>>158101624And what about the people who were shitposting about the Yankees spamming cum shitter and shit?
cum shitter kek
>>158101598with 27 cum shitter kek posts in the last thread, is cum shitter posting officially retired for the season?
>When the other team plays like shit, you winhow can you not be romantic about baseball

Theres no sports event I truly enjoy more than the MLB playoffs, one full month of comfiness, late night games, keks, 32-52 games with the season on the line every game
nice legs
>>158101627You got upset your pirate stream was 40 seconds behind cablechads and left though, it wasn't unwatchable at all, it's how the vast majority of baseball is consumed!
>>158101652
I’m a power(bottom) pitcher
>>158101676everything I just said standsyou dont think 18 ad breaks totalling 30+ minutes of ads puts a hard limit on baseball's popularity?it's one thing if you're at a watch party having fun in between innings
Good morning brewbros. Hope mlb doesn't make me stay up until 12:30 again fucking faggots I'm so hungover and tired
>>158101652We need something to get us through the lockout.
>>158101688You're playing LA, while the AL is going to be East/Central. Get used to staying up late.
>>158101692He’d make a great heel character for the Party Animals

>>158101652Cum Shitter kek

>>158101685My Pirate streams have no commercials just a “be right back” screen.
>>158101685Commercial breaks between innings or during pitching changes are not and have never been a detriment to the popularity of the sport. Dead time DURING THE GAME, like faggily jogging around the mound 10 times after each pitch or stepping out of the box for 10 minutes at a time to perform a rain dance and mess with the velcro straps on your gloves, did mess with the popularity of the game and that's why based Manfred gave us the pitch clock.
>>158101699He'd make a great heel character for the Banana Splits
My proposed league format:>32 teams>4 divisions of 8, no conferences/leagues>call the divisions leagues for all I care>156 game schedule>12 games against each divisional rival>3 games against everyone else >top 3 in each division make postseason>each division's 2 and 3 play in 3 game wild card round>each division's 1 plays its WC winner in 5 game divisional round>winner of each bracket is division champ and advances to 7 game championship round, seeded by total division records>9 game World Series
have any of the postseason games so far gone to extra innings?
>>158101728One of Volpe or Caballero will be a Mariner next year.
Imagine how much of a loser you have to be to spam a baseball thread on a Cambodian imageboard with the same unfunny line over and over.
>>158101685Baseball has a natural 2 minute break between each half inning. It's not like football where they're turning a 30 second change of possession into a 4 minute commercial
>>158101711I dont watch it on MLB pass streams because of that, I rather watch Sidney Sweeney semi naked than a blank screen, they should show the crowd or the players during the break like they do on the NBA
>>158101728if stanks, by some miracle, didnt have the HR called off they were getting raped by the rays in the 10th
Imagine how much of a loser you have to be to actually believe the Yankees had a shot at winning the pennant
Guys 2009 really wasn't that long ago
Guys 1909 really wasn't that long ago
>>158101743And that's why baseball is dying and football is thriving
>>158101685You just dont get the spirit of the sport, those breaks are for the people on the game to buy another beer, if you are on the bar you talk with someone, if you are home you can go to the restroom or get something to eat, you can shitpost in between eanings about how florida teachers are pedos, thats part of the fun bro. Besides american adds are fun to watch.
Wow 2009 was a really long time ago
>>158101755I say this.
They shouldn't resign Cashman
Unc thinks 2009 was last year or something
Look at the bright side brosAaron Boone is finally getting the boot
>>158101761One of my friends made a really good point that HDTV has helped every other sport way more than it has helped baseball. The wide screen let's you see more of the football field, basketball court, and hockey rink, but in baseball it's still just the battery on screen most of the time.
The last World Series the stankeedoos won is almost old enough to vote.
>>158101759it really isnt, thats 4 generations agoeveryone here's great grandparents were alive that yearthats the difference in how whites think, we operate on a scale of lineage and continuity lasting centuries. we dont only live in the now, we make our ancestors proud while setting up our future success.
The Yanks should pick up Perry Minasian as their next GM.
>>158101761Concussionegg peaked in 2025. Baseball is growing in popularity but this could change if they lock out next year. Apehoop is the one dying.
>Guardians Dodgers WS still on the tableAnything but this, I'm begging you.
>>158101627One of the reasons I dont move to europe is for the timezones
>>158101797It's a Raydgers WS anon.
>>158101787Japanese streams at least let you control which camera you want to see. MLB should play more with PIP at least. More overlays should include the pitch sequence especially.
>>158101755Fun fact:These video games were released AFTER the new york yankees won their last world series title.
>>158101796so… hockey?
>>158101818I think hockey is doing well but it’s still far behind the other 3.
Padres strengths going into the series was supposed to be their hot offense and the "best bullpen in baseball"They lost with an 0-for-21 streak at the plate (the longest hitless drought in NL postseason history) and the bullpen gave up the winning runs in all 3 losses.
I don't need to lie no moreNowadays all I do is shineTake a breath and ease my mindAnd she don't cry no moreShe tell me that I get her high'Cause an angel's s'posed to fly, and...I ain't asking "Why?" no moreOh, no, I take it if it's mineI don't stay inside the linesIt ain't 2009 no moreYeah, I know what's behind that door
>>158101815Those are both so new I haven't played them so IDK what your point is, the Yankees CLEARLY have won too recently for me to change my opinion that they win every year and it's nice to have a short break from them winning again. >>158101811I don't think I have ever felt like there wasn't enough information on the scorebug.
>>158101818Hockey is kind of fucked. Including the 51st, only certain states that actually grow up playing it outside care about it.
I'm an obese tranny
>>158101822I dont think Poodres will agree Ray was a bullpen piece.But yeah there's no hope for the core that went 24 scoreless innings. They would need 4 Ty Frances to stand a chance, instead they have 4 AAA players.
>>158101796I feel NFL has decayed a lot the past 10 years, like the Collin thing broked everything and just now they are getting their shit back. NBA is really dying, every boomer you encounter goes on muhh Jordan muhh 90s muhhh seattle supersonics, games are not fun to watch anymore
>>158101824>both so new>won too recently>win every year>short break
>POODRES BAU BAU!!
>>158101818>>158101820I have a casual interest in hockey but the way the fucking fans of it never shut the fuck up about how hecking tough and real the sport is because they grab another player by the collar and have a slap fight once a game is off putting. And you want to talk about commercials interrupting the game, sheesh, 20 minute ad breaks 3 times a game plus whatever other commercials they air during a timeout or whatever is worse than football. The international competition and playoffs are fun though.
>>158101822At some point the (((analytics))) need to account for the fact that playoff baseball is qualitatively different. You need guys who can step up in the playoffs and deliver. Many guys who are great during the regular season shrink when the pressure is on. What made the Yankees in the 1990s so annoying to watch is they were loaded with guys who delivered in the playoffs. Thats what makes the Dodgers so annoying to watch now. Now Cashman seems to think the playoffs are a crapshoot and they’re just not. If they were the Dodgers wouldn’t exist.
>>15810183790's kids understand.
genuine question to the other 31 teamsdo you guys have a “platoon team”? i think only the yankees do this. they dont have anyone in their lineup that is the “starting” anything. the outfield makes sense most teams will move guys around, but the infield?our 3B plays short, our shortstop sometimes plays second, our second base often gets put at third, we have multiple first basemen playing catcher, and even had a relief pitcher play outfield a few times. WTF are the yankees doing?? who came up with this PLATOON SHIT. im tired of it. NONE of the remaining playoff teams do this. its the fucking BOONE PLATOON. the BABOONE PLATOON.
>>158101673I'm been pining for this angel for three yearsI love her
>>158101838I'm glad the ridiculously hotter sister won. The things I wish I could do to her.
>>158101849Baboone is the ultimate analytics-ball believer.
>>158101849>do you guys have a “platoon team”?what a great baseball roster construction idea
>>158101811Best we can do is let you put the radio stream audio over the video.
They are saying the Pope is throwing the first pitch tonight>>158101763>go to the restroom or eat 18 times in 3 hoursbased
>>158101839The intermissions are excruciatingly long in the NHL, I agree. But they don’t bombard you with commercials, you get player interviews and then former stars giving their analyses on the period. And you could always just do something else in the interim like make dinner or jerk off.
Brewers vs dodgers is good vs evil (tiny hats)How did the dodgers owners Guggenheims amass a $330 billion fortune? By treating workers like slaves • Pueblo and Durango Smelters (Colorado & Mexico): In the late 1800s and early 1900s, Guggenheim smelters operated continuously with 12-hour shifts. Workers shoveled coal into 2,000°F furnaces until exhaustion, resulting in regular molten metal spills, structural collapses, toxic gas leaks, and chronic lung disease. When workers struck at the Durango, Mexico plant (1903) for shorter shifts and safety, the Guggenheims refused to negotiate.• The Perth Amboy Mine Strike (1912): Workers at the Guggenheim-owned refinery in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, went on strike to protest low wages and dangerous conditions. The company hired armed strikebreakers to suppress the workers, resulting in four strikers being shot.• Bingham Canyon Miners' Strike (1912): In Utah, miners working under brutal conditions underground struck for an 8-hour workday, injury compensation, and an end to the exploitative "padrone" system (where labor agents skimmed wages). The Guggenheims rejected the demands, utilized replacement workers, and leveraged federal troops to break the strike.• Eccles, West Virginia Coal Mining Disaster (1914): One of the worst mining disasters in U.S. history occurred at a Guggenheim-owned coal mine. A massive explosion killed between 183 and 186 miners. The tragedy exposed severe corporate negligence regarding safety protocols, subsequently triggering widespread unionization across West Virginia.• The Kennecott/Alaska Syndicate Evictions (1916): Operating as part of the Guggenheim-Morgan "Alaska Syndicate," management ruthlessly put down a strike over low wages. Striking miners were forcefully evicted from company-owned bunkhouses and left exposed in sub-zero (-30°F) winter weather.
>>158101849>playoffs are a crapshoot >home run merchants>platooningCashman’s analytics operation is like 10 years out of date
>>158101849platoon teams have never won anything. even in the yankees history, all 27 rings came from teams with designated position players. no idea why they do this shit
>>158101861>make dinnertoo short>jerk off.too long
>>158101859take a guess why the adds are laxatives, ozempic, prostate cancer prevention
maybe instead of players teams should poach doyers staff instead and see what the secret ingredient ispeople will say fraud but the dodgers stunk after the ASB, opposite of the poodres, yet they're back to being poised to make the 3peat
>>158101873You forgot psoriasis, vertical video viagra, and brian cox narrated mcdonald's ads.
>>158101849it was a meme in the late 2010’s to platoon, the guardians and rays did this back then. yankees are always super behind on the times so theyre doing it now a decade later after its been proven to be a failureits like how theyre still trying to hit home runs when every team left in the playoffs are BABIP kings (the singular most important stat - not .xWOBA, not .OPS, not xOBAF)

>>158102762Same, I usually enjoy watching them play, but it's always fun when someone beats them.
we need to be scouting these teams that actually win for the correct players to poach to the bronx.i think this turang guy would be a good start.
As new owners of the Chadres, the very first thing Kwanza and Jose need to do this offseason is fire AJ Prellar.

>>158101822Our lineup was just a bunch of AAA shitters, Tatis Jr nowhere to be found, Merrill swinging at balls trying to be the Hero ball, issues with RISP, lack of slug or timely hitting, I don't think we were going to win with Austin hays, Jase Bowen and Dustin Harris.... Doesn't help with a rookie manager who didn't trust Buehler, overworked Miller and doing dumb shit like pinch hitting Austin Hays in the 5th.

Can someone explain to me how the Rays and Brewers won the most games over the course of the regular season with a fraction of the payroll as the Dodgers and Yankees? Maybe someone on lunch break
>>158103160Muhh Moneyball
>>158103160Well you have to understand, Reddit thinks it’s because they’re smart orgs and we are anti Reddit
>>158103160Smart baseball. Simple as
>>158103160They're cheating.
>>158103160They are smart teams
>>158103160Smart teams cheat and apparently reddit is fine with that, but we are not
My wife told me she's rooting for the Southside samurai after my Chadres got eliminated. Same for me too.
>>158103160smart front offices and also the law of averages. I don't feel like expounding on the second part but it comes down to: if there are lots of small market teams, eventually one of them will over-perform and succeed.
You mean you spent an entire year mocking the “smart teams” thing only for the two teams to finish with the best record in baseball and both make the championship series? How much humiliation can you take, honestly
>>158103160baseball is a dice roll
maybe keep tripling down and keep pretending like it was all a joke and you were legitimately bothered by it.
>smart teams like the brewers and rays gonna kek incredibly hard if neither makes the World Series
>>158103044>Well, Buhner was a good prospect, no question about it. But my baseball people loved Ken Phelps’ bat. They kept saying “Ken Phelps, Ken Phelps."
>>158103229People hate the teams that are basically cannon-fodder during the reg season. Pirates, Rockies, Reds, Marlels, etc. I don't even want to put the Mets or Giants on that list because they at least want to win but failed spectacularly.
>>158103253there is no chance the rays lose to either central team, much as I love the Popesox
>>158103160Unironically the power of friendship
It literally doesn’t matter. The fact that they both lead their leagues in wins and made it to the championship series with a fraction of the payroll as most “contenders” is proof enough. But I do support you continuing to make an ass of yourself
>>158103229What you fail to realize is that /mlb/ shapes the world around itself, and not the other way round.

>>158103254phelps was a good hitter, he was just already 33 when the yankees traded for him.
dombroskis resume is nothing but spending money and prospects to get to the playoffs for 5 years and then leaving the team in shambles. fuck is middleton doing with this fag?
>Okamoto was the only bright spot for the Jays>De la Cruz turning into a power hitter>Murakami had a great first season showing he's an elite hitter 3 nice bright spots I don't see people talking about as much.
>>158103226its much more simple than that. the brewers lost 36% of their games. play 100 7 game series against the rockies and theyll lose 20 of them. as long as they let more than 4 teams in the playoffs its not a legitimate championship
>cy young winners out already>mvp winners out alreadywhat's the point of these awards?
>>158103337even for a big spender, i think he's too loose with the payroll. especially on how many years he gives players.i can't imagine anyone else was in the ballpark on turner. and i don't believe anyone else was offering castellanos even 4 years. big against himself with realmuto, too. walker, nola, etc.

>>158103660All the games being close and low scoring really puts an emphasis on how costly these type of plays are. I've found that I've kind of had to recalibrate my expectations of how a game goes since offense is at such a premium.
>>158102362i hate it all
i still think the padres fans in the outfield should've beat mitchell up to make sure he doesn't catch that ball, it was over the fence meaning if they interfered it would've been a home run no matter what! if the brewers can do dumb "erm according to GROUND RULES, the ball you hit against our roof counts as a pop out!!" we should be allowed to do bullshit like that

>>158103160they play the game the right way
>>158103771it's literally in the rules that once the ball is over the fence, fans are allowed to do anything. it's to deter players from putting themselves in danger. you don't want fans trying to grab your balls, don't try and rob home runs!

What if the Padres intentionally sabotage their postseason similar to how the Chargers did in 2006?
i haven't been here since the all star break, but i'm back to watch my doggie doos chase history (with an asterisk, thanks walter!)yes i am a die-hard btw
>>158103825If one of my hitters struck out 227 times in one season I would hang him in the middle of the clubhouse
>>158103825thx. hadn't heard that. it used to be something I seemed to hear about often ever since I can remember and now it hardly gets mentioned.
>>158103845you're right but for the wrong reason. the players are forcing a brewers/rays world series to scuttle the lockout and avoid a cap

Ok the World Series is a given because both teams on the other side of the bracket are a joke but realistically do my Rays have a chance of beating the Dodgers or Brewers?
>>158104052No
>>158104052i think the rays are a sacrificial lamb for a salary cap unfortunately. they will be used in negotiations to be like "SEE, EVEN WHEN TEAMS ARE SMART AND TAKE THE TOP RECORD IN THE LEAGUE, THEY'RE NO MATCH FOR BILLION DOLLAR PAYROLLS, THE GAME IS UNFAIR"
>The Yankees had a lower average in the ALDS than one-armed outfielder Pete Gray did for the 1945 St. Louis BrownsKEK
nu?
>>158104052The Rays weren't even playing their best and they dismantled the Yankees, why wouldn't they be able to
>>158104052obviously they do you goof. they have the same energy the jays did last year. you're also guaranteed to be rested for the world series because la/mil is going 7. you are going to dodge miz/skuba/yams in game 1.
