The 2017 MLB Thread

The Cubs will be aight, they just need a leadoff man, and another starter. I think you try some in-house options first. I think they could stretch out Edwards Jr. & convert him from RP back to SP, and try Almora Jr. at leadoff

 

[Mister B.]

They might as well knight Jeter tonight, the gifts they gave him. Shit.

He killed it, tho.

 

[MR.CJ]

Congrats to Jeter

 

[northside7]

Astros saying fuck a Jeter night lol

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

Jeter night and the yankees give up back to back lead off hr's lmaoooo

 

[Mister B.]

Tanaka disrespecting the fuck outta Jeter Night. Dude just gave up a slam. 6-0 in the FIRST.

Scust, B. Deadass.

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

Bregman wit the grand slam

 

[HustleThaDon]

Boys brought the bats out tonight

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

Why yankee stadium so empty? Aint hardly nobody there on jeter night sad man

Are the yankees gonna get rid of this wack no facial hair pedo policy? Bryce harper gonna shave his beard for this?

 

[infamous114]

Loria used to have that policy cause he wants to be Steinbrenner so bad lol

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

Get schwarber out the lead off spot he is not a lead off hitter.Happ should lead off, switch hitter with power and a good eye just like fowler had.Happ ob% was .362 at triple a

 

[9TRAY]

Must be nice for a squad to call the next man up from the Minor's as a position player, and look like future All Stars almost over night. I'm trying to hold fast to them Ozzie Championship memories, but shit it's pushing damn near 15 years, White Sox been basically trash since '06

 

[StoneColdMikey]

Cubs offense will get it together . Lester and Hendricks looks slightly improved from April. Our bullpen is playing well aside from the scared of rendon. Lackey actually been decent too. Arrieta and Anderson is our weakest spots imo. Well hopefully butler can continue to pitch well.

 

[StoneColdMikey]

Eh 2015 we were basically .500 and still won 97 games. And I believe we are more talented now then 2 years ago

Yea but that team played much better than this team is playing right now even in losses they were more competitive.This current team lacks something, pitching and defense fell off too.They never played good without fowler, I think that has something to do wit it.Which is why happ should get a shot at lead off I think he has the poise even tho he just got called up.

They also took off in the 2nd half they had the best record in mlb 2nd half of '15 + arrieta has that historic 2nd half.

 

[AggieLean.]

Man, Freddie with another homer today and a few hits. One of the best hitters in the league. Kemp is hitting well, also. Team has to start winning tho

Hey, they've won their last 4 of 5. Brandon Phillips is playing pretty well also although uber prospect Swanson is still hitting below .200. Offense isn't a problem with this Braves team it's their makeshift pitching staff.

I really don't see anybody fucking with the Astros overall though, that team is ridiculously stacked offensively hell they got players like Gattis, Aoki, Reddick, etc. that don't even play every day that would start on most teams. Granted their pitching staff is pretty average after Keuchel who's back on his Cy Young shit this but it might not matter with their offense.

 

[infamous114]

We suck

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

Cubs got a decision to make when heyward comes off the dl.Gonna be hard to send happ back down dude poise is ridiculous drew 2 walks(one bases loaded) and hit an opposite field hr last night.

I'm more open to trading schwarber for pitching than I was before.

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

These local crackas(media and fans) talkin bout trade baez for pitching.Meanwhile they cape for schwarber who is hitting .187 and has 0 defensive value.I watched baez make game changing defensive plays in october and in the postseason(excluding the world series) was the only cubs hitter besides bryant who actually hit.
