first

Top 50 prospects still in the minor leagues, according to (((Bleacher Report)))

Who's better overall: Jackie Bradley Jr. or Aaron Hicks?

Injuns desu

>when you have to play against the 1stros and your rotation is in shambles

JUST

Looking pretty nice

robles and rodgers are overrated

1stros!!

Mess desu

Michael Conforto

>midday sports radio show
>host is talking about going to the game today
>going with his new wife, her ex husband and his wife
>his wife and ex husband are still "good friends"
>literally taking care of their daughter
>tfw a literal cuck bragging about it on air

not a valid answer, nipscribbler

>unironically using Sup Forums terminology anywhere at any time

tfw best prospects are a Catcher and SS who both can't throw

cuck is not exclusive to Sup Forums anymore, bud. it's possibly the biggest meme since >18-1

Cuck is a forced meme. 18-1 is, on the other hand, a very satisfying reality.

>triple dubs in consecutive posts

>almost three triple dubs in a row

who else /notrepresented/ here?

>4

Almost, friend.

Nice

way to save it though

screencapped

make up a trip, then. we'll be sure to be nice to you because your team isn't doing so well.

Name my band

Pretty sure he meant on the prospect list, bud.

Doesn't really matter, actually played baseball tends to blow out #1 prospects.

Cucked Force 1

The School Shooters

I hate today's Brewers lineup. Villar batting 3rd? Wtf Counsell.

>not knowing pb
>not knowing Mariners
>not knowing Marinyas
>not knowing Mike Zunino K count
I'm talking about the list of top 50 prospects. Mariners don't have a player on it.

What was Dubya shouting?

>that unhappy ground where you're not a WS series frontrunner but don't have a farm either

Who's ready 4 their respective team's games today?

The pants dog

>cubes

>Chris Sale is on pace for 292 strikeouts

>Natty Jake's ERA
Gotta get back on the pilates

dubs confirm. he should be 7-0 right now, it's criminal how little run support he's gotten until lately

How do you figure?
85 Ks in 8 starts = 10.625 K/start. If he stays healthy, he'll make 33 starts, which is 350 strike outs.

does any team cling to an excuse like cusb cling to MUH WIND

>going by Ks per start and not Ks per inning
nigga

I did only extrapolate to 200 innings though. He could easily top 300 Ks.

>K's per inning
It's the same. He's averaging 7.1 IP per start. 33 starts x 7.1 IP = ~242 innings. 242 innings x 1.45 K/inning = 350 Ks.
When you're doing "on pace" calculations, you don't assume regression.

He's pitched 58.2 innings and struck out 85 batters. 1.46 times 200 is 292. How did you not understand this from my post?

I'm saying assuming he's only going to pitch 200 innings is stupid and contrary to the entire point of the phrase "on pace for".

Chris sale is going to pitch 500 innings and strike out 1000 batters. Cap this protip you can't

Ok, so you're pissed about semantics. Cool.

ISIS

>Villar batting 3rd
Both plate appearances he has runners on and looks bad at the plate.

MARINERS!

>can't screencap
bruh

...

Fuck you I won't do what you tell me

HEY

HEY

Is it just me, or is Butler garbage?

YOU YOU

YOU

GET INTO MY CAR

Earnin' them chickie tendies
>mfw Bryce "Cold as Ice" Harper isn't even at his true power level

JD please come back

I never understood why the Astros let him go, he looked like he had a ton of potential playing for us and just needed a few years to shine.

Who is this player?

Rice Whopper

>Bryce Harper is so fast the vortex back-blast of his speed hurdles his helmet into the air

impressive

BRUHS

>I never understood why the Astros let him go
There was like a 4 year time frame where nobody really looked good and management was only half competent (we signed Correa but a lot of busts, too) and JD was released right around that time.

>yfw you imagine the unreliable cluster-fuck that is At Bat trying to work third-dimensional

absolutely RENTAL

All CO2 powered...not one N2 tank in sight, no automatic revo/evo feeders...absolutely RENTAL as fuck...

Imagine being this much of a faggot about things that don't matter

>thinking not having an N2 powered marker with an automated feeder and a bandolier of extra paintballs doesn't matter...

motherfucker looks like pidgeot

Haha is this LUIGI from Mario Bros ?

>trying to hate on Bryce "Based H" Harper
Sad. Also, don't imply that Pidgeot wasn't an elite Gen 1 pokémon and Luigi isn't severely underrated.

Orange Ducks and our shitty farm system

...

Why is the Brew Crew trying to get the Cube memes back into the Central?

I wasn't hating just making an observation. Honestly think he's a GOAT player

Thank you, this is why I said it

Daily reminder that Barry Larkin was a better shortstop than Derek Jeter

I apologize for the hastiness of my comment, user. So often the GOATs get hated on by pooposters, hard to tell when they're spouting mémés or not.

>muh defense
>muh speed

>when you have the best record in baseball and the best on field correspondent

/firstros/

Jeter was more about the untangibles

how do i stop hitting high popups in the show?

boy adam jones is milking the racism thing for all its worth

What, like forcing A-Rod to 3rd even though A-Rod was far superior defensively and should've been playing shortstop?

>reading Jeter's PR site

This meme is so fucking stupid. The reason the Yankees weren't going to trade for A-Rod initially (and subsequently why the Red Sox almost got him) was because the didn't want to force A-Rod or Jeter to any other position. Once the Red Sox trade fell through, A-Rod told the Yankees that he wanted to move to third base so he could play for them. According to Joe Torre, the conversation never came up to Jeter. Acting like Jeter "forced him" to move to Third Base is fucking retarded. Besides, with all of A-Rod's hip surgeries, he would've moved to Third in just a few seasons anyways.

#RE2PECT

use contact swings and git gud

Aim high in the strikezone and hit grounders
contact makes me pop out way more

the only reason i know about it is every faglord has to link it everywhere so they can finger wag and start discussions. you know, the standard tripe.

i suppose expecting the proles to understand the beauty of stoicism is a bit much.

twitter.com/Deadspin/status/865583924071862272

I tried that, then id just pop up to catcher

I think shes ugly and hot as fuck at the same time, kinda weird.

zone hitting
don't use square
if you're playing online sometimes you need to guess/anticipate if the opponent is throwing a lot of high/high and in fastballs, but don't guess too much

So Rangers are progressing to the mean now aren't they?

Oh look, the fairweather trip comes up for air.

don't you project your casualness out on me, the true fan.

What is more disgusting than bandwagoners fairweather fags and people with two teams?

Pedophiles?
