MLB OFFSEASON THREAD

Sweet brawl yesterday, Joey bats got

[Raphael De La Ghetto]

Was a sweet brawl. I just hate we dont play the Rangers again for the rest of the year.
With all that happening though, another great thing went unnoticed. Anyone see Joey Votto teasing Phillies fans by not throwing them balls out during the game?
Congrats Myjah.

[chump change]

[Tommy Bunz]

Phillies are in 1st place!

Caught a segment on the phils on mlb network yesterday. Looks like they're ahead of schedule. That run differential is ugly as fuck tho.

[Tommy Bunz]

Yeah Nola and Velasquez both are a lot better than advertised, but we're nowhere near this good. Just having a great run of luck in 1-run games.
I'd actually rather us do shitty and get another top draft pick next year.

[alpha]

It's nice to be ahead of schedule, but yeah they will probably even out sooner or later. From what I've read this draft is kinda whatever so they draft a guy they can sign below slot.

[Philaflava]

Matt Harvey tho.

[Dwight Strawberry]

Matt Harvey tho.

Sucks cock.

I did find this a bit relieving

Consider the following nine-start stretches:

Clayton Kershaw, April 6-May 21, 2015: 4.32 ERA

Madison Bumgarner, June 15-July 28, 2014: 4.55 ERA

Chris Sale, July 30-September 13, 2015: 5.24 ERA

Felix Hernandez, July 4-August 21, 2015: 5.01 ERA

Adam Wainwright, April 3-May 18, 2016: 5.92 ERA

David Price, April 2-May 15, 2013: 5.24 ERA (or 5.53 ERA in 2016)

Max Scherzer, July 7-August 20, 2015: 4.99 ERA

Johnny Cueto, August 21-October 4, 2015: 6.49 ERA

Cole Hamels, May 15-June 26, 2013: 4.97 ERA

and this one

Harvey thru 9 starts, 2016: 5.77era - 43k's/15bb's
Strasburg thru 9 starts, 2015: 6.55ERA - 45k's/13bb's

Did any of us ever expect to be able to say that Melvin Upton is actually the best Upton in baseball?

lol..no, but he'll never be as good as BJ Upton before his injury: he was the best upton

in other news, Matt Harvey is a complete dumpster fire. fuck him

[Dwight Strawberry]

Matt Harvey has gone from Christian Bale Dark Knight, to George Clooney Batman.

Dude has more chins than wins.

[Myjah]

Been banging my drum all weekend that the Twins were going to call up Buxton and now they have and people are like "You're psychic!" No, I'm not. That's like calling someone psychic for predicting it's going to be cold in January in Minnesota.

[capable_keL]

Minor league player of the month again. Too bad he can't hit major league pitching

[capable_keL]

All of our teams SUCK this year. thread is dead

but shout out to Pete Rose, for once, his comments are on point.

[alpha]

Been watching the playoffs man. But went to the Giants/Dodgers game last Friday. Shocking how many dodger fans were there.

[capable_keL]

This used to be my Giants baseball feed. I feel like I only know the NL league from a box score perspective.

Is LA going to the WS?

[capable_keL]

are you guys following myjah's written comments during this series? I thought I saw her type 'Bunz



this is my world series, BTW

[Tommy Bunz]

Also for my fellow baseball heads, this new Fastball documentary is a good watch

He's a great guy. I see him all the time at Clearwater games. Hate that this happened to him. Surprisingly, this injury isn't necessarily a career ender.

I'd like to think so, but I'd think that depth perception is pretty important in baseball. That's a huge obstacle to overcome.
Not to mention its gotta be pretty dangerous, if he can't properly perceive a ball hit back at the pitcher he's a greater risk to get hit and the face and lose his other eye too. I'm sure his doctors are recommending retirement. And he's already set since he got a nice signing bonus as a 2nd round pick.
