They will spend hundreds of years scouting the world.

They will draft every bust; overpay every free agent.

They will spend thousands of seasons in last place.

As World Series are played, and playoff games won, and lost, and won, lost, and won, and lost, and lost, and lost.

Failures built upon failures until seasons run on an endless loop.

They will disappoint millions of fans whose own exponential offspring will slowly give up hope through the years, whose millions of pitiful lives will eventually be swept again from the Earth.

And still, the Cubs continue to lose.

They will play more games than any franchise in history, yet a championship will forever be a stranger to them.

Expansion franchises will come and go.

Cities and mascots will lose all meaning.

Until Major League Baseball vanishes entirely from the world.

And yet, the Cubs will continue to lose.

They will join the league of a popular futuristic sport.

A sport where the ball is made of pure light and played on a field of energy. Where the Cubs moniker is revered as a nostalgic god.

And the Cubs will never win it all, for millions and millions of years.

Rebuilding, playing, losing...

...until the Earth is swallowed beneath their feet
...until the Sun is long since gone
...until time itself loses all meaning

And the moment comes where the only game left to play is to guess the positions of stars and the ages of galaxies.

And still, they guess wrong.

They will lose, and they will lose, until the lights go out.

>tfw no MiLB gf

at least you admit you were wrong

You had a reasonable point, A-Rod got the prize. I don't feel it is right, but MLB does.

RIP Sale's Cy Young bid

Again in mid September for like the third year in a row now

Even with an attempted new approach to make him last longer

Life is simply unfair.

Should have traded him when they had the chance. Too bad your owner is Jerry "One more piece then we're championship bound" Reinsdorf

It's not like he's untradeable now.

>yesterday
>'so, the jays are sweeping this series today on a blue white and red safeco field'
>'we are on the division race again'

Would have been better to trade him when he had a near 2.0 RBI rather than now.

The worst part is he'll still beeline this for next year

Not only are we rooting for a constantly bottom tier sub .500 team but they aren't even rebuilding either and have no plans for the future

Thanks Jewry. Thanks...

I agree, that statement is hilariously deluded

That shit is not AAA level.

Stop replying to them by proxy.

How do we stop him before he goes to deep into the cerebral realm?

We can't do much, but we can end the Mets season in these next few games.

Get hype fellow phanatics.

>mfw trout gets one for da heim*

*in 2018

2016 MVP Daniel Murphy
2016 Cy Young Max Scherzer
2016 ROTY Trea Turner

kek, you'll have to remind me of what I'm supposed to be upset about

i wanna see Trout win one so bad

LA Angels are so damn likable, especially with Pujols

if by "good" you mean "not as good as most serious collegiate baseball teams"

>Daniel Murphy

KEK

Bryant has it on lock you turbo-faggot

Nolan Arenado would have 200 RBI in Chicago before September.

Bryant ain't shit.

you're kidding yourself right?

I'm guessing you've never watched the world baseball classic in your life?

>losing record
>mvp

Hasn't happened in the AL in 13 years and it's not going to happen this year

Mookie is for sure the AL MVP, anybody can play well when the pressure is off, Mookie is doing it in the toughest division in baseball

lol, call me when one of those pakis makes it to the majors

He probably hasn't but he's also not wrong.

Your whole argument is right but why the fuck do you post under a trip? For what purpose?

I wonder if Kluber can get to 20 wins. He's at 18 and I believe he'll get 2 starts with 11 games left. Unless they rest him for his last one since it'd be the last or second to last game of the season. Though I'd hate to mess up his rhythm like that

Also I'm starting to doubt if Lindor will even hit .300 by year's end. He's been ass these last few weeks

you are an idiot if you think any of these players would cut it in AA

yeah and he's hitting in the most favorable park, with the best lineup in the AL front to back

>brady

go fuck yourself handegg trip

Brasil have beaten actual teams with MLB players in the world baseball classic numerous times

You are incredibly naive

It's just so obvious that Mookie is going to win it, shouldn't even really need to be talked about

things used to be a lot different here

Betts has better stats in Camden Yards than in Fenway Park this season lol

ITT: Manager of the Year

>a bunch of shitty teams beat each other

you don't say

thats how most MVPs win... are you new or something?

Who are you quoting?

and you think that qualifies them as a good team for some reason?

9/10 any major league player in it sucks dick in the first place, and that doesn't equate it to an MLB team, or even a AAA team

>Brasil have beaten actual teams with MLB players in the world baseball classic numerous times
The Dutch team also best DR with Pedro Martínez pitching in the 9th inning. Pedro Martínez of you didn't know is the second greatest RHP to ever live.

Is Brasil a major league caliber team because they beat one of the top 3 countries in the sport?

International baseball is fun but incomparable to the show. The Japanese can win because their pitchers are finesse and LEGIT AAA-MLB caliber doesn't make them better than a team like Rockies.

>Is Brasil a
Are the neatherlands*
What I mean to say

Sample size

probably talking about the world memeball classic

Fenway is always top 10 for runs/game, but it is never number 1, that is a myth

and if Texas A&M rolled down there they would wreck their shit

Is Rob Manfred not Jewish?
I could've sworn he was Jewish.

Defend this pile of shit

I always thought his wife would be more attractive than that

Only because of their superior team chemistry

sorry
can't

and, you know, probably having at least a handful of future major leaguers

i don't want him starting ever again

tfw the giants will win tonight

>my face when "people" actually think the team with the best pitching depth in the NL and a top 10 offense in the MLB will miss the playoffs this season

>Justin Turner (objectively and statistically a top 5 third baseman, it isn't even debatable)
>Hyun-jin Ryu (best Pitcher in the game who will be 100% healthy, unlike the entirety of last year, he will put up 1.98 ERA, 280 SOs, and a sub 1.000 WHIP)
>Cory Seager (a top 3 shortstop already and going into this season will be fully recovered from causing all those errors in the NLDS (2.9+ dWAR, .290 BA )
>((((Joc Pederson))))(literally a top defensive outfielder that is way better than just a platoon guy .700 OBP)
>Josh Reddick (top 10 hitter in the NL 35 HRs, .700+ slg,)

>Best Bullpen depth in the NL
>Best pitching staff in the MLB

Barring major injuries to key players, there is literally no way the Dodgers are losing the NL west this season

The Dodgers WS win drought ends in 2016-2017

You can't prove me wrong

Cap it

It seems like college baseball is for smart people who want to have 4 years of happiness and being a big jock on campus before they become poorfags and make $1000 a month playing for the Montgomery Biscuts

Why can't every postseason team lose? Why does there have to be a winner

>implying the tibe wont win one for da land

>college
>4 years of happiness

well I'd rather him than Plawecki spelling Rivera

BUMSHIT BTFO BY REDDIT

and also the best way to break into the majors, are you retarded son?

Dodgers fans literally spent $700 on Madison Bumgarner's page?

Holy shit...how obsessed can you be?

8/10 MILB players never even play a game in the show. I guarantee you some bust coming back for his 2nd year of A ball is nostalgic about his college days with metal bats

what's your point?

how many brazilian national team players have become major leaguers?

Pretty pathetic desu

they have money saved from all the playoff tickets that were refunded

dodgers v rangers, family

dodgers in 7

literally obsessed

Doyers are THE worst fanbase i've ever seen.

They are so bigheaded for having such little success, remind me of Liverpool

reminder that all of these detailed elaborate posts only makes the sweat stand out more on your brow

they still have one of (if not the best) rotation in baseball

Honestly sanchez fucking sucks, twins got this.

They're not beating Verlander though

Find a single flaw.

Can their hitters handle heat? Can they do it when the temperature is cold? Wasn't it what caused their downfall against Mets in the NLCS last October?

mlb.mlb.com/r/article?ymd=20160922&content_id=201699298&vkey=news_mlb&c_id=mlb

Really makes you think

Whatever happened to qtball?

inflated win column from playing in a shit division

...

I don't believe that for a second

I bet a lot of other Tigers have eaten ass well before his time

The franchise has a literal fucking curse on it. How does everyone ignore this?

>tfw I was asleep

it ended a while ago
Japan won

Didn't Avisail Garcia eat Prince Fielder's wife's ass?

sounds like you want thole back you got yourself a deal my friend

really makes you think doesn't it soxbros

Discuss.

why the fuck is Ortiz the betting favorite to win the AL MVP

>retirement tour
>people actually believe that someone can't be MVP because the rest of their team sucks, regardless of their stats.

Those are definitely two big factors

I never understood how a DH could win the MVP

>Guy plays 4 AB's a game
>SOO VALUABLE.

Sorry huebro, Betts is winning MVP. They wont give MVP to a player on a losing team.

Murphy will get NL MVP
Betts will get AL MVP

when those 4 AB win championships?

Chill. The Red Sox haven't even clinched a postseason berth yet.

both are mediocre picks, but i wouldn't doubt it

>sox are 0-5 when eaton hits a leadoff homer
wew

I'm just saying, belittling the impact of a DH like Ortiz is just, pointless

He has single-handedly perpetuated playoff series' multiple times and has already won a WS WVP

MVP*

they're overrated

Agreed, dude

Rosenthal and the BBWA lead me to believe that MVP is synonymous with best statsitical ballplayer. Is this right?

You don't win ROY after playing 50 games

Guys the cardinals are unironically going to win a wild card spot
What the actual heck

Another one bites the dust

mobile.twitter.com/MLB/status/779051146975510528

This, it would be retarded if they gave it to him

unless the yankees magically make the playoffs, then actually i think he would deserve it

He qualifies for the award, and his stats are just fucking stupid enough to put him in the conversation.

WOW THE ST. LOUIS CARDINALS ARE GOING TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS
HOW EXCITING AND INTERESTING
HOW UNUSUAL
REALLY EXCITES MY NEURAL PATHWAY

Let me riddle you this /mlb/,,

What does Hillary and the Cusb have in common?

neither one will visit the white house in 2017

It's already happened senpai. Willie McCovey in 1959. He only played 52 games

winner

No what's interesting is that this is the worst cards team in recent memory and the mest and giants were supposed to be blowing them out of the water at this point. Not even a cardinals fan but it's bizarre that they still have a shot.

He basically carried a dead carcass for 50 games. He seriously has stupid numbers.

Yeah

I find it funny how it makes it look like people actively don't want women in the Majors. If a girl was able to throw a 98 MPH fastball consistently and with control you'd bet your ass a team would sign her. Especially in the AL

If only you could do this against good teams

Seething

Can she even get her free outs with that?

>I'm sorry

Shits about to get real

"I have to say I'm sorry"

OH SHIT OH FUCK OH SHIT OH FUCK

Well, fuck. I don't think someone should get it for playing 1/3 of the season even if he is putting up crazy numbers. It would be like giving it to Joc Pederson last year because he had a great first half.

Huh?

It's nothing

What did gook moot mean by this?

i hope he's apologizing for his racist and frankly disgusting attitude in linking to that incredibly insensitive 'news' story

Cubs or Dodgers?

Noooooo this is flaring up my autism

When is it okay to bunt?

When you have a runner on base and you don't spend your time tweeting stuff and actually train bunts.

It's literally the easiest thing in baseball, and yet Major Leaguers seldom can do it the right way.

They also have a highlight reel of him hitting Homers against the Yankees
Based birds

FUCKING NEVER.

Fuck Rob Manfred

There's going to come a time when we look back fondly on Selig's tenure and wish he was still commish. That is a world I simply don't want to live in.

I can't wait for the retarded changes he will make this offsesaon as he continues his undying and paradoxical quest for MOAR OFFENSE and SHORTER GAMES

Padres have hit 40k at home a few times this year. It's pretty realistic that a female MLB player's debut would draw that crowd

...

Suggestion: just don't watch the show

Don't tell me what to do. This show is teaching me not to listen to naysayers.

can someone post clips of the show, i want to laugh

Wow. This show is great. Tune in on Fox, guys!

>start
I thought she was a Reliever
She's not a starter, right? Tops out in the 80s

No man. She's on the Padres rotation. Look it up

nice bait

Didn't you watch the Dads game last night? She got BTFO. Everyone was watching that shit, dude.

>there is somebody reading this that doesn't know it's a tv show

It's a fox show. I know you're probably reverse triple memeing, but still

When the fuck did the Padres sign a woman?

WHat the fucks goin.on

GO TWINKS!

I don't get fox TV. I've been thoroughly rused. Well done /mlb/

wtf i love the padres now

Will someone update the /sweepdians/ image?

no man, false alarm it's just a meme. I got memed pretty hard. It's a TV show about a woman in the majors.

I can't, the guy who usually updates it hasn't done it yet. I'm patiently waiting. That way I can delete the last one.

I just wonder if pissboi can factor her womanhood into his adjusted ERA formula...

Can someone confirm?? Did the padres not actually sign a woman?

this leaf is confusing me

Yeah it doesn't happen that often but it does still happen every once in a while. Usually when a manager gives a pitcher one last chance to get his shit together and it becomes obvious that he just can't do it

I would unironically sign Tebow before her

>it costs $155 to sponsor a team's page
>65 posters in this thread
>If like half of those people pitch in $5, we can plaster a team's page with memes
I'm thinking >rags but maybe you guys have something better

Twinks pls

Yes they did

Based Preller does it again

Patience lads patience

I would like to ask why (and how) the first game she played in was the ASG, unless I misunderstood the promo material and the banner on their twitter

Top cringe

WOW. how long is she signed for

HE'S GOING FOR IT ALL

9 year $215 million united states dollars

10yrs/$300 million

Basically a Cano contract

11 years, 350 Million $

>yfw she contracts a """flexor mass strain""" and is nevertheless traded to Boston for primo prospects

Yankees are going to trade their entire farm system for her then buy back all the the top prospects once they develop on free agency and take the next 10 world series.

wtf i hate jose reyes now

Lmao no, perfext time to get hot, clinch early enough to rest up, and then glide into the playoffs

Rest of the league is SHOOK

Tebow is at least athletic and able yo compete against men at a collegiate level, plus he would draw crowds regardless of if he sucked or not. A woman has no chance of ever competing against men and is a novelty act that would wear off fast. What's the fastest pitch a women's ever thrown? Maybe 80 if she was on roids?

not ready at all for a wildcard bros

always had the subconscious thought that we'd take the division but seeing as we've all practically handed it to the sox now i'm gonna have to get some anti-anxiety meds

Wait, what he do on twatter?

Oh, and thanks for the pitcher who...well, sucks and has back spasms now. Enjoy the prospect we would've ruined with our coaching.

I approve

Tigers have officially won their game against the Twins and have moved a half game ahead of the O's to take the 2nd wild card spot.

I TOLD YOU NIGGAS TO FINISH THEM OFF WHEN YOU HAD THE CHANCE

MEET YOUR DOOM.

>one game playoff

They are tied bro

>handed it to the sox
No, the sox took it.

Tigers have 1 less loss

No they didn't. They just got handed the division on a silver platter.

racist dog whistle stuff, the usual.

I like miranda. he and karns will be fighting it for the 5th spot

this is Cred Forums, teams never do well, teams can only choke

Never 5get

And orioles 1 more win. In baseball standings that's a tie.

Apparently hes a racist for tweeting these

Whatever you say

...

You probably have the most stress inducing last week, too.

he's right though

that's not even racist, just nihilist

That's standard white supremacist coded language anonymous.

chase utley is fucking incredible. i wish i could have seen him back in the college years when he was here at ucla

>mlb social media interns

ok

but they don't?

detroit has 82 wins though shitlord, they played a double-header today and won both

aahahahaha holy fuck the orioles suck dick

Oops sorry user. The standings page didn't update yet

>yfw Clevenger is a Cred Forumslack

We can go on all night senpai

Wow. I'm beginning to believe that Adam Jones was correct when he said that baseball is a white man's game. Really makes you think.

>all appalachian rednecks are Cred Forums

I'm glad bat flips have become a lot more accepted in the past year or two.

What does it feel like to win a pennant but lose da Eries

Better than not winning the pennant?

I'd rather lose the pennant than win it and lose the WS

>This damage control

>What does it feel like to do better than 28 other teams in MLB

Not too bad actually

> Reddick

Rags fans, on a scale of 1-10, how badly does that bat flip trigger you?

...

2bh I think he was hacked. I mean this shit reads like your typical Cred Forums bait post. Not even Curt Schilling is that blatant.

And I don't think any major leaguer is stupid enough to say that when they're currently a shitty injured AAA-tier player who could easily get cut at any moment. You have to be at least a 2 WAR player to get away with tweeting that.

God fucking dammit Clevenger

fuck you

Curt Schilling basically called for a gestapo police force on fb. But ok

It's okay breh. Him getting cut won't hurt us at all. He isn't worth shit anyways. Right now he's the injured backup to the backup to the backup catcher

The fuck?

I know, but I hated the Trumbo trade from the beginning and this is just cherry on the top.

That was back when the American League was pretty much brand new and the meme league

Actually after googling his shitposting history, yea he was pretty loud and proud about it. I was wrong about that. Hard to remember someone who stopped being relevant months ago 2bh.

>Implying it isn't still the meme league

It's okay. He just had a court settlement the other day in a fraud case and is being forced to pay like 2.5 million.

he needs to be put out of his misery

It was a good idea at the time to get rid of Trumbo since they would have had to pay him ~9 million, and literally nobody expected this kind of season from him. They REALLY should have gotten more for him than fucking clevenger tho

>trading with da o's

Royals

Describe'em in one word

CYA?

lol

he's going to just assblast toronto in the wild card game

You got karma points for the trade deadline, honestly.

Orson

Batteries

JUST

It might be Fulmer actually

>implying

It still is the meme league (though for different reasons) and will always be the little brother league.

At least the Miranda/Miley trade worked out.

Why does Donaldson always get so assblasted after he strikes out?

He was all over the umps in all three games of the Mariners series.

Corey Kluber is the MVP of the team that will have the best record in the AL, and he probably won't even win the CYA.

Someone has to have watched an Indians game for anyone to know these facts, and nobody has watched an Indians game in years.

...

>best record in the AL
>four-digit attendance
hmm

Did anyone watch Pitch?

Steve clevenger did nothing wrong

>Rockies

Steve Clevenger did everything wrong

...

>lost to a team that had to throw a bullpen game after their starter was knocked out

Up here:

Steve Clevenger just says what we're all thinking

All these cliches and platitudes lmao

baseball players are truly boring people

>Giants bullpen

oh god, is the gints bullpen going to blow this game?

At least he owned up to it and didn't go with the "lol wtf I was hacked" excuse. I'll give him that much.

>tfw no response

>I'm not racist, I have some black friends that can vouch for me
Bravo Clevenger, bravo.

Lmao

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-apology_apology

I love mike trout

...

What happened to the braves in 2013?

what did i miss

What's your favorite non-apology apology, lads? I'm partial to "i apologize if anyone was offended"

Should there be a process by which players can be votes out of the Hall of Fame? Some of those guys the Veterans/Old Timers Committees voted in there are so, so bad and undeserving. Or should we leave it alone for eternity?

That's just mean.

wew
Couldn't have picked a worse market to make those comments than Seattle.

ROCKOS BTFO

lmao that nigga got hype after that catch in SD

Yes. Remove Nolan Ryan. We'll also need to remove Jeter once he's inducted.

Wouldn't it be worse if he made them while he was still in bodymore murderland?

Guys. The Mets hit a game tying home run in the 9th and a walk off in the 11th. 9/11. The first home run was a two run shot, and the 2nd was a 3 run HR. 2+3=5, 5 sides to a pentagon. The Pentagon, which was crashed into on 9/11. Something fishy is going on here boys...

Do athletes even write their own statements? Do their agents write them?

That was one of the worst written apologies i've seen. Worse even than all the "i don't know how this russian horse tranquilizer could have possibly made its way into my blood stream"

he definitely wrote it himself

>9 runs on 11 hits

Yeah, he's been getting shit on by local bloggers.

The really liberal fans want him cut immediately.

The sad thing is, he's still better than Iannetta.

In honor of Baltimore Orioles rookie Trey Mancini's second career home run.

[clay davis voice] sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit

This is what PR Departments are for. Unfortunately though, Clevenger decided he could control the damage himself. Bad decision.

...

I will always find it funny that Verlander has a bigger ass than her.

Likely, yes. Especially with someone like Jonesy on the team. (If hasn't already, expect him to chime in)
But Seattle is liberal as all fuck, like reports, the media there isn't going to forget about it, and will sic mobs on him. Good thing he's done for the season.

that "sweat" looks like sperm

>remove Nolan Ryan and Derek Jeter
Why?
Don't you realize that the Hall has wasted plaques on guys like Travis Jackson and Rick Ferrell?

Yeah people here don't want him on the team (not that they really did before). I just thought since Orioles had more black players and Bmore is maj. black he would be dropped quicker. could depend on how your city retroactively views the unrest too

THEY DIDNT BLOW THE GAME

Nice dogots

When does the pain go away

witnessed

Bretty gud

What's your team's rebuild plan? When are they expected to be a good team again

Dude, it been 108 years since the last WS win.
>It's not too late to collect the 108 stars of destiny to break the curse.

Next year should be an over .500 year. (at least 80 wins anyway)

This year's goal was 70 wins we're getting it tomorrow vs. the disastrous Mets.

But i can't tell which of these pitchers are the real thing

Question: what happens if the wildcard race ends in a three way tie?

r u kitten me rite meow

pistols at dawn

m.mlb.com/news/article/59527184/playoff-tiebreaker-rules/

No more baseball ever.

>NYC hails a Cab(rera)! Met's HR wows Citi
this kind of shit needs to stop

They have some clever ones sometimes

never. its all awful

Daddy

>No.

fuck you. the headline is the most disparate of all poetic forms

they are shitty attempts at puns and nothing else

How do you throw a knuckleball lads

You're just ants at a picnic.

holy shit btfo

damn........

jfc will user EVER recover?

this is just embarrassing buddy

got heem

good lord

I don't get it

He meant that that guy was being a real thorn in his side!

Fucking got heem dead to rights

BTFO

Picnics are enjoyable. Ants are not.

>3 games against the Twinks
>4 games against Oakland

pls don't choke M's.

They have to go like 8-2 bro. I gave up hope after the jays beat us twice

fangraphs.com/coolgraphs.aspx?lg=AL&div=A&stat=wc

Hi r/baseball! Put me in the screenshot!

I still believe senpai.

Its a longshot, but there's a chance

...

never
the braves will successfully rebuild and the phillies will kind of just hang out in 3rd or 4th place with maybe a meme season here or there to get your hopes up after the marlins drop back into the cellar
the only good thing for you is that mike trout will probably be a phillie, either via trade or free agency

can you faggots fucking go away already holy shit
stop messing with otherwise exciting postseasons scenarios

>yfw Brad outmemes Gibby in the Wild Card

>mfw there are people that think the AL wildcard will be anything but ALE teams

I can't wait to watch Colon make history when he throws a Bartol-no hitter against the Cardinals in the WC game.

>mfw a canadian talked basedball near me

...

>never
You know the Phillies have multiple prospects and will have a payroll of literaly $0 contracts in 2018? Phillies are 5 years away from being in the post season. The Braves are just as close.

what if I told you rebuilds don't always work

new tbhwy

the braves are a meme, they'll never be good again. 2013 was their last chance and they choked vs. the doyers

>canadian IP

no

We're on the back foot now. You might knock us way out if we can't take the series in Toronto.
Hoping we can slump bust vs the Sneks. We tend to play shit vs shit teams, but O's have been great vs the NL this year.

why the fuck are athletes still allowed twitter?
