Pathetic. I remember last season when Red Sox fans were going on and on about how Mookie ".260" Betts was better than Trout and was the best player in baseball. I remember when they said Porcello wasn't a fluke and didn't fluke his way into the Cy Young. I remember when they said Sale's second half struggles only happened because he was on a bad team before. I can't wait for the Astros to absolutely cuck them in the playoffs lmao. Verlander will pitch in game 7 against Porcello and show who the true Cy Young is.

>>77965922
Some nerve issue in his elbow making his fingers numb or something like that. Seems retarded to pitch him still when we suck dick.

Angels now have the best defense in the league with Simmons, Trout and Phillips manning the middle. They're also getting Garrett Richards back to go along with Skaggs and Heaney.

Only downside is Scioscia will never have Pooholes hit anywhere but third even though he is statistically the worst player in the game.

Aren't the Mets paying a black pitcher a million every single year of his life due to some ludacris rule in mlb

Just wait until it's the playoffs and we'll see who can handle the pressure better

Reds are rebuilding so it's easy to overlook, but Joey Votto is having an incredible season. His OBP since the ASB is .488. He's hitting for power and not chasing anything. Best hitter in the game.

i'm a fairweather tigers fan and havent watched a baseball game since the start of the season. however, i feel a strange, almost erotic connection with JV having seen him penetrate kate upton. will he win a ring with the astros?

>>77969715
>not chasing anything

I love the man, he walks and hits like a madman but I'm always kinda disappointed to see his K rate is about average>>77965529, and his Ks are down this year. for the master of plate discipline, you'd think he have walked more than struck out more than twice in his career. compare that to young GOATmode pooholes, who literally struck out more than walked ONCE in all his years playing for the cards. votto and his obp are still a wonder but you'd think he'd K less often with his reputation

Which Baseball position is the best if you aren't very good at throwing balls very fast and far?

We're in the upper cut swing, go for dingers era. Kind of like how basketball is in the chuck 3 pointers era.

Pitchers will find an adjustment and hopefully we'll see a return to more contact hitting. The Royals won the 2015 WS playing like that, so the style isn't dead, just hibernating.

The adjustment is raising the strike zone/umpires calling high strikes.
If pitchers can sit comfortably at the letter knowing they won't get squeezed, upper cuts will be neutralized and hitters will be forced to balance their swings more.
