Hank Aaron did jack shit in or for Japan, so I'm surprised he got an award. However, it's just a meaningless award. It wasn't really even started to be awarded until recently. My professor has a order of the rising sun, just proving how truly meaningless it is to obtain.
Also, did you forget about Babe Ruth? Without him, Japanese baseball wouldn't even be as popular as it is and likely would be dead.
>>77909897
Profit. Switcharoo games never sell jackshit, so the rags would rather force the Astros to play in a neutral venue in order to keep the upcoming series at Arlington. They offered to host the series but not switch series, because fuck Houston or some shit.

Nationals? At least the Rangers made it to a couple World Series.
Just FYI you dipshits, the Rangers offered to let the Astros have all the revenue from a 3 game series in Arlington. They didn't want to trade series because would have made their last 12 games all away games when they're in the middle of a wild card hunt. What the Rangers offered was completely normal procedure and it's the exact same thing the Orioles did for the Rays.
The Astros owner is the real cunt for dragging this disagreement out to the media and tried to frame the situation as though the Rangers are being Jews when they aren't. It is in fact the Astros that are so obsessed with the rivalry they turned down more money and a more convenient situation for their fans just because they don't want to give the Rangers any sort of help in the wild card race.

It would have benefited the hurricane victims far more to have the 3 games played in Arlington go towards hurricane relief, which is what the Rangers offered, than 3 games played thousands of miles away from either team
Your owner literally said, "Naw fuck the victims, I ain't gonna take any deal that helps the Rangers slightly even though the Astros will win the division no matter what." The Rangers simply refused to take a deal that would outright hurt themselves to help the Astros. You're owner is an autistic shithead.

>>77915904
Switching Series would have given the Rangers a 12 game road trip to end the season when their in the WC hunt. The Astros were asking the Rangers to hurl themselves on to a grenade to help the Astros have a better chance to win 3 games that are basically meaningless to their playoff chances.
While both team's offers weren't entirely fair to the other, the Rangers ownership didn't air out a private disagreement to the media and misconstrue the whole situation to make the other look like a villain. Reid Ryan is a cunt.

You see, earlier in the season Yankees fans claimed to be rebuilding this season, and everyone laughed at them because they're obviously not. Dodgers fans, like that annoying kid who feels the need to incessantly copy everyone's jokes, decided they wanted some of that attention too and started claiming they were rebuilding too just because they have different players now than they did 5 years ago.

How was what the Dodgers did NOT a rebuild? All the young players were prospects in the Dodger system and they had to rebuild the way they did (like getting Hanley or AGon or Greinke) to contend so they don't lose the LA market to the Angels.
There's a pressure to win in LA that doesn't exist anywhere else but New York and maybe Boston
>>77916239
t. incessantly annoying kid
>>77916239
Because you don't understand what rebuild means. Signing young players and calling young players up from the minors is not rebuilding, to rebuild you need to liquidate first.
>>77916090

>>77916264
>Signing young players and calling young players up from the minors is not rebuilding, to rebuild you need to liquidate first.
Yeah, the team was pretty much liquidated
Kemp, Billingsley, etc were traded away. Hanley and Greinke weren't resigned. Ethier is on his way off the team. And AGon is gone after this season with the rise of Bellinger.
The pitching staff looks completely different with only Kershaw being there.
That's no different than what the Phillies and Astros did, except we stayed winning because of the pressure to win in LA.

I hope we crush the rags in the Trop.
>rags
>>77916301
You stayed winning because you kept talent on your team and continued signing talent for big money. That's the exact opposite of how rebuilds go. The Dodgers have been trying to win now every year under their new ownership, getting fortunate with prospects doesn't change that.

What the Rangers offered to do with the Astros series was completely reasonable, normal practice, and they were open to a bunch of possible compromises, but the Astros were only gonna be satisfied with switching the last 2 series, and when they didn't get their way, they threw the Rangers under the bus and went to the media and blatantly misrepresented the negotiations to exploit public sympathy.
Had they agreed to play the home series at Arlington, there's no doubt the Rangers would have pulled out all the stops to accommodate the Astros and made it all about hurricane relief. Instead your president threw a hissy fit and saw an opportunity to make a controversy of the whole thing.

How about swap home and away games? Oh wait, that's too difficult. Might blow your post-season chances (even though you already traded away Darvish and competing heavily to get that wild card spot).
Tampa Bay took a step further and did exactly what the Rangers claimed to be willing to do (to save face). And for that, I'll be paying attention to their team more often, and even root for them as well if they make post season. They're the ones who have really bent over backwards to accommodate the Astros.

What the hell are you talking about? You think the Rangers are lying when they said they offered to give the Astros the home half of the inning at their park and all the revenue from the games?
Not even your president claims that. He crafted this response in such a way to leave out the full story and screw over the Rangers. They were more than willing to nogotiate, but it was the Astros that were dead set on switching series or nothing, and then went to the media when they didn't get their way. The Rangers had a lot of viable concerns about a series switch. It's completely unprofessional and scummy move by the Houston prez.
>>77918077
>You think the Rangers are lying when they said they offered to give the Astros the home half of the inning at their park and all the revenue from the games?
Exactly what the Tampa Bay Rays are doing. The difference is that none of this really benefits the Rays.

The Rangers didn't care about getting a competitive advantage, they just didn't want a competitive DISADVANTAGE. Switching the series would have forced them in to a 12 game road trip at the end of the season. They would have been fine if the Astros had quietly rejected the Rangers offer, agreed to play the series at Tropicana, and didn't make a huge fuss about the whole thing. Instead, they leaked the disagreement to the media behind their backs and crafted a deceptive story to make the Rangers out like they weren't perfectly open to compromise.

>Selling at the trade deadline the previous season to build up farm system
>Releasing and trading older players to make way for the younger ones
>This isn't rebuilding
I didn't see people saying the "lol yankees aren't rebuilding n sheit" until the trade deadline this year, and the logic there was fucking retarded. The Yankees traded only 2 top 100 prospects, who were far from the majors and were blocked by Judge, Hicks, and Frazier already, with the added possibility of Harper blocking them too. The players the Yankees got from the trades help fix weak spots that effected them both this season, and don the road. Kahnle and Robertson help to give the Yankees solid depth to a bullpen that has failed them many times this season, but also gives them depth in the future since there won't be much relief help on the market this coming offseason. Also, Todd Frazier wasn't the headliner for that deal, like a lot of you retards were saying. Sonny Gray helps to give the Yankees a better rotation for the next three seasons. Every year the rotation for the Yankees is a huge question mark, so having a good number 2 starter like Gray helps things out. Especially since before they got him, Severino and Montgomery were the only pitchers guaranteed to be on the Yankees. Getting Gray at the deadline gave the Yankees the added benefit of replacing Pineda since they lost him to TJS
>>77918218
>The Rangers didn't care about getting a competitive advantage, they just didn't want a competitive DISADVANTAGE.
Here's competitive disadvantage for you: the Astros are playing 3 "home games" away in Florida, while absolutely nothing changes for the Rangers.
Besides, given how luke-warm the Rangers have been all season it's not like a 12 road game (or even 12 home game) stretch would've made any difference.
>>77918259
The Rangers offered all the revenue for this series to the Astros, offered a donation of the proceeds from the raffle towards relief victims, and offered the home half of the inning to the Astros. But, the Rangers didn't want to swap series because 1. there is no guarantee that the weather will hold this weekend in DFW, which would cause further scheduling issues for both teams, and 2. that would create a 12 game road trip during what could be the stretch run.
This offer is actually based on precedent set by the MLB during the Baltimore riots not too long ago. Baltimore played a series as the home team with all the proceeds going to them in Tampa. Different reason for the location switch, but same result
Now, ask Baltimore if they'd rather the revenue from a packed Rangers series or the revenue from Tampa. Pretty simple choice. You're talking millions, that you could in turn donate to the relief cause, if the FO so chooses. Which they should, if they are going to stand on this moral high ground nonsense.
The Rangers were consulted last in a decision that effects them as much as it does the Astros. Strip away the reason for this necessary sojourn and you're left with the displacement of 2 teams, not one, and those teams should have equal footing in the conversation. The MLB and the Astros spoke, the Astros FO said, "hey, this solution looks equal on paper" and then both parties took it the Jon Daniels. Jon then said, "eh, what about this reasonable compromise" and then the Astros declined. Then took to the media to voice their opinion that Jon Daniels is a son of a bitch.

Jon Daniels offer was literally the same thing Tampa offered to do for Baltimore during the riots. What the Astros wanted the Rangers to do was a step further than that, and would have caused a number of potential scheduling conflicts for the Rangers.
Basically the Astros asked the Rangers, "Hey our schedule is fucked, we want you to fuck yours too". It was hardly solution to anything. Just transferred some problems on the Rangers.

Bro. You're literally swapping 3 games with Houston. It's possibly the most simple solution to this entire problem. That means 1 series is played now in Arlington, and the next would be played in Houston.
Instead Jon Daniels said,"If we can't fuck your schedule up even more by making you forfeit 3 home games, then we won't deal."
Cold shit, but that's what he did. Houston still has to forfeit 3 home games, but the Rays were kind enough to ensure the Rangers didn't get Home advantage for all 6 games.

You don't help somebody in need of a hand by offering to cut off your own hand as well. The Rangers and Astros could have worked together in other ways to help with the hurricane relief if neither wanted to take the offer the other team suggested in this particular case, but the Astros president decided to pour cancer all over any such potential joint team charity efforts in the future and cause a pointless feud that helps absolutely no one getting affected by the hurricane.

1. Swapping a series isn't cutting your hand off.
2. The only offers they made benefited the Rangers, or kept the Rangers wholly unaffected.
3. We're playing what's supposed to be an in-state game out of state because of this minor disagreement
If the Rangers had accepted the swap, this entire conversation would be singing a different tune, but because the Rangers were entirely unwilling to reach a reasonable compromise, we're playing in Tampa.

You don't think an Astros home series in Arlington wouldn't have been absolutely welcoming to the Astros with all the hurricane stuff? Rangers fans gave the Jints a fucking standing ovation after winning the WS in their stadium. Rangers fans probably would have straight up root for the Astros in all 3 games and cheered for them like it was truly their home game.
The Astros are the ones who took it out of state, and then not only that, but decided to demonize the Rangers in the media forcing them to have to go on the defensive instead of thinking of how they were going to welcome the Astros in the upcoming series for a feel good charity event like the Texans and Cowboys are currently doing.
Reid Ryan could have simply said, "Daniels and I had some understandable disagreements with switching series or playing 6 games in Arlington so we're going to play in Tampa" and nobody would care and both teams could have planned other shit to help Hurricane victims.
Maybe Daniels should have just taken the high ground and switched, but tell me how Reid Ryan helped ANYONE by doing what he did
>>77918251
The Yankees signed talent for big money in the offseason and made trades to help them compete right now. The fact that their roster will continue to be able to compete is irrelevant, they're spending money and spending prospects for immediate impact, which is the exact opposite of what a rebuild is. I don't know why you cling so desperately to the idea that you're rebuilding, is it so you have an excuse if they don't win?

It's clear both Daniels and Reid Ryan (Nolan's son) put their personal feud above helping people and both should be ashamed for not having made simple compromises.
It is completely pointless to point fingers in this whole thing. Neither the Rangers or Astros primary concern were the victims.

Owner of the Astros, Jim Crane, Donated $4,000,000 out of pocket and his other organizations for storm relief as well as Lance McCullers doing a fundraiser for hurricane relief. This was before this entire squabble came to light.
While it wasn't responsible of Nolan Ryan's son to voice opinions about the negotiations of where to have this game series, the Astros have been behind Houston 100%. They were unwilling to sacrifice 3 home games to a division rival after getting their city flooded by the hurricane. That's all that really happened.
>>77919354
Making this a public controversy was the worst part of all of this though. Should Daniels have just switched series? Yeah, probably. But Reid bringing their disagreements public as here did here >>77918077 exasperated a minor problem in to a huge controversy.
If Reid had simply portrayed the negotiations fairly, people would have likely naturally come to the conclusion "Daniels should have switched series, bit of a dick move that he didn't" all while having the moral high ground. Instead he went public and WILDLY misrepresented the situation and made Jon Daniels out like he was fucking Hitler. The Rangers and their fans obviously just can't let themselves be slandered like that, and forced some awful fued at a time when Texans should be coming together.
>>77919602
either way Daniels isn't in the right whatsoever. Sure, the Astros overstated it, but the reality isn't much better.

When I first heard this story, I was irate with the Rangers FO for not switching the series, so much so that I'd have considered boycotting them. What irks me is once I heard the full story, while I still would have agreed the Rangers should have switched, and disappointed he didn't, the dishonestly in which Reid released this story was worse even than Daniel's refusal to switch. I hate being mislead and lied too. Reid basically forced people to pick sides in a state that is getting ravaged by a natural disaster, where had he simply painted an accurate picture of the situation, this feud could have stayed between them instead of bringing fans at each other's throats.

He'll probably get 62 and break the real HR record
>>77920941
No, he will hit more than 61 though.
45 innings

I'm sure that your boyfriend is happy about that.
>>77920978
That is the real record you dope
>>77920941
Real, as in Bonds' 73 but adjusted for ballpark homerun distance average so 97?
Highly doubtful

This is fine.

I'm pretty sure Bonds hit 73 in the real world.

He's a cheat though. Taking roid gives you power and it has been proven that it helps you with reaction time.

kek
>>77921048
There are more homers hit now thanks to the altered balls than there were in the era where everyone was on roids. Bonds would hit 90 nowadays.
Imagine how many Mickey Mantle could have hit if he didn't live next to a liquor store and have RGIII knees.
prime bonds + coors field + juiced balls = 120 home runs desu

How do we get Stanton out of Miami?
He's going historic and yet the Marlins still can't draw 10 thousand fans. Just a horrible, horrible baseball city. I remember watching a game there when Stanton hit a 500 footer, and the guy next to me ignored it to wax poetic about the Miami Heat.
Yankees? Move to Judge to the DH, put Dongcarlo in RF.
>>77921084

Taking roids as a batter gives you more power, and taking roids as a pitcher makes you throw harder
So it's a wash
It's the shit like Jackie Robinson being the lone black guy styling on unathletic white guys that's real cheating
B*rry B*nds

>>77921065
>There are more homers hit now thanks to the altered balls
I think it has more to do with the greater understanding of launch angles and such.
A physicist did a study on the current balls and concluded that they would travel about 7 feet further than balls of yesteryear. Certainly it will turn a few warning track shots into wall scraper homers, but guys like Stanton are annihilating the ball.
>>77921091
Simple. Give him money. Lots of money.
WE DID IT LADS
WE JUST WON THE WORLD SERIES
>royals scored a run
>>77921107
But power pitchers give up a lot of HRs. I'm not sure what your argument is.
>>77921122
there was a dramatic and universal uptick after the All-Star break in the 2015 season
that can't be due to a change in approach
>>77921122
Stanton is just strong, there have always been strong guys, we just haven't always had Statcast to marvel at them.
The highest amount of home runs hit in a season is 5693, in 2000. That was done in 62083 plate appearances. On this season's current pace, there would be 6623 home runs in that many plate appearances. It's a fucking dramatic increase, and it happened literally overnight. The entire league didn't just tap into the collective unconscious and discover launch angles on the same night.

>>77921152
The 7 foot difference is pretty big long term.
>Nathan found that just a 7 foot difference in batted-ball distance is enough to raise home run rates by 25 percent.
I don't think Stanton has hit a wall scraper all year, though.
>>77921253
When he does, they're either line drives or opposite field
>>77921163
>The highest amount of home runs hit in a season is 5693, in 2000. That was done in 62083 plate appearances. On this season's current pace, there would be 6623 home runs in that many plate appearances.
Yeah, the ball is definitely "tighter." As I said in another post, the current ball is thought to travel about 7 feet further, which could increase homers by as much as 25% (per physicist Alan Nathan), so the math definitely fits (5600 to 6600).
I just don't Stanton needs the extra 7 feet. Be interesting to go through his homers and see if he benefited from that extra distance.
