>>75206593
It's an entirely different skillset
Cricket is about hitting the ball on the bounce with a flat bat and in cricket you can generally take or protect without issue.
Baseball is hitting a ball in the air with a round bat and the only way to reliably foul it off is to smack it foul.
Skillsets are too different to ever realistically see a cricket batsman/bowler adapt to a sport they've probably never played.
(Also Indian cricket leagues pay a shitload for next to no work)
>>75206657

This. It's sometimes entertaining to get into a baseball vs. cricket debate, which sport is harder, etc, etc, but outside a couple of superficial similarities, the sports are vastly different.

>Skillsets are too different to ever realistically see a cricket batsman/bowler adapt to a sport they've probably never played.

Isn't April usually supposed to be one of the better months for pitchers since it's colder and balls don't fly as far? It's very possible this early hot hitting isn't going to die down.
I think the league might be experiencing a momentary deficiency of good pitchers. It seemed like just about every team in the offseason was desparate for starting pitchers, but hardly any were available.

Jose Leclerc just made the horrible career mistake of putting himself in a prime position to take over the role of closer for the Rangers.
Poor guy. He's only 23 and he's already doomed any chance of staying in the league longer than 2 years.
>>75208036
Dyson is the rag, though. If we won Tuesday night without him, nobody would be talking shit.
>>75208055
It's still most likely going to be Barnette, leclerc did impress and that cutting changeup pitch he has is really crazy and when it's on it's on closer type stuff that pitch. But with recent injuries and still waiting for guys to come off injuries Bannister is going to be doing his little week or two of shuffling relievers and closers around like he did when Tolleson shit he bed.

They should do this shit in Pakistan if they do it again. They've always thrown way harder in cricket, and baseball appears to have some presence there for some reason

>>75209312
Well his friends were doing coke on a boat, and if I remember correctly they were in the fucking ocean.

>>75214460
It speaks volumes about how pathetic Angels and A's fans are that they have actually won championships and still take a backseat in relevancy to a team like the Rangers that has been mostly awful throughout its long history and has never won a World Series. Same for the Astros who made their first World Series years before the Rangers did.
Even the Memeiners would quickly surpass those other joke hipster franchises in relevancy if they could ever get their shit together for any length of time.
>>75214650
>one of these days

Looks like Showalter wants a rivalry with the Red Sox. Rightfully called the pussies out though. Let's get this shit started. The Yankees aren't the same anymore and I want to see some brawls.

>>75214859
Honestly it's the opposite. The A's should just be relocated already because they can't even muster fan support when they're good and have a GM that literally shaped the current game of baseball.
Angels at least support their team and their owner spends money.

Dear /mlb/
Jason Heyward is almost batting .300, and this is his best stretch of hitting as a Cub. Addison Russell went deep, and Brett Anderson shut out his former team (apparently his arm didn't fall off like y'all said would happen).
Scared yet? The Cubs have literally NO weaknesses.
pitching:
1 Cy Young Award winner
3 Cy Young finalists
1 of the best closers on the planet
3 dominant mrp and set up pitchers
hitting:
Kyle Schwarber - Hall of Fame potential: most likely on the team to hit 40 HRs
Kris Bryant - Reigning NL MVP. Expect 35+ HRs, and league-leading WAR
Anthony Rizzo - Gold Glove award and Silver Slugger winner. Expect 30+ HRs and 100+ RBIs with top-10 WAR
Addison Russell - Gold Glove potential at SS with 20+ HR and 90+ RBI power. Expect his WAR to explode
Willson Contreras - 25+ HR power, fast base-runner, top 5 catcher in MLB defensively. Expect ridiculous dWAR and pitch framing this season.
Javy Baez - Gold Glove potential, 20+ HR power, fast base-runner, on the verge of becoming a super-star.
Jason Heyward - Gold Glove award winner, dWAR monster, Defensive Runs Saved monster. Expect a .290+ BA 20+ HR, 25+ SB season.
Ben Zobrist - swiss-army knife five tool player. Reigning World Series MVP. Expect 20+HRs, and a .280+ BA.
Albert Almora Jr. - Hall of Fame potential defensive giant. Will win Gold Glove playing CF. .275 BA and 15+ HR potential. Fast base-runner.
We also have the mlb meme-king himself. Munenori Kawasaki.
We will have an even better season. With Jason Heyward's swing back to normal, there are LITERALLY NO WEAKNESSES. Every batter has the power to hit the ball out of the ball park. The meat of the order when Jake Arrieta is pitching is literally the 1-9 hitters.
Memes aside, I could strike any of you guys out with my gyroball

False equivalency. Kyle Schwarber's post season career consists of 44 ABs (and he has 1.178 OPS). Kershaw's World Series career consists of 0 IP and 0 ABs.
>>75218033
That was his rookie year, which only consisted of 69 Games.
>>75217947
*throws you a meatball
>>75217960
When you're getting btfo like that, yes, it does. It shows your farm system is weak, and you have serious issues pitching, particularly when you had a long offseason and have no reason to rest starting pitchers in spring training.
