Are you for or against the term "Baby Bombers"?
Charles Gomez
It doesn't matter they've all been busts, fuck this shit team, Steinbrenner needs to liquidate the brand and just honor the past
Jeremiah Brooks
>be in fantasy league >get notification >"J. Lucroy is not starting for the Rangers today >well that's okay, I have Grandal as a backup >get another notification >Y. Grandal is not starting for the Dodgers today >fuck
Jack Morgan
Baby X has always been a bust term. I remember the Phillies "Baby Aces"
Ryder Garcia
Quick, sign Andrew knapp!
Dylan Johnson
>game is on ESPN tonight
Oliver Thompson
Does faggot fuck Manfred not realize that you can't simultaneously shorten game times and add more offense? Seriously, fuck this guy.
Bentley Morales
Royals
Blake Cook
Does anyone even want the NL West to unironically come down to the Rockies and DBacks?
Seems boring
Matthew Walker
The IBB rule actually disgusts me
Evan Morgan
Rockies.
Mason Cooper
If you're reading this, it's too late.
Isaac Harris
...
Camden Anderson
yes because fuck the doyers and jints and their autistic fans
Carson Campbell
salvador perez has 4 consecutive games with a HR
Jaxson Thompson
But there's no real rivalry or banter between Arizona and Colorado
Daniel Wood
Your mom had four consecutive days with my dick in her ass.
Jordan Rodriguez
>implying the Dodgers see the Giants as their rivals
The Yankees, Cardinals, and Red Sox are our rivals
David Gray
MARINERS!
Grayson Clark
nice
Kayden Miller
i guarantee the banter would continue even if they're both shit
Evan Martinez
wat
Hudson Brown
I'm sorry.
Juan Davis
its been a bad week Cano-Cruz-Seager cant be this shit forever though right?
Evan Diaz
Yes, fuck los doyers, jints, and podraces.
Matthew Baker
>and podraces.
What did they do?
Cooper Kelly
well that's kind of impressive
Evan Howard
The only one I think will bounce back is Seager. Cano and Cruz are old farts now.
Daniel Barnes
Nothing. Their irrelevance is funny. At least now they're the only outlet for San Diego sports fans.That, and they have some cool throwbacks.
Nolan Sanchez
it wouldnt surprise me if Cruz was done but Cano was great last year and i think he will have a slow decline, not drop off completely in one year
Luke Edwards
>mfw someone likes the new IBB rule near me
Cooper Martinez
It's not that big of a deal, honestly. You Redditors love your histrionics. Literally shaking right now I can't even
Carter Perez
Ass Rags thread
Isaiah Fisher
Rays need to move to Montreal RIGHT NOW
Alexander Cooper
It does absolutely nothing for pace of play though. IBB were dropping rapidly, and were the lowest they've been since like 1962 when there weren't even 30 teams. Even if IBBs weren't dropping, they take like 20 seconds at most to do. No one is going to watch a game because you cut 20 seconds off of it. The rule is extremely impractical.
Christopher Miller
Those are the histrionics I was talking about, yeah
Ethan Wood
>Completely valid criticism >Histrionics I don't think you know what that word means
Brayden Campbell
Did TY date your sister or something? Why are you so angry?
Mason White
not that guy, but are you two the same person?
Sebastian Green
No, I live in the (arguably) good part of Texas
Dominic Jackson
I am that guy and it's really not a big deal
Ethan Reed
Before: >one the more tense parts of the game, build-up of tension as the next batter prepares for a big at-bat, pitcher has to keep the pitches in-line or risk runners on base scoring in a dramatic fashion
Now: >the announcers don't even realize it's happening until the manager has alread given the signal
Aaron Myers
Yes yes and it kicked your dog and called you short I literally can't
Jaxson Walker
nobody even moves kek
Isaiah Long
>I literally can't
...go back to /reddit/? I know. We all know.
Carter Flores
It's a bad rule, everyone hates it.
Grayson Barnes
>asstros
Henry Lopez
also watching guys get hits during what was supposed to be an intentional walk is hilarious
Mason Parker
This happened like 3 times ever. The rule is retarded, but citing this as the rationale for why is pretty misguided.
Jack Brown
I miss Jeremy Guthrie already.
Logan Morris
And now it will never happen a 4th time. That could change the outcome of an important game.
Joseph Nelson
>you're not allowed to like fun things
Levi James
The Cleveland Indians desu
Jace Anderson
Are losers and will never win a World Series ever again. GO REDS!
Christopher Price
Nowhere in my post did I say anything that could be miscontrued as that. Why are you so defensive?
Austin Anderson
>That's 20 straight starts allowing 3 runs or less for Norris. Longest among active MLB pitchers
Adrian Reed
this astros tripfaggot is pretty excitable
Lincoln Johnson
Welcome to Commercialball, lad
Go Tribe! Going to Monsters game with the senpai and won't be able to shitpost with you all. Avoid the fucking sweep, please.
Bentley Ortiz
You flat-out stated taking away the possibility of a fun thing happening is not a good reason to be against the change.
Lucas Long
>Houston >arguably good part of Texas
Ayden Barnes
The only good part of Texas is the Panhandle.
Juan Morris
he's a faggot in game threads literally red dit
Dylan Bell
I hope you find genuine happiness in your life one day, false-flagger-kun. I don't want you committing suicide when >we raise the commish's trophy.
Nathan Flores
>implying I've reached my full potential yet buckle up friendo
Let's just agree that the hill country is the only REALLY good part
Bentley Rogers
It's not, but not because "you're not allowed to like fun things", but because the rarity of that happening is infinitesimal. That's like saying that a (hypothetical) rule where a batted ball is declared to be an out if it hits a fielder on the fly is bad because one time Jose Canseco got hit on the head for a home run. It's clearly a shitty rule, but that specific circumstance is not the reason why.
Jeremiah Jenkins
since when does the marlin gets a sunday night game?
Jace Jenkins
>Austin is a leftist hell-hole >Houston is shit with residents that have a false sense of grandeur >DFW has the rags >The Panhandle is vast emptiness >South Texas is on the border >Galveston There's literally no good part of Texas.
Mason Roberts
'no'
this and the Big Bend are the acceptable answers
Jackson Richardson
Strasburg is overrated
Kevin Wright
you're not the reason why we're on ESPN
Carter Clark
Rings from the eighties don't count lol even the Yankees have rings from this century
Gabriel Clark
Why don't the Carolinas have a team.
Elijah Myers
do muh big market. I forget that espn only cares about la, nyc, and boston
Nicholas Wilson
Actually all of Texas is pretty awful, please stop talking about it and just succeed back to Mexico.
Aaron Sanchez
If the reason for the hypothetical rule change was an effort to shorten game length in an effort to attract more fans to the game, I would completely agree with you that such a change is asinine.
Hunter Lopez
A Carolinas team would be super comfy
Logan Young
chicago too, now that the lifelongs won the eries. it's mainly that syndergaard is pitching though, he's a big draw
Samuel Peterson
Because the Marlins haven't moved to Montreal and the Rays haven't moved to Raleigh yet
Zachary King
probably because the major league teams alreay have minor league affliates there.
Julian Nelson
Jeremy Hellickson ded
Asher Martinez
Not true
Jose Phillips
ffs some of these Griffey missions are impossible because people keep quitting before a full game can be played REEEEEEEEEEEEE
Gabriel White
He is though
Cameron Jones
Pilates man BTFO by a better steroid user
Samuel Clark
Pay no attention to him.
Crossing the Sonoran Desert and climbing the wall. Then traveling west to settle near Chavez Ravine --- has fried and his brain. He's starting to compare Los Chokers to double-digit ring wielders.
Benjamin Watson
Genuinely curious, based on which criteria that you deem fair?
Cooper Allen
Jeremy Hellickson done for season with a lacerated lung
Ayden Collins
Am I being rused?
Liam Rodriguez
He has a hand injury, done after 5.
Alexander Garcia
Yeah, he hurt his finger
Josiah Stewart
I hope I never see the Yankees win ever again. Fuck this team I'll go cheer for a winner like the Cardinals, Red Sox, and Dodgers.
Mason Gomez
Washington's helmet logo looks like it's a chunk glued on rather than a decal

Lucas Clark
>Trump will never live down that he started WW3 and refused to throw the first pitch
Wow what a keck
Nathaniel Bailey
Yeah and when will the Yankees win another? The Dodgers are going to win one in the next five years and the Yankees are only going to get worse. t. Loyal Yankee fan telling it like it is.

I'd rather make out with 3 guys for free beer than see my team go to the World Series and lose.
