Fuck Price

jays

nth for horrible Red Sux contracts

Jays

You probably did but it was like a bag of potato chips or something.

I should have seen this coming when the reports came out that Boston was really his second choice to Saint Louis and the only reason he came here was because of a 30 million dollar upgrade.

He didn't have the fucking stomach for this place, never fucking liked our fans and never talked nice of the city, and he wanted to play for a city that has a dedicated but rather easier fanbase in the tardinals.

My hope at this point is that he pitches better the next two years just enough to make him think he can make something on the market, and then opt out because he obviously doesnt want to be here.

Dumb faggots

still hype I saw this live senpaitachi
he's been my favorite player for as long as I can remember, pretty sure he's the reason I love baseball in the first place, since my parents sure don't

had this weekend on my calendar since before the season started. Thought it unlikely until he got a hot start and started hoping. Then he stayed too fucking hot and I thought I was fucked, but the stars aligned senpaitachi. good shit


also he might have ruined my life because I'm pretty sure he played a part in getting me into weebshit

/blog

It's only august, rags-kun

a 7 game lead is nothing

>he played a part in getting me into weebshit

Ditto

Getting to watch him in his prime got me interested in Japanese stuff.

Now I'm here forever.

I didn't ask for your opinion, cuckold

Mariners had a tough schedule in July.
August looks pretty good. Watch out rags fags

>@ Athletics
>@ Angels
>vs Brewers
>vs Yankees
>@ White Sox

great response

so intellectually stimulating, for a rags fan.

(You)

god dammit, I left /mlb/ when he was like 0-3, come back hours later and missed #3000

fuck me

CONGRATULATIONS ICHIRO THE GREAT

>A doubleheader between the Mariners and the Indians in Cleveland on Tuesday brings to mind one of the greatest baseball quotes of all time. In April 2007, a four-game series between the teams had been canceled because of a snowstorm, and the games were being made up piecemeal as the season went along. On June 11, a Monday, the Mariners used a scheduled off day to visit Cleveland for the second of four games. Someone asked Ichiro Suzuki how he felt about the trip, and he did the rest:

>“To tell the truth, I’m not excited to go to Cleveland, but we have to,” Ichiro said. “If I ever saw myself saying I’m excited going to Cleveland, I’d punch myself in the face, because I’m lying.”

We gotta win 2 out of 3 against the Tigs desu

Then it looks bretty easy going forward.

Why is he so cute bros?

I watched that throw with my dad at home.

That single throw got me into baseball as a kid.

Need some payback for that 4 game sweep last time. Definitely the low point of the season

Who is more overrated /mlb/

Nolan Ryan or Derek Jeter?

post your picks for NL and AL Cy Young

>Trout with the golden sombrero on his birthday

wew

Bartolo Colon
James Shields

Jeter

>AL
J.A. Happ
>NL
Jake Arrieta

Ichiro is true samurai.

>NL
Strasburg

>AL
No fucking clue. I would say Sale but >whos

Clemens reduced Ryan's mythos from "Most developed power pitcher" to "Power pitcher who learned to control enough to seem crafty"

>my first three at bats my body felt like Justin Bour's I was just so heavy

what a guy

Chris Sale
Stephen Strasburg

Noah Syndergaard
Chris Tillman

Kyle Hendricks
Aaron Sanchez

>Ichiro will die in your lifetime

Sale/Kershaw

Fresh OC

someone should cap all of these and make a collage, and when the season ends we can bring it back out

7/10 not bad

you know, that sounds very reddit

>watching the phillies triple play vs padres
>sounds like a home crowd
>it's in san diego

i guess #4000 is gonna be a HR

I think I was doing army shit when this happened but why did Sup Forums start filtering words like {senpai}?

My predictions:

AL:
1. Stephen Wright
2. Cole Hamels
3. Corey Kluber
4. Zach Britton
5. J.A. Happ

NL:
1. Kyle Hendricks
2. Jake Arrieta
3. Madison Bumgarner
4. Stephen Strasburg
5. Clayton Kershaw

I would like to put deGrom or Syndergaard in but I can't justify that prediction right now.

looks like he thought it was a home run, cruised out of the box, could have had the inside the parker had he not

why accomplished at away studiam????

because the marlins have a full outfield and ichiro couldn't get enough at-bats at home

because he wanted me to see it live of course

TYBIchiro my greatest ally

this is the most retarded predicition ive ever seen

how?

My guess is the pressure on him to get 3,000 just kept building and building and he just wanted to get it out of the way so he could focus. The Marlins are still in the wild card race and this is honestly a bit of a distraction for him.

how the fuck is Arrieta in front of Bumgarner and Strasburg, hell, even Kershaw should be infront of him. I would also argue wheter Bumgarner shouldn't be infront of Hendricks, much more stellar performances, 3rd most SOs, pitched 30 (!) innings more than Hendricks in 2 less GPs, and would be about 17-2 now, without a retarded offense

o-ok

f a m

it's a prediction, now where they stand right now
there are ~two months left
PREDICTION

>Rangers only play the Mariners 7 more times

Why is this allowed?

...

>No Oakland,
What did they do?

>this is honestly a bit of a distraction for him.
Understatement.

The 3000 pressure was massively fucking with his game.

Not be in the NL West

This. Hendricks is pitching the way Arrieta was this time last year. He's basicallly what kept the Cubs treading water the month before the All-Star break. Also

>Arrieta
>Hendricks
>Lester

That is a godly playoff rotation. Then you add Lackey and Hammel to the bullpen that has Rondon as the setup guy and Chapman closing and all of a sudden the Cubs probably have the best postseason bullpen to go along with their starting pitching.

Strasburg and Tillman/Sale/Happ

>Tillman
>one blowup from a 4 ERA

"no"

You're alright Dback guy

You're alright

>tfw Cubs fan who thinks people predicting Hendricks for Cy are insane.
Not only are his legit stats not worthy, but his meme ones (W/L, FIP) are not either.

WELCOME BACK BABY TO THE DISC'O' FIRE

Everyone except Bumgarner would be a disgrace

...

Name two classier, more likeable big leaguers.

Protip: you can't

Hey /mlb/ longtime poster, first time lurker here. Does anyone else think that Masahiro Tanaka should, like, pitch the 8th inning for the Yankees now?

Jim Thome was up there. Nobody ever had a bad thing to say about him and he was never once suspected of PED use.

TANAKA IS UH STAWTIN PITCHA

YOU WAITED TWO OUAHS ON DA PHONE..... TWO OUAHS. GET LAWST

Hey Sup Forums big fan, love everything you do. We all know the Braves are going through some issues with their manager. Do you think Yogi Berra is doing anything right now?

I actually hope this happens

>yfw phillies lifetime record at Petco Park: 32-11

Alex Rodriguez was framed and tried in the court of public opinion

>A-Rod was treated with kid gloves through his entire career and got away with a slap on the wrist.

He should have been banned from the sport ten years ago

A-Rod was an integral part of the 2009 Championship
