Otani to mlb when senpai uguu

I can hear the goblin man screaming at this image
Bansai, OP

Honestly, why did you doubt them in the Offseason /mlb/?

I hope Ichiro retires soon.

So I can see him in the HOF before I die.

I am probably gonna die in the not distant future.

I hope he coaches somehow.
He's got some bantz in him (English and Spanish from stories) and he's got that sort of charisma.

having any cancer?

Is it because you're iving in Australia?

sooner or later dechu

FIRE DAVE ROBERTS HOW ARE WE SIX AND A HALF GAMES BACK ON THE FUCKING GIANTS THEY HAVE JEFF "WAS ON THE WHOS" SALMONELLA AND WE HAVE THE GREATEST PITCHER IN HISTORY IT'S NOT FAIR REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

you mad nigguh?

A's tbf

What's with the Dodgers hitting this year?

>this year

they have been incapable of hitting with RISP for like 3 or 4 years now

they're a long ball offense fundamentally
so when they slump it looks even worse than normal

>check Saturday's pitching probables
>Salazar vs Shields
>Kipnis road grey jersey giveaway
Who /going to a ballgame this weekend/ here?

>Per @JonathanMayo, @Indians & #14 overall pick Will Benson agree to $2.5m (slot $2,973,700).
Should help with signing Nolan Jones.

>Saturday's pitching

I Want Too Believe

It's happening.

Man am I gonna be disgruntled if he looks good and I think how the Sox missed on him and instead got James "gets booed on his second start" Shields

NL babby

WHO /CONTRERAS/ HERE

...

Reminder that this actually happened

Time to stockpile distractions from the game.

>rags

>the smoldering exploded meth lad of kansass shitty

Also that ended the no-hitter, perfecto was ended in the eighth.

>21.41

That's an edit right?

>randers

Nope. A pitcher who was in the world series and won it not long ago actually unironically has a 21 ERA.

>rands

>won

James Shields has never won a world series.

>0-2 in WS

James had a rough life

Trying to pour it on the whos help me out here

How the fuck did they win 3 straight pennants? Pitching alone?

pls don't bully Big Jimmy guys, he's having a tough time

He had to face Madbum twice.

Who's fan detected

I meant that he was in the WS in 2008 too.

Hay guise, sorry i'm late, was shitposting in /bet/.

>mfw it was off Rodney

何の問題、友人ません

Pitching > *

Why is /bet/ even allowed on Sup Forums?

The Giants basically choked the division away in '14

Still turned out ok, though

Somehow worked for the Giants. 2014 was a minor miracle in a way thanks to Madbum.

Me

>lose perfect game, no hitter, maddux, CGSO, all in 1 inning

they unironically discuss more sport than the average general or gamethread on Sup Forums

he walked a guy the inning before that

you are butt

SAY THAT TO MY FACE AND NOT ONLINE, MOTHERFUCKER, SEE WHAT HAPPENS

Why does he look like a snack bar in that picture?

last digit is how many more shutout innings Fulmer adds to his streak tonight

>tfw no CGSO

>BIG
>GAME
>JAMES

go get 'em big time timmy jim :3

He doesn't have a 21 ERA. That's over the last 3 starts

To dodgers in 2 years
>fav player is kershaw
>maeda on team
>dodgers have history of jpn pitchers like nomo, kuroda, saito
>money
>in NL which allows him to hit, something he absolutely wants to continue at mlb level
>LA has jpn population
>almost signed with dodgers after high school

Because he plays for Chiraq.

They won't let him go past 6 unless he has a no hitter or he's dealing

Pirates vs Cubs

Saving /mlb/ with Indians bump

>tfw you get to play the braves

fuck off

>NL gets the luxury of stat padding AAA teams
Its not fair

"I don't like to run very much" Bartolo Colon

mlb should ban japanese/korean players until it can figure out a more sensible way other than just >let doyers, red sux, and bankees hoard all the good players

>dont get to play the braves, reds, or padres

fucking NL babbys they cant keep getting away with it

The dodgers are hoarding Cubans more than anything else.

remind me which league the twins and white sox are in again

>tfw youre a AAAA team

include cuba too because they don't follow the same rules that the other hispanic countries do

>the white sox have won only 2 series in a month
>one was the against mest
>(You)

>>the white sox have won only 2 series in a month
you're literally making my point for me here pal

You can't force him to go to another team. The dodgers and mariners have two important japanese players in Nomo and Ichiro in their history. Maybe those other teams should have looked towards Japanese players in the past to establish a culture there. They will likely look to emulate their national and childhood heroes.

It also helps that the cities have a jpn population.

>one was against the babby league team

is this the first time anyone's ever hit 100 in japan?

>Phillies
>Braves
>Reds
>Padres
>Brewers

>give up castro for a shit pitcher
>be rumored to be shopping for bullpen help
>bring up best catching prospect
>be said to have scouts at said bullpen games
>theo: seeking revenge from the organization that let him go after he lifted the curse

>mfw theo cucks the bo sox n trades away prospects to their arch rivals n wins a chip in the process cementing himself as the goat gm

>You will never again see a one man single-handedly carry an entire team to a WS with the GOAT postseason pitching performance

You'll see it this year. James Shields will take the White Sox all the way.

The rest of the rotation had like a 9.91 era

Pretty sure my old high school team could beat the Barves desu

>hahahahahahha
;_; no

GOAT realignment scenario:

NL East:
Atlanta Braves
Cincinnati Reds
Miami Marlins
Montreal Expos
New York Mets
Philadelphia Phillies
Pittsburgh Pirates
Washington Nationals

NL West:
Arizona Diamondbacks
Chicago Cubs
Colorado Rockies
Milwaukee Brewers
Los Angeles Dodgers
San Diego Padres
San Francisco Giants
St. Louis Cardinals

AL East:
Baltimore Orioles
Boston Red Sox
Chicago White Sox
Cleveland Indians
Detroit Tigers
New York Yankees
Tampa Bay Rays
Toronto Blue Jays

AL West:
Houston Astros
Kansas City Royals
Los Angeles Angels
Minnesota Twins
Oakland Athletics
Portland/San Antonio Memes
Seattle Mariners
Texas Rangers

To be fair, the bullpen was pretty damn great (with the exception of Hunter Strickland of course) and based Rembrandt even got the win in game 7.

because hes a vassal manager

the real manager is Friedman and the moneyball crew in the front office

That bullpen will never be back again ;_;

Castro deal was as much about freeing up money for Zobrist as it was acquiring Adam Warren

You mean Friedman the Jew and having Roberts around like a slave manager to do his bidding

>Lopez old and terrible
>Casilla nearly leading the league in blown saves
>Affeldt retired
>Romo hurt and has horrific platoon splits when he's healthy

Remember when the core four were the most stable and effective bullpen in baseball for like half a decade?

im okay with this

honor and glory

if you were going to do 2 divisions, this is how it'd have to work

but the Cubs, Brewers, Cardinals, and Twins are at a disadvantage for having to make so many West Coast flights

Which is exactly why it'll never work.

>second place in the east gets a wild card this season

I'm ok with this I think
Hopefully we get kershit so he can choke again
