That's just so fucking great.

So let me get this straight.

Clay Buchholz: 6.33 ERA ($29,450,000 American Dollars)
Joe Kelly: 9.35 ERA ($2,600,000 American Dollars)
Rick Porcello: 4.66 ERA (117 Million freshly picked Grapes)
Steven Wright: 1.4 ERA (The God Knuckler Himself, literally a certified God, worth a total $514,000 American Dollars)

The combined staff has a 5.76 ERA.

AND THAT'S ONLY IN THE 5 RANGE BECAUSE OF A FUCKING KNUCLEBALLER

WITHOUT HIM ITS 6.85

THE NUMBERS 1-4 PITCHERS ON THIS FUCKING TEAM HAVE A 6.85 FUCKING ERA.

idk man, looks like bawwwtista is more bootyblasted than anyone on spuh

>>67059861
Last season I saw Jeff Samardzija hang one over the center of the plate

A royals player punished him by absolutely killing the ball for a home run

On the next pitch to the next batter, Samardzija aimed his throw inside and plunked the royals hitter.

Later in the inning that runner came around to score as the royals cruised to a 10-1 victory.

It continues to become one of the dumbest things I've ever seen in the history of baseball. I've seen bad erros and bad baserunning before but most of it was due to physical or mental lapses that can happen.

This was on an entirely different level wholely intentional and truly one of the dumbest things I've ever seen in baseball ever. To this day I still can't comprehend it.

>>67060114

I would be more surprised if he didn't pitch well just to fuck with us who fans some more. Plus the fact that he's back in the babby league in a pitchers park with a great defense behind him
seems to be going pretty well so far

Could you imagine being a cardinals fan if the Cubs win the world series? Hell even when they win it, be it 50 years.
Or a fan of any team in the NL Central?

So glad im not in the same division as cubs. I imagine it'd feel as bad as say being a fan of the AL Central right now that isn't a royals fan.

I thought it was stupid at first, but in the Giants case, after looking at the lineup it kind of makes some sense because no matter how you arrange the lineup there will always be something a little off and someone batting in a spot they shouldn't.

Cubs vs Royals All Star Game?

question

why don't TV broadcasts have the camera behind the plate? it would provide a better view of a ball leaving the bat on a good hit (instead of it just flying up out of the frame and switching cameras), and more players see the game from that perspective than from the pitcher's (simply because there's more different batters in a game than pitchers). You would also be able to see runners taking off and taking different leadoffs.

the only thing I can think of is that a camera behind home plate would have to be angled downward in order to see past the catcher and ump, and would thus skew your perspective of the strikezone

>>67069754
Pitchers are paid to pitch. Others are paid to field and hit.

Right because the AL still doesn't have steals and pinch hitters, using righty vs righty and lefty vs lefty.

No one likes a free out. DH actually makes opposing pitchers have to pitch to all nine spots.

Also would stop padding pitching stats for getting the easy strikeout vs the other pitcher

Literally barely a difference. Stop acting like people enjoy seeing a pitcher hit

I enjoy watching baseball. AL or NL it is great. Baseball is great. Baseball is love.

Also the only meme thing is DH is using some fat roid idiot in your DH spot like Ortiz/Arod/Pedro Alverez and not just using it to rest everyday players legs.

what if there was a rule that you could only use the same designated hitter once every 5 games
would this improve or worsen the game?

Not him, but watching pitchers hit is one of my favorite parts of baseball. I love watching Peavy knock in two runs with a base hit like he did yesterday and Bumgarner going deep off Kershaw

It's cool how pictures actually get to participate in the game of baseball and give themselves some runs in the NL

Just moved out of market and want to catch my team still. I have Comcast and I'm looking in to MLB Extra Innings. What's the deal with this lawsuit? Can I get a package for just my team instead of paying a million dollars to get every game?

Thanks senpai.

AL managing is easy mode.

Imagine an AL team running out of pitchers or position players. Just imagine how stupid a manager would have to be for that to happen.

An NL manager can pinch-hit for the pitcher in that case, if it's enough of a critical moment and the pitcher has been leveraged enough on the mound already. That's just another decision point that exists in the flowchart of NL managing.

are royals and cubs "fans" actually the same people?

That's what makes it so exciting when it does happen though. Cueto knocked in a run with a base hit too this year already iirc

Also, pitchers get a hit about half as often as position players. It's not like they literally never get a hit

I remember those first two homers being from the same national broadcast. Piece of shit announcer crew called them differently as if it was a Phillies regional broadcast.

Was Michael Pineda a 1-year wonder?

>>67073866
You realize the fact that not one pitcher, but two pitchers homered off of each other when Hamels hit his, and that's why it was more exciting right?

>>67073952
I also realize that they said "oh no" when Cain hit his, and followed it with commentary about it being unfortunate when giving up a home run to the opposing pitcher.

You do too, right?

pitching is so much more important than any other position that they would all get paid the same if none of them could hit and there were no DH's.
they will never have to hit well to be stars that win games, DH or not
>>67074639
tell this to your ninny league friends who literally use this argument

>>67074767
That doesn't really defeat my argument. If you're gonna have a permanent pinch hitter for one poor hitter, why not pinch hit for all poor hitters? Babe Ruth was an elite pitcher and he was still the GOAT hitter. When he wasn't pitching he played the outfield. Why can't pitchers do that too?
