hi there
I apologize

Ok, just wondering, how would team flags would work in MLB?

please dont put the rainbow flag in an team joke, i wanted to do this experiment seriously

Attached: flag_t_m.gif (140x94, 4K)

So are we going for a dodgers threepeat? how many times can the dodgers possibly lose?

Reckers ass fans just love a good slamming. You could fuck them any damned way as long as you smile while doing it.
Recker is brainless Wojak. How else can you explain the existence of Recker posters?

baseball is inherently racist. Look at the low number of black players. Baseball has no diversity and has done nothing to address it.

Doyers sure af aren't

Baseball is inherently American and meritocratic, MLB's demographics reflect America's population demographics better than any other.

this was suposly to represend what team?

There probably isn’t a sport where the individual is more under a microscope. The stat keeping can kinda makes excuses irrelevant.

>how many times can an LA team lose

A LOT

>this was suposly to represend what team?
Ham Fighters!!! :)

How do you mean, user?
Could you try to summarize how they work in Nippon?
I'd love to give you a hand, and possibly make a mock up for the Dads for you but I have no frame of reference to come from in doing so?

explain the lack of diversity then, without being racist

There isn't one.

Generally speaking, black people are more interested in basketball.

but i meant MLB teams user
also Fighters already have an flag

Attached: flag_f_m.gif (140x94, 6K)

such a small pic

But MLB teams do have flags. What are you on about?

>Look at the low number of black players.
Ongoing economic disparity means that growing up, the poorest communities cannot afford the best sports equipment, so sports like basketball and soccer take off as they require less of an investment to play.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

>Could you try to summarize how they work in Nippon?

well, in Japan, each team has own flag, like was nations

During games they put the flags of the teams on scoreboard along NPB Flag, Japan Flag and the League Flag

show me the flags

I know. And you said this was a serious post. I just wanted to get a Nippon-Ham Fighters joke in before this discussion got serious.

In the case of that one, is Soft Bank the owner of the team, or the name of the Stadium?

are you posting on a really small computer

Soft bank are the corporate overlords

Yes

Cost to play: Hockey > Football > Baseball > Soccer > Basketball

Football is the outlier in the cost to play for blacks. I wonder if it’s charity propping up inner city black football programs.

This is an outrage!

Attached: Co23IxmUEAAyadn.jpg (600x396, 20K)

touch and flag football don't need any pads or helmets, just a ball

at its core football is just as cheap as soccer to play, even basketball needs hoops while soccer and football can use any simple markers (or even no markers) for their goals/endzones, baseball needs at least a stick to go with multiple balls unless you're using the same one over and over, and hockey may as well be a rich kid's sport compared to the others

neither does tackle if you aren't a pussy :D

I’m wondering how the inner city funds full contact football. When I played it was like 500 a year. I imagine most poor families can’t afford that.

kekkers

This is what I just came up with.
Simple, has the City identifier, and team name, along with the classic logo/mascot.
A cursory look led me to either a flag with columns on the edge of each color of the team color scheme with the Swinging Friar in the middle, or more recently, just the SD in the middle.

Attached: Dads Flag Mock Up.png (1500x1000, 70K)

You must include the friar. This looks awesome.

This thread is extremely low quality

One of the two elements should be considerably smaller, the SD or the friar. They're competing for attention.

that is nice
idk if you want edit it but fridar on middle using the SD cap would look an nice flag

t. White supremacist

So is your Mom's snatch. Your giant watermelon head wrecked that bitch. I'm sorry that I had to be the one to tell you.

>be houston
>lose

Would you suggest a flag sized big enough to have the friar clearly in the middle with enough space to have the SD in the upper right hand corner big enough to not look ant-sized, but not so big that it detracts from the friar?

This was my first idea, yeah. Another would be to have the SD almost as small as a trademark sign at the lower right of the large friar in center.

You mind making some smug Padres wojak/pepes?

>How to Use WAR:

Perhaps one of the most controversial aspects of sabermetrics is the way in which WAR is used. Given the nature of the calculation and potential measurement errors, WAR should be used as a guide for separating groups of players and not as a precise estimate. For example, a player that has been worth 6.4 WAR and a player that has been worth 6.1 WAR over the course of a season cannot be distinguished from one another using WAR. It is simply too close for this particular tool to tell them apart. WAR can tell you that these two players are likely about equal in value, but you need to dig deeper to separate them.

However, a 6.4 WAR player and a 4.1 WAR player are different enough that you can have a high level of confidence that the first player has been more valuable to their team over the given season.

Philadelphia rumored to be eyeing Mookie Betts in the future

I imagine Harper regrets going to the Phillies already. The only reason he signed with that team was to play with Trout. Now he's stuck in a shitty town he hates for 13 years

The Phillies are fucking done. They ain't getting shit

Keuchel and Kimbrel are both massively overrated players who both deserve 3 year deals at best. Keuchel's well over 30 and his track record speaks to inevitable decline and no closer deserves top dollar anymore because relievers apparently can grow on trees. So why should they be getting big money?

HARPER BTFO! Fuck that wannabe boomer.

Based, and good morning.

Also they got gifted ohtani and proceeded to waste him while destroying his arm. Them having a super boomer manager who loves incredibly bad catchers didn’t help either.

How will Ausmus do?

Likely way better since he isn’t stuck in the 60s.

How much does Trout keep after taxes? Someone did the math and realized that Harper would need over $520m to match the $330m Harper got in Philly. Completely irrelevant though, the Angels continue to spend and keep the best player in baseball for his career. Maybe with an improving farm and pitching staff the Angels can get good during the Pooholes years

I am curious, how would you guys feel if the Padres decided to bring back the Friar more prominently among their branding, but with a modernized design. Still honors his place within the franchise, but a modernized design. Technically they are honoring their history, but do you think they lose something by dropping they Hannah Barbera-like aesthetic?

where is Hanley's 4yr/$88M deal? or the legendary Pujols contract with the Angels - 10yrs/$254 million, at age 32?

Say Hey wasted two of his prime young years in the Army because of the draft, Hammerin' Hank was able to dodge. If you reasonably add two 30 HR seasons to Mays' career (he hit 34 the year he came back), he also breaks Ruth's record. He was also better defensively covering more ground in center instead of right field, stole twice as many bases, had higher OBP and SLG and comparable BA, played much fewer games being protected at first base, and never got to DH like Aaron did after the Brewers switched leagues.

I'd want them both in my all-time outfield, and I'd still hit Aaron third while Mays would lead off, but only because Mays was an elite base runner. Mays would be the captain of both the outfield and the whole team. Both are absolute GOATs at their position, Mays at the harder position to no discredit of Aaron.

Not Philthies contracts, so automatically better

MLB isn't really an international league, but there's about 10 baseball countries with a combined population of around 400 million, so it's pretty popular. The only true global sport is soccer. All other sports are contained to 5-15 countries where the majority of their following comes from.

The US is the largest consumer market in the world, and baseball, despite the memes, is the solidly the number 2 sport. So the league makes a shitload of money.

Because owners are dumb.

>about 10 baseball countries

I should specify "other than the US."

Because the MLB generates so much revenue, you have to put the premier league and bundesliga together to get the revenue the MLB makes on its own.

>realized that Harper would need over $520m to match the $330m Harper got in Philly.

Shit, I thought the first Harper was supposed to be Trout, because it's redundant as fuck writing it twice. Still no need to get so defensive when I did read the rest of the post and it had nothing to do with just "doing the math" concerning the largely unknown numbers and plans. You fucking retard

He's literally the greatest of all time in a sport that continually makes money hand over fist. His rate is based on what other, not as talented, players have received very recently.

What do you mean? It's tomorrow morning. The A's/Mariners games are going to count toward their regular season record.
You gonna wake up to watch it on ESPN, /mlb/?

You serious? One of these team will be first place in the AL West for 9 days.

When is the NFL going on strike? Trout's deal is pretty much all of their big FA deals last week combined.

When will they learn?

They can if they get btfo'd by the Nats and Mest this year at every showing this year. They also wasted 330 million for a guy who cant hit, gets hurt, and is a head case over fixing that shitty pitching outside Nola plus the even more abysmal bullpin they have

Now he's going to want out of Philly before the Season Opener, and beg Scott Boras for one of his other clients to intentionally give him a season ending injury ball throw now.

All they need is pitching and they have a super based lineup for years to come

Tell me about it.

You put the 7 where the 8 is supposed to be

You only have Realmuto for two years and McCutchen is beyond his prime, although they should both be good this year. I think you're overestimating your window. That's reserved for teams with ridiculous depth like the Dodgers or the Yankees.

He's gonna waive his no trade clause in the next few years lol. He only went to Philly in hopes of playing with Trout

Imagine the banter on Yea Forums in the 19th century

Segura is very good too. The NL East is wide open. Don't kid yourself into thinking otherwise.

Realmuto is gonna extended

I knew it

Fixed that for you ya woke poser

>leaves in 2 years

ASTROS WIN AGAIN

>.279 career average
no

>Batting Average
Ruben Amaro, is thst you?

Batting Average and pitcher wins. These are the stats real baseball fans care about

The Phillies would be lucky if they get a wildcard spot in the next 10 years

lel note the shift he made

who

For me it’s batting average.

Right on, brother. Batting Average and RBI are all I need to know who the good players are

so how bad do you think the poodres and philthies will do this season?

Neither breaks 500

500 wins is a lofty goal, yes

Can't speak for the Phillies, but I expect the Dads to land around mid-70 wins, tops.

Phillies will do better than the Padres this season but ultimately the Padres are gonna be more successful down the line with their farm. The Phillies basically bought their team and still aren't good enough to contend deep into the playoffs anytime soon

Padres will win more games than the Phillies.

Padres-Phillies NLCS for the next 10 years
Neither ever wins WS though

The Padres have even worse pitching though

Not saying they're good, but how have they become worse?

Than the Phillies, the team in comparison. And thats despite the Phillies fielding the worst defense in decades last year, as well as the Padres having a pitcher leaning park

This is not a hard thing to do, that's like saying Vodka will get you drunker than milk.

The Padres are actually trying to build a pitching staff. You will begin to see it this year
The lillies have one pitcher they drafted in the top 10 of the draft and that's it.

>Draft position matters
Mickey Moniak confirmed Hall of Famer

You're right. I'm just saying the Phillies don't know how to develop pitching. They're not doing a good enough job acquiring outside help. When they had Halladay, Oswalt, and Lee, plus Hamels who was home grown *cracks* now THAT was a pitching staff *sips*

I mean, they rebuilt a rotation on trades for prospects. And while I'm not one to say the 2018 staff was amazing, they were bit by bad luck and worse defense.

fucking idiots. I mean, Mookie Betts and Frankie Lindor have to be drooling right now, but shit ...

Freeland Marquez and Anderson aren't bad

>Angels are even dumber for letting him go

philthies are in a total seeth rn lol

when are mlb players gonna start to collude and create super teams

he's not a CF, for starters. At best, he could be LF or 1B/DH. So you're paying a ton of cash for a really good bat in the lineup. Until he's 40.

four years ago? hell, 45 years ago when free agency started.

There are six team with unlimited buying power and another five teams that could try to compete for a playoff spot. everyone else might as well tank. In a way, it's a return to baseball of 100 years ago.

Never because superstar players want large figures for 8+ years and owners are weary of giving contracts like that out so freely. This would never work in baseball without a stupid amount of self sacrifice. It takes more than 2 players to turn a team into a superstar team unlesss you have a good farm system to supplement that (in which case the last half of their years will be spent on a tanking team) and the team wouldnt want to pay young talent that arises. Unless a team is willing to shell out $2 billion on 26 year old players until they are 40 for not even a guarantee that they will be great then it won't happen

Once they start to see Trout flounder (lol) in LA. Angels will string together a few more medicore seasons, Trout will start to take shit for not winning, and other stars will join up together to avoid being stuck by themselves on a bad team like Trout is now

430 million 12 Years LOL

Until their young core become free agents and they wont have any money after blowing it on Harper realmuto and whoever else later down the line. Also funny how they complain about needing pitching but also supported trading their big right handed prospect for realmuto.

Free land is the only one there that is good enough to start on the doyers. Not trying to be a dick I’m just sayin

I’ll be honest
Fuck the cubes
But fuck the AL more

Sixto was coming off an injury and was not the same player. Realmuto is a top 1 player at his position, I loved Sixto as a Phillies fan but it was a good trade.

I have one of those in the fridge at home, user.
Hell, those are pretty muh all I drank the week they signed Machado. It's still enjoyable to have a couple of Dads brews, instead of just one.

Piazza was based. At least he could block the plate without getting crushed.

>Piazza
not him ya dingus, his only crime was being a poofter

Avila

And I should say Avila's dad and Lasorda himself fucked catching, not Avila himself

ignore the old ass boomers, ZOOMERS ARE TAKING OVER

I just don’t think they should let people catch when their ankles are made of glass from all the onions they drink.

I meant onions fuck autocorrect lol

the absolute state of onions posters, can't even post o.nions, poor o.nionsboys

>The Harper vs. Trout prospect debate has been resolved conclusively to this point: the former is a heck of a player and the most marketable commodity in baseball;

There was never once for a single moment a debate. Jeter and Arod are still better known outside of baseball than its "most marketable commodity". Literally and I mean L I T E R A L L Y no one outside of baseball knows who Bryce Harper is. He fucking signed, how much longer are we going to propagate the myth of brooce hopper

Mad, at Bryce Harper?

If Bryce Harper signed for the yankees or red sox, Yea Forums would hail him as the second coming.
Since Yea Forums is biased against Philadelphia, all you hear is negative shit about him.

One of those TMZ retards described Stanton and Judge as the new Arod and Jeter to that boss of theirs on tv

>nuggets

Truth

BK SPICY NUGS ARE $1.50 WORTH OF GOLD IN YA MOUF BOI

I'm pretty sure Judge is way better known now with his Yankee exposure. Fucking Stanton's alter-ego Mike Stanton is better known

The Phillies have always been gigantic losers

We'd all be laughing a lot harder

You're a dumbass. Marquez is the best pitcher on the entire staff. Combine the Dodgers and Rockies staffs and Buehler would be 1 and Marquez would be 2. I'm not even a Rockies fan

cute

No, I’d be saying Bruce hooper is a fucking clown and cancer just like I am now
