Sports 2017 MLB thread

I’m recording this and watching late but have the following opinions:

Costas was and is a cunt - he’s looking very old and beaten, which I laugh at.

Houston thankfully got rid of that gay fucking playground outfield (this could have happened a long time ago but Houston never amounts to fuck all so I’m excused for not knowing)

 

[Hauler]

Watching now. Had no idea they had an early start today.

 

[Hauler]

Altuve! A lot of power in that little guy.

he's looking like Scooter Gennett out there

anyone knows a good river for baseball? mine is not good.

 

[HEATH VON DOOM]

I really like Houston. Felt bad for them when they lost to KC a few years ago.

97 RBI from that dude this year.
That's good enough to tie him for 26th in MLB.

And he did it in only 461 ABs.

That's an AB:RBI ratio of .210412
6th best in MLB for batters in the top 40 for total RBI.

Best was JD Martinez with a ratio of .240741
Giancarlo Stanton was #2 with .221106
The other 3 players with a better ratio than Scooter were Paul Goldschmidt, Nolan Arenado and Nelson Cruz.

I know you are wondering - Aaron Judge was 7th. Right behind Scooter.

Happy for Houston. Good win.

 

[Hauler]

Bauer has a crazy 12:6 curve. Thing drops like it's rolling off a table.

 

[Truck Party]

Time for the Indians to light Gascan Gray up

 

[Hauler]

Bases juiced. Nobody out.

 

[Hauler]

Sanchez has shitty technique on blocking pitches.

been a problem all year, his hitting makes up for it but it can be pretty bad

I don't watch much AL. I see him glove catching these things and I'm like "WTF?"

What's really frustrating is that last year his defense was fantastic and his arm is ridiculous. This year it's like he's forgotten everything he was doing then.

He also had these same problems in the minors and were bad enough then that a lot of people were writing him off and thinking that he'd be a DH at best.

Bases juiced. Nobody out.

If the Indians did something with the bases loaded I'd be winning all my baseball tourneys even without Altuve

 

[Truck Party]

Gary F'n Sanchez, went deep in the first. Got a recap of baseball season from Draftkings, he's been my most rostered player 2 years in a row

 

[Robbie Hart]

Well, this didn’t work out as I planned

 

[regular john]

There's always next year

 

[Robbie Hart]

There's always next year

Yeah, never give up but at least we’ve won a title since 2010. All teams who haven’t won since then are just weak or overrated

I has bad feelings about this series.....there are too many banged up players

The red sux lose.

Maybe they should stop having butt sex with each other.

They haven’t done very well tbh.....wanted to see the yankees choke against them again but that is unlikely unfortunately.....
