When Yan can get bat to ball he has one of my favorite swings
>>77885312
just search "sanchez fastest rookie to", forgot bellinger search for him also, he probably has the most impressive rookie home run records, especially given his age.
Judge had a 1.150 OPS for a whole half, not just a couple weeks like Hoskins. He was putting up incredible numbers in the first half you can't have forgotten that already
Plus guys like devers, benintendi, mancini, delmonico all had torrid starts

So since the AL Cy Young winner is obvious, what do we think about the NL race? Max Scherzer looked like the clear frontrunner for a bit, but missing a few starts and having a relatively low W total might have cost him the award. Zack Greinke is the next best pitcher statistically, but deGrom might end the year with more innings pitched, and his high win count despite being on a much worse team (but offensively and defensively) might impress the more traditional voters.

If Amed Rosario can calm down a bit and get on base more, he could be the best player in baseball. One of his best assets is his speed and he's barely gotten to show that so far. I'm afraid that's never going to happen, and he's going to be some bizarre player who runs a 35% strike out rate and 2% BB while hitting 30 home runs a year and playing premium defense
>>77887773

he's only 21, gotta give him time
a lot of these other young players who are just relying on the long ball are gonna fall off a cliff if the ball is unjuiced/strike zone is raised. (not someone like gary sanchez who plays a premium position or seager who is truly talented, I mean some of these other emerging memes)
having athleticism like arcia/rosario possess will pay off for those guys
He's a HOF'er, right? A couple more years of godly offensive production like this and he's there for sure I'd say.
>>77888186
If he stays healthy, all he has to work on at this point is first ballot status. He'll might not be top 5 active WAR by the time he retires but he can still be first ballot

how could you forget his nineteen (19) plate appearances for FLA?

>Higher batting average than OBP
Weird shit like this is why I know he's a faggot.
So of all the rookies that have had torrid starts and flamed out, how many didn't have crooked K/BB ratios?

Couldn't help but notice that Doyers had a completely empty stadium on a Sunday afternoon? Did getting blanked scare off the lifelongs?

Don't @ me.

Pretty sure they sold out every playoff game

I can't believe some of you idiots don't get it. The Cleveland Indians have strategically small crowds. It's much easier to spot a violent drunk that way.

Thanks m8! I love it. I've been meaning to get down to Cincinnati and see a Reds game.
>>77898665
Drunkest people at the game yesterday were the Royals fans behind us. They were actually pretty nice, but they started drinking heavily during the 9 run 2nd inning.
>>77898761

Say the line about the weather.
Man, I hope the fact that he doesn't strike out a fuckton is a good sign that he isn't a Storyesque flash in the pan
Why don't more teams rebuild and contend like the Dodgers do?

Well after October you won't be able to say taht about the Dodgers.
>>77898933
They're down right now, if >we can sweep them >you should be able to beat them up a bit
>>77899240
They're going to collapse in an unbelievably embarrassing fashion though. You know it in your heart to be true.
>>77899172
So they're all just bandwagon snot nosed brats? I wonder what the reverse of this is. Like who are some of the most obscure players that the kids like?
>>77899172
Kids are fucking stupid. Can't appreciate an OBP guy like Yastrzemski, have to go for the fizzled out muh dingers ESPNbabby. Snot nosed little retards. What's even the point of children
Lindor and Ramirez have both been in the league longer than Judge and are both younger
>>77899005
>real team
>nats current lineup
Yeah. You've got a good shot to do well. Scherzer back tonight and Trea Turner comes back tomorrow though, so there's that.
>>77899728
How many dongs does Stanton hit off of Scherzer tonight?
0 is my hope. Let Stanton play with his dong on Thursday.
>>77900050
Dong can also mean penis
>>77899229
I believe Belt played with Southwestern (the Texas Team, US champs).

TEBOW TIME ME SOMEBODY
IS THIS GUY PLAYING WELL ENOUGH 2 BE PROMOTED AGAIN?
>>77900151
>september call-ups are lined up by end of the week
we'll see now, won't we?
>>77900151
He wasn't playing well enough to be promoted the first time, and he isn't playing well enough to be promoted again either. He probably will though because memes.
>>77900151
>>77900151
I'm sure that when Tim Tebow is called up to the majors in September of 2020, a 35 year old, sanctimonious, noodle armed, virgin rookie strike out machine will be just the missing piece that the Mets need to finally vault them in to 3rd place in the NL East.
>>77900151
He'll be called up to the majors in September because it's not enough for the Mets organization to get all their young players injured physically, they also want to completely destroy them mentally by calling up a terrible player just because he's famous.
>the only thing capable of stopping the Astros is a natural disaster

I know the White Sox are bad, but "natural disaster" is a little harsh.

>the only thing capable of stopping the Dodgers is October
Corey Kluber has now surpasses Chris Sale as the Cy Young frontrunner. This isn't even debatable.

The LLWS is over. Japan won. The Mets will have to wait until next year.
>>77887064
Wouldn't be that bad, but angels aren't making it with that pitching staff
>>77900534
What is with Sale and late season collapses? We thought it was an exclusive white sox thing but switching colors didn't fix it either.
>>77900534
Man can guzzle piss like none other.
>>77900582
Hence, Oktoberfest.
>>77900689
He's just bad against teams that see him a lot. That made it seem like a late season collapse because you face your division a lot at the end of the season, and it only seems like a late season collapse now because he faced the Indians twice in a short time.

>>77902501
What's the return?
>>77850458
Astros fan just want to say thanks to the Tampa Bay Rays for letting our team have a place to play baseball.
>>77902517
then whats your asking price
>>77902532
>>77902599
Depends on how much salary we're going to pay? The more Stanton's new team pays, the less the return will be. If the Marlins pay it all, 5-7 players that are top 100 prospects/MLB ready players
>>77902632
thats not going to happen. jeter is already talking about cutting budget
>>77902652
Then given his injury history, and the lack of salary relief, you'll likely get a couple top 100's, and a lot of lottery tickets
Michael Jordon was the #1 basketball player of all time. He bought a team somewhere and it stunk. Now you think Jeter (Michael of Baseball) will do any better?

You know, it used to the Babe Ruth of something before Michael
Yeah, but that was a long time ago
>>77901762
Too far bro
>>77903692
Why not a stadium that's actually close to the team? Like, if Fenway goes down, why not move them to something in the same timezone at least
>rags
>>77903692
They choose Tropicana because it requires the least work to get the field ready for baseball and it's a guaranteed non-rainout. The field is never subject to the elements so they can just play any game there on almost zero notice.
>>77903779
They should just tear down Fenway
>>77903789
Pathetic
>>77903850
I like this idea
I can't wait for these Trevor Story/Rhys Hoskins/Gary Sanchez/Aaron Judge maymays to end. (Alright, actually I think Sanchez is a pretty good player.)

>>77906446
Good, he's a meme. He's no different than Trevor Story.
>>77906479
The only thing that brings me solace is knowing the Pirates, despite the 20 consecutive losing seasons, still accumulated more playoff wins that year than the Reds have won since 1990.
>>77906526
Story has an incredibly crooked bb/k ratio, while Hoskins never really did

>>77902013
The Astros offered to switch this week's Rangers-Astros series with the one in September (scheduled in Arlington at the last week), but Rangers GM Jon Daniels declined to do that for: 1. He was worried about ticket sales in September and 2. He didn't want the Rangers to play 13 road games in a row before coming home to play 4 games to end the season. Both Rangers and Astros fans hate his reasoning.
>>77906468
Are there really 3 windians itt?
>>77906468
This desu to be honest
>>77906653
yeah, that sounds like total bullshit. what does he really stand to gain from not switching the series? a couple THOUSAND dollars? what the fuck

They could have been sellers.
They could have sold but they bought.
>>77906863
They were in no-man's land, they were playing well enough to not necessarily fire sale, but you look at the construction of that team and you think "How would they even win the Wild Card game should they somehow derp themselves into it?"
That is never a good place for a franchise to be...
>>77906863
so we would win 71 games instead of 69 games? we aren't the yankees we arent going to contend for at least 7 years anyway. giving up some AAA shitters and unproven MLB literal whos this year is not gonna hurt us at all in a meaningful way
