>>157273616>>157273629>>157273633>>157273641A.I has already spoken and has selected...>Which MLB baseball team would Mr. Badger from Wind in the willows support?>That's a delightfully literary question.If I had to pick one, I'd say the St. Louis Cardinals. Here's my reasoning:>Traditional and respectable. Mr. Badger is the eldest and wisest of the riverbank friends. He values old customs, continuity, and doing things the proper way. The Cardinals are one of baseball's oldest, most tradition-rich franchises.Steady excellence. Badger has little patience for flashy antics or needless drama. The Cardinals have long been known for fundamentally sound baseball and consistent success rather than spectacle.>Midwestern sensibility. Badger is practical, hospitable, and quietly dignified. The Cardinals' reputation and fan culture fit that understated, community-oriented image.>Other fun possibilities:>Detroit Tigers – A good fit if you focus on Badger's sturdy, no-nonsense demeanor and appreciation for hard work.>Pittsburgh Pirates – Ironically, probably not. Mr. Badger would likely disapprove of anything associated with pirates. Toad, on the other hand, might become an enthusiastic Pirates fan simply because the name sounds exciting.>Chicago Cubs – If you imagine Badger as the sort who loyally supports the same club through thick and thin, the Cubs' long-suffering but devoted fanbase has some appeal. >Badger, though? I'd still put my money on the Cardinals—a club with deep roots, quiet confidence, and a preference for doing things the right way.
don't mind me, just reminding you all that the AL West has absolutely no teams with a positive run differential

>>157273938>futureThey have the 2nd best run differential in the junior circuit lmao what are they waiting for? Go buy a couple relievers at the deadline and make a fucking run. Especially in the weak ass AL where a division winner a touch over .500 might walk away with a bye. Cowardly time to sell

Cap my ass
>>157274001Who said "Tigers could win it all this year". They 100% could win the divison (hell they still might) and that potentially sets them up with a first round bye. They would've had an excellent chance to make a deep run in a weak AL with even a couple BP moves, and given the somewhat random nature of playoff baseball, it's fucking absurd to sell arguably the two best available pitchers at the deadline when they stand to gain much more even in the short term
>>157274009Then why not cash out these playoffs if you're getting $fuckyou next year?

>>157274051Does "deep run" = winning it all to you, Mr. speculation markets
>>157273912It was more about getting rid of quitter who was leaving anyway and a guy who is held together by bubblegum and rubberbands.
Gawd I need a deep run
>>157273912TiGODs finna ride out to World Series
Is this on purpose
>>157274070>Instead of trading a guy who is going to leave in 2 months anyways for valuable prospects we should cross our fingers and pray that we "make a deep run" which doesn't culminate in actually winning anythingThis is what you wanted the tigers to do. You're really mad that they didn't do it and I can't figure out why
>>157274078Absolutely illogical to me to get rid of two of the best pitchers who are on expiring contracts when the path to upgrading the team was the cheapest and most plentiful option. Tigers will fall into the same trap of the Orioles who thought "just think how much better we'll be NEXT year" before guys started getting injured or failed to continue to develop. Prospect hugging is absolutely fucking demented
>>157274097who needs skubal when u got melton?
>>157274116>valuableI believe you mean "cheap">doesn't culminate in actually winning anythingThey are 2.5 GB of a first round bye. You'd need to win 3/5 in a series with Skubal and Mize going 1-2. With their offense and a shored up bullpen that is a tremendously good chance to reach the ALCS. Who knows after that? There's no guarantee in a year or two they'll be in the same position (they should, the AL Central is ass, although Sox have turned the corner and have more cheap/feckless ownership). Like if you told a Tigers fan they would "only" have a great chance at making the ALCS before the season started they would be disappointed? The all-or-nothing mentality to playoff runs by some of these teams (and fans) is poisonous

Ohtani is not a leader. If they start losing he will look for the nearest dog track to gamble his sorrows away.
>>157274116Stop pretending like the tigers were forced to trade their only good player. Its embarassing to be that buckbroken and say it was a smart GM move. I can boot up MVP 05 and rattle off dynasty after dynasty and the key is to sign your best players to a contract instead of trading them for 28 yr old prospects
>>157276300Trading your best player for lottery tickets never made sense. But neither does giving a pitcher a 10 year contract - - any pitcher. They break too easily. Tigers were in a no-win situation and just made it worse by taking Dodger slop over a better offer from Milwaukee.

Los Tigres del Norte jajaja
Why did the networks give up on the ohtani count down? What am I supposed to do when I don’t know how many hours it will be until Ohtani bats next.
>>157276817If they didn't go 6-22 in May they would be running away with the central and never would have been forced to trade anyone. And somehow they can still win the central. Skubal never wanted to stay with Detroit anyway, so it was better in the long run that they got rid of him now for something instead of having him walk away next year for nothing.
A lot of people make a mistake by pronouncing “Sox” the same way for both cities.Boston is said like “sawks”, sometimes you add “kid” on the end.Chicago is said like “sacks”, think Dennis Farina.

It’s not a surprise second baseman are the most likely to be accused of groping
>>157277198i guess all the people in the crowds at all these games have just been an illusion
Let's have a look...
All 9 of the Red Sox lineup are in contention for the MVP awardAll 4 pitchers are in contention for the Cy YoungFirst time a team has won 40 of the last 41They are predicting that they will sweep the league the rest of the way (playoffs included). They are all projected to land 800 million dollar contracts like Juan Soto.They’ve swept 13 straight games of teams in first place.They should be able to sweep every single team the rest of the way.No team in the history of baseball has ever only lost 1 game since June 17th. They have a 45 day winning streak.
>>157277247Stros are winning again
>>157277250According to what they are saying, if they keep the team together they will win all 162 games for the next 27 years all the way up to sweeping the World Series.
>>157277258Nobody is going to beat the Red Sox, they're going undefeated the rest of the way.
The Yankminican is having a melty over the red sux since last night
>>157277250>>157277269>>157277276>>157277276i guess it's time to end the season now and award boston with the world series since there is no point in playing anymore games. in fact, we should just remove the other 29 teams permanently since the red sox will win every time. there will be no more american league or national league; only the boston red sox.
>single-handedly prevents the “inevitable” lockout
>>157277247Dodgers in third in the NL
>>157277236Those were cardboard cutouts like during Covid
>>157277300There’s no sense it just kind of tells you that baseball is scripted. By next Friday the Red Sox will be in first place coming back from 15.5 game behind the Yankees in a mere 45 days. It doesn’t happen. Teams show consistency throughout the year they don’t just lost 70 games and then suddenly win 40 games. How is that even possible. If they’re so good why didn’t they do that at the beginning of the season.
>>157277315Yeah it's no wonder they made the desperation move for skubal.
>>157277333Smart clubs don't need make desperate moves at the deadline.
>>157277333
tigers looking good
>>157277310They’re not going to prevent the lockout, the new baseball agreement is going to be advantageous to them. In the last century the Yankees won the world series at least once every few years. They’re trying to do the same for teams like the Red Sox so they pass the Yankees. Then next century they’ll pick another team to win 3 titles every 10 years. Who knew Contreras was better than Judge, Durbin better than Stanton, this kid from Triple A better than Bellinger, that Sonny Gray was the best pitcher in baseball while making 3 million dollars. How does a 3 million dollar pitcher come out of the blue and win the Cy Young after being trash his entire career. That’s how I know the game is fixed. Baseball is dying, that’s why they're scripting it to get things going, Fenway Park has been selling out the last three weeks because Red Sox fans spend the most so they're going to give them the most titles.
>>157277300Right now they have Crochet and Anthony coming back. There’s no sense in watching baseball because you know the Red Sox aren’t going to lose a game the rest of the way.
Padres are beating the Dodgers in the wild card round
sox got the hot hand
>>157277358what not winning a ring since 2009 does to a mf
Bad Morning everyone.
>>157277370sox gonna do it to em
>>157277371The Red Sox have won 4 rings since the 2009. It was the same set up in the 20th century though, the Yankees rigged it to get 27 world series titles. Baseball is an association, all the owners split the revenue. The new leaders of the association are the owners of the Dodgers, now it’s the Red Sox turn to go back to the World Series where if I’m correct they should lose to the Dodgers.
>>157277370sox gonna sneak up on ya
>>157277406Out of the blue they are better than the Tampa Bay Rays
Goyim that support the salary cap should be raped to deathit would ruin baseball just like it ruined every other sportit is at worst a way for billionaire jews to make ever more money off goyim, at best a gimmick to punish teams that invest in themselves and reward shitty owners in the name of "parity"its even funnier to see east coast goyim argue for won when the stankees did much worse than the dodgers ever have for 100 years straightits true what they say about gentiles, you do it to yourselves AND you deserve it
>>157277364Crochet isn't coming back
>>157277396make one for world series appearances
>>157277417the owners making more money isn't a problem, since they need money to keep the organization runningthe players getting paid more is just more money in their pocket, they aren't paying employees or paying for stadium renovationsthe owners want a fair game, the players just want bigger paychecks
How are the Yankees among the favorites to win the World Series?
>>157277452Because it's betting odds and the yankees draw money
>>157277440No he’s coming back
>>157277417I agree>>157277448I disagree
>>157277417the dodgers have an advantageous situation because the last owners declared bankruptcy and get to keep 90% of their tv money instead of 60% like everyone elsethis will correct itself in 2030 and the dodgers will be losing money just as they have to start paying all their deferred contracts
>>157277417>it would ruin baseball just like it ruined every other sportHockey has grown alot since they implemented a salary cap. You see teams in warmer markets win it now that otherwise wouldn't have been able to compete.
>>157277462he's definitely notthe last pitcher with the same shoulder capsule injury has missed 2 years and counting
>>157277459It all sounds like bullshit to me, all of a sudden the Red Sox are the best team in the history of baseball.
>>157277469Yeah he’ll be alright, they don’t need him. The Red Sox are already pre determined to win the World Series this year.
>>157277468Fuck Hockey
>>157277472They are on their greatest run ever which is pretty wild
>>157277417>bro it would be so much better if the Cowboys had 20 rings rn People born after 95 shouldn't be allowed to post on /sp/
>>157277482Not “their”, in the HISTORY of baseball. The greatest run in the entirety of baseball.
>>157277452Because they always are. They’re a big market team that always gets overestimated by the general, nonattentive public. Like >>157277459said, it’s just preying on degenerate optimistic new yorkers
>>157277125>last place mest
>>157277482So now they’re going to sweep the Oakland A’s and make history again when they double sweep teams.
>>157277481I’d like to play that variation ;)

>Aaron “Goldilocks Ball” Judge fanatics calling baseball rigged kek
>The Red Sox only win because they cheat! They’re not even good, they randomly won 4 world series because they cheated!Not exactly1. We were already one of the top 2 teams in the AL in the early 2000s (at that point in time the Yankees and Sox were objectively better than any NL team). In 2004 we landed Schilling and grabbed some key pieces at the deadline to finally get the better of the Yankees. It was smooth sailing from there to the chip.2. We were still a contender for the remainder of the 2000s. In my opinion, 2007 was the “goldilocks” zone which balanced seasoned veterans in their waning primes (Varitek, Drew, Lowell, Ramirez, etc.) with young upcoming talent (Pedroia, Youklis, Ellsbury to an extent). While we were still great directly before and after that year, we were in the perfect position to make another title run.3. If one of our titles were to be considered “lucky” it would be 2013. But then again it would be more appropriate to call our 2012 campaign “unlucky”. We still had the most clutch ballplayer of all time in Ortiz, but most importantly, our clubhouse culture and chemistry was unmatched.4. If you put an asterisk next to our 2018 championship, you’re a dumbass. We were by far the most talent-loaded in the league, only the Astros could hold a candle. Betts, JD Martinez, Bogaerts, JBJ, Sale, Price, Porcello. Eovaldi. Holy shit. Too bad we discarded all of them like they were pieces of garbage.
>>157277588Judge is bringing the team down, they'll never win a WS with him, and he’s a bad leader with empty accomplishments. Meanwhile Willson Contreras in his age 40 season turned the entire Red Sox clubhouse around into World Series favorites in 4 months. How don’t Craig Breslow and John Henry have 8-9 World Series titles since 2018?
>>157277632I am NOT reading all of that
>>1572776322003 is probably the most legitimate one they have because in 2013 every other team was injured, it’s pretty much a flu ring and in 2018 none of those players were good. JD Martinez hit 55 home runs because they were cheating, the only one that’s good is Betts and they have an asterisk next to 2018 like the Astros have an asterisk next to 2017.
>>157277632>we

>>157277675you can shit on their players all you want, but 2018 was one of the most dominant teams of all time, if you factor in the regular season and postseason
Where did this mindbroken red sux spammer come from
>>157277705No, they're not. That’s when they had the trash cans banging around and Cora even got suspended for a year. Now it’s just straight up fixed because baseball is dying.

>kept their guysSkubal is washed and Mize was never good. Coastoids got scammed and Detoilet looks best they have all season. Many don't understand smart baseball.
>>157277139lucklike the red sox a month ago they are a fake bad team and could very easily go on a big run
>>157277785Skubal is signing with the Red Sox un the offseason.
>>157277774canadian geese?
>demand this from the Brewers >give Skubal to the Dodgers for a bag of chipsHow is this not collusion?
>>157277417Literally literally literally all you literally need to do is 50-50 revenue split between MLBPA and MLB (owners will never open their books), full revenue sharing between all clubs based on national and local deals (this one actually makes sense for MLB with the death rattle of cable and MLB wanting to offer their own all-in-one streaming service, but good luck convincing the Dodgers, Yankees, etc.), and set harsher penalties for teams exceeding AND falling short of payroll at the end of the year by starting with loss of picks/bonus pool money right out of the gate. Wowee look at that greater parity and MLBPA would be making more total money without a cap on individual player earnings.
>>157277825It doesn’t matter, the Red Sox rotation is better than anything the Dodgers could assemble.
>>157277785>Mize was never goodNever healthy maybe but you lack ball knowledge if you think he's a bad pitcher
>>157277900Isn't he healthy now and got lit up?
>>157277900Enjoy San Diego, Casey. Try to give up fewer runs tho
>>157277785>Many don't understand smart baseball.Yep. No better proof that this very genny.
What's for lunch?
>>157277922He hadn't pitched in 11 days and got lit up with a new team in one of the worst pitching stadiums in the league. He'll be fine. Meanwhile, Melton is all smoke and mirrors and Tigers who will get exposed
>>157277943It’s 8 in the dang morning.
>>157277962What's for breakfast?
>>157277943canes
>>157277866Sounds nice but it wouldn't work. Revenue is so fungible and so much of it can be taken off the books that it's functionally meaningless. You know Cohen is never going to agree that his gigantic casino complex counts as Mets revenue, same with everyone else who make their real money on parking and shops and stuff around the stadium. The answer is to just raise the league minimum salary a bit, maybe tweak arb some, and most importantly get TV/Streaming revenue sharing sorted out for the 2030's.
Dodgers are tanking so they don't have to play the Phillies or the Cubs.
>>157277943scooby snacks
>>157277953Nah, Melton is pretty good and can go more than six innings.
>>157277943eggs toast 'cado

>>157278028its good but often their tenders are the stubby fat kind which makes them less crunchy
>>157277976Desu I'm not sure MLBPA would have a real leg to stand on demanding revenue from ballpark-adjacent services outside of gamedays. Parking, definitely. But yes, I agree that the actual CBA will be more incremental.
>>157277987Melton is good; he is not sub-2 ERA good and if the Tigers make the playoffs (I suspect they will), he'll end up burning them
>>157278038>hand picked all of the ingredients at the storeAs opposed to what? The claw?
>>157278043It seems really dumb to lose a whole season and all the growth since the mid 90's just to stick it to the Dodgers who are going to have to pay the piper in the next 5 years regardless of what happens.
>>157278028The sauce is the only stuff to write home about. Everything else is just ok
gayriners kek
>>157278058It's all posturing. Maybe they lose a few games next year but I'd bet we have Opening Day by May 1st at the absolute latest
Who else is paying the piper?
>>157278082I don't think anyone blinks once they start a lockout. The MLBPA has a warchest and nothing else to spend it on, and the owners, if not frightened by the prospect of losing a month of games, probably won't be scared into losing a whole year.
salary caps are trash just makes everyone the same
>>157278122The Padres, but they're paying him now.
>>157278122I'm trying to avoid the piper. I forgot to call 811 and dug straight into one of his pipes
>>157278145salary caps reward smart teams that are good at drafting and developing
ownies fuck ya
>>157278188but the draft rewards tanking
salary cap debate is the lowest form of discussion
Smart teams like the brewers, rays, and recently the tigers, build through the prospect system and fleece dumb teams (largely overpaying coastoids). That's just baseball. You don't like it, /nfl/ is that way --->
rejoice! Gabriel Arias has been DFA'dalso boy am I glad we're not paying Lindor's salary
>>157277417I'm pretty sure the salary cap would lower ticket and stadium food prices. Isn't that the reason they're doing it?
I just want whats best for the sport, I hope we get expansion
>>157278286cap and an international draft
>>157278234That's why developing is half the battle. No HS kid is ready for the mlb

>>157278143The owners, especially the cheap ones coasting on the revenue sharing cream, are absolutely terrified of losing games. Players too, to an extent. Both parties should know how much the '94 season killed the sport's popularity and given the current global momentum I really have my doubts this is the CBA they plant their feet in the ground

>>157278245>recently the tigersWe're talking about the team that signed Javy Baez

>>157278380>HarrisOh, we're talking about the guy who folded midseason and will probably make the playoffs despite that just to run out of gas because they traded away two TOR starters? That GM? Despite having the best financial situation of any club in his division (Tigers just baaarely missed being top-10 in payroll)? The TB and MIL comparisons are ill-suited. Basically a Stearns Jr. situation except the Tigers aren't as cosmically miserable as thr Mets.

Guys we have to protect the top 1% of mlb earners. Imagine the horrors when Bryce Harper has to take a 5 mil pay cut. How can he afford his raw milk and blood transfusions. No I don't care that 40% of players who make it to the majors never cross the 1 million in lifetime earnings.
49 years without even ONE (1) singular pennant? That's frankly not possible.
*clears throat* Cum Shitter kek!

A National League team needs to beat the Red Sox in the World Series. They need to experience the same shock and disappointment the 2001 Yankees felt after getting upset to an out-of-nowhere Diamondbacks team, and started their 25 year downward slide they're still continuing on.
>>157278906You're probably not too dumb to get a stem degree, but not interested in math and science to actually learn what is required. There is a difference. You need to find what interests you and does it make enough money for you to live on. I love music, but I can't pay a mortgage by gigging. So I'm wageslaving in the stem world.
>>157278929Wait, I thought the Yankees had 27 rings. You're telling me that they have been mediocre for a quarter century
>>157278878no, reddit roasted one of the teams for not letting a girl play because it's against the rules
>>157278932Are you literally me?
>>157278929As a Dodgers fan, I think the Cubs will be that NL team
>>157278943Yes. Had the Yankees won the 2001 World Series, the timeline would have featured the Yankees winning the 2003, 2004, 2009, 2017, and 2024 World Series.

Baseball would be boring as fuck with a salary cap, it'll just be smart flyover teams winning and most of the country won't care. The fanbases are way more regional and the MLB can't really market some flyover team like Brewers to the whole country the same way NFL can with the Chiefs.
I think we should have more umps. I'm not sure what their roles would be but I just want more of them
>>157279427Solid ragebait attempt, wrong person to do it on though. The 27 ring debate is old and meaningless imo. They’ve been nothing other than mediocre since they last won in 2009
