That guy is garbage!
Neither team wants to win this division :biggums:
Only 3 more HRs for Pujols to reach 700. He has already surpassed A-Rod and only Bonds, Aaron and Ruth hit more HRs in MLB than him.
ESPN will cut into every Aaron Judge's battings during its scheduled Leagues Cup soccer between FC Cincinnati and Chivas de Guadalajara tonight. Judge is about to break Roger Maris' 61 AL and "clean" MLB HR record.

Congrats, Pujols. :bowdown:

If I had a vote for MVP, it would be shohei.
Blue Jays will still have a very slim chance to win AL East only if they sweep Yankees this week. The magic number for them being in the Playoffs now is 3.
Tie fvcking ballgame in the NL East. MASSIVE series this weekend.
Going to the game on Friday; Fried vs Bassitt. LETS GO!
Don't follow baseball, but Aaron Judge just hit HR #61, tying an AL record.
The only guys who have hit more home runs in a season were all juiced.
Pujols hitting the best he has in a decade is proof he never should have left St. Louis.

Even when he was in his prime in STL he had plantar fasciitis and often played through it. If he had taken more time off probably would have had better longevity.

The most hilarious thing about this is that no fan caught it and Judge got it back for free lol.

It really was, they had their 3 best pitchers going and the same 2 bums hit HRs off them every game. Someone remind these guys to NOT pitch Swanson fastballs... Mets big hitters were ass, only one that really showed up was Mcneil. Lindor and Polar bear Pete... how about some pop? Singles ain't beating the Braves. But still, now that I am over the whoopin, I hope degrom and max find themselves. Not confident against Padres but still have faith in them 2.
[QUOTE=HylianNightmare;14666342]Braves played great[/QUOTE]
Yep and the Mets played like shit. Braves been damn good for a while though. Kinda have to, to come back from 10.5 down.

Those 2 bums are both all stars :lol
But yea I don’t really view this as a Mets collapse. The Braves just took it. Since June 1st they’re 77-31.
That’s 114 win baseball overall a long span.

As bad as this series was, it’s not what lost the Mets the East. Atlanta’s a great team. They showed it.
What lost them the East was going 6-8 vs. WSH, MIA, CHC & OAK in Sept.
The Mets have to reset and get ready for Friday. It’s a tougher road, but it’s still in front of them.[/QUOTE]

Still have more confidence in the Mets getting right than San Diego doing anything.
The Padres aren't a great team. I'm not sure I've seen them be a great team for even a 3game stretch this season. Snell is pitching at his absolute best right now though.
lol Blake 5 innings Snell. I miss real pitchers. At least we have Sandy Alcantara.
Judge hit 62 btw. If he's clean he is now has the record for most homeruns in a year without steroids.
I can rest easy now. Braves are Division Champs for the 5th time in a row. Chop Chop.

What’s a “real” pitcher?
[QUOTE=ShawkFactory;14666860]What’s a “real” pitcher?[/QUOTE]
Someone who can pitch over 5 innings consistently.

Are there not people who can do that?

Plenty of pitchers do this including one of Snell's teammates ... Yu Darvish.
It was a pretty clear inference he was talking about the top tier of strike throwers when the point of reference was Sandy Alcantara.
There's no reason to beat around the bush trying to trap RRR3 in his choice of words if you have an objection to that. :confusedshrug:

They're asked to do different things than they used to. In same manner that the 3 outcome mindset for hitters is used, the primary goal of most top pitchers these days is to miss bats. They can afford the extra pitches/decreased efficiency required because of the rise of bullpen arms.
Also because of the increase in stress on guys arms (and bodies in general) with the increase in velocity, you don't see too many guys come into an inning with much more than 95 or so pitches.
Calling it now. Dodgers vs Astros in the world series

It is important to miss bats but I wouldn't say it's the primary goal of the best pitchers except Corbin Burnes. The league average strike% for a starting pitchers lands around 66% every year. You're never going to find Verlander, Buehler, Urias, Cole, Fried, Degrom, Max, Nola, Bieber, Alcantara, Yu, etc more than a few percentage points below the average. Burnes is the exception to this rule because he gets the most swinging strikes in the game... and I don't think it's any coincidence that Shohei forced himself into that group this season by throwing more strikes.
Snell has never taken that next step. It doesn't mean he's a bad pitcher, but it doesn't lead me to believe he will ever come near another cy. The consistency aint there over 30 starts. When he's rolling like he is now... he is as good as anyone in the game.
The Dodgers are ahead of the curve here. Tyler Anderson and Andrew Heaney fit into the same profile as the rest of their starters throwing strikes at a clip higher than league average. The guys they held onto throw strikes... Buehler, Urias, Gonsolin and May. The ones that didn't last like Josiah Gray and so far Pepiot do not.
Zaidi has brought that philosophy with him to San Francisco if you look at the way he's constructing his pitching staff... both the pitchers hes bring in and the development of their own guys.

The obsession with velocity has led to more injuries and a worse product (5 inning pitchers, every other batter looking like Adam Dunn, much less balls in play). It's retarded. Even Randy Johnson rarely threw as hard as he could. But he also could go more than 5 innings without collapsing like a little bitch.

The first post you've ever posted that made sense. The other 44,179 posts are complete garbage.
It’s not JUST that pitchers simply can’t go more than 6 innings these days. There is a lot of data out there regarding the 3rd time through the order. If someone is less effective in these situations then it makes sense to turn to the BP.
I can’t believe the Cardinals blew that. Ugh
