We currently have technical difficulties. Power outage at Safeco Field.

>that murphy slugging

Justin Upton will hit a HR tonight.

To be fair, Zobrist, Murphy, and Fowler are BABIPbabbies and are slowly falling back to earth. Only based Braun can maintain his production.

QUICK

MODS ARE ASLEEP

POST KNUCKLEBALLS

Why don't you make the gamethread

...

Yankees btfo both of them, and hard.

why dont memeball catchers just use a bigger glove?

Confirmed Royals players listen to Death Grips

I'm not cut out for that kind of responsibility.

Swelmet

They literally do. Wright carries around and extra sized glove for his catchers to use that gives them typically 2-3 inches more in overall reach.

It's just a stupidly difficult pitch to catch. Thing's a fucking whiffleball and it comes in like a rock.

>btfo of young and dickey

literally not even a mediocre accomplishment

And that folks is the bitter rivalry between the Mariners and Padres

I hope the Indians aren't entering one of their little league batting phases

>Marlins field still has soccer lines on it

It's just a repeat of last year. Runners get on with

Who are the Padres?

Of the two in the webm who would you rather have on your mlb team?

Indians Rags

Jesus christ this all star voting. I really hate how it's gotten popular to go "meme this" and "meme that" all the time on Sup Forums until it doesn't mean anything any more. But holy shit. If there were ever a meme team, the Royals are it.

Which field is the worst? Rays?

>world's biggest flooded living room

Thing is, the royals take pride in that. Most teams would absolutely hate it, but meme magic is real to them. .

>Royals
>Meme Team

I think you mean the White Sox or Blue Jays

tropicana, oakland, toronto, atlanta

Rays for the catwalks and A's for the sewage

ok so I need predictions.

who is going to get jose fernandez at the end of the season and what shit are the marlisn to get for him? I am not saying he is shit but we all know that he is getting traded for pieces

...

user. There's other qualities to a meme team besides what happened with the Jays, and Sox.

The fact of the matter is, almost everything the royals do is meme magic, meme related. Not entirely a bad thing,

Look at this come back, completely memes. Probably 99% fueled by the salvador perez injury, the royals couldn't lose that game after that, not for their beloved team mascot.

Ok. If there were ever a meme FAN BASE, the Royals have it.

yankees or red sox

hes got 3 more arb years why would they trade him now

red sox, dodgers, and probably yankees will all be in for him

How will he fare in the AL?

That would be White Sox or Red Sox. Throw in Dodgers or Blue Jays as well.

Royals just seem happy that their team's doing well. A meme fanbase is literally a joke.

White Sox fans are notorious crybabies who shame all positive thinking fans as "bandwagonners"

Red Sox fans spam REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE after every pitcher allows 5 ER

Dodgers fans are DG and DG incarnates

Blue Jays fans are fucking leafs, say no more.

Got you senpai.

>Your Team
>Their 2016 Record

>Just Fuck My Shit Up Senpai

we have nothing we can trade for him, loria wants cheap young prospects without any service time and high upside

user, come on.
What makes the royals a meme team isn't the fact they're happy their team is doing well, it's how the fans show it, and even the way they play baseball. It's hilariously great.

And kansas city fans are content with just existing. But the royals are basically the GS Warriors of baseball so the memes have beeb hot lately

...

royals rays

post ur face when Scott fucken Kazmir ends pilates' W streak tonight.

KEVIN PILLAR WALK ALERT

I REPEAT KEVIN PILLAR HAS WALKED

THIS IS NOT A DRILL, THERE WAS NO HBP OR ANYTHING

Put this guy in the ASG

Cubs vs Dodgers

confirmed giants players listen to death grips

late jints at barves thread:

Nice quads

Yu Darvish will go to the world series before the Dodgers

This is Scott Servais leaving Seattle

>Mariners #2 offense in the AL

This meme magic will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it.

>whos

>Who's

@CurtoWorld
Rainiers are starting Jonathan Aro today in place of James Paxton, who received lots of #hugs, but I've got no further info.

oh fuck. pls dont do this dipoto.

What is a better measure of a team's offense? Runs scored or OPS?

wRC+ or whatever doesn't count

Right before Theo left, he drafted the following players for the Red Sox in the 2011 draft:

Matt Barnes
Blake Swihart
Henry Owens
Jackie Bradley Jr.
Noe Ramirez
Mookie Betts
Travis Shaw

This man is literally a god.

wait, who's getting sent down? Romero?

It's pretty stupid how good he is at recognizing talent.

A's

#HUGWATCH #HAPPENING

Who would we be getting?

...

No we need Romero until Martin comes back. I'm scared about a trade happening

what are you doing jerry

Since Marte's also coming back I'd imagine O'Malley

Unbelievable. I wonder if any Red Sox fans hold resentment for him leaving? He directly helped the Red Sox win three World Series, established a sustainable foundation, and made the Yankees become their bitches for the first time ever.

Unreal.

Marte comes back on the 6th

nice pic m8 :^

Paxton was traded to Philly for Rodolfo Duran and Alberto Tirado

hmmm

DONT DO THIS TO ME

you best be sourcing that shit

Not what I wanted either but he's injury prone as it is, there's too much risk in trusting him too much.

I'm the one who wanted Karns traded after Spring Training, look where he is now? Might even be our best pitcher right now.

Oh it looks like that Twitter post was deleted.

Either way, I wouldn't be surprised.

DG is laying it down.

You pilates defenders gonna pick it up???

You don't want to trust having SP depth for Karns who almost certainly won't be pitching 200 innings, or Walker who probably won't be either?

You happened to respond to a Red Sox fan.

Most of us are pissed at Henry/Werner/Lucchino for running him out of town.

At the time, we were just coming off the worst fucking collapse in history literally ever, so we were all pretty pissed. But once things calmed, people have gotten really upset that Theo was basically kicked out/fired by the upper management here.

it came down to an ultimatum for the Ownership group to choose between Lucchino and Epstein as for who would have controlling power of the team

Lucchino won out I suppose, the slick lawyer bastard.

Larry and Theo hated each other, always did over the years and they always disagreed on shit, so that was the last straw for Theo.

I don't blame him for leaving. He's the only reason I don't hate the cubs tbqh with you Joe.

There's the trade deadline for that.

Trading Paxton for anything other than another SP would be fucking moronic

Who is this vaginal vampire?

>Kluber

Damn, I kinda feel sorry now. But we're very happy to have him. I get to drive by his house all the time :^)

...

Sasuga Aoki

Derek Jeter

I see rumors of a 6-man rotation. Also weird since Felix is pitching tomorrow.

>not a trade
BORING

Felix going on the 60 day DL for Tommy John surgery.

>TJ Cotterill@TJCotterill
>Pat Listach only said reason James Paxton isn't starting is because he's "doing something alternative. ... I don't know what's going on

Found it.

? Did he decide he wants to be an outfielder? What the fuck?
