ANONFIGHT!

>spring training is on the other side of the olympics

FEELS GOOD, HOMBRE

*ruins your season*

You can have it. While my joke was a prime cut jewel, the Mariners need it. You need this moment.

I'm just waiting for the next ootp release so I can sate my stat autism

Coming up to bat. In his MLB debut. Blue Jays SS, Elliot Rodger.

Why are there two /mlb/ generals

Gnats desu senpai

Anyone else hope the MLB lets big leaguers play in the 2020 olympics? I wouldn't even be too upset if the season had 10 days off or something during that time.

we'd have to extend the all-star break or something, maybe if we started earlier. I'm against making the season shorter no matter what.

Yeah I would want the season to start earlier. Or spread some double headers throughout the season.

I'm cold, I overslept and there's no baseball.

Have you tried taking a journey with some dwarves to the lonely mountain, bilbo?

Nice quads Gandalf.

The World Baseball Classic isn't that great, and the last thing I want to see is a player getting hurt in the damn Olympics

last year's was great tho

voice of the jays is retiring

>Italian cheering for USA
Why?

Looks comfy

Have you tried posting about Soriano?

Hahaha ha! You hold no power here!

Devil Rays again when?

Reminder that the Cubs are fraudulent and the drug results WILL be released

I can't do it. I waited too long for baseball. It's over. I'm not going to make it.

Im american

lel

Is this the solution to Coors babbying? Make the Rockies play on a moving boat instead? I'm all for it, as long as the boat is energy efficient.

For a boat like that to work, it'd have to be 5 times the size of the Oasis of the Seas. That just won't happen.

What are you doing in Italia then, cunt?

yeah, the series of games is very comfy and fun to play, the difficulty is very hard even on lowest levels

and they were the first to put story mode in an Sports game

>I'm cold, I overslept and there's no baseball.
Have you tried reading the LOTR trilogy or at least watching the films?

So weird to have another Japanese bust on the Cubs. Oh well. Good looking guy though

You're gay.

Are cubs anime now

カープ、です

Remember fukudome

study abroad

>tfw Da Series was always on at 2 in the morning

Based Chads

Holy shit that is racist as fuck. I wonder what would happen if they tried doing that today.

Easy fellas

Go away gayboy.

Baseball is almost here.

>Safeco Field's new name is rumored to be Proliance Field

meh

Pitchers and catchers report tomorrow. I have to admit that I'm fairly excited for another first round exit.

I unironically hope some of these jerkoff scott boras players have to sign 1 year deals

I never had the makings of a varsity athlete

Could always be worse.

yeah, imagine if your stadium was named something like "guaranteed rate field."

Happy P&C Day everyone. Go Angels

Bad memes, bad teams.

>rags

Nothing will ever top what the white sox did

I wouldn't mind that. Proliance doesn't seem corporate as fuck compared to what other teams have for their ballparks.

...

If anyone has earned the right to post Wojacks, it's Mariners fans.

It's called "wojak" btw.
Wonder if we'll see any of those cancerous nujaks this season btw

no bully pls

Whatever.
*rolls eyes*

Woe is us bros who here /knows that feel bros/

Grand Moff Tarkin if he were still alive today.

completely sortable WAR and Win Shares as well.

You are so fucking stupid

Chris Gimenez, when asked about Darvish "I told him if he comes here, we're going to win a World Series, hopefully I said, 'I'll throw in half my salary. But if we win, you have to give it back double.'" Darvish on the other hand when asked about Gimenez, "I like (Willson) Contreras better."

thanks m8, this is excellent

So Gimenez crying because he's going to lose half his salary?

Why would he be crying if they all play on the same team

150 million dollars for ol' tip n slip

White Sox get made fun of for trading Erik Johnson for James Shields, who the padres are paying for anyway
Cubes signed Yu Darvish for 150 million and they get off scott free
Really makes you think

>who the padres are paying for anyway
White Sox are paying half and James Shields was fresh off of giving a fat lard his first ever base hit and has a 194.8 ERA.
Chicago overpaid for the slippy pitch man but he's not an obvious all-around washup, he's just a bit of a choker.
We'll see how the deal unfolds, but James Shields was 100% absolutely done when the trade happened.

>a bit of a choker
>single handily out choke kershaw and cost his team the world series
>this calls for 150 million dollar contract
lmao

>people are discussing baseball and sharing neat stat sites
>white sox lifelongs need to remind everyone about james shields because they're addicted to the attention, even if it's just plain bullying
Sad and obnoxious.

Now that pitchers and catchers have reported, where did Anthony Recker report today?

Probably stopped by boystown to pick up some equipment
He used to play ball there way back in the day

>Matt Kemp has lost 41 pounds before ST

How long before he gains 80 pounds back? Opening day?

>no Ohtani
>no Stanton
>no Darvish
>serious talks to sign Utley
What they fuck are they doing with the $300 mil. payroll again?

twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/963528279788523524
Utley already agreed

>"I'm in the best shape of my life," says player X
And then they still suck shit. Always good for a laff.

>What they fuck are they doing with the $300 mil. payroll again?

They moved it down to $197 million for tax reasons and want to get it below even further.

Maybe there's a team dumb enough to take on half of Matt Kemp's contract.

They are aiming to be under the luxury tax. Right now, they are behind the Red Sox and Giants for salary.

Its been proven the shieldsposters are cubs fans. Did you not see the kris bryant reaction images?

Whoops wrong image

redpill me on the darvish tipping

was it real? why didn't the dodgers do anything to address it?

>mariners are in the top 10
where the fuck is all that money going to

Where does Anthony Recker fall into this?

>Mariners are higher than Yankees after Stanton
That is a good question

it was real, and what exactly could you do? who's going to give you significant innings of long relief in game seven of the world series?

wtf are the Angels, Mariners and Mets doing?

>>"I'm in the best shape of my life," says player X
>And then they still suck shit. Always good for a laff.
Is Recker in the best shape of his life? If so, what shape is that?

I'm still not sold on Nick Williams. Am I a brainlet?

>angels
Ohtani

at first glance I read Prolapse

oh, don't worry, that's exactly what it would be on /mlb/
