Hi /mlb/

...

Hi

The Ms are gonna win it all this season. Cap this.

thanks man, tough feels

The memes got to him. There's no helping him now

...

Is bradposting finally coming back?

>Rags

I was wondering what happened to it. Tigers fans all but disappeared in the off-season. I mean, you'd even see the occasional t_s or whos fan but no tigers fans whatsoever. What happened?

Team Israel tho

their one attention-whoring fan is a casual handegg cuck?

The truly devoted tigers fans on here are windsorfags meaning they don the leaf.

They've been posing as jays fans to sow discord to stave off the boredom of the off-season while calling no attention whatsoever to the tigers. Notice the disparity in jays vs tigers related posts here to the point that people are sick of any leaf/"jays" fan.

Now you know the truth.

no we did that ourselves

don't try to act like you filthy casuals were too busy watching shit cuckegg teams

Chris Russo has a massive boner for Aaron Sanchez.

>NCAA football has the same teams in the championship game as last year
>NFL AFC playoffs feature the same teams advancing we've seen every year for the last decade
>NFL conference championships are blowouts over by halftime
>NBA Finals matchup will be the same as the last two years
>NBA Finals is always LeBron's team vs West
>NCAA basketball has the same teams atop the rankings as they do every year
>Every major Euro soccer league features the same 1 or 2 teams that win
I can't wait for baseball to start. It'll be nice watching a sport with actual parity where you don't already know how it ends.

NL MVP: Votto
AL MVP: Donaldson
NL Cy: Kershaw/Syndergaard
Al Cy: Sale/Duffy

Votto: hit .400 in second half last yr. Bruce left which leaves him as the westbrook of baseball (except that the reds suck)- except it'll be him getting on base instead of a triple double

Donaldson: Edwin left, donaldson has something to prove/try to fill the void

Syndergaard: Should've won cy last year. Highest WAR, FIP, etc; but if Kershaw stays healthy and can keep throwing sidearm well, then nobody has a chance.

Kershaw: don't really need an explaination.

Sale: I think he'll do well in Bawstahn. He spent his whole career in Shitcago and he seemed to be genuinely happy from what I saw from the Sawx fanfest.

Duffy: last competent pitcher on the Royals besides Herrera. Feel like he could breakout and become a bonafide ace. Bretty nasty last year.

Duffy CY Young
I know youregrieving but this is just stupid

Literally every player you picked is wrong.

AL MVP: Abreu
NL MVP: Eaton
AL Cy: Sale
NL Cy: Quintana (on the pirates)

you didn't watch him pitch.
i know it should be: saunders, pearce, cecil, and sanchez mr leaf
just saying everything is wrong just shows your ignorance

>Votto
Dont think so and now that Bruce is gone they have even less reason to pitch to him.
>Donaldson
Perhaps but picking anyone but trout is fucking stupid.
>NL CYA
Kershaw if healthy wins like usual.
>AL CYA
>Duffy
Lmao please.
>Sale
Possible but I would pick a few others over him

AL CYA - Kluber
AL MVP - Trout
NL CYA - Kershaw
NL MVP - Corey Seager

It's so close yet so far. I swear offseason tedium hacks away years of my life expectancy.

>AL MVP

#bringvotto home

you're right about pearce and I desperately want to live to see Cecil get a CY

if michael saunders ever wins MVP I will fucking kill myself

votto is a great american smallpark baby

if they aren't going to pitch to votto, how come he hit OVER .400 in the second half w/o bruce?
the easy way out is to pick trout
again, duffy switches speeds, has nasty offspeed, etc. bruh you guys don't recognize talent

i was thinking about seager being mvp tbqh

I feel embarrassed by not picking trout for AL MVP. He's so much better than everyone.

1. Rangers (95-67)
2. Mariners (90-72)
3. Astros (89-73)
4. Angels (83-81)
5. Athletics (66-96)

It is true we do have the superior beaner. Aaron > Gary.

>rags

>syndergaard for CYA 2017
>should have won in 2016 with 185IP
WOW

>Have lineup full of mashers
>Rotation has been insane

wat do /mlb/

what the fuck is up with all these retards on /mlb/ that think the angels are an over .500 team?

My sources tell me KBO player Jae-Gyun Hwang is going to the SF Giants. You heard it here first

Probably becuase they won 74 games on a completely decrepit team with injuries to 3 SP (one of which is Richard's who is a legit, the other is Heaney who is also legit) upgraded at 2B, LF, and will get their closer back.

Maybe that's why.

Athletics: 162-0
Astros: 97-65
Angels:84-80
Mariners: 12-150(they gotta play the rangers sometime)
Rangers:0-162
pitched second half with a bone spur and led the league in FIP, was 3rd in ERA, struck out 218 while walking 43 which is a 10.7 K/9 and a 2.1 BB/9 :/

Pretty sure the season series between division rivals is 19 games. Otherwise your post is 100% accurate.

>pitched second half with a bone spur
So? We should give him the highest pitching honors or what?
>and led the league in FIP
That's good, I believe in FIP but it means nothing when Kershaw posted a FIP of 1.7 with only 35 less innings
>was 3rd in ERA
also great but only 185IP
>struck out 218 while walking 43 which is a 10.7 K/9 and a 2.1 BB/9
This is also very good but scherzer was 15 short of 300 and pitched 220IP with a 2.8

Younca can't take it away from scherzer who pitches much deeper into games. You can't do it. Syndergaard is a great pitcher but he needs to do it for 220+ to dethrone scherzer. You said it yourself though if Kershaw pitches 200 innings it's a done deal.

How many innings does Matt Harvey pitch this season?

150, dan warthen already ended his career though so it doesn't really matter if it's 100IP or 220IP

0

tommy john already scheduled

More than Bitch Hill does

fair enough
175>, hopefully

TROUT!!
TROUTROUTROUTROUT!!!!!

that's a pretty good reason tbf

look what i found

The Lions started winning right when the Tigers season ended lol

We are in hibernation

>leaf

>being casual
>canadian cuckegg fan

Yeah Tigers made a lot of big moves this offseason that required tons of discussion.. I wish they got Steve Pearce though

that's not an excuse windsor-chan

I wish we had a functioning steve pearce t-too

Holy fuck, Rays fans are the worst fucking fans on this website.

Rays have fans?

Are you blind?

Show me one rays post in this thread

Evan Longoria is the best 3B in the AL East.

That's fucking bullshit but I believe you.

Fuck you

The only rays poster that used to come here is currently in jail

hes not better than machado

>Leaf shitposting is a rays fan
lel

>Jays interested in Saltalamacchia

Over the hill catcher with declining numbers? I'll take two!

Kevin Pillar is the best CF in the AL East

yeah fuck that faggot kiermaier he's shit

He's not even the best CF named Kevin in the AL East.

To be fair queermyer is godlike in the outfield.

I dont get it, arent the rays a good fan?

>pillar will never win a gold glove because kiermaier bats too shit to play for anyone but the rasy
