HEY

>AL has more World Series wins
>All Star game wins
>Inter-league wins

wait, how is this possible if the NL has such superior talent and strategy?

HEY

WHERE'S

MY

MY JUNIOR CIRCUIT STOP TALKING ABOUT US REEEERR

Where has anyone ever said the NL has superior talent and strategy?

the NL rules allow more strategy to be employed in a game. It doesn't mean NL managers are better strategists. Just that they have to use more strategy in each game under NL rules.

Ladies and gentlemen, THE most cerebral AB of the year

ok now do talent

superior national t leaugers

Does anyone actually think one league as a whole consistently has more talent than the other?

They are all drawing from the same pool of kids in the draft.

Smile status: Protected

and all the good talent goes to one league whereas random number two starters and marginal bullpen pieces in that same league can move to the other league to pick up a few cy young and saves champions awards

Bellinshit is done, dead before arrival, sad

>yfw the Cardinals beat the Doyers in October

>tfw no baseball until Friday

HEY

ROBINSON!

implying i'm not watching the local beer league in the meantime

>all the good talent goes to one league
??? how?

Do NL scouts just have no idea how to scout good talent?

Yes?

HEY

THAT POP UP TO RIGHT

>0-3

YOU

OUT THERE IN THE COLD

its possible to be really shitty in the draft
just look at the mariners draft history

>Want to buy an All Star game hat because Cano won the MVP
>Every hat is dogshit

MMR with the A+ bants

HEY

NICE DINGER

YOU

Thank you, Nellie

Nice Selfie

But an entire league? That seems pretty unlikely

Picking on the NL is kind of like picking on a handicapped. It's just not fair.

Which player is most representative of the geist of the National League?

GET INTO MY CAR

this is the league that enjoys watching pitchers struggle to get a .100 batting average

>Be AL
>Be superior to NL in every possible way
>More World Series Wins
>More All-Star Wins
>More Interleague Wins

>Still get asses kicked in attendance

Why is this?

NL fans are uneducated, opioid addicted, flyover state, hicks who buy tickets using welfare money.

AL fans are hard working, white collar Americans, who are moving up in the world. They must sacrifice for their high paying careers.

The AL is only for fags who fall for the DH meme.

Isn't it great?

Reminder that the AL originally implemented the DH to boost attendance.

NL feebly punching up at their betters

The DH doesn't draw, brother

but I thought it made games so much more exciting?

more dingers, right?

more things to keep ADHD AL fans interested?

/r/ing webm of bryce harper running squarely into the wall

"GIVE ME ATTENTION"

the ninny league is SEETHING

NL hitters are used to facing pitchers whose throwing is disrupted by having to bat, so when they face AL pitchers that aren't...

>Yanks overpriced their fans
>A's play in a shithole and now with the Warriors are gud, the fans got tired of the constant mediocrity
>Rasy literally plays in the worst sports stadium in all of sport in the middle of retired Yanksfag territory.

But Rasy and Assy's numbers really fucking us over in attendance, fuck.

What's the difference between an offensive shit and a defensive shit? Is offensive like diarrhea?

>muh attendance

gasping for straws lads?

Doesn't explain how the AL beats them in interleague. An AL pitcher should be more rattled than an NL pitcher.

It really comes down that a hitting pitcher has been a dead meme for decades now. It made sense because pitchers were able to hit as well as the rest of the lineup by in the days, but pitching gotten so specialized that they can no longer keep up with the demand of practicing their swing

>implying that defensive shit isn't when you are trying to laid a big steamer but it's struck halfway because it won't come out.

Offensive shit is when you are one fart away from shitting yourself and hope that your butthole is clenched hard enough so you won't shit on yourself before you can find a bathroom.

was selig a good head of baseball?

No, Selig never accomplished anything of note in the world of baseball

>bought and relocated a 1969 expansion team that was unfairly forced to expand 2 years early
>sat over the steroid era and did nothing
>helped cause the players strike in 94
>willingly let another 1969 expansion team get unfairly relocated in 2004

that said, Manfred hasn't been any better

h-hey

How's everyone doing tonight? I'm feeling so-so but more on the up atm

>0-3
so this must be the ace pissboi keeps telling me about

Anyone got any more squished webms like this one?

...

.

>60 wins by the all-star break

You should be feeling outstanding, except for the part where you live in Houston.

...

...

Save me from this heat and humidity

tired
leave home at 6 get home at 7
everyday

*saves Andrew Miller's career

2.5 star catch

No one can save you but you.

Do what I did: Graduate high school. Move.

>Jansen
>getting a BALK in the all star game

>Kimbrel
>Winning the fucking game for team AL

Well that settles that argument.

>do my regular check on Kershaw's stats (as you do on GOAT watch)
>remember this piece fivethirtyeight.com/features/clayton-kershaw-might-might-not-be-the-best-pitcher-in-baseball-anymore/
Aaaaaaaaaaand still undisputed best pitcher in baseball

anyone got a webm of Cano's dinger?

Oh mang that sucks!! I've had a couple of days like that and they are super hellish for sure

I graduated 3 years ago, but fuck me if I can sustain myself alone atm

maybe after college

Every single Biggiopost is always fucking terrible

Biggio

HEY

be careful user.

you're about to trigger everyone on this entire board

But the Eeries will be started in a NL park.

Nigga, Bellinger took Miller deep in the actual season.

Interleague record is currently 93-82 for AL. Dodgers have thus far done their part going 7-3 vs AL teams. They have the White sox and Twins later this month.

Reminder that the NL would've slapped the AL if Kershaw played

If the NL fielded some cyborg robots they might have had a chance against the Übermensch of the American league

woulda, shoulda, coulda

5 straight AL victories, baby

I'm a Doyerfag but I have no idea how he would of won the game. He would of pitched like 1 or 2 innings early on in the game and that's it. There was no way Maddon would of sent him out there for 9 innings.

How would the AL hitting an extra home run in the second inning have helped the NL?

>would of
>would of
>would of

Cody Bellinger already ended Miller's career with a go ahead homer. But striking out in an exhibition game somehow matters more. Francona couldn't even make the post game presser aster that game so if Francona dies (we all hope he does) it'll be because of Cody Bellinger.

At least we finally saw again, for the 20th year in a row, who is truly the better league.

Otani pitching tonight, first time this season

get in here

Miller was just saving all of his Ks of Bustinger for a national TV audience

Jesus, looks like he never swung a bat before

Was Miller also saving his ERA for the Dodgers to feast on by giving up two bombs to a man bustinger and kike "the banana" Hernández?

archive.4plebs.org/sp/search/image/AxrA4YubT2QJHPsihJ-NPA/

Reminder that the AL would've slapped the NL even harder if Logan Morrison played

Makes me think.

>0-6
>9.00 ERA
What did the doyer all star players other than Jansen mean by this?

Question to the baseball intellectuals of the Sup Forums.....

Is Robinson Cano and his team in line for postseason berth because of his ASG MVP and does his ASG HR account towards his season total???

Let me know please, I'm a new baseball aficionado and want to know just how much the all-star gane matters.

Like if you pitch a clean inning in the ASG does you career ERA go down?

If you get an RBI does it account for your career total?
