The douchey Mets are so close to the Douche H o F. Hopefully they can meet the Blu Ays and have a Douche WS for the ages.

From my point of view the Red Sox are douches!

The only douchey thing from the Mets this year is when David Wright yelled at Thor for eating lunch or something.

 

[MultiJhonny]

So if Arrieta throws a perfect game that should seal his Cy Young this year right?

I also find it funny that he has struck out every Pirate once this game but Burnett lol

I'd give it to him for the narrative alone.

BOO HISSS

Harper would look tremendous in Blue Jay Blue & White.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Harper would look tremendous in Blue Jay Blue & White.

He'd look great in Expos red, white and blue.


How "The Playing The Game The Right Way Handbook" doesn't have a section on being apologetic if you accidentally hit a batter. I thought this was a gentlemanly sport....

 

[Chuck]

haha, this is good shit

fuck papelbum

He is winning it. 20+ wins and a sub 2 ERA while leading the Cubs to the postseason. All of this will play well with voters even if they have progressed somewhat from those stats.

Best in Yankees pinstripes.

Oh, yea. ; _ ;

what the fuck was that bastardo

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Da fuq?

Pirates don't know how to count?

 

[zroid]

Well that's weird haha

 

[thefro]

Pirates trying to cheat by "forgetting" the ball/strike count to let their pitchers get warmed up.

Hopefully the Yankees will have overloaded their roster with overpaid over the hill players that they run out of salary room...

Please sign Johnny Cueto to a nine year megacontract.

Clin Turdle clearly managing the right way.

All of our big contracts other than Tacoby end in the next year or two. We're going to make it rain on Harper.

It's pretty much concensus that the Yankees get Harper.

Now, getting Otani/Fujinami. That's the big ticket to winning moar WS.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

MMM Castro is driving the fuck out of the ball.

 

[harSon]

fuck baseball

 

[Frozenprince]

If you guys sweep you still have a chance.
Woosah. Woooo sah.

Never heard of Fujinami. Have a quick scouting report on him? Any comps?

 

[harSon]

Kind of a bullshit call, even though it's going to be righted

 

[bonesmccoy]

Nationals' manager says that he didn't see the incident. Was 'at the other end of the dugout' and is 'livid' about it.

 

[Chuck]

as long at he looked at that, definitely a single

I'd love to hear all these Natinals fans stick up for X/Y during their postseason run!

Here's a few lines from my notes on him.

Shintaro Fujinami

Pros: Quick release, 3/4 motion smooth excellent feet and plant, doesn't throw down/cock, solid mechs. Plus slider, flashes plus plus, sits at 85-88, breaks horizontally with excellent plate movement. Plus Fb flashes plus plus, sits at 96, touches 100, good vertical life, resembles a sinker when it's on. Big, solid frame, room to add bulk, young, good arm length, deception is top notch.

Cons: Splitter flashes plus but doesn't go consistently enough, struggles with his grip consistency, spins too much to break in on batters when he overthrows. Thin, needs to add weight and muscle. Struggles with command of the SZ, will occasionally get lost in his own head and overthrow to compensate for missing the zone. Change is not a viable big league pitch

GB pitcher, excellent K numbers but can pitch to contact when needed, shows great poise for the game.

Current values/Future Values

FB 65/70+ SL 65/75+ SPL 50/60 CMD 50/60+ FV 70+

Kid can pitch. He'll earn as much, if not more, than Otani. Reminds me a lot of Pedro.

 

[zychi]

Whats Jake's updated era? 1.83? Am i calculating that right?

Potential for 3 plus pitches, two plus plus pitches, and plus command?! Dear mother of god.jpg

He'd go 1-1 in next year's draft easily.

Dude watch him pitch, people are saying Otani will command stupid amounts of money? Fujinami is just as good, if not better.

This isn't a prospect or a HS kid, this is a guy that's been a professional pitcher since he was 18 years old, he's 22 now, he has a 2.42 ERA, he has more K's than hits allowed, he doesn't give up HR's.

Kid is good.

You guys can always sign some stupid big contact in the meantime, maybe Hideki Irabu ver 2.

Winning the division in Frisco will be fun.

Papelbon and Harper going at it? Thats like a water truck colliding with a vinegar truck.

All you hear is DOOOOSHHH.

Wait Papelbon got into that fight then pitched after?

WTF Matty...

 

[kess]

Trading Papelbon turned out to be the best thing the Phillies did all year

[evil solrac v3.0]

Who gives a shit how he was playing? That is irrelevant.

He was barking at a shitty player for quitting on the team, then was challenged by notable shit player.

They both lose, but I'm not buying some narrative that paints Bryce Fucking Harper in some kind of fraud hero role. Guy is cancer.

guy carried the team the whole year. how the hell can you say he's a cancer?
sometimes you try too hard Sanj.

Mike Trout?

NL failure, Bryce Harper?

you really have to defend former Sawx guys huh? loyalty. I like that.
