Dearly beloved.

We are gathered here today to pay respects to the great King Felix

press F to pay respects

rush birdy back, please and dfa holliday

Felix was never good

>that pic in OP

>tfw purchased the yellow A's jersey where the back says "PROSPECT" for name and "??" for number as a joke how we trade our best players away

Let's hope the chinese person making it doesnt fuck it up and put me out $22

Who is aging worse, Felix or Pujols?

>people actually buy into doyer hype for once
>doyerfags still can't fucking shut up about how they """""rebuild while contending""""""
Why do they have to ruin everything lads?

Poopholes. But to be fair to poopholes, he is about 5 years older than he says he is. He hoodwinked the Angels and I hope he burns in hell for it, but I have to be fair to him and say that he is about 42 years old.

Mike Trout

Who is this greatest baseball player of the last 25 years?

That's not Alex Rodriguez, Barry Bonds or Ken Griffey Jr.

...

*,*,explodingkneesjpg

Trout's first 5 years are already better than any 5 year period from A-Rod and Griffey, and only surpassed by the roid-infused tirade Bonds went on at the end of his career.

Felix

the problem is that he's only 31 years old. His fastball died, he has no command, and is getting injured fairly easily now. Everyone and their mother knows how to take advantage of Felix's weaknesses now. What's worse is, because of his pitching style, he absolutely can't be used as a bullpen guy. He's a starter or nothing. Felix could very well be retired at 33 or 34 if he doesn't get more consistent and durable. The interesting case here is how fast the wheels fell off for Felix. It's like as soon as he turned 30, his career regressed.

the really sad thing is that he went from HoF potential to fringe candidate at best.

Sup Forumsstros!

Who is this faggot in the Cubs broadcast booth?

Jim Rose, the sports guy for ABC Chicago (the channel the game is airing on)

How the fuck do you not know Rose?

Funny, I don't recall you saying "Who is has the greatest 5-year stretch of the last 25 years?". Maybe my eyesight is going?

My life will be complete if the Nats win this world series or the one next year before Harper dips to New York.

Please, Baseball Gods, let Harper end his DC journey with a ring.

He's performing at a level A-Rod and Griffey never did. How is that not being a better player?

>My life will be complete if the Nats win this world series
Sorry to hear that

Sorry, I didn't realize we judged players based on 5 years of their career now. I guess Mike Trout is already the greatest player of all time under those conditions, my mistake.

He's not though, even under those conditions. He is one of them though.

>He's not though, even under those conditions.
That's my point.
>He is one of them though.
Not yet.

You think the Astros could pick up Nolan Ryan before the deadline?

>Yodam Dunncada

...

Len Kasper

You should've stopped watching

tbf there are some really shitty bullpen arms in the league

frog posters are truly the worst

Where the hell is the Cubs Nationals gamethread?

Why don't you make one yourself

I'm not from Chicago, that's how. Only Chicago team I like is the Cubs.

sad, the lifelongs can't even make a daily gamethread until the playoffs come again

Fan since 2016?

The latter half of 2008, actually.

>I'm not from Chicago
>I like the Cubs.
lifelong fans everyone

>dodger fans are happy about their team being good and set up well for the future.
Fucking assholes

If Nashville had an MLB team I'd follow them instead.

It's more like
>okay we get it you're elite but can you please stop stroking your regular season record like it means the entire world
These grandstand shills are the worst people on this board

>ny hat
>beard

>Chicago is the closest team to Nashville
Follow the Reds

blue > red

Fag

Red is objectively the ugliest color

>Where the hell is the Cubs Nationals gamethread?
It's Chicongo - maybe it got shot.

...

Orioles sure came out ahead when they got rid of Arrieta and Strop, huh?

Angelos can't die soon enough.

So why did that catcher get thrown out, anyways?

Nice to see her having an emotional breakdown over something spilled on the floor. Yeah, let it dry and cake up a bit, that'll make it easier to clean up you dumb bimbo.
Enough with this woman and her fucking cat. Jesus Christ. Get the mop and get over yourself.

If you're talking about the Nats' Matt Wieters, he was complaining about how the ump's strike zone was so inconsistent. That's the thing players hate most, far more than zones that are too big or too small, inconsistency means nobody can tell when a pitch is going to be called a strike or a ball. The ump had been calling the same pitch differently for right- and left-handed batters, and it looks like Wieters just got tired of it.

>okay we get it you're elite but can you please stop stroking your regular season record like it means the entire world

if this was another team (doesn't matter who), that team's fans would be doing the same exact thing. don't even try to deny it.

That leaf just rages about the Dodgers occasionally, often unprovoked. He's honestly obsessed.

Cubs are starting to Cub on the Nationals.

I see. Sounds like he had a legit grievance then.

that wasn't specific to canadafag. my point still stands.

Which team is the Usain Bolt of Major League Baseball?

LA Dodgers.

The Expos.

Blue Jays

>tfw no Jamaican MLB expansion team

Breaking: Matt Joyce suspended for 2 games, called a fan a faggot.

....damn

Wieters is usually pretty low key, so if he was that upset about something I'd say it probably wasn't imaginary.

Wieters may have made the mistake of criticizing the ump himself, rather than the ump's calls. Saying "hey ump, those outside calls are total fucking shit" gets a lot more tolerance than "hey ump, you're total fucking shit."

>gets called a faggot
>complains and gets player suspended
Way to confirm his assessment of you, you fucking faggot.

except Bolt wins championships

Ya he shouldn't have been a faggot if he didn't want to get called a faggot. No story bs suspension

Not today lmao

That's the right thing, swears and foul language have no place in Baseball.

Pablo Sandoval is only 30 years old.

Sounds like Joyce was right.

the horrors of a large contract

Pablo Sandoval is fat

like his bank account full of Boston money

Pablo Sandoval is large

MARINERS!

so have the dodgers dumbass, just not recently

Andy Pettitte is a starting pitcher

Rings before 1995 don't count Grandpa

Is Albers getting fatter?

Like his funds stores

RAINOUT!

fan since 2010 faggot?

DFA Holliday?!??!! DFA Headley

use some of that world series money to buy a roof you cheap fucks

They wanted a roof but Missouri voted no because they're broke. If the stadium were on the KS side with our clean streets, nice schools and many high-end shops, people would have undoubtedly voted yes.

I'm saying Missouri is dirty and poor, essentially.

you can't be a yankee fan if you're saying this.. headley somehow has been lights out recently.. and I don't like saying that cause I hate him too but cmon, holliday is cancer atm

barves suck

>kansas city
>play in missouri
who the fuck did this?

I mean, she could have an abusive husband who really wanted food right away, and knows she's probably going to get beat.
