Royals

>tfw no salary cap, salary floor, and 50/50 revenue sharing

Phillies!

first for selling value bats

>Salary Floor
Nice meme that gets average and below average players above average salaries and NOTHING else. Even by NOT reaching it you just split the money evenly amongst the current team

> salary floor

Daily reminder that Buck Schowalter kept Zach Britton in the bullpen during the wild card game.

It needs to be Friday right now I need my basedball fix

same t.b.h.

>American League """"""""""""""""managing""""""""""""""""

Bros.... we can't stop the AL

What would you guys pick?

the corvette or the truck?

The truck, it gives me goosebumps, it looks like a monster coming to eat me

Gives me the goose pimples

The truck.
Also
>$24,000,000 a year
>thanks for the free $65,000 car..... I guess

i would use a small fraction of my 24 mil salary and get both

Plenty of average and below average players already get above average salaries. All a salary floor does is prevent cheap owners from using the cap to minimize costs. It's the least important of the 3 but still necessary.

That car is .027% of his salary. Do you know how fucking insane that is? Thats the equivalent of me (around 65k a year) spending $182

How about they switch to a nfl like revenue sharing so that even small market teams can compete? It works flr the gay ass packers with their 60k ish population of green bay.

Get a load of this egghead knows how to count

If you don't like numbers, then this sport isn't for you.

Dude I just love to watch Swarbs and Rossy crush dingers

Truck, for pop.

...

If you want outward displays of manliness, maybe you should watch the UFC or NFL

i can tell that's meant to be one of those "hurr durr it gets loud so that's why it's funny" videos, even with no sound

This is a girl sport for sissies. You want to wach men? Take your machismo over to some golf and keep it there.

philistine

>Matt "I ran over a guy's head while drunk driving" Bush got nominated for Best Comeback Athlete at the ESPYs

what the fuck

Where's he going to be playing come August?

You mean Matt "I'm Matt fucking Bush!" Bush?

I have to ask those who are pro salary floor something. If a team is like the Phillies, and has very little in the way of current talent, and there's no reason for a big name FA to come, why should they be forced to spend $25m on someone like Michael Saunders, when that spot could be given to an unproven prospect or a lottery ticket like a rule 5er?

Come back home, son.

...

If I don't like the Cardinals or just any team do I get to exclude them from the NL numbers, diminishing them even more?

i bet you dont even keep your own spreadsheet tracking various dinger metrics for swarbs and rossy
idiot

Post rare uniforms that your team has worn.

how about instead of a flat salary floor its a percentage of revenue?

MARINERS!

>SEA:Mariners do not plan on moving Nelson Cruz
sounds like they are going to keep him and retool for another season of mediocrity

based little-league-as-fuck 1950s three pieces

Turn up the Clock uniforms shouldn't even count

...

they absolutely should

wow that uni is based as fucking shit
same with this but that seattle one is GNARLY

>purple
When will you guys learn?

>hating on purple

not even a Rockies fan, but it's a based color. better than the two dozen combinations of red/white/blue

>hating red/white/blue
Move to Canada or something

say that to larry fucking walker's face

purple is literally the objectively best color, the fuck is wrong with you?
it's literally the second and third best colors, blue and red, combined

It isn't even a real color though. There is actually science to back this claim up. It's also almost as gay as pink.

>tfw my team does it well, and has done it well for over 120 years

That's Lenny Walker

> It isn't even a real color

Kyle Schwarber
Ian Happ
Javier Baez
Eloy Jimenez
Dylan Cease

>Canada's flag is red and white
>Canada's "team" is blue

you're a special kind of dumb aren't ya

Purple is mostly an artifact of the way our eyes and brains perceive colors and try to make sense out of a world which doesn't always make sense.

maybe take a few weeks off from drugs, bro.

Ah yes, I remember that roman royalty would wear non colored clothing that was incredibly rare because they needed an incredibly rare non colored plant to make the non color that is currently worn by the colorado rockies

Just google "purple isn't a color" and get educated, bro.

you are dangerously close to pushing this innocent carefree luckswing thread into a science, philosophy, and perhaps even religion thread

please thread carefully, else we may not recover

Delete this right now

Sleeves are the shit, i wish the wSox would bring these gems back.

Btw did everyone enjoy aj's performance in the booth on saturday? I loved how he called out bitch ass brandon mccarthy. I hope aj keeps doing the saturday games.

lol, ok.

>Wikipedia
Heh, nice "source" you got there. Might as well tell me you heard it on CNN

an excellent, well-thought-out, and delicately phrased rebuttal. how did i ever doubt your rhetoric?

Nice butt

Whatever... It isn't even worth wasting my time explaining the color spectrum to mental midgets on this board. I am continually appalled that I subject myself to this shit on a daily basis now. Continue being a fan of the second gayest "color" on the planet.

> i'm mentally superior to you!
> i use "gayest" like a fifth grader

...

I never made it to 5th grade. I skipped 4th and 5th and went straight to 6th after 3rd

hey didnt you get banned?

ok, rob manfred. now tell us what you're going to do about the upcoming MLBPA talks over the altered baseball. new QO guidelines for pitchers?

Move the fences back

oh god, i would actually be ok with this

How many teams do you root for?

1.5

One

like 10
yea i'm a jumper bitch

Real baseball fans root for 2, though the most dedicated fans will root for 30.

1
but i dont mind when the jints do good

None. I root for players.

I root for and watch the Indians and keep loose track of the D-backs. I'm Ohio born and a lot of my family lives in AZ.

>Red not 1.
Nah

1 and only 1

Not the Dads or Rox? Pleb choice ph@m

sorry senpai
i live in sf

you now remember Scooter Gennett

Why did I think Sano was so much older than he is?

Why does Girardi look 75 years old?

heh this promotion seemed pretty cool

I'm pretty sure that uni isn't legal though because it has a baseball on it.

i remember him every single fucking start that bum peraza gets

my cat is dying. he has been lying on the floor, in his box, on the couch, and back to the floor again for 2 days. he has eaten nothing, and drank barely any water. i want to take him in, but i also want to let him die comfortably

please say something nice guys, i've been crying a lot, but i'm really drunk now and it doesn't hurt as bad

Poor fella. What's wrong with him? Is he old?

Take him to the vet faggot
