starting with Todd Walker:
Batted .289/.348/.435 over 12 seasons and 1,288 MLB games.
>>69510866
you literally can't attack my argument. because your only attack is "you omitted 1 outlier", which is a common practice.
Marcus Giles:
Batted .277/.353/.429 over 7 seasons and 792 MLB games. Had an impressive prime over 3 seasons where he hit .305/.377/.480 and showed serious extra base power that "came out of nowhere" despite being a 5'8" manlet. He "lost all of his power" and ended sucking hard at the end of his career.
His brother was better anyway.
>>69510561
AL starting catchers are batting .231, and without Salvador Perez in the equation it drops to .226.
WHELP I GUESS CATCHERS SHOULDN'T HIT EITHER, BETTER CREATE 2 DH SPOTS
>>69510935
actually there was no way of knowing whether or not it was an outlier, because you omitted it
>>69511049
You're a fucking dumbass.
>>69511049
uh, yeah, they're hitting .230/.293/.377, which is a .671 OPS compared to the pitcher OPS of .336
so......no, you're wrong you god damn idiot
You guys remember when Jake Arrieta hit that home run, but the Cubs weren't allowed to add a run to their score because Arrieta is an outlier and his stats don't count.
>>69511049
I wonder how much Dio and Avila bring down the average
Josh Barfield:
Was literally only good for one year and it was his rookie year in 2006 when he was 23:
Played 150 games for the Poordres and hit .280/.318/.423 with 32 doubles, 3 triples, and 13 home runs, stealing 21 bases. Traded to Cleveland before 2007 and sucked hard. Hung around briefly for two more year but that was it.
What a fucking bust.
>>69511160
no one asked though...
>>69511234
And? You are the worst kind of poster seriously.
![hudson1280_w3rodc3y_qbxkjdax[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/TySIjQ5.jpg "hudson1280 w3rodc3y qbxkjdax[1]")
Orlando Hudson:
Was pretty fucking above average for quite a long time, like a lesser version of Jimmy Rollins but playing second base. Batted .273/.341/.412 over 11 seasons and 1,345 MLB games.
Nice dude.
>>69511251
Never reply to me ever again your semen slurping shitfuck.

Predict the starters
How will Sale do?
How will Cueto so?
>>69511335
Sale will give up a solo dinger, Cueto will go scoreless
>>69511318
You're dumb. Shut up.
>>69511335
Chris "no repercussions" Sale will give up 4 hits and 5 runs with 2 walks.
Cueto goes 1-2-3
what exactly is it about a tripcode that makes someone's post so fucking cringey to read
>>69511413
Nobody asked you about any of this, shut up now.
>>69511427
The fact that they want everyone to know that it's them who's posting it.
>>69511335
Sale
Strikes out Zorbist
walks Harper
strikes out Bryant
Myers grounds out
Cueto
Altuve base hit
Trout HR
Machado 2B
Ortiz HR
Bogs base hit
Hosmer grounds out to double play
Betts pops out to RF
>Wright won't pitch tonight unless game goes into extras
Ned Yost should kill himself tbqh.
ITT: Anonymous virgins/cowards posting about literally nothing and wasting their breath believing they speaking words that vindicate their noble beliefs.
Kolten Wong:
They said he would be good. Lost a World Series trying to steal a base or something like that. Over 4 seasons, he has hit .249/.307/.364. Got demoted this year. A bust.
>>69511495
sounds pretty impartial senpai
>>69511504
you posted this shit already
knucklememes are irrelevant

dat Soler insight, almost as entertaining as when he posted a bunch of home run calls in a row

That's a big fucking lie. I didn't post for one week because I was on a planned vacation with my gf in southern Illinois, you dense motherfucker. Even then, I kept posting about how there was and still is zero need to panic. Cubs got this shit, you cocksucker. BLOW ME.

>>69516633
but that's really really fucking stupid
so why would they do that
>>69516652
2-3-2 is a weird format, the road team for the series should not have 3 consecutive home games when home team only has 2 at a time
there's a reason the NBA and NHL do it like that
>Strike out looking with the sacks loaded to an Astros reliever

He got umpballed too
Red Sox bros get in here
>people thought Arenado was better than Bryant
Post players you want to suffer a career ending injury
Why is the NL so inferior?
That game pretty much confirms the Royals are going to the postseason at the very least
The meme magic finally woke up from its half season slumber
What did he mean by this?
>they all doubted Britton
>Not knowing any runner on first is dead to rights for a GIDP
Thanks for the homefield advantage Royals bros. We're still contenders, Cashman said so.

Thought that counts. He prob has the Camero anyway
They should give home field to the AL team. No point in having an ASG if all the NL does is lose.
