the ultimate low-test meme

Thank you for breaking this one back out again. Nice feels from simpler times.

>mariners sucking a huge dick
wew

>rags

I can see libruls throwing a legit fit over the Yankees, Red Sox, Athletics, Angels, Braves, Nationals, Marlins, Dodgers, and Padres for these reasons. These are just as valid as the made-up problems people have with Chief Wahoo

>mfw espn is talking about how offensive chief wahoo is but have a big picture of the logo on the screen the entire time

lol who?

Danny Devito was the goat twin

Not enough >rags in here.

>Giants are the best actor of the bunch

Nice

So there is a better Phillie than Schmidt, the GOAT 3B?

nice "spoort" you've got there

Pajeet can throw heat
Strike one, two and three!
But pooing in loo
Is an impossible feat!

Whatever happened to those indian players disney tried to meme into the mlb?

There once was a man named Pajeet
Would shitpost all day like a NEET
Said baseball is gay
Played cricket all day
And liked to make poo in the street

Americans hate Indians

>It's Steve Pearce's birthday
>his meme poster isn't here
;_;

>Toronto 1-7
>Seattle 2-8
Are they THAT top heavy?

How come cricket players never transition to baseball? It's infinitely more money to be a baseball player

>A britbong that likes Baseball or any american sport besides Basketball
Is it christmas?

MARINERS!
2-8, just as planned

That marines v phillies WS is coming out as planned!

see britpakis generally don't give a fuck about baseball, they're too busy sucking at sports they "invented"

>Having to poo in loo

Not worth

>tfw dont get to play the Lillies today

>rags

It's an entirely different skillset

Cricket is about hitting the ball on the bounce with a flat bat and in cricket you can generally take or protect without issue.

Baseball is hitting a ball in the air with a round bat and the only way to reliably foul it off is to smack it foul.

Skillsets are too different to ever realistically see a cricket batsman/bowler adapt to a sport they've probably never played.

(Also Indian cricket leagues pay a shitload for next to no work)

I apologise for hitting enter that much, the post looks like total shit.

that was more or less my point desu

>Elvis Andrus has already hit 3 HRs this year

What the fuck

This. It's sometimes entertaining to get into a baseball vs. cricket debate, which sport is harder, etc, etc, but outside a couple of superficial similarities, the sports are vastly different.

>Skillsets are too different to ever realistically see a cricket batsman/bowler adapt to a sport they've probably never played.

>Kieran Powell, the opener who last played for West Indies in June 2014, is looking to get himself a place in an MLB franchise.

>a Yankees scout had a look at Powell in Florida this week, and was rather unimpressed.

>What exactly did he think of his hitting skills? "He sucks. He's not worth any time," the scout told ESPN.com.

Indeed.

He also has 0 SB so far which just as weird. He must have beefed up in the offseason.

The Rangers have suddenly become a dinger team again. They currently lead the league in HRs despite having played 1 less game than most teams.

>No 'stros playing today

Just why did I even wake up today?

Happy bday Steve!

Is it just me, or does it seem like offenses are scoring more runs this year?

Nope. Offenses are fire this year so far.

Probably die down once the grind starts.

...

DADS

Manfred should figure out a way to speed up the game of cricket

There isn't one team leading a division that's a legitimate contender. Enjoy your brief stays in the limelight because it ain't gonna last.

>Andre Romine leading off

Now this is too cerebral.. Even for Brad.

...

I repeat, there isn't one team leading a division that's a legitimate contender.

>Probably die down once the grind starts.

Isn't April usually supposed to be one of the better months for pitchers since it's colder and balls don't fly as far? It's very possible this early hot hitting isn't going to die down.

I think the league might be experiencing a momentary deficiency of good pitchers. It seemed like just about every team in the offseason was desparate for starting pitchers, but hardly any were available.

Is it really?
He gonna get a dinger tonight

just a gentle reminder that your work is genuinely appreciated. you add to this general and we're lucky to have you

if your run differential isn't at least +20, get the fuck out of my thread

>Literally Smoak playing better than Meme Man Bautista
1-161 this year, boys.

>resd
>relevant

Anyone ever just wake up and feel like punching a Mets fan in the face

mets fans were some of the nicest to me as a visiting fan so far

now, yankee fans?

...

>FG WAR is implying that there have been 10 whole teams who's relief pitching has been worse than the Rangers

Yeah no that's literally impossible you fucking nerds.

Can't say I have.

*blocks your path*

>using other teams players to talk shit

check out the cuck

It's all we have left. S-stop beating us at our own park please.

Unless Yu Darvish starts then we go cold.

>#Tigers Anibal Sanchez didn't pitch yesterday, but his ERA just dropped from 9.64 to 1.93 because of a scoring change on April 6th.

*blocks your path*

>rags

Jose Leclerc just made the horrible career mistake of putting himself in a prime position to take over the role of closer for the Rangers.

Poor guy. He's only 23 and he's already doomed any chance of staying in the league longer than 2 years.

Dyson is the rag, though. If we won Tuesday night without him, nobody would be talking shit.

It's still most likely going to be Barnette, leclerc did impress and that cutting changeup pitch he has is really crazy and when it's on it's on closer type stuff that pitch. But with recent injuries and still waiting for guys to come off injuries Bannister is going to be doing his little week or two of shuffling relievers and closers around like he did when Tolleson shit he bed.

>Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo still haven't hit home runs

They will get 30 hrs this year. Combined
