first for my shit fetish

If you aren't a Yankees fan you should kill yourself because you will never know the joy of winning.

in b4 Mariners anime guy and royals guy

injuns desu

Best team in baseball. Just swept 2 of the toughest rotations in the league.

why wont daniel murphy stop punishing the mets?

Mariners!

That's nice but do you have 27 rings?

>It's April which means washington fans haven't experienced the yearly collapse

god is punishing the mets

A tradition and commitment to excellence.

And nothing less.

It's >our year

You can' only respond to this post if your team is .500 or better

NOT SO FAST, M*TS

Who says baseball has no parity?

Cleveland Andre Knotts

The Padres and Angels are both at 8-12.

Which team will finish with a better record lads?

Because the entire Yankee legacy hinges on the fact that they won a couple dozen championships before the invention of cars

The Phillies are pretty average and the Mets are /damaged/ from 16 innings with the Marlins.

They haven't swept us though!

how do we fix the Giants

Outlaw dirt bikes

For funsies this is the whole article
fivethirtyeight.com/features/we-rated-every-rotation-in-mlb-how-does-your-teams-stack-up/
according to 538 (the guys who made it aren't Nate Silver so its probably correct for you Trumpers) the top 5 rotations are:
1. Cubs
2. Dodgers
3. Red Sox
4. Blue Jays
5. Mets
After that its the Nationals and then everyone else in a massive cluster.

even if MadBum had decided not to go biking, it wouldnt fix the bats being dead

We aren't damaged from that 16 inning game. It's from how the hitting can't show up even with good pitching. It doesn't help when daniel "can't catch ball" Murphy is killing the ball against us


But we will have the last laugh

What do you guys think we could get for trout?

>accidentally leave McCullers and Nova on my bench this week
>still winning 424-208

It's cuz these muhfuckas don't knoooooo

The 16 inning game was the start of the overworked-ness that led to our injuries. We should be fine after this series with the Braves and can probably go 1-2 with the Nationals or 2-1 if we are lucky. They aren't that far from us when healthy.

Smart AND pretty-a rare combo..

nothing cuz he's trash

bet she eats ass famalam

Is this what cancer feels like?
A slow and painful death and nothing you do can stop it?

Need to bring up Tim Tebow

this, tbqhwyf

who are you to deny the son of the lord of his glory

Bregman and that's it

fire the entire coaching staff who are clearly stuck in the early 1900's who believe the players are their workhorses.

I seriously would not be surprised if at the end of the season and the Mets aren't in contention, we see Tebow in an MLB game

literally bring in the fences a bit and benefit from the extra 20 or so homeruns you get from belt and posey

It's not pain if your a Mets rangers fan. At least you have them to distract you

I am, but nothing compares to my Mets. Baseball is life.

he'd be lucky to bat 2/3 of his weight in AA or AAA. In the pros he'd be a better hitter than a handful of pitchers and thats about it.

No one in queens could take that franchise seriously again if they allowed it to happen. Right now he is a clown that sells tickets in the minors and thats where he'll stay until he gets another analyst/announcer gig

How are the M's so shit when they have Felix, Cruz and Cano?

How were they so shit when they had Ken Griffey Jr, Ichiro, and Randy Johnson?

Felix is the best of them and he was never a real CY candidate.

They aren't shit. They've lost a bunch of close games and it's early in the season. No one else is really a threat in that div anyway besides the Disastros

looks like she only takes roided up guido dick

you just named three players over the hill

think you just answered your own question

lol

*hits a dinger off of you*

does sp agree with this

*collapses in the 9th inning*

*eats Whataburger near me*
s-say you got some to share?

> ELO
> baseball

Those teams had some good runs they just never made the series

He's already won one and should have won another but Kluber stole it from him

who in their right mind would get swept in a 4-game series against the 2017 >rags? This is either insanity or some kind of 9D chess

I prefer someone intelligent, nihilistic, and with a wicked sense of humor.

like me.

How were the White Sox so shit when they had Sale, Quintana, and Eaton?

3 players do not make a team.

*rags*

>36% chance of making the playoffs

sounds about right

I want this HOU/CLE series to be as good as it has the potential to be

I honestly, honestly don't know how the Royals have won even one game this year even with the pitching being passable
They look absolutely lost

They are magically bad and good. They lose games they should win and win games they should lose.

They didn't look bad at all when they were in Houston. I was thinking they had a chance to be significantly better than expected this season. Kinda shocking.

daily reminder

Obviously the Red Sox and above are pretty much going to make the playoffs but otherwise yes

Everything that guy touches goes 500 feet, it's nuts

He's a true three-outcomes hitter like adam dunn and barry bonds. It'll be a homer, a walk, or a strikeout every time.

>rags pulled a reverse rags
>general wasn't spammed with >sgar

Really makes one ponder in reflection

>but Kluber stole it from him
Wrong.

>Dunn

Compare the stats. Felix had one of the greatest stretches ever for a pitcher that year. He should have won it

Felix should've won it easily don't kid yourself

Bonds could hit though

put some respect on his name

They were even until that September when Felix got shelled and Kluber stayed dominant.

Felix was great but Kluber was better.

>don't kid yourself
I'm not the one in denial here. The voters got it right.

Felix should have won

The only reason Kluber got it was because of strikeouts.

injury riddled, broken bat jints

fuck goryks hernandez

see

Do you think if the Mets tank this year (a year that there were very high expectations for) that Citi Field might get struck with some Jewish lightning?

Go back and look at their respective Septembers that season. That's not the only reason why Kluber won.

see this post

Literally laughing my head off at your misfortune m8.

Wow I didn't know the Cy Young award suddenly became the Pitcher of the Month of September award.

Wow, that isn't what I said at all. Don't be mad because Felix shit the bed when they both were neck and neck for it.

quack quack

Did you also bring up how Kluber had the better WAR and now we can hear the debate about WAR??

I'm laughing t-too hahah

true, they profile the same although bonds was far better.
Gallohas stuck out, walked, or homered in about 57% of his PAs this year. I think there's reason to believe his overall hitting will improve considering the .241 BABIP he's toting right now.

Find an advanced metric that said Felix > Kluber that year. Go ahead, I'll wait

2.14 ERA in the AL
.91 WHIP
Better ERA plus
Better BABIP
16 consecutive starts in which he pitched at least seven innings and allowed two runs of fewer, a feat that hasn't been done since Tom Seaver

>Better BABIP

Kluber had better WAR, FIP and xFIP, SIERA, K/9 rate, and more wins (yes, still matters to some voters as dumb as it is)

>BABIP
Literally why would that matter?

Miller's hurt. Might as well give the rox the division title now.

>Beating the injury addled mets at the end of each game
See you at full strength faggots

Batting average on balls in play you fucking philistine

I think he was implying that BABIP is a meme statistic to include
