I'm just uppity cause Baseball is finally back.

I know. I am too. I'm just still hurting from all the .394s and Swingin' Friars I knocked back yesterday.

first day here?

Nope. Why do you ask?

Ok, a gun is put to your head and the person says he’ll shoot if you don’t pick the team you like most from each division. Asterisk your favorite team.

AL East: Rays
AL Central: White Sox
AL West: A’s*
NL East: Mets
NL Central: Cusb
NL West: Padres

>to avoid getting shot, literally just pick one team from every division, regardless of whether or not you're right.
Easiest thing in the world.

ALE: Sawx
ALC: Native Americans of Northern Ohio
ALW: Stros
NLE: Nats
NLC: Cuebs
NLW: Dasd

AL East: Red Sox
AL Central: Native Americans of Northern Ohio
AL West: Angels
NL East: Nats
NL Central: Pirates
NL West: Dads*

Honestly, I think it'd be more difficult for people to select another team from within their favorite team's Division that they like.
NL West: Giants

not really, i know what years my team is shit and i know who'll beat us. any other result is a pleasant surprise.

Doesn't hurt that he's an elite defender. Bumgarner had a pretty good day.

>tfw 2 more hours until baseball

How do I wait it out lads?

This is OP and i'm super queer dilly dilly. I love cocks!

Nice baseball threads

As a matter of fact, if you look at the squad, 3rd Base was a defensive vulnerability, so while it may not have been all of why they got him, it definitely was part of it.

And, if you still don't believe me, see Austin Hedges.

I'll search for "Team Name hat/cap, png"
And if I still can't find one I like, I'll take one with a white background, and remove it.

it can't be an early thread if it's the only general up currently.

>third time's a charm
Cliche'd sayings like that were just the memes of the 20th century

some asshat keeps making new ones without the 'general,' which isn't so big a deal but then he spams the shit out of threads that aren't his, which isn't so good.

Houspie holds the L once again!

a friendly reminder that this is the general, and spamming your random thread in a different thread is specifically against the posting rules.

BRYCE HARPER

yes, but at what cost?

Okay /mlb/ lets say I can throw a 200mph fastball with perfect placement every time. If my team goes up by 15 runs, what happens if I bean every opposing batter to the point of injury? Sure they all take a base, but eventually they’ll run out of players. If they run out of players before they get the winning run, does my team win or will I be arrested first?

I've tried this with MLB the Show before. Be the last pitcher out there so you can't be ejected since there's no other pitchers. Then set the injury slider all the way up and keep head hunting. Unfortunately the injuries didn't work as well as they should have and by the time it was 50something to 0, only 3 players on the other team had to get replaced and I was out of time so I said fuck it and quit the experiment.

You’d be ejected after the first one

man I got really good at hits right up the middle and the amount of times I’ve slapped a 100+mph line drive into a pitchers face without injury really irks me

1) The abnormally high speed for a fastball is maybe 105 mph at the high end. If you're throwing 200mph, your catcher has to be replaced every couple pitches.
2) At 200mph, the batter would die, so you'd only get one.
3) Assuming you're slowing your pitches to 85mph after your team is up by 15, intentionally hitting a batter has been frowned upon for the last 20 years, and yes, what the other user said, you'd get ejected.

PHILLIES WIN

Booo

You think I care about today? It's march. It's not even April. I'm not even worried about April. Just wait until September when the real games matter. We're talking real, hard hitting New York Yankees baseball. The kind of stuff you watch, shake and tremble as you just get a small taste of what you'll be seeing in October. 100+ mph fastballs, 130+ mph exit velocities. Big dingers and massive runs scored. Our bullpen is the deepest in the MLB. Our starting pitchers are all aces. We don't have our eyes set on the playoffs as it is already on lock. We have our eyes on the 28tth ring. Don't worry, you'll be kissing it in November.
