/mlb/ general - Remove the 4 pitch intentional walk Edition

>dodgers win
>giants win
>angels win

Good day for me (califag)

I didn't even know the Dodger post was there though, it wasn't there when I was typing and about to post. I'm bored with all that, I was just asking in general. It was just a coincidence

magic number 1

To confuse dumbasses. He says he tries to pitch to contact and that strikeouts just come but you don't maintain a k/9 of almost 12 without actually trying to get K's.

This is him being too modest.

>Ichiro has never been normal: first separated by his talent, then by language, always by the legendary habits and quirks he has built into his daily routine. When he played in Seattle, Ken Griffey Jr. started tickling him before every game. Ichiro hates to be tickled. But then Griffey stopped and Ichiro went into a slump. So he told Griffey to start tickling him again, even though it meant that every game he ran onto the field soaked in sweat. Ichiro lives at the intersection of zen, superstition and obsession.

>(before a game)
>He runs the soles of his feet over nubby massage balls. He gets on the floor and rolls a vibrating foam roller under his hamstrings and hips. He takes a brass-colored wire brush and scrubs the dirt from his cleats. He puts the cleats on with a shoehorn. He drapes his jersey across his lap, gets out a tiny pair of scissors and clips off stray threads. When he has finished, he takes a lint roller and cleans the carpet in front of his locker.

>He grabs a bat and goes to the indoor batting cage. He stores his bats in a special case that keeps them dry. He does not like them to sweat.

>on a road trip to Kansas City, he asked to meet some of the museum's staff. Museum president Bob Kendrick showed Ichiro a rare program from a barnstorming tour of Japan that a Negro League team called the Philadelphia Royal Giants made in 1927. Ichiro held the fragile paper in his hands, read from the Japanese on the cover. Then he got around to why he had come. He pulled out his checkbook. Kendrick won't say how much Ichiro donated to the museum, but he says it was the biggest donation from any active player.

Clevenger did nothing wrong.

True. Steve "Black Lives Matter as much as career BA" Clevenger stated what many of us feel.

Well, he didn't do anything he should be punished for by MLB or his team. He should be ashamed of himself as a human being.

this is what alt-right cucks really believe! sure, you have freedom of speech, which means you won't be thrown in jail for being a dumbass, but he sure as hell can and should be shamed out of the league and forced to work at Subway or some shit for the rest of his life

>99% of clevenger-defenders are non-mariners fan
>they think he's actually on the active roster

flyovers pls stop

Okay, sure, but how do you shame someone out of the league? Do you void his contract? On what grounds? Do you go to court with the player's union over it? I mean, unless there's specific language in his contract stating that he can be fired for personally held views stated on his personal twitter, you're opening a gigantic can of worms over your feelings with regard to his repugnant, but legally protected opinion.

For his career, Omar Vizquel did not swing at any of the 667 3-0 pitches he faced.

Kek what a faggot

This.

And also the fact that he didn't actually say anything racist. Speaking out against BLM doesn't mean that you hate black people, and it's retarded to suggest otherwise.

mfw we are 4 games out from winning the div

Nobody said we weren't sneaky

>Orioles

Clevenger suspended w/o pay for rest of season

lol

If you can't read through the blatant dog whistles you're fucking deluded or are just posting in bad faith

>implying it won't go down to two after we win today and giants lose

He wasn't going to play for the rest of the season anyway. And they already have enough catchers for next year. He'll probably be gone in the offseason

This is just a hilarious cherry on top the Trumbo sundae.

Also fuck off, Two Girl's Names is your revenge for Trumbo. If it wasn't for Miley we'd actually be breathing down Boston's neck.

>tfw beak to beak wild card game

No, you're a fucking idiot. Unless he tweets something outright racist (i.e., "I hate black people" etc.), or has a history of racism/racist activity, your argument that he's racist "because I read between the lines" doesn't stand up. I can say that there's a "hidden meaning" behind literally any written statement, and make that so called hidden message fit any narrative that I want.

That's basic law. They have absolutely no case of calling him racist based off those two tweets alone, and them suspending him without pay will more than likely cause legal troubles unless Clevenger decides to lie low.

Only slaveowners and people who yell the n word can be racist. gotcha

Why was he suspended? All he did was tell it like it is about the Charlotte riots and all these dindus running around. Truth hurts sometimes.

Riots are actually good

yeee Steve Clevenger is going to bankrupt the Mariners.

want him, cards fans? he's free

isn't this nigga injured atm?

Curt Schilling would make a great pitching coach for the Cardinals.

That's not what I said. I said that you have no argument that he's racist, unless you can prove that he's racist, such as the evidence that I previously stated.

Saying that you FEEL like he's racist, so therefore must be racist is fucking retarded. It's also the same line of logic that was used in Salem during the witch trials.

Would you rather have Gary Sanchez on your team or Steve Clevenger?

Yes. He broke his hand mid-season by leaving his throwing arm out in front of him and then got some other injury during a rehab.

90% of the posts i've seen have been implying that he's on the active roster.

>blaming the President of the United States for issues with race relations and police
People don't understand how the government works. People don't understand how the Constitution works. These people vote.

lol breh he called black people animals. Cred Forums retards ITT will meme on me but normal functioning people can understand why this would come with ramifications

How is this even a question desu
Does Sanchez practice occult blood religions wherein he sacrifices team mates? Where is the downside, when that's all there is with Clevenger?

According to his BBref page Steve Clevenger has earnt $2 million in his baseball career.

That's a LOT of money for a hopeless backup catcher.

he doesn't deserve total blame but he was in a unique position to improve race relations and at almost every step of the way he has squandered his opportunities. The only time his response to one of these situations was ever positive was following the attack on police in Dallas.

Are the cusb actually capable of beating the red cocks in a series?

What do David Ortiz and an animal have in common?

They were both pumped up with steroids and they chimp out.

He consistently pisses on girls' hair.

Deplorable, I know.

It's okay to admit you're a racist user. That will at least make you a more honest person than Steve Clevenger

anyone watching Brazil vs Israel?

I'm not a racist. Don't call me a racist. Steve Clevenger was using his freedom of speech and got penalized.

This is David Ortiz's WS. MLB wants to give him a send off. 4th WS in 12 seasons for the Red Sox.

shooting at cops is actually good

so the Tulsa Riots were good?

>"they need to be locked up like animals"

What's wrong with that? He's free to be a retard in public all he wants, and the Mariners are free to protect their brand from said retardation.

>Red Sox have the shittiest fanbase on here

FTFY

Most of the posts ITT are about the mets, Cubs, or NL California teams.

You clearly have no idea what freedom of speech means

There is no room for racism in baseball.

get the fuck outta here, racists.

feel free to award me with some (You)s

>the cubs entire postseason rotation is on that list
feelsgoodman

I have a rookie Bonds card when he was on the Pirates

It's this one (not this actual physical one but this make, brand, whatever)

It's worth like 5-10 bucks

when will the autism league step up

Wherever the mets find use for him, really.
He's just there for goyim bucks. Might even be an improvement over d'Arnaud. Who really knows.

maybe the orioels shoudl trade for him (attendance problems)

hnnnnng

Has Curt Schilling weighed in on this important issue yet? I need to know what Curt thinks before I can make sense of all this.

I think Machado/Davis/Britton for Tebow sounds like a good deal. That'll really help build the Orioles' farm system

Curt's a bit busy paying out the 2.5 million dollars that a court has ordered him to give due to fraud

>it's a yankees fan talking about farm systems
this will really trigger true oldf*gs

>tfw Dean Anna never became Gary Sanchez 2.0

RIP in peace

It has been so long since a Yankee RotY. Feels good that Gary will be first of many to come.

respond.

Pre steroids Bonds is awesome.

Prefer him to bald big head alien man.

Dean Anna is obviously a master of disguise, went to St. Louis and changed his name to Aledmys Diaz

...

could and should have been the second coming of Hank Aaron

and was?

He was more in the style of Willie Mays with the stolen bases and the glove and such

Same, early to mid-90's Bonds was best Bonds imo

Ump must be a jew

how do i stop being such a gay fag yankees fan here btw

Kinda feel bad for him tb h. Could you imagine being overshaowed by two vastly inferior plqyers in McGwire and Sosa who you know are doping like motherfuckers?

And Bonds is an arrogant cunt as well. Shit must have been killing him inside.

cubs or cardinals?

who will win?

cusb

Albert POOjols is not a hall of famer.

no, it's charged as a wild pitch to the pitcher

sorry, thanks

I miss you

Fuck the Mets

brazil btfo

the jews will win the tournament

For fun

>121 win team
how many tournament wins is that

feels bad. I don't want to see another america q team

Zero when faced with the superior Japanese folded bats.

I count about 90 fwar in 2008, which was the year from which they were chosen

Eh, the tournament itself was closer to the 2009 season. Either way, it's a really good team.

>waiting until AFTER the mets have their best win of the season to post this

ha ha what a faggot

but there's no way that team would be able to field fourteen hitters in the starting lineup, so isn't that calculation really inflated

Cards. It's going to be spectacular.

>Victor still batting 4th over JD

What? Verlander didn't say otherwise.

here's your reply

>a catcher that has played in 44 games but can't catch but can hit might win ROTY over a pitcher that has started all his games without injurys and played as well as veterans

not even a tiger fan but I would be mad
>most of the pundits on MLB network dick sucking sanchez when the kid can't even play his own position right but choose to ignore that and praise him for hitting singles and homers

>but can't catch
his defense is good tho

No it isn't

he is another frank thomas , good hitter , mediocre fielding

I'm sorry, big and strong american.

have you seen him behind the plate at all? He's no Posey or Molina but he's not as bad as you make him out to be. He's a good framer and has a cannon Fuck i think it was showalter who was really impressed. Also he has Joe Girardi and Tony Pena to help him improve

By what measure? Eye test?
Fangraphs, BRef, and Prospectus's defensive stats all like him, and he's also above average in framing stats. I don't see anything that would point to "can't even play his own position right"

I'm flipping back and forth between NFL network and MLB network and they're literally both talking about race relations

What in the actual fuck you guys

Mets finding new and exciting ways to kill off their pitchers

against shit teams that are already eliminated he does average

against the better teams , he has trouble and you can't be called great if all you can do is beat on the little guys , you need to show up for the big games and the boston series showed he is not ready yet

Lol, you're an idiot and you have no idea what you're talking about

NFLN will spend 10 hours on race

MLBN will spend a maximum 10 minutes

I hope you're parodying the idiots who think like this and aren't actually this stupid.

then he essentially goes missing against contending teams again

please watch our sport

Why are you showing fame results to "prove" that he's bad defensively?

It's okay dude, you can just admit that you didn't know he was good defensively

this shows he can't compete

he can not compete against contending teams in the month where everything you do matters x10

the yankees post season hopes fell when he realized that not every team is tampa or the O's

more like they fell because sanchez is carrying their shit offense and having meh pitching

As a Mets fan, its not even shocking anymore. Every position player has gone through a DL trip. Bruce is the only one healthy and is batting .170 as a met. Colon is the only pitcher to not miss a start. And our fill ins, TJ, Lugo, Gazelleman are now all starter material. Hell, even darnaud is getting phased out. They don't call them The Replacemets for nothing.

This is a late entry for dumbest post in all of /mlb/ general's 2016 season.

Buster Posey is a hall of famer at his position. Kershaw is not. That is all that I will say.

Good luck pitching without a catcher you dumb fuck.

Yeah he'll make it into the hall of fame for singlehandedly taking away the most exciting play in baseball by being a mongoloid and literally, LITERALLY sticking one leg into the basepath and straightening it so that even the slightest force could've broken it

Delete these two posts immediately before this turns into 50+ posts of memes

what would happen?

Ninny league gets disbanded for being too weak

Where does Kershaw rank all-time among LHP?

Where does Posey rank all-time among catchers?

Who do you draft first?

Please save yourself the hassle and remember to filter dumb trips that don't know anything about baseball.

> gf keeps bringing over fatty snack foods and soda
> i keep eating fatty snack foods and soda

>triggering the sf/la autists

Kershaw is easily top 10 dodgers LHP of the past 30 years.

Posey doesn't count as a catcher because he's a vagina and catchers are supposed to be tough.

Trick question. I draft Kris Bryant.

No.

>implying it's not a lock

implying you'll beat Wainright and Reyes

No.

buster posey is ten times cuter than kershaw so I think that settles the debate

would you rather be looking into this beautiful face for 150~ games a year, literally every pitch, and have 3 (THREE) rings, or have to bear kershit's ugly white trash mug every 5 games while he shits away your postseason?

Because the AL always carry an extra good hitter so AL pitching needs to be better. Then in the WS with AL rules there's the DH and NL rules the DH just sits his fat ass on 1B
The whole system is bias toward the AL winning

change of environment is a thing... do you really think that one extra batter can raise an ERA by 2 full runs? only autistic league fans

>easily top 10 dodgers LHP of the past 30 years.
??????

kershaw is top 3 LHP of all time. i know you fellas like to meme but why would you deny this?

>of all time
>still has another good 10 years left in him to become garbage

Not the same guy that made the post, but by himself the DH doesn't raise pitcher's ERA. DH combined with hitter friendly meme parks however, sure. None of the AL parks are as extreme as Coors, but they're still hitter friendly.

true, didn't even think about that

Why can't they catch a break?

Don't look now but >we just scored an entire run vs one of the worst teams in the majors

HOLD ON TO YOUR ASSES ALWC

This is the single best kershaw-related post I've ever read

Your NEW 2016 AL ERA Leader

Why do pitchers even bother with a 4 pitch intentional walk? Throwing one good bean ball would be far more efficient, and you get a chance to injure one of your opponents.

Based Brad desu

>Diamondbacks

dbacks pls

>almost 500 posts in the gamethread of a blowout with literally no fairweather stankee fans to be seen

which team has the best fans in the MLB and why is it the Toronto Blue Jays?

How tasty are Verlander's tears going to be when Sanchez beats Fulmer for RotY?

Literally put the finishing touches on the AL ROTY tonight lmao how many HRs did that faggot have tonight?

hey nerds turn on the LA game, they're doing a thing for Vin

>best "fans"

>71434086
brah the race is done. Fulmer has it hands down

Friendly reminder that THE TERRY FERRY DON'T MAKE NO STOPS.

WHO CAN STOP US?!?

Braves genociding wild card hopes

>The red sox won again
Pls stop them someone pls

why won't anyone STOP the red sox???

The >rags

...

The expanded rosters need to stop. This is creating a borderline emergency situation which is making games incredibly, incredibly slow and boring at a time of year in which they're supposed to be most exciting.

Good thing >we don't have to worry about them just yet

Red Sox so overrated, they haven't faced a single genuine ace

inb4 Tanaka, he was injured

Windians desu.

I appreciate the time that it took for someone to make this

>this
>happening
my sides
literally the next post

really makes you think

the Tanaka game was kinda impressive allowing no runs while striking out no one.

Tbqh with hue

I can't take credit. It is however perfection.

>Gary Sanchez: 3.3 WAR
>Michael Fulmer: 2.5 WAR

Really makes you _________

give it up pham. at least you got to see sanchez carry the shit yankees offense

Can we agree that Miguel Cabrera was wasted by the Tigers?

Who /ByeWeek/ here?

Lol as if the Nats are a good team

recount the exact fangraphs© WAR© calculation™ like we all can right /mlb/?

@TheBaseballGirl 2h2 hours ago
I would get "23-10" tattooed on my forehead so I never forget how 2016 started, but I don't need to because Hawk will never let me forget.

Do you feel bad for her, /mlb/?

SEETHING

she's mad

>Leads all AL rookies in WAR, despite playing time
>Leads ALL rookies in wRC+ and wOBA
>Is currently on a historic run, the likes of which has never been seen before
>Has qualified for rookie status

I don't see why you he isn't a legitimate contender. Especially when you consider that Fulmer's second half hasn't been too great.

peaked

Ramirez is based

sad

Oaklands Graveman has pitched 5 perfect innings against rags tonight. Cole Hamels is keeping it tied, though.
Also go angles!

...

Who /8 straight years postseason drought/ here?

It's official tonight but it's been known since July

Rooting for this team physically hurts

>There are countries where rape is considered a valid form of currency.

Would you at least let her rub your helmet?

She can rub mine any day she fucking wants.

>dat pimp swing

>4 straight losing seasons now

>2013: 99 losses
>2014: 89 losses
>2015: 86 losses
>2016: 85 losses (updated projected)

Hey, would you look at that! They've been improving every year!

>yfw Kenny will still Band-Aid this team for 2017 and still no one will get fired as we move to a 5th straight losing season

I just remembered that the Royals won TWO pennants in a row
like what the fuck really?

I like when he watches them

post yfw the Braves have the 4th best record in the NL since July 25th

there's like 14 people there

When's the earliest you should start a perfect game counter?

The second inning?

...

I just remembered that the Royals literally have NO fans left on /mlb/ because they were bandwagoning scum anyway

Even "decat.png" dude is fucking gone.

like what the fuck really?

haha i hated that faggot. always the first comment. havent seen him in months.

It was a weekday afternoon.

Last time decat.png user posted that for Royals was August 3rd. He posted one for the Chiefs last week though

first out

>Ken Giles

Can't wait for the Cubs to win the Worlds Eries this year. The amount of butthurt from this board and the fact that the Sox will be thrown into the dumpster and probably moved in a few years will be worth it.

after the first out obv

also captcha is now straight trolling me

Royal fans have demonstrated the absolute worst fan base over the last 3 years.
o fans when they were shit, immediately cocky when they were good, non stop shitposting when they won and back to literally no one now that they are shit again
honestly awful "fans"

...

tbf that one roylels dude was pulling some voodoo shit on the jays for ages, even through august, but I guess the return of cuckegg really does kill off the rest of the casuals

fucking trumbo

>le only hit HR team

Lmaoing @ the dbags
Lmaoing @ the WC race

of COURSE trumbo would homer today

>hit 13 homeruns one year
>then hit 44 homeruns the next year

REALLY makes me THINK

>debuting a guy in the bottom of the 12th against trumbomb

I see it's baptism by fire in arizona

>Gints

>there are "people" in chicago so butthurt they get their facts on Cred Forums and post them on Cred Forums

>there are hues that cannot handle banter

not surprised, really

Everyone needs you to spoil the Tiggers pls

s-smaller park

desperate orioles reduced to BEGGING

>Just saw that Melancon blew his first save as a Nat
>It just had to be against the Pirates

This shit just isn't fair. Just get eliminated already.

>Lastros

He changed his swing mechanics

>there are leafs who can't read

wow how pathetic of you memelord

youre lucky that roidbo bailed you out against the dbags lol

>disastros

Fuck you and wanting to move my team

It's bad enough I'm supporting such a depressing team but now I have to deal with this shit as well?

Fuck I don't want them to move ever

pilates really helped him with that

Negative my man

>mfw Ken Giles has literally destroyed leads so completely and so often that it's like he gets some kind of sick sadistic satisfaction out of it

And how many times has Big Poopi bailed out the Roid Sox?

>winning the division

>angry
>at the tigers

Stop
Trumbo is great player
Even jealous idiots like you should be able to admit that
Really, do you think hes not legit?
Only an idiot would believe that
I think youre fucking stupid
Dont insult a man who clearly works hard at his job
Stop posting

Big God-i is based as fuck do NOT insult the Large Father you stupid dumb memelord go take more steroids Mark

I saw some lads in the thread that don't want the Tiggers in. Tbh we can make our own way in the Jays series, and their last series in the maw of Boston offense.
Detroit getting roughed up is just insurance.

u mad

nice job angels

m8 the Jays just 9 spotted the cuckees and blanked em in the process, with the pisspoor state of your team i don't think you'll fare all that well against them

>Astros blow lead in the 9th

JUST

>0.1 IP, 3 H, 6 ER, 3 BB, 0 K

w e w

shut up Mark

Steroids eh?

apologize for your implication

>yfw your team's out so you can just enjoy the postseason and all these crazy wildcared chases

feels comfy desu

who?

i'm sorry ur gay

F*ck you

F*ck you

F*ck you

I legitimately hope that Giles breaks his spine tonight

ACCORDING TO REDDIT THE WHITE SOX HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM POSTSEASON CONTENTION

they didn't even give him the actual phone they just gave him the casing what a shit gift by the memelords, a classic eternal 4th place tier gift

to understand this joke you must know that after giving this gift the orioles lost

Nice season you got going there Astros.

It would be a shame if something happened to it.

>the Braves could end the season with a better record than the Phillies

HEY

FUCK

YOU

Houston's elite closer Ken Giles

Ken "destroy my team's playoff hopes singlehandedly" Giles

Ken "I get off on giving up runs" Giles

Ken "literally pitch the worst possible inning at the worst possible time" Giles

the weak should fear the strong

Hey guys, I heard that Ken Giles just did a great Dellin Betances impression. Is this true?

F*ck you

F*ck you

F*ck you

>believing in relievers that came from the Lillies

>tfw your team is on the edge of the wild card race and every game by them or the four teams ahead of them is stressful

...

F*ck you , Ken "candidate for worst offseason acquisition of all time" Giles

Jays still have a week to change their minds like they did in Anaheim.
It's basbel. Anything goes.
