>tfw no MiLB gf

I hope the Rangers win the WS for this man. My desire for AB to get a ring before his career is over is slightly higher than my desire for Texas to win their first WS ever.

today's must watch games

Cleveland-Detroit
Cardinals-Giants
Redsox-NYY

Bauer is literally killing the players.

>Gnats and NEETs are the Wild Card Teams
You both better collapse so the Tards and Pierats make it.

>tfw I have the cheapest cable package possible and must resort to shit-tier streaming services to watch any baseball games

>2 weeks left

I don't wanna I don't wanna

>mfw arizona splits the series with us tonight

mlb.tv is $10 for the rest of the season.

I split it with my bro and only pay $50 a year

Mets
>TJ Rivera hitting .356

Wonder what her relationship is like with her father

Who /SundayFunday/ day-drinking here?

pyf bochy wins another one for the city

Eh, I can just stream the games for free with the minor annoyances of stuttering and the occasional need to reload the stream to make it work again...

I also don't get any Fox Sports channels so I'd have to stream >my team's games regardless of whether or not I had mlb.tv

I thought it was the Bay

Tribe-Tigers game is on TBS today I think. If you get that

they bay includes Jokeland. The city is the only relevant part

I can do that, thanks! Cowboys vs Redskins is going on right now as well though. I'll probably be flipping back and forth.

delet this.Cards and Giants fans shitting themselves over the Wildcard race

...?

Mets have the smoothest road possible for the WC while San Fran and Tardinals are killing themselves fighting for it.

>Giants face Dodgers twice
It's over for San Francisco, isn't it?

bartolo is based, I hope he pitches for another decade tbqhwyf

Didnt see Sox Royals for some reason

Teams who will conclude their season today:

>faggots (sf)
>Indians
>mest (mets)

Yankees concluded their season after game 3 against the Dodgers from that you guys gave told me.

Who else am I missing?

how would indians or mets lose their season? injury could do it for the indians, but nobody of value is playing for the mets besides cespedes

>replying to the underaged delusional tripfag

mariners are going to get swept and im going to kill myself

>Thinking the Cubs are going to lose to the Merts again
Last year's formula won't work because Cubs have a lot better batting discipline, and the massive holes in the bullpen have at least been patched up.

post more of these baseball ebony ponys

>hue hue jungle savage thinks "it" has an opinion on baseball
Funny shit.

How are you going to do it?

When did i say that you literal retard

Still gonna get BTFO by TJ Rivera and Conforto

You're still alive? I was hoping you'd have killed yourself by now.

>cusb fans in charge of understanding basic english

we knew you were retarded, but not to that extent

I apologize for that other Cusb fans autism

I know the word "daddy" in it self triggers you (cuz u have no father), but it's part of my gimmick, but I also don't wanna be inconsiderate to those who grew up without daddy's so, Idk what to do here. Maybe change it back to papi?

What are your usual safe places?

DG, we all wish you were dead.
You are by far the worst trip that visits /mlb/

Dodgers fans may not be collectively the worst fans but some of their individuals are notably terribad.

Run the field and make security tase me right in the nuts, killing me instantly

BasedAJ is worse imo

>wake up
>people STILL mad Kershaw's ERA is under 1.80 and that his WHIP literally the lowest of all time.
Wowzers

Daddy Memeike is my favorite trip and tbqh we are blessed to have him here so he can fly too close to the sun and so we can collectively roast his ass again

Well he was right about Iwakuma still being good

No you fucking don't lmao

t. Stankeesfag probably

'Stros have as good a chance as anyone desu. The trouble is knocking out the ALE three, though the Jays seem to want to drop out

This, honestly. They aren't killed quite yet, and they have arguably the easiest schedule for the rest of the season. It's gonna be interesting at least.
>mfw they expand it to 3 wild card teams in 2024

going to watch shitcocks get btfo instead of mariners getting btfo. so someone else can make the thread today

easiest schedule for sure out of the teams in the WC race

Astros at Mariners

Trips of evil edition

Mets just closed a 1-run game with their lefty specialist and the jints LITERALLY can't get one save from their full time closer in september

>implying the Nats won't collapse again

A sleepwalking Familia crushed the heart of your order lol

Is Kansas city, dare I say, back?

they can, its just very, very, very, very, very, very, very rare

Buddy, I went to Islamic State University. I'm going to nuke your fucking house

ROYALS COMING FOR THAT WILD CARD

Robbie Ray will be the next NL pitcher to break out. Next season I see a sub 3 with 240K's. He's like lefty darvish. High k/9 but when doesn't get the K. It's a hard hit ball.

Dude is lowkey severely hurt by his team.

Is that a D1 school? Never heard of it.

it's a for-prophet private uni

Rude

trout did another ninja slide today

Up the RA btw

HAAHAHAHAH COULD YOU BE ANYMORE SHOOK?

STOP BULLYING BAUER!!!!

This reads like he's literally being forced to type it. Like they sat him down in front of a computer and gave him a teleprompter of what to type out.

why is bauer mad at hoynsie

who is hoynsie

what did hoynsie do

He gave an interview after the game saying the same thing, nothing disingenuous about it.

beat writer that wrote this story

cleveland.com/tribe/index.ssf/2016/09/sept_17_the_day_cleveland_indi.html#incart_river_index

You're really grasping straws after losing 13 of 15 against us.

A local beat writer who wrote a hack piece about the season being over.

Just a dumb pessimist, moving on.

>Son, when I was your age I got to see legendary NL Cy Young winners like R.A. Dickey and Jake Arrieta.

>Wow, that's so cool dad! They must have been really good in the AL too!

>Shut the fuck up, kid. Don't you ever talk to me or your step-mom ever again.

This is the same faggot that was gloating about Carrasco and Salazar getting injured. Don't even give it a you.

MR. UPTON IT WAS AN ACCIDENT I SWEAR!!

>You now remember double sweep day
>You now remember 13-2

KipGod so based

I cringed a bit when I saw Hoynes post that article. It's like he doesn't read the comments and know how many rabid homers are on there

>7 games back of ALC
>2.5 games back of WC
>22.1% probability according to Fangraphs
>unironically 2-13 vs the Windians
>$200 million+ payroll and missing the postseason TWO (2) years in a row
>your decrepit owner dying without being able to buy a ring

It really wasn't a balanced take considering how unpredictable the MLB playoffs are and teams that have gotten through with weaker rotations. I think Meisel and Bastian both do a better job of covering the team while keeping it honest.

Dodgers on some 2014 Giants meme shit.

This is gonna be great.
We winning games with bullpens and clutch hitting. Wowzers. I legit thought this game was done.

>The bee infested city of Los Angeles

I WONDER WHO COULD BE BEHIND IT

WHY IS JOSH DONALDSON SO CALM?!?!?!?

>Douchebacks

>Los Angeles
You misspelled Anaheim, Leafbro.

give us our meme magic back.
reeee

top cuck

>rags
gg

>You may only reply to this post if your season is over

I agree, I felt it was a bit forced and he was jumping the gun a bit. Their chances are definitely much worse than before but they just have to get in, which I'm 99.9% sure is a given, and take it a game at a time. It's just surprising coming from someone who's covered them for so long.

I don't think they should bully him so hard. Too many people seem to think Cleveland is invincible now because of the Cavs and it's getting to their heads.

Bastian is alright but I've seen Meisel get into this smug homer mode and it's really off-putting.

Andrew Friedman literally built the greatest bullpen of a time. How the fuck you got a 15 man bullpen that works? Crazy shit.

Reporting.
>josh thole is hitting better than josh donaldson in the month of september
>road trip to seattle next who shit on us and are on a big hot streak

tfw we gonna get eliminated by the fucking Padres and if they don't the doyers will

Been since like July

>san fagcisco gints

Just ignore.

>The Yankees will be eliminated by the Rays this week

It's not all that surprising coming from Hoynes since he's went scorched earth plenty of times in the past, including several times this season. I do really enjoy reading him though, especially when he sets straights dumb takes about the team or ownership. And yeah I wouldn't attack him over it, or at least fans shouldn't take it too far.

Bastian is very informative which I like. I think Meisel does the "homer" stuff sometimes cause someone has to but I get what you're saying.

April reporting in

Does that include postseason? Then again I think if you have cable ya can just download the apps like espn and tbs to watch it

these faggots better sweep Toronto

this series could either destroy their playoff chances or potentially give them a wildcard

Thank God for football

Teams that concluded their season today:

Thanks guys
That felt pretty good, actually. I might do some more of those

You're welcome my son

>Detroit, Seattle, Houston, Yankees
which one is most likely to garb the wildcard the Jays seem set on losing?

Seattle or Houston. Probably Houston.

>Yangervis Solarte's wife dies
>he plays for the Padres

Pretty accurate for his kids to understand that.

Detroit or Seattle

Fuck off

not funny - shit joke and shit topic

You faggots truly are pathetic

This is literally the worst general on this board

Barring injury and decline where does he finish?

>Detroit
>4 straight series losses and a split (includes whos and twins)

1st ballot HOF imho
has a ring, career .320/.398/.561, 441 dongs, 2 MVP's and counting

*and triple fucking crown
jesus I didn't know that. in my defense I follow NL. maybe they get hot?

ok

I just meant hits

I hope it's Houston since I like Houston but rags might not choke against them and nobody wants to see that.

The Memeiners wasted all of his elite seasons and now he's just 'good' or 'okay'

Give another round of applause for the Shitattle Memeiners, the worst franchise in baseball

Doubtful. Their offense only seems to show up every 4 games, they only have one truly reliable starter, all of their opponents are in the central who have taken a liking to beating them up lately (in Cleveland's case, permanently). They should be happy with sitting second after being dead last the previous season honestly.

Correction, last series is against the Braves. But by that point it could easily be too late.

>Houston wins WC
>Sweep >rags in the DS

I'd never stop laughing

baseball is unpredictable. also 2* reliables. as a mets fan im ashamed to say fulmer is a the ROTY favorite senpai. besides his last start, he was amazing. and ALC is kind of pathetic besides Indians. are they getting raped by KC this season?
>houston winning anything

are you forgetting about Trout and the Angels?
I just hope hes finally traded to a contender before he shares Felix's fate

Chris Sale and the White Sox

Who?

There's that Ottoman humor again

kill yourself

Fulmer has fallen to earth. Tigers starters haven't recorded a win in 20+ games prior to today. Looks like Detroit is beating up KC in the SS but I wouldn't use that to predict anything.

>yfw Brad wasn't showing all his cards and the Tigers sweep the Indians/Braves to end the season and win the division

>?? years in the future, Hernandez, Trout, and Sale are working as announcers for the clubs they player for, calling games in the hope that they will see what they could never accomplish.

What's the title of this future 30 for 30?

JUST

how to be awful with the greatest gift the draft has ever given and a top 10 payroll: the Los Angeles Angels story

sorry o's and jays

That is the dodgers and Kershaws story. How to spend to most and still suck ass for 30 years

Siiiiiiiiiiiiinging in the rain

You tried. >We'll deal with the Red Memes, you bully Betances to strengthen his mental resolve.

what the fuck is wrong with Los Angeles?

i hope so. you niggas are elite at home.

>mfw our best relievers are unironically Tommy Layne and Blake Parker

...

Matchups look good, could easily go either way. We also have a new protocol for dealing with them:
Anyone caught pitching to Betts is executed, right on the mound.

>not listening to a night with Vin Scully on am570

>mfw both Mookie and HanRam go 3-3 with 3HRs combined AT LEAST per game

lmao and Rick the Dick will be getting his revenge for costing him his undefeated streak at Fenway last weeked

Check em, memelord.

HELP

hey guys... just wanted to let you know... spent the day with my mother in the hospital, we had the yankees game on... it's really not looking good for her

That's awful, but she's probably still doing better than the yankees.

>offense can barely score
>can't even win Tanaka games
>bullpen is shit aside from Parker
It's over lad. Rays will sweep us next.

>offense can barely score

scored 5 runs in two of the games. had a 4-0 lead in this one. pitching sucked dick

>bullpen is shit aside from Parker
hey, Layne's been alright.

Listening to Vin Scully is like being stuck in a ward the size of Montana wherein every 2 feet is an Alzheimer's inflicted patient with a worse case of it than the last

3500

They couldn't score late, always got cold in the later innings.

>bullpen is shit aside from Parker
>aside from Parker

We'll still catch up, like we usually do, in time for Britton to make them look silly again with helicopter swings and confusion inducing change up.

And he'll get away with it.
Again.

That's more because the Sox have, for some reason (cough koji cough), the best bullpen for the month of september in the AL

>Pete Abraham @PeteAbe 3m3 minutes ago
>#RedSox relievers have a 0.94 ERA this month

No no no

The last thing >we need, is for Seattle """fans""" to ruin another sport

He WILL regress

He HAS to.

Also, he's been getting really fucking lucky lately.
>that fucking meme out by the rasys running into an out at home
fucking reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

the best pitch in baseball isn't going to regress

he HAS to

why don't other teams want to win the al east? why do they let the red sox win?

Reminder that the Red Sox are the only hot playoff team right now

>hot right now

reminder that being hot in september is worthless

That's not the Mariners and Mets

And now is the time!

...

>mariners

fine by me

tbqh with you Joe, he's been very not-fuck-up-y this month

he's not making good decisions, but he's not making bad ones either (that are noticeable), and that's kind of the key

just stay the fuck out of the way and let the team do its thing

just needs to keep doing that for 1 more month

better to have fun optimism than act like a crybabby jays fan 2bh

>mariners planned this all along when trading smoaK and michael "only good against orioles starters" saunders

Watch them both be in the lineup, I'm on to you Seattle.

cut em some slack they're still learning how the sport works

I told you, man. He knew exactly what the fuck he was doing

It worked for the cardinals

The Dodgers didn't have players that would literally go apeshit if you killed one of their amigos

And angry Ortiz is not what you want. An angry mookie is not what you want. An angry Manlet (pedroia) is not what you want. An angry JBJ is not what you want.

I don't think xander is capable of getting angry, so that may disqualify him.

But among all that, an angry Ortiz is NOT what you want.

angry judge solos

>But among all that, an angry Ortiz is NOT what you want.
Because we're all afraid of a fat old man having a heart attack if he gets in a tizzy?

I think that was mattingly's fault. He was too laid back and easy going with the team. Something like that should have lit a fire under their asses.

I remember agon being mad that series but that was also because wainwright was talking smack.

that fat old man is still leading in a lot of batting categories and could probably clean and jerk you before throwing you a sizable distance

I've shaken his hand before, he is, powerful

>jerk you

oo baby

>3 weeks ago deluded optimist jays fans were adamant this shit team was going to make the postseason

where did it all go so wrong? Why was it so hard for people to believe a team that was top 3 in GIDPs, strikeouts, and bottom 3 in BA and averaging under 4 runs a game was going to regress hard at some point? Do they even watch baseball?

>jays fans
>Do they even watch baseball?
you already know the answer

Looks like the Baltimore/bombston series will determine who wins the division.

>red sox first 4-game sweep of stankees in 26 years

why

Almost literal pottery

...

Theres still 13 games left, that series is inly 3 of em

Plenty of time for a swing in reither direction

>Plenty of time for a swing in reither direction
no its not. A boston sweep would almost guarantee them the division

>Plenty of time
The cry of the hopeless

We'd need a sweep to tie them in the standings. Then hold it down the rest of the month.
It might be more accurate to say the fight for the title is between the two, even then we don't know if the Jays are done yet.

are the yankees done? does anybody know? sorry i haven't watched baseball since wednesday

They're done

Yankees are kill, 5 games out from wild card, 8 games out form division

wtf but they were right in the thick of things, what the hell could have happened in just four days to change that????

epic post friend :)

27 vs. 9

Shut the FUCK UP!

THE YANKEES END THE SEASON 88-74 AND MAKE THE OFFS

NOW RUN TELL DAT, HOME BOY.

SCREENCAP THIS SHIT FUCKING FAGGOTS.

Tremendous post, hooked two legit responses

U got a fucked up memory of that. Wainwright hit Puig in game 4 back in LA and benches cleared after Agon took his AB and exchanged words in Español with molina. Wainwright and Puig were diffusing the situation.

cute

Its a 4 game series you stupid memelord

gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

shut up. the yankees aren't going to do shit unless they fix their mess of a bullpen. Perhaps lure some 8th inning pitcher out of retirement.

...

>On March 30, 1973, the Baseball Writers' Association of America held a special election for the Baseball Hall of Fame. They voted to waive the waiting period for Roberto Clemente, due to the circumstances of his death, and posthumously elected him for induction into the Hall of Fame, giving him 393 out of 420 available votes, for 92% of the vote.
>dies in a plane crash on New Year's Eve delivering aid to Earthquake victims in Nicaragua
>obvious Hall of Fame career
>27 people still voted to keep him out

Why are Hall of Fame voters such assholes?

Oh yeah. Well in that case one game wouldn't be enough.

So is Thursday going to be the obligatory Papi jerkoff then, or is there one more series in OPACY this year?

>He gets gifted a bronzed dugout phone case

WAIT UH SEKKIND....
You're not talking about........

This is the last. I take it he'll be gracing Eutaw with a couple of moon shots before the series closes.

Its Porcello - Bundy
E-Tip - Gooseman
Buttholez - TBD (Jimenez/Gallardo)
And then Price - Crystalman

We NEED to win the first one, E-tip and Buttholez worry me lately

Because they want to use their vote on less-likely-but-still-deserving candidates in order to at least keep them on the ballot for another year. It's the voting system itself that's broken, not the voters.

CC Sabathia is a fat drunk

No thats dumb, some voters are LITERALLY just contrarian racist fucks

The BBWAA is a joke

Maybe, but this was a special vote done in March just for Clemente. They already did the regular ballot, and nobody else was on this one. They're really just jerks who vote against people just because they can.

is he the best pitcher in baseball?

TOMMY

JOHN

What are you referring to?

The deafening crack of Noah Syndergaard's arm snapping in half

No, because people being able to steal all over him honestly takes him down a small notch

Top 5 though

He's improved a bit in that regard now that Rivera catches for him over D'arnaud or Plewecki, who can't throw a runner out to save their lives. He still isn't very good at it though.

>You never witnessed Lou Gehrig's speech

>you never watched Ruth and Gehrig rip the arms off of the competition and dominate them sexually like men have done before

Why live honestly

*like no men

Williams and Mays*

*Mays and McCovey

Talking about teammates yo

Honestly though, no pair of teammates has ever been so much higher above the rest of the league than Ruth and Gehrig were in '27. Look at the league leaders from that year. It's insanity

Controversial opinion I know but desu I feel that Babe Ruth was a solid baseball player

Reminder that Williams never won a WS

he was pretty good

baseball-reference.com/leagues/MLB/1927-batting-leaders.shtml

Here's those 1927 league leaders I was talking about

Williams hit zone averages from the Hall

>you will never watch the Great Bambino hit 755
>you will never listen to him and Gehrig give their farewells on the cold bleachers of Old Yankee Stadium
>tfw no Babe Ruth Baseball card

I worshipped Ruth as a god as a kid. Remembering all the things I'll never get to see him do hurts me a little inside

And is still the best hitter of all time

Yeah. But now we get to watch the great Sanchino for 10+ years.

Alive just in time to watch my man Joey Bats flip some mother fuckin' bats!!!!

He only hit 714 home runs lad

Hope this was bait

he was okay i guess

congrats, your the only one to catch me. I was trying to see who was napping

Why are they all rounded to the nearest 10th except two of them?

jokes on them. You've seen the greatness known as Stephen Drew and Dean Anna.

Thoughts?

You get to watch Kershaw. A true all-time great. Not a deadball meme. Ruth was a giant in his era, would not compare to any 40+ HR hitter post 1955.

>71345965

dont ever @ me again

This is you being literally autistic

Do you understand that?

>whos

it's just where my mouse was on, I'm a Sox fan

Rangers/Dodgers gonna be fucken lit.
That series will be historic. The match-ups alone will be forever remembered.

But why?

Cardinals killed a dodger in 13 and the team BA went to shit after that

...

...

What the fuck website is this?
I like it.

>price
>54%
It's trash my dude

54% isn't that great, also I don't think you've been watching all of his last 7 starts

>all of his last 7
You sure about that

9*

well yeah, he went 7-0 giving up 3 runs only once before these last couple outings, it happens

giving up 4 ER is suddenly the end of the world?

>3 runs only once before these last couple outings
This corridor you've built keeps getting narrower

Bumgarner gave up 4ER to the Phillies in July and never again recovered. It's September now.

Im assuming you mean the 8 run game in august

he pitched a run and 2 run game immediately after

fivethirtyeight

Why do you thirst oh so hard for Bumgarner's piss piss boi?

and has like 3 wins in two and a half months? He didn't carry his team when they needed him.

what the fuck, I cant even read my own source

he had a 1 run game after with the following being a shutout through 7

>unironically basing a pitcher on wins/losses

>7 starts is a couple

>>unironically basing a pitcher on wins/losses
Chris Sale, Clayton Kershaw, Justin Verlander, Noah Syndergaard. All pitchers who at one point or another put the team on their back WINNING games this season. Bumgarner is losing games for his team. His performance is poor. Look at where his team is right now.

I was simply addressing his last two starts that have not been great, 3ER and 5 walks over 5, not fantastic but not awful either, followed by 7 innings with 4 ER

I'm not building any corridors you retard

>unironically defending bumshit in 2016
>winning games only counts when its against KC but not the rest of MLB
you just can't make this up.

>player records shutout through 7
>bullpen comes on, blows lead
>this is the pitchers fault

He's saving all his wins for the postseason

He's 7-1 over his last 10

There are two teams in the NL Wild Card race that have shutdown closers.
There is one that doesn't.
I wonder which one misses the playoffs.

There are only two legitimate shutdown closers in the NL: Dutchman and Melon cone.

Familia and Rosenthal are not one of them.

>There is one that doesn't.

hello

It's like you're actually fucking retarded mate

You know he's faced lots of different teams in the playoffs and World Series right?

>rosenthal

you think rosenthal is the cardinals closer
you really know your baseball huh

>Rosenthal

>You know he's faced lots of different teams in the playoffs and World Series right?
ERA of 3.79 in the post season before 2014.

Very mediocre. Stat padding at its best.

Excuses me. Oh still ain't Jansen or Melancon, or is that the argument here?

What about in the postseason overall?

Since, you know, that's what we're talking about

stop youre giving me a headache

>pitcher wins
red sox "fans"

>he's saving his wins for the post season
>he already has wins
>hurr fucking red sox fags and their dumb metrics

kill yourself

red sux will beat the injuns but they're not gonna take down the rangers

>red sux will beat
burst out laughing and stopped reading right there

Price is a choker. He can't win in October. What he does in the regular season doesn't matter.

>+181 run differential vs. +16
>leaders of the winningest division in all of baseball vs. getting to beat up on the A's and Anglels

lolno

>>+181 run differential vs. +16
I guess this is why the Cubs won all those games against the Dodgers and the Brewers huh? Dumbass.

NEWS FLASH:

GOOD TEAMS SOMETIMES LOSE GAMES!

READ ALL ABOUT IT!

New England fans are the absolute worst fans of any sport
Seattle a distant but powerful second

lmaoing @ ur life

Uhm, hello! That title's already taken!

Whatever happens happens ťbh

This

I'll kind of be relieved in a way if the even year meme dies. It would cull the herd a little bit of entitled dumbfuck idiot fans. Obviously I want us to make the playoffs this and every year, t just wouldn't bother me too much if we miss it this year. We're playing like shit anyways

I had a lot of fun shit posting last postseason, it'd be nice to watch some playoff baseball without stressing out like I did during 2014

;)

Whew, now time to bury the O's!

who /readyforrebuild/ here?

If the Jays miss the playoffs then all the haters will get their wish and Gibby will be gone. It won't however make the team any better and will likely finish in 5th the following years.

But thats what you pessimistfags want isnt it? Then you can bitch and moan how its all Rogers fault or its because Toronto is such a shitty sports city or whatever.

You make this city this way. People like you are absolute cancer.

why the fuck do people still care about tim teabag? he has done shit for the longest time

>implying people other than ESPN care with tim tebow

trust me people care

Yeah nah, it's >our time, my good memer
Thanks for keeping the seat warm.

Will the Blue Jays meme finally die in Toronto?

After they lose again in the divisonal round, sure.

>implying they will get to the wild card

i think they will, imo the 2nd wildcard is only gonna be like 88 games

>Team is in need of Outfielders
>Doesn't call up it's top prospects who is literally an Outfielder

Why is this allowed?

Sucks that nobody will be using /mlb/ for 3 days

...?

It's going to be /pissdrinking/ general. That's it, that's all. For 3 days

RIP /mlb/

just ignore him you cunt

>him
You just replied to him.

You just replied to him by proxy hue

good thing i don't follow tripfag drama.

Welcome to Cred Forums newfriend

>being proud of spending 5 months reading his diarrhea
>expecting others to do it happily
What's wrong with you?

>welcome to Cred Forums

sorry i don't really post in generals and don't know the culture, but thanks for confirming why they suck

Who gives a shit. Stop obsessing over him

lmao at Melky's diving play

I was only pretending to be retarded

So why can't the Dodgers win in the postseason?

...

...

How long until we can determine if a player is a busy or not? Because I'm fucking sick and tired of Yankees fans getting excited over MUH SANCHIZE

GARY IS SCARY

HAHA JOHN STERLING FUCKING END YOUR LIFE YOU HILARIOUS COCKSUCKER YOU

He's shook.

>Because I'm fucking sick and tired of Yankees fans
We all know this feel.

Yeah except we've done fuck all the past 5 years

We are finally excited about an exciting youth, is there really anything wrong with that?

can't blame them, when's the last young farm guy they've been excited about? A decade a go with Cano probably

>Cashman wanted Mike Foltynewicz for McCann back in August
That's probably why he's still in pinstripes

>Yankees sign a big free agent
>get mad that they buy players
>Yankees bring up a talented rookie
>get mad that the rookie is good

You guys are amazing

...

>4 GB for the first time since like may

HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO ME

>not gonna take down the rangers
The only reason the rags are above the sox are because they get to beat up on the A's and Angels (who have aprox. 10000 injuries)

>free game is Padres-Rockies

fucking kill me

>analslime is bad because injuries

I call bullshit

The A's are actually a pretty good ball club if you watch, their record is deceiving

still alive

questionable

The word for it is "undead," as in a zombie.

How many wins do you guys think the Cusb will finish with?
They've had a fairly easily schedule lately but It seems like they've stopped giving a shit. I wouldn't surprised if they managed a 7-6 record over the last 13 games, putting them at 101, which retardedly seems disappointing to me given how talented they are.

Good article about the embarassing state of the San Francisco Giants

I'm telling you. Some meme player is going to completely give them fits in the postseason. I don't know who that is, but I'm telling you, it will happen.

which city are you referring to? I'm not sure I know where you're talking about

From here on out, the Daddy Pissboi shitposting will be unbearable. Time to filter him if you haven't already.

>good article
>deadspin
>old and tired news with nothing new

Lol, k

That wouldn't surprise me, kinda like Murphy on steroids?

DG is probably the most quality post I've ever seen in /mlb/, if not Cred Forums and /Cred Forums/ in general. His profound insights to the game are a beacon of light.

REEEEEEEEEE

it's well-written, fuck off with the deadspin hate

So just everyday Murphy.

>deadspin
>well-written

The thing about DG is that he's so profound it's hard for normalminds to appreciate his greatness, if only I knew who he is I'd let him breed my wife for sure

a lot of their articles are.

>London mayor threw out the first pitch at yesterday's Mets game
Really? Why? I wonder what Londoners make of this.

lol

I get what y'all are saying. But if everything finally starts to click back again like it seems to be, then I want these boys back where they belong. They shine in the postseason and fuckin eh, they've played their asses off and worked hard. I want them back in the shit again.

Fucking stop you dumb leaf

I wish every old World Series was on YouTube

If anyone's got some dope hookups link me

It's an accurate depiction of luckswing, I don't see the issue.

/overcomewithdread/ here

...

You can definitely find old world series games, especially if they were god tier like 86 game six or 2011 game 6

I mean like old old though, like from the 50's and 60's. There's some but I haven't seen a lot, there's also highlights from them but it's not the same. I haven't really looked hard though

...

WHERE'S THE JOKE

it's like a cypher, you need to have seen the key strips to decode the humor behind the comics.

-_-

...

>canadian humor

more like french humor:
Called the "Cat of the Century" by a major cat magazine, Heathcliff has been an incredible success. The cat is loved and recognized by millions in all corners of the globe. In addition to being published in hundreds of papers, the comic has been animated in more than 80 television shows, published in over 50 books with over a million copies in print and featured in a full-length motion picture. Heathcliff cartoons have even hung on the walls of the Louvre in Paris.

Why do you have greasemonkey set at changing "Garfield" to "Heathcliff"?

Garfield? What's a Garfield? Is he the new Mariners relief pitcher?

Make sure you play the video game, too!
youtube.com/watch?v=Dv_trzh89Oc

All those Franco-Belgian comics and Heathcliff gets to the Louvre, what a disgrace.
>frogs

I want them to win just for Bum/Cueto our bullpen and slow offense dug us a hole. Also I don't want Cueto to opt out after next year.

Cueto seems to have fit right in with everyone, so I'd be surprised as hell if he did opt out.

And I don't think it's over just yet either, especially with Pence doing his playoff shit and trying to breathe life back into everyone.

He's probably going to honestly. The Giants could always pay him more and I'm sure he likes pitching in AT&T. And the bullpen actually hasn't hurt him a lot but you know this collapse isn't making him want to stay very much. Idk, we'll see

Just because he gets along with the team doesn't mean he won't try to maximize his value. I like the guy and hope he stays but there's no guarantee he pulls a Madbum and stays for less than his actual value.

Congratulations to Yordano Ventura on his first complete game. Also nobody BULLIED him this game which is a refreshing change of pace.

Jajaja Cueto is worth 180 now. The guy can pitch, those 4 months in KC fucked him up. He's leaving for a real contender, maybe STL or Washington. Giants #1 prospect is the #91 overall.

No future. No money. Only memories of the even meme. You got three rings Idk why u faggots get all sad. Just fuck off to the corner and stay there for the next decade.

kys imo desu

huh

A little rude.

well memed lad

I bet you really do carry this persona into your real life. There's no fucking way you don't. You're a smarmy, blonde, retarded white boy with zero to no social skills and the same amount of muscle definition to match. I'm sure the one time a month you rationalize that people won't judge you if you leave your room to socialize, you are a "WELL AKTCHUALLYYY" know it all faggot. Happy you find happiness on a message board. You make us all feel better DG. Thanks bruh.
