what type of shitty trades you think that they will do?
Asher Smith
If they trade Sogard/Galvis itll be for busts. Stroman might get one half-bust but nobody is offering anything close to his value.
Jays want Garcia for Stroman from the Yanks and they wont budge like they thought they would need prospects on a WS team or something. Probably just want to screw us over and offload him to the Orioles.
Basically the entire league is conspiring to ruin my Jays I have the evidence in poorly crafted newspaper clippings all over my wall to prove this
I like Marcus Stroman as a Yankee fan but I only really see a #2 caliber pitcher at most, his SIERA concerns me a lot.
Easton Sanders
>SIERA Is this in the realm of SPARKie and PORKieposting in NBA? What the fuck kind of acronym is that stop making shit up to justify not gibe prospecting and gibe prospects already
>implying the Yankees will make it that far You have zero pitching lmao
Brayden Foster
> They'll be lucky to get 2nd, but the indians and A's are getting the wild card spots
Carter Price
red sox will win the division
Owen Bailey
yeah and my ass talks
Aaron Nguyen
I mean, the indians managed to come back into contention from a seemingly insurmountable deficit, so all hope is not lost for the bosox and rays as of yet it'll take a big rally and at least an equally big yankees slump
Jayden Taylor
>SIERA quantifies a pitcher's performance by trying to eliminate factors the pitcher can't control by himself. But unlike a stat such as xFIP, SIERA considers balls in play and adjusts for the type of ball in play.
>For example, if a pitcher has a high xFIP but has also induced a high proportion of grounders and pop-ups instead of line drives, his SIERA will be lower than his xFIP.
Marcus Stroman’s SIERA is 4.39 this year, which is worse than Boyd and Ray respectively.
Sebastian Reed
Red Sox will sweep the yankees this series, sweep the rays next series and sweep the yankees in that series and will be in first place of the division before the 2nd week of week of august
cashner is going to get blown out but not as badly as paxton
> Sox wasted all their offense last night this red sox offense is even better than their offense last season, they score 10 runs every other game and 6+ seemingly most of the time
Juan Brown
yankee fans take Yea Forums so fucking seriously lol
>tfw I want to shitpost with Barve fans about this rivalry but I know just how volatile the Phillies are It's pretty much a coin toss whether or not they fucking sweep the braves or get swept by them right now. This series basically defines whether or not the Phillies Buy around the edges or sell around the edges

Mets are matching expectations as usual.

They were supposed to take the divison this year what with the barfs being reliant on flash in the pan rookies and the philthies wasting 330 million dollars on a cancerous bum.
Mets fans genuinely thought they were contending for the division this season. Poor bastards.
Ian James
Crazy how Harper turned out to not be that cancerous bum everyone thought he was. Yet nobody in DC has ever stepped up to defend their own locker room since he signed

March Madness, but baseball, with HS kids, and they are Japanese and thus way to serious and totally nuts. Tons of weird traditions like bands, too many bunts, and all in the sweltering heat.
You can only give me (You)s if your team has ever won a playoff series
Dominic Diaz
so literally every team?
Jayden Collins
Cubs game on in 1 bong and 46 bings.
William Reed
Nope. one team had their first playoff appearance in 2012, and has never won a series.
Kevin Nguyen
Koshien is basically Japanese March Madness. They take it very seriously and push their starters to absolutely ridiculous extremes, it's not uncommon to see a random 16 year old ace from Bumfucknowhere Prefecture throw 200 pitches in a single start.
Joshua Sullivan
And yet somehow, the Nationals aren't even close to being as JUST as the Mets, the Philles, the Marlins or the Braves. Not to mention the Cubs, >rags
Hudson Taylor
Why is baseball drafting so terrible? How the hell was Trout the 25th pick? I could understand him not being #1 in the '09 draft, Strasburg was insanely good, but for him to fall all the way to 25? How bad are MLB scouts?
Adrian Allen
And then do it again on 2 days rest.
For like a month.
Isaiah Nguyen
every other team in the division has at least 2 world series victories, and as far as American Education has taught me, 2 > 0
Easton Davis
And we wonder why Japanese pitchers keep blowing their arms out.
Hunter Garcia
why are you shit talking the diamondbacks then? they are irrelevant.
Connor Howard
Big series for the Phillies this weekend against the Braves. They need to win it if they want a chance at the division. I cant wait for them to fuck it up.
He went to a northeast, seasonal school in an area where competition is scarce. Playing in the Northeast fir high school baseball is like playing in europe for the NBA
Jonathan Torres
Being JUST isn't about numbers. It's about being pathetic.
Julian Martinez
The Diamondbacks have not only won a playoff series, but a World Series. And not only a World Series, but arguably the greatest world series ever played
And the franchise that is best defined as JUST is the Washington Nationals. Maybe the Mets are more JUST, but they at least have World Series to cover them. The marlins hardly exist, and the Braves/Phillies JUST eras are when flame throwers ripped 91mph Fastballs through the zone and ballplayers had to take second jobs in the offseason because they were basically slave labor for owners
Jaxon Richardson
what college team is that in the picture and why do have those abomination of uniforms?

I dunno. the same people that make those make these awful uniforms though
My huefriend! Good to see you posting. Based Koshien.

The Phillies have the most losses of any professional sports franchise ever. The Mets front office and ownership may be the worst in sports now that Loria is gone and the Marlins are historically a joke franchise. The 90s Braves were even worse than the 80s Buffalo Bills and 2010 Dodgers.
Landon Campbell
>expecting multibillion dollar corporations and organizations to do something smart to combat piracy instead of just issuing takedowns of third-party sites
Hunter Wood
>The Phillies have the most losses True, but again, the dark age has is clearly documented as after World War 1 to the early 1950s. The Nationals Dark Age is 100% of their history >Mets front office and ownership may be the worst in sports They're up there, but again they have a semblance of success in your lifetime, unlike the Nationals >90s Braves were even worse than the 80s bills What are the bills of the 80s even notable for? Jim Kelly ducking them for the USFL? >2010 Dodgers They at least won a title, unlike the Nationals
Juan Brown
The Nationals have only been around for 13 years. The other 4 have sucked for a long time.
Jeremiah White
The 80 Bills were known for losing 4 straight Owls.
Aaron Miller
And have had infinitely more success. Even the Marlins, who literally fluked into two rings have an impossible to quantify gap on the Nationals in terms of success
Ryder Nelson
that's the 90's bills
Carson Wright
Your right. My bad. I don't give a fuck about football. My point stands.
Gavin Jones
Nah, the Braves WON a title
Jayden Gomez
Get BTFO so hard that you run to another board to try to shitpost

The Braves won the division 11 straight seasons and have one title to show for it. That's about as just as you can get.
Brody Thomas

I always get the Sox and Marlins WS mixed up. The year that Katrina hit, that was the year the Marlins won. The other one was the Sox WS win.

Apart from the Yankees in 1st, I don't see anything "eerily similar".

Robert Baker
> Bobby Cox a """""Hall of Famer""""" If I had a pitching staff like that, I could manage them to 11 division titles and early playoff exits too.
Matthew Wright
Forget the trade deadline, because every other team in MLB is in the fix to not trade their best to the Yankees for a bag of balls like they do for the Red Sox. So what free agents can the Yankees get this off season, and those pitchers must own Boston.
Lucas Watson

>DISH dropped FS South/SE and into the trash it goes. fucking faggots
James Barnes
You only say that because it was the Yankees who lost
Michael Young
No, I say that because Schilling and Johnson were the most dominant forces we've seen in the World Series.
not usually worth making them when it's only a couple dudes in there for either team.
Carson Cruz
Houston Astros vs St. Cardinals Gamethread:
Ryder Gray
If it was anyone but Brian McCann I wouldn't care. But that guy is the biggest hypocrite in baseball. If anyone on another team did that smug ultra slow trot he'd block home plate and try to start a fight like the white nigger he is
Is Boston going to come back and win the east and the World Series? The Yankees and Rays can't stop them, and its pissing me off.

William Hall

Offense disappeared. We have guys regressing on top of guys injured, all put together making for the worst team offensive performance of the second half so far. Literally the team is offensively being led by Ryan Goins (career 65 wRC+) and Adam Engel (who was demoted specifically because of his offense earlier this year)
Jonathan Wood
>Literally the team is offensively being led by Ryan Goins (career 65 wRC+) and Adam Engel I never thought things could get that bad for you.
Uh, no. the Red Sox are on a tear right now. They will peak at the right time.
Evan Butler
People actually think the Lillies will be sellers or buyers. They wont do shit at the trade deadline other than claim waived players. I say since no matter what they do here, the wont make the playoffs and probably just test the FA markets during the off season. Then they do trades to get pitchers.
Joseph Ward
Manfred would never write a script with that much regional overlap
Braves won tonight; Phillies and Nationals both lost.
Cameron Clark
S-STOP IT. THIS ISN'T FAIR. THIS. WAS. OUR. YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE #28!!!!!!!!!! WHY WON'T THE METS GIVE US SYNDERGAARD!?!!?!?!!? GOD DAMMIT SAN FRANCISCO, GIVE US BUMGARNER RIGHT NOW.
Maybe the Braves, even though they're in the same division.
Won't be the Yankees.
Mason Baker
if theres anything I want if the mets trade syndergaard is good prospects. I know pitching is a need, but the mets issue is a bullpen (and a good front office but that can be done some other day) twins got anyone really good?
Brayden White
Padres are the frontrunners due to the pieces in their farm system that are attractive to NYM
>twins FO >doing anything >ever i want to believe but i don't
Cooper Reyes
this to the maximum!
Austin Gonzalez
bring back trayce
Landon Murphy
>The Astros have most fervently pursued Syndergaard, but the Mets’ current stance is that only the Braves and Padres, both with stacked systems, are ideally positioned to obtain the righty.
We're giving free wins to everyone. The team is beyond terrible at the moment.
John Miller
shit is ridiculous right now. cruz also hit a dinger, which makes the team's count 201 long dong balls. I'm honestly more happy about the fact that they only had to use the starter and one bullpen arm. really giving the bullpen an opportunity to unfuck itself after that yankees affair
Connor Flores
The Indians were so close to catching with with the twins. Then the whos happened.
Statistically impossible for them to put up those differences in splits without cheating. Now look at a real baseball player like Mike Trout and how his stats are virtually identical home and away. Rigged game. Rigged system. This semen slurping sport isn't for me.
>we need to keep playing the shit pitcher and have him keep losing games over and over until he gets his confidence back Why do people do this? Don't they have goobermetrics that tell them not to play shit pitchers ever?
this meme suck ass i prefer you guys posting about dogs and dodgers instead
about koshien its true, they play the game as long they can play, they love the sport and want to play more than anything
The most depressing scene that you can see in baseball in general is when the players cry after lost the tournament, beacuse they know that (probablly) wont play baseball again, at least with it friends
i was going to ask if you had an Miku Racing Diecast car but the face jumpscaried me lmao
