Hello friends. I know you like to make lots of dank may mays about Bryce Harper, but I think we all know that he's the GOAT. Don't you think the Nationals should just trade him to the Yankees alreadt? It's much better than letting him toil away in a city I don't care about. Plus it would be best for his career and Bryce Harper's career is clearly more important than anything else. Besides, he'd look good in a Yankee uniform. Please start a letter-writing campaign to the Nationals asking for this trade.

I'm not Bryce Harper btw.

Bonds is objectively the GOAT hitter

>>77226288
Think about it. Guys like Rich Hill, Kyle Hendricks, and Aaron Nola were likely on the above average side of velocity in Ruth's time. three of the notably slow, non meme ballers of our time were what Ruth was teeing off. Imagine Ruth having to hit Chris Sale or Noah Syndergaard

Ruth probably couldn't hang, he was before the advent of the power slider.

Fun fact: You can find when the power slider bloomed in the majors by looking at the last batting champ to hit over .400.

Fun fact 2: Tony Gwynn had a chance to hit over .400 one season, but the season ended early due to strike.

Fun Fact 3: Tony Gwynn is the best hitter in the last 50 years who didn't roid.

I'm sure if Ruth were raised in a time of million dollar training facilities, modern sports medicine, modern training techniques, less travel time, more realistic working schedule, and was groomed to play baseball his entire life like literally every single modern baseball player, he'd be fine among modern players.

ignoring Ruth's talent doesn't mean it wasn't there.

But Ichiro and Rose were both more productive hitters over their careers. Gwynn only had 5 seasons where he played more than 150 games and he only had five 200+ hit seasons. Pete and Ichiro both had ten 200 hit seasons each.

I don't think you understand what that means, but ok. Gwynn is top 20 all time, which means that guy was wrong to begin with, and the original claim was that he's the best hitter of the last 50 years. Most of those guys were dead 50 years ago.

Not really looking at average or any stats in particular, just overall quality for a lineup.

But to be fair, Tony played 20 years and only hit under .300 once, his rookie year (he hit .289). I could see arguments statistically for ichiro or pete, but Gwynn is the best batter I've ever seen play, especially in terms of technique and approach.

Ichiro and Rose are great, both should be hofers. Would Gwynn be the goat if he hit .400 in a complete 1994 season?

Almost finished a bottle of wine and really feel like watching baseball right now. What's a goat video I should watch.

You realize players in the MLB played integrated games all the time back in those days during the offseason, right? And there's no record of the stars ever performing consistently worse in those games, right?

I feel like Gwynn is similar to Griffey in one respect, that if both stayed healthy, they could have done so much more. The .400 average season would be a great footnote in history, but that alone would not change his production. You can have all the right tools mechanically, but if you can't produce, it only hurts you in the end. from his 30 year old season to his 41 year old season, he averaged only 115 games a season. if you take out his last two outlier seasons, the average is still only 127 games a season. Gwynn missed too much time. He was still an amazing talent and a generational hitter, but Rose and Ichiro have him beat based on pure stats alone. Rose had 8 seasons where he played 162 games, including a season where he was 41 years old.

I agree with you that Gwynn had, perhaps, the best approach of all time. but he just doesn't have enough production to be called the best.

Try all the time. It was the negro league's main source of income. Their owners were particularly adamant about making it happen as much as possible. The only reason people came was to see the stars from MLB olay, not the negro league players.

And you faggots have this really flawed idea that MLB players would have a harder time adjusting to black players integrating than vice versa. In reality, the negro league was a far inferior league talent wise since they were drawing from a much smaller talent pool. The star players of the negro leagues benefitted from less talent in their league. This is not to say they wouldn't have been good in the MLB, but they definitely would've had a harder time adjusting to the talent than the white players. To act like HoFers pre-integration don't have valid numbers just because they didn't play integrated is retarded. Especially when the amount of teams in the league was representative of the talent pool they were drawing from.

Do people itt seriously not realize that baseball has increasingly become more offensive friendly as the years have gone on, and that styles of play of changed throughout history? It's hard to compare stats because of this, but it doesn't mean that someone's stats are invalidated just because they played in a certain time period. You could easily make the case for someone's stats not counting now as you could for someone in the early 20's

Agreed on the stats and the raw production, but I'm not really looking at those to judge the "best hitters".
I look more at what they could contribute to the lineup on gameday, and I think Gwynn is a notch above them. But yeah, they beat him in availability and production.

Also, everybody uses Gwynn's training techniques, not ichiro's or rose's, but that's kind of unfair.

If they kept everyone and tried to compete they would have just been a .500 team and nothing more.

So what if they would have been closer in the hunt for a spot in the playoffs due to the al being shit this year, what happens the year after that and the future. They would still have holes to fill and their farm system was fucking terrible. At least they are trying something different instead of the same repeated outcome of the past decade

Modern day players have the benefit of playing night games with high powered lights, modern sports medicine, quick travel, modern training facilities, a mound moved further back, fences moved further in, balls that get rotated out within an 8 pitch lifespan, supplements, PEDs (inb4 muh monkey testosterone. It didn't work, and made player sick), and so on.

In the early 20s the pitching mound was much closer in, a lot of illegal pitches hadn't been outlawed yet, the fences were significantly further back, balls were used until their very last stitch (which meant that lopsided balls were commonly used in play), no modern lights so games after a certain time had to be called if players couldn't see pitches anymore, and so on.

/mlb/ makes the argument that the 20's player's stats shouldn't count because it was easier for them to put up good stats

there's only three batters to have bat over .380 in a season since Williams bat .400 in 1941 (except for Williams himself, who bat .388 in 1957). Gwynn is the obvious one, who are the other two?

>/mlb/ makes the argument that the 20's player's stats shouldn't count because it was easier for them to put up good stats
The reason /mlb/ says this is because of segregation. But yes, they ignore the other factors into it. Players of all eras had things that made things easier for them offensively, and also things that made things harder for them.

>>77227377
Rod Carew? George Brett?

>>77227393

A non factor when considering all-time greats. Most negro league players would perform along league average, and the few stars wouldnt have enough appeareances versus the main league stars to make a difference.

>>77227468
fair enough

crazy how no one's gotten even close in the mdoern era aside from gwynn though. batting .400 is like the holy grail of offense

>>77227475
It wasn't lefties from what I could tell, it was just people telling me it was the most retarded thing they've ever heard with no actually argument. You know, typical /mlb/ stuff.

>>77227299
>pitching mound was much closer in
The mound has been 60'6" from home since before 1900

>>77227488
When you think about how specialized pitching has become, with relievers coming in for one batter and all of them throwing 95+, it's a little less surprising. Combine that with the emphasis on power hitting rather than for contact, and you can kind of understand it. I though someone like Ichiro would have the best chance, but even he never hit above .372.

>>77227504
You're right, I was thinking of mound height. If I recall correctly, the mounds had a limit on how tall they could be (and the limit was high relative to modern day mounds) but the height varied from stadium to stadium. It was legal so long as it was under the set height limit.

What did Ji Man Choi do wrong? He was borderline elite in his 3 minutes, yet no one talks positively about him. It's all Garrett Cooper (who hasn't done shit) first base talk and now Headley / Todd Frazier.
Ji Man Choi will be forgotten and he was nothing but great.

>>77227541
>no Tony Lazzeri

>>77227504
It's not closer but they did lower the mound in the 60s.

>Dodgers finally DFA Romo

I really wanted him to be good but he just wasn't. He was actually worse than his numbers show (6.12 ERA). We really need to stop signing ex-Jints trash.

>>77227551
>only 5 rings
even Spud Chandler was better

>>77227299
20s pitchers wouldn't even be able to make the college these days. Modern hitters would destroy old time pitchers. Pitching has gotten exponentially better and batter have had to follow suit.

>On November 20, 1934, the 17-year-old Sawamura faced a team of visiting all-star players from Major League Baseball. Entering the game in the fourth inning, the high school pitcher struck out nine batters and held the Americans to a single run over five innings pitched. However, he did manage to strike out Gehringer, Ruth, Gehrig, and Foxx in succession. Connie Mack, who was managing the American team, was so impressed by Sawamura's performance that he tried to sign him to a Major League contract. However, anti-American sentiment was strong in Japan at the time, and Sawamura declined, saying, "My problem is I hate America, and I can't make myself like Americans."

If he could get over his bigoted hatred, could he have been the Chinese Jackie Robinson?

>>77227609
well

yeah

I think if judge had god-like Votto-tier discipline he would make a legit run at .400 though. 15% less on a strikeout rate doesn't translate to anything near 150 points on a BA but it would put him close especially with his full retard babip

>>77227643
Considering he died in WW2? No

>>77227643
>Chinese
Nope

>>77227661
There was a good 10 years between that game and his death

>>77227677
Chinese, Taiwanese, same difference

>>77227587
20's pitchers pitched with heavier balls (which caused the lower velocity, and it was 65 mph like you retards try to push) and relied on getting hitters to ground out rather than striking them out. It was a completely different style of play. Once the long ball became popular in the late 20's, and strikeouts were less looked down on, the pitching style changed. Pitchers who played with this old style of play and who were able to adjust stayed in the league. Those who couldn't adjust were forced to leave. The same shit happens today.

>>77227332
Yeah and it fucking stole him from us. Stay away from chew, kids.
