>there will be no team above .500 in the American League that misses the playoffs

Nothing triggers my autism harder than casuals calling a wc team as a "playoff" team until they actually win the wc game.

MLB recognizes it as part of the postseason. Go stuff face into an italian beef and get over it.

This is so fucking awesome.

Nice

Well, the Wild Card game is a postseason game (specifically a one game playoff), making its participants playoff teams.

Use your new namefag identity

>walking with a limp
where did they find this autistic/disabled fuck?

>waah waah wwaaaaaah
No one cares what you think

>the NL is more competitive than the AL this year

Did you get triggered?

It just doesn't have any legitimately good teams.

...

lol, with 7 of the 10 worst teams?

please take 5 minutes to read this
espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/20757711/the-national-league-stinks

All I got from this article is that the AL teams are better than the NL teams in the regular season but can't deliver in the World Series

>AL has more WS wins

Good job champ

uncomfy as fuck

literally all because of the yankees

>CIDF

>arcade league cucks blew a 3-1 lead to a team that hadn't won in over 107 years

Kek what a joke league

(You)

...

What or who is "Recker" that is mentioned a lot here.

The Dodgers choke in the postseason.

>the cubs won using AL rules
really makes you think

>If you actually discount the top two teams with rings (cards and yanks) it's 37-37 between al and nl in the world series

Yes they do. Doesn't change the fact that the arcade league is a joke

>DUDE PITCHERS SHOULDN'T HIT BECAUSE THEY AREN'T REALLY PLAYERS

Cubs won game 7 at home though?

>if you actually discount all teams that have ever won, it's 0-0 between al and nl in the world series

they won at progressive field.. an AL park. I know this is bait

No need for salt

The Los Angeles Dodgers are going to win the world series

They won because they used PILATES and an unnecessary rain delay to inject more PILATES against the most injured team in WS history. Still the 100+ win team needed extra innings in game seven to beat this team, who wasn't supposed to even contend.

fuck off nerd

How do they win the World Series without winning a pennant?

they were given the ring for tv ratings. wake the fuck up

>get blown out using your own rules

Oh god my side's. I would think arcade league losers would know how to play better under their handicapped. Guess they got cucked by the superior NL

if they both make it for a rematch lets see what happens when the injuns full pitching staff is starting.

I feel gross for defending the indians but let's be real

>rematch

Cubs are getting swept by the Dodgers in the DS

>the 5 teams in the AL that will make the post season are the only teams with winning records
>the NL has 7 teams with winning records
>the AL is somehow more competitive even thought the NL has more than 5 teams competing for a spot in the postseason
Ok

Let's be real the arcade league is a joke

There are 4 NL teams with a winning record in interleague play.

There are 8 in the AL with a winning record.

Fun fact, the Indians are the only decent team that is getting absolutely blown out in inter-league play

THREADLY REMINDER

Jake Arrieta is a scumbag that cheated a good christian man that builds clean-water systems for poor african negro children in the offseason and a man with a mental disability out of the Cy Young. Jake Arrieta is a "bad guy" He cheats good people, he bullies the disabled, and he cheats to enhance his physique and pitching ability.

>since 2010 the NL has won 5 of the 7 world series

Uhhh, arcade league????

>MUH ALL STAR GAME

>worst team in the division
>73 wins
feels good i guess?

>conditions I deem fair

I find it funny that a lot of pitchers find more success in the NL rather than the AL when the switch. Jake Arrieta is a name that comes to mind.. wasn't he trash as an Oriole?

This desu.

Why do you find that funny? It's been well known phenomenon forever. Having to pitch against another pitcher vs having to pitch against a hitting specialist

So THIS... is the power... of the ninny league.

I'm only stating the facts is all.. the NL is easy mode tier

This BTFOs the Ninny League, complete silence.

...

>hey goys, check out our (((league))) where the same 3 teams win their divisions every year! muh superiority!
Boring.

>whos in charge of tanking

>hey goys, our superior (((league))) ensures that every team placed 3rd or below is shit, and 2nd place is at least 10 games behind. Muh superior league!
>"""best""" team chokes in the playoffs every year

Free outs league really taking a beating tonight.

Since 2000 it's 8-8 between the league's.

So much for that arcade league dominance huh?

>have a handicap
>still lose
>blow 3-1 leads to teams that are cursed

Kek

Who's that? Is he an A's?

No one cares about 8 Yankees World Series, Mario. This decade matters and you still haven't taken the L

Real, full, 9-outs baseball with actual competitive teams still boasts the best pitchers in the big leagues. Wow.

Reminder that the Dodgers choke in the postseason.

What are you even shitposting about?

The problem is that the postseason is different for each league. American League teams have to play against teams that provide the proven best offensive and defensive capabilities in all of baseball.
National League teams have to play National League teams.

Imagine a complex Wushu film action scene where the hero is alone and fighting off dozens of highly skilled fighteres, except add a scene at the end where a drooling retard with a pipe manages to hit the main character once in the head, after the kung fu master has already exhausted himself fighting real competition. Even a retard (in this case, a National League team) could get lucky, and the World Series ensures that a retard has a chance at getting lucky every year.

>4.55
>best pitchers

And the AL's top dawg blows 3-1 series leads in the world series

Differentiate false flag posts and (((piss)))posts.

We get it lifelong it's your first half year watching baseball. (the months you stopped watching the pisscups until they "got """"good"""" again) this year aren't included)

Go away Larry no one asked for your input

Huh, explains why the NL has the only sweep of the world series this decade

Wait a minute
does this mean larry recognizes the jints 3 WS rings

4.55 ERA

The game has finally caught up to him now. Too many erratic moves. Left the checkmate wide open.

>Free outs vs. earned outs

There you go

Imagine being a fan of such a pathetic team you hang your hat on the achievements of an entire league lmao. This goes for any sport

>"National League rules are the only way to play baseball it's real baseball the arcade league is a jo--"
>Enters an AL park and -elects- to use the DH
>"MUH DUBLE SWICH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Does this mean Harry/DG have finally accepted the Giants and Cubs being good this decade?
