Gary Sanchez is a bust
We all know about it, and we all see it. It's obvious. Nobody ever wants to admit it, but it's there.
People on this board hate Bryce Harper
.
The first question to ask: why? Why do you all hate him? The obvious answer: you didn't watch him in his prime. Likely explanation: I know that most of you are around 7 or 8 years old. That means you only got into baseball in the last couple years. So you never watched the GOAT in his prime.
And because you didn't watch him in his prime, you try to compensate for that by diving into stat sheets and analyzing box scores. But here's the thing: baseball isn't played on Excel spreadsheets. The moment somebody brings up "2016" or "DUDE WHERE'S MY" I know they know nothing about baseball. Harper's game cannot be encapsulated by one stat. He's the second greatest RF ever, and one of the 5 best players to ever play the game.
So when I hear somebody say that Mike Trout is better than Bryce Harper, I laugh, because I know that anybody who watched Harper in his prime wouldn't think that. Unlike you guys, I have watched baseball for a significant amount of time, so I know that Harper is better.
You might be jealous of Harper's unanimous MVP, or jealous of his status as the greatest player in Nationals history, or whatever. Unless you're a Blue Jays fan who watched baseball in the 90s, or a Blue Jays fan who watched baseball in the 2000s, you don't know what real, cold-blooded, killer instinct, will-to-win baseball looks like. And there's nothing wrong with that.
This board would make you think that Harper isn't even a top 100 player ever.
So don't go spouting bullshit about players you didn't watch. Talk about your "greats" like Mookie Betts, The Best RF in baseball™, but leave the Harper talk to the adults. Fair?

>>74418381
True, just add the cigarette.
>>74418423
Its spring training. Half that lineup on the card won't even see MLB play this year.

In b4 JUDGED
>>74419174
Honestly, I'm a huge O's fan, but I think the optimal strategy is to firesale at the trade deadline this year. There's no way they're gonna compete unless Bundy and Gausman suddenly become aces. The bullpen can't be literally perfect every year, and the offense is going to be unambiguously worse.
>>74419146

Its just spring training jitters
Is it just me, or does Machado's batting stance/swing look a lot different this spring? His hands are way lower than they used to be.

KIM NO

It's called the facts, deal with it.

3B - Nolan Arenado (>inb4 muh Coors)

Real discussion time
Strikezone
A. Expand
B. Shrink
C. Keep as is
Explain and discuss your choice.
>>74425353
Keep it the fuck as is. What's wrong with it?
>>74425250
No catcher. Bold strategy, I like it
>>74425353
C
Fuck rule changes
American League is nothing but a bunch of Feddie Fags. National League has undying spirit of Zeon and making baseball good. National League is best.
>>74425250
Hard to argue with most of this. 3B is the most stacked position in a long time.
Also, why no catcher?
>>74425305
This is a person's life.
>>74425363
There are no good catchers in baseball.
>>74425353

>>74425353
D. Have a machine call the strike zone.
>>74425363
>>74425374
he didn't want to trigger you-know-who by putting posey
>>74425353
Keep as is and train umpires better and make them take less power trips so players can argue the zone without getting thrown out so easily.
>>74425383
I have a confession to make, /mlb/.
I have to admit that I fap to Buster Posey pictures and videos at least once a night. You might say I "bust-on Posey" regularly. He's a handsome man and a more valuable player than Kershaw, nevermind any of the other scrubs on the Dodgers. Bumgarner is a handsome dude too desu.

>>74425417
>I have to admit that I fap to Buster Posey pictures and videos at least once a night.
>Not recording yourself fapping and then fapping to the video of you fapping.
Fucking casual.
>>74425353
Honestly fine with shrinking it. The intentional walk shit is a meme but shrinking the zone would increase the number of balls in play, which is what actually helps make the game more exciting
Trea Turner has played 8 games at the Major League level at SS and is still better than Addison Russell.
>>74425483
Addison Russell has a ring, a grand slam in the worlds eries and tied for the most RBIs in a worlds eries game. Russell is the best. THE BEST..
>>74425353
robot umps NOW
also raise it a little bit
>>74425353
D. raise it
Balls at knees for "strikes" arent fun and the rare home runs at that level dont mean shit. Its not golf its baseball. Raise the upper and lower boundaries of the zone a couple of inches and baseball will be more fun again.

>Jose Quintana to start against the US, Teheran to start against Canada, and William Cuevas against DR
The US gets the pitcher who was 10th in WAR in the majors
The Dominicans get a guy who went 6-8 with an ERA of 4.19 in Triple A last year
It's obvious they're going for the win against the US
That's really insulting

Why did we even bother giving leafs a baseball team?
>>74427020
We took away their other one.
>>74427020
because it makes the league more money than both florida teams combined
>>74427032
Only when successful
Reminder that before 2015 the Toronto blue jays missed the postseason for 23 consecutive years.
>>74427032
That can't possibly be true, especially since everything you earn is in Canadian dollars
>>74427032
It probably doesn't help that the Rays play in a place that looks like an abandoned warehouse with a failing roof.
Dome baseball is gay. But at least you leafs have made your dome less shitty than the other ones.

B. Move to Charlotte
C. Move to Puerto Rico
D. Move to Las Vegas
E. Move to Oklahoma City
F. Contract them along with the A's
>>74427973
nobody gives a fuck. rays will have the AL's best pitching staff in 3 years.
Is it the Astros year?
>didn't watch any anime all offseason
>baseball has been back for a couple days and I started watching anime again

>>74428309
I said I heard they was better
Cuba's team is a mess with a bunch of old guys who aren't MLB level and a bunch of raw young players
I wouldn't expect Australia to advance
But if they could put up a fight they could surprise Cuba
>>74428307
I've got bad news for you, bro, you shitpost then baseball is on, too.
even china should compete for 2nd in that group. They've won a game at each of the past two wbcs so they're not terrible. They've got Bruce Chen and a guy who's supposed to be one of the better KBO pitching prospects
http://live.qq.com/10000402
also here's japs vs a taiwanese team, based aoba stream guy, starting in 20 minutes. taiwan are mostly players from the lamigo monkeys who are boycotting the wbc
>>74428268
This Australian pitcher was a regular starter in the American minors but only made relief appearances during the last ABL season
I wonder who Australia's other starter will be other than Saupold and probably Blackley
>>74428358
I don't know if China could beat Cuba though
They could upset Australia denying them the second round
>>74428358
That boycott is the stupidest thing until I realized most of MLB is doing the same thing
>>74428358
Why are they playing an all-star team instead of Taiwan?

Still, that's pretty selfish

really sucks he won't be in the WBC, fucking lamigo

>>74432418
I guess Torre envisioned Goldschmidt being the primary first baseman
But if that's the case why not get Freeman too? Most of the pitchers we're gonna face are righties
I didn't understand why they didn't get Freeman in 2013 to replace Teixeira. They got Hosmer instead then and now to be the backup
Why did they get rid of the double-elimination?
That was the coolest part
