Where has anyone ever said the NL has superior talent and strategy?

the NL rules allow more strategy to be employed in a game. It doesn't mean NL managers are better strategists. Just that they have to use more strategy in each game under NL rules.

NL fans are uneducated, opioid addicted, flyover state, hicks who buy tickets using welfare money.

AL fans are hard working, white collar Americans, who are moving up in the world. They must sacrifice for their high paying careers.

>>77073250
Doesn't explain how the AL beats them in interleague. An AL pitcher should be more rattled than an NL pitcher.

It really comes down that a hitting pitcher has been a dead meme for decades now. It made sense because pitchers were able to hit as well as the rest of the lineup by in the days, but pitching gotten so specialized that they can no longer keep up with the demand of practicing their swing

>>77073257
>implying that defensive shit isn't when you are trying to laid a big steamer but it's struck halfway because it won't come out.

Offensive shit is when you are one fart away from shitting yourself and hope that your butthole is clenched hard enough so you won't shit on yourself before you can find a bathroom.

Nigga, Bellinger took Miller deep in the actual season.

Interleague record is currently 93-82 for AL. Dodgers have thus far done their part going 7-3 vs AL teams. They have the White sox and Twins later this month.

Reminder that the NL would've slapped the AL if Kershaw played

Cody Bellinger already ended Miller's career with a go ahead homer. But striking out in an exhibition game somehow matters more. Francona couldn't even make the post game presser aster that game so if Francona dies (we all hope he does) it'll be because of Cody Bellinger.

At least we finally saw again, for the 20th year in a row, who is truly the better league.

Question to the baseball intellectuals of the 4chan.....

Is Robinson Cano and his team in line for postseason berth because of his ASG MVP and does his ASG HR account towards his season total???

Let me know please, I'm a new baseball aficionado and want to know just how much the all-star gane matters.

Like if you pitch a clean inning in the ASG does you career ERA go down?

If you get an RBI does it account for your career total?

You don't seem to understand what I'm saying though fucking faggot. With over 80 games left in the season, and with the division leader going to the postseason, the Cubs aren't that fucking far behind. How many teams in other division have to deal with this? Do you seriously think any team from the dumpster fire NL East is going to the postseason? Fuck off. What's your team? Let's break down how they're extremely shitty now.

It would be different if the Cubs this year were devastated by injuries or lost a bunch of their core to free agency, but the truth is they're just not very good. Last years team is mostly intact. They fluked their way in to a championship by winning 3 playoff series against historically weak opponents. The Giants, who limped in to the post season with a horrendous 2nd half. The Dodgers, who had half of their roster on the DL and the Indians, also mostly injured and with a shambles of a rotation.

What the fuck are you talking about? The Nationals are going to the post season guaranteed.

>>77077952

How many of those were pinch hitters? Did the manager do a double switch?

Kershaw is from Texas, and that's what they like to do in that state.

Any Natinals fans here have the scoop on what's up with Trea Turner? I haven't seen a rotoworld update since they placed him on the DL.

I've got him in a fantasy league, he was my second pick and he's played up to those expectations so far. But I got an offer for a decent trade that includes him, if he's going to be out all year I'm obviously going to take it. But I'm worried the guy offering me the trade knows something I don't.

Last I heard his return date was "indefimite" but that was a week ago. I'm thinking it will be mid to late August, best case. September almost certainly. But still. that's just a guess.

Thanks guy. I've been following him this season for fantasy purposes and he's a hell of a player.

>>77081648
Yeah he is. Fun to watch run the bases forsure. The power has been a nice surprise. I can't wait for next year when he and Eaton will be at the top of the order again. Lots of freak injuries to the Nats this year. Turner. Eaton. Werth. Taylor. At least the rotation seems to be holding up so far.

Remember last season when Cubs fans swore that they weren't bandwaggoners because muh attendance during losing seasons, even though 40% of their game attendance was on account of tourism, and the TV ratings were in the bottom ten in all of baseball, behind the Rays?

lmao at the NL

What will the Doyers excuse be if they can't win the pennant this year?

>>77083462
"We value individual awards over team awards"

Honest question-- since the NL is the quite provably inferior league, is it time to institute a "handicap" for all interleague games to make it fair for the NL? Start all games with a score of 3-0 in favor of the NL team, and 5-0 when playing in a superior American League ballpark.

That could help make it fair and keep newer fans around that don't like to see their sissy team get big dicked by a better league.

Daily reminder that the Pirates willingly placed their entire 2014 season in the hands of Edinson Volquez by starting him in the 2014 NL Wild Card game.

Daily reminder that the Pirates willingly placed their entire 2015 season in the hands of Gerrit Cole by starting him in the 2015 NL Wild Card game.

Daily reminder that the Orioles willingly took their entire 2016 season out of the hands of Zach Britton by not pitching him in the 2016 AL Wild Card game.

>>77080614
Kimbrel just made things interesting in a bad way as he seems to do every third or so outing.

Everyone is saying the National League "lost" but what do you expect when a third of the team is comprised of doyers? I mean seriously.

>>77083642
I'd expect them to at least score more than 1 run

>>77083617
>in a bad way
>got the W without giving up a run

>>77083659
the winning run was on second and threw six straight balls to start the inning. he was very shaky before he settled down as per usual and btfo the NL with the help of Upton.

>>77083654
>more than 1 run
Remember we're talking about a National League team

Don't forget who was "catching" him. It wasn't entirely his fault.

Remember earlier in the season when the Orioles had fans because they were doing well

>>77083902
You mean just like the Mets, Yankees, Reds, Rockies and Twins?

>>77083981

To be fair, I think that was one guy and he still posts. The other teams are simply bandwagon as fuck, however.

>>77084000
The point stands. Aside from the Whos and the Mariners, all the other fan bases are fairweather as fuck.

>>77084025
On /mlb/ anyway.

>>77084025
Pretty much just the Mariners, TBF. White Sox haven't had much of a presence lately, it's kind of sad. I guess it finally got so bad that they fairweathered out.

>>77084057
I can't blame them. They're nonexistent in the general, but they have a robust presence in game threads. The Whos were getting no hit Sunday and they outnumbered Rox 'fans' in the game thread 10-1 or more. That's loyalty. Can you blame them for avoiding the general? Post for what? To get blasted? Seattle isn't close to as bad as the Whos are. Injuries, mostly. They were expected to contend this year.

The usual 5 or 6 are still in every game thread, they just don't get much activity when there's literally zero fans of the other team, which was the case for the last two series we played (A's, Rockies).

>>77084069
Yes, yes. We see you.

>>77084127
I don't know if that's true. I know that White Sox fans have been pretty silent lately.

>>77084144

Rockies fans are in the general only. They wear their team like a fashion accessory. Something to go with their outfit because it was trendy for a minute. Now that they faded, it's not even fun to boast in the general anymore for them.

>>77084156
That may be true. I haven't paid that much attention lately. I don't really miss BAJP.

Okay. take out the best and worst team in each league. So the Yankees, Cardinals, Mariners, and Nationals. Now, what's the number of world series victories by each league? Mind you, rooting for a league is absolutely retarded

>rooting for a league is absolutely retarded
I agree. I hate every other team in both leagues. The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy. Admittedly, there are some teams that I hate more than others.

>>77084603
This is where we disagree. I think it's okay to have a team in the other league to root for when they play against any team that isn't yours(or if they're playing a team that needs to win in order for your playoff chances to go up)

Rooting for a league is retarded but the NL is still better if you vacate the World Series wins of the Yankees, Jays, Angels, Orioles, Twins, Royals, A's, Red Sox, White Sox, Tigers, and Indians.
AL BTFO. Cap this.

Rooting for two teams is a homosexual act.

The ironic cubs fans who rooted for them because they were losers also shifted to the other side of the city now cause the roles reversed.

Chicago is literally so hipster that once the Cubs won the world series it was no longer cool to root for them but hey, the White Sox have had 5 consecutive losing seasons, all aboard!

>>77084869
to be fair, the white sox have been a more likable team pretty much all along, and that makes me feel some amount pity for the actual whitesox fans who now have to deal with the jumpers

I hope they keep jose 'el cocaine mang check em' quints-anna. I keep up on mlbtraderumors and in the comments q's value always comes up and it seems like he is undervalued by the rest of the league. With his years of control i say keep him if they dont get good value in return. In 2 or 3 years when the rebuild is done he can be part of the rotation.

uestion to the baseball intellectuals of the 4chan.....

Is Robinson Cano and his team in line for postseason berth because of his ASG MVP and does his ASG HR account towards his season total???

Let me know please, I'm a new baseball aficionado and want to know just how much the all-star gane matters.

Like if you pitch a clean inning in the ASG does you career ERA go down?

If you get an RBI does it account for your career total?
