***Official MLB 2016 SEASON THREAD****

[awwchit2]

In other news, Puig doesn't seem to be learning the lesson the Dodgers are trying to teach him by sending him down to AAA.

fukin lol just saw this

Friedman's response



I see nothing wrong with Puig posting stories of him partying and having a good time WTF? What's wrong with that? He's partying with his teammates. BRB get sent down cause the FO thought Reddick was an upgrade and you're suddenly not allowed to live life? GTFO out Friedman you idiot. Make a statement with how stupid your trade was with the As. BRB longest healing blister still hasn't contributed nothing to the team. Meanwhile Reddick batting a healthy .087

I know I said I wanted Puig traded cause of his injuries and basically we might as well get something good in return, but at this point he's the best OF we have. Might as well keep him and hope he himself increases his trade value in the offseason if he is to be traded.

As long as he isn't getting in trouble, and performing on the field, it is a non-issue.

Collin McHugh after Gomez lost the ball in the lights last night.

It's just the Puig controversy train like it's always been. I won't hold a grudge on somebody for having a life lmao. Reminds me of Matt Kemp and Rihanna years. I didn't give one fuk. Cause lettuce be real tea, if any of us were pro ball players and had the opportunies to slay celebrity poon easily, all of us would do it and not abide by some "play the game the right way" and "be married to the game 24/7" old timer bullchit.

Agreed.

[tonyparker69]

Debatable.

No it's really not. Bad players don't put up 3.5 WAR per 162 games.

It's not even debatable. He's garbage.

TonyParker you remember when the trade happened I said if it looks like he's sucking again you need to bench immediately and not look back? LOL this is not a guy you give a bunch of time to and hope he comes around.

He's now a black hole in your lineup if the Jays aren't benching him. .139 and 16 K's in 36 ABs.....lol Enjoy.

Should have dealt for Markakis instead. Jays goof'd.

Definitely not. Any reasonable person knew he'd likely have an adjustment period to the new league pitching like Tulo did. It takes a while, no reason to write him off after 36 at bats. It doesn't help that he's not even getting regular playing time because Gibbons is an idiot and would rather play Smoak for some reason.

[TyGuy505]

Tfw you turn the game on and see that carapazza is the home plate umpire :/

[tonyparker69]

i will never understand how this guy still has a job

[BattleshipGrey]

you *******s see the homerun that Kris GOAT Bryant just hit?


Holy smokes, sounded like a cannon going off, had to be 400+ feet

[SoutheastBeast1]

Only thing that I could see as "racially insensitive" in our PC world, would be the fist up, denoting some sort of racial power movement.
Like was said earlier, he is Dominican, so any pointing to Black Pride is misguided.

So raising your fist is now BLM related? Lol wow.

Coping hard. Lol at needing to adjust.

If it goes anything like the last time he switched leagues he'll be "adjusting" for 2 seasons

Good luck on him contributing to your playoff goals

[BattleshipGrey]

Willson Contreras is going to be the best all around catcher in baseball by end of 2017 season, hell he might do it by end of 2016 playoffs. Dude is extremely athletic, absolute cannon for an arm (throwing out about 47% of runners), decent contact hitter, good power, good on base skills

[tonyparker69]

So raising your fist is now BLM related? Lol wow.

It's because the face itself looks like a white dude with blackface, not because the arm raised up thing. Terrible design, even worse judgement by whatever potato approved it

Yeah maybe.. hopefully its just due to lack of playing time. Something mental with both him and Justin though, whenever either slumps, they both start swinging for the fences and making contact with nothing. That's not a good way to bust out of a slump

And our new long man is sh*tting the bed too. ERA of like 16 in the 2 non extra innings appearances. Why can't it ever be our turn for bullpen

Man shut up. I've never met a bigger homer than you in any sport. Even if you extrapolated his stats to 100 games, he'd be like the 8th best catcher in the league.

[SoutheastBeast1]

Kemp with the slide

Braves up!!!!

[eod8989]

I fuking love pham. Ridiculous power and good speed. Dude really needs to be an every day player

[BattleshipGrey]

He's also a rookie getting better with every at bat. Did you see the jump Kris Bryant has taken from his rookie year? Contreras' OPS would be #4 in the majors over a full season


All around catching - athleticism, defense, arm speed, on base skills, power. He's just an absolute stud

[SoutheastBeast1]

God dammit Aybar

[eod8989]

Cardinals bullpen and defense is the worst I've ever seen

[eod8989]

Alex reyes is filthy. 79 mph knee buckler and then 101 mph high

[SoutheastBeast1]

Mauricio!!!!!

Braves 6-2 with Kemp

[heyquikquestion]

Alex reyes is filthy. 79 mph knee buckler and then 101 mph high

Why'd the Cardinals keep him down so long while trotting out dog **** in the bullpen the last month? I know he was struggling a little bit in Memphis but he still would have brought more to the table than Rosenthal or Broxton.

[heyquikquestion]

Tommy La Stella was finally interviewed tonight and said he's contemplating retirement. Doesn't want to play anywhere else but with the Cubs. I like the commitment but that's kind of weird. Still can't believe we traded Vizcaino for him.

That is really weird. It's not like he won't be back at least by the September roster expansion anyway.

[T-Roach]

Seager's 3 run homer made this a whole new ballgame

[MulattoBrah7]

Man even Fenway was claiming to see the GOAT one last time


Powerful

I like girardi but he's a retard sometimes jeez, he should play a rod tomorrow, I'm pretty sure boston's starting a lefty so sit McCann who can't hit lefties for **** and have Gary Sanchez catching and arod DHing

If he homers I'm naming my first born Alexander

[T-Roach]

Go f-ing M's!

Kris Bryant isn't the norm, most rookies hit a wall in their sophmore season. There's a reason the term sophmore slump exists

Doesn't seem like its Girdardi. Can't think of any reason why Joe wouldn't play ARod in his final week. I can think of plenty why Hal Steinbrenner would force Girardi to not play ARod

New face of baseball gents



That cute baby face (no homo) probably slays all the LA pussy mannnnnnnn

[x-trainer ben]

I hope he is bilingual!

Bautista to 15 day DL, say goodbye to the big contract you want.


He's been playing like crap this year anyways
