They didn't

Fuck Brandon Phillips. If the dude had accepted the trade to the Nats last offseason, he'd have been on a winning team AND my Mets wouldn't have spent the whole season getting ass fucked by Daniel Murphy.

The Twitter beef between Noah Syndergaard and Mr. Met is nothing short of amazing.

Lmao that's amazing hahaha.

Blue Jays are now Latos intolerant, signing Mat Latos to a minor league deal.
|
Update to the potential Marlins sale as it turns out Jeffrey Loria might be Trump's pick for Ambassador of France.
If that happens, the Kushners will not make a bid so there won't be any controversy. |
Amusing the biggest news the Cubs have so far is the bullpens are moving off the field at Wrigley
|
Nick Swisher calls it a career. Gonna join FOX as an analyst.
One of the better personalities in the game. |
His wife is hot af.
|
Padres sign Jered Weaver to one year, $3 million deal. If they were gonna sign a washed up ace with declining velocity, I'd have preferred Jake Peavy.

Sox recently added more pitching depth after signing a deal with Mexican League pitcher Hector Velazquez

It rarely works out to the two best teams record wise actually getting into the World Series due to the overall randomness of the playoffs - but the Cubs and Red Sox really do seem to be in a tier of their own ahead of some other really good teams.

Guaranteed the Red Sox will not win the AL East

No I'm not being a jinx so far this year in fact I came fairly close to predicting the score of the SB..

Shut up Droford. You have zero objective method to even insinuate the Red Sox aren't the best team in the division. The only player on your team better the anybody on the Red Sox is future Yankee Manny Machado
|
Chris Davis .221/.332/.459 with 38 hr is better than Mitch Mooreland .238/.298/.422 with 22 hr
|
I guess I'll give you that. Boston is still better.
|
wow
|
Boston wins because Chris Davis hits .221 and is better than Mitch Mooreland. Never mind the influx of Cy Young calibre pitchers in Boston's starting rotation and tremendous hitting starting line up.
|
That's besides the point, Dale.
|
Droford's complete inability to be objective is hilarious
|
We'll just see what happens
|
Orioles traded for Vidal Nuno from the Dodgers .
He's a former starter he started 28 games a couple years ago.. |
He's way better than Chris Sale.
|
Apples to oranges considering he's going to be a lefty long reliever
I suppose I should just mention as well the Orioles bullpen is superior to the Red Sox bullpen. Enjoy your awesome starters pitching only to have Francisco Abad who was so bad after they got him he wasn't on their playoff roster come in and give up the game. |
Nationals signed Matt Wieters to a 2 year, $21 million deal.
|
Intentional walks are a thing of the past.
Now you just hit a button in the dugout and the runner automatically trots to first. |
Score one more rule change for Commissioner Manfred.
|
Finally

I feel dirty agreeing with STD (filthy Sox fan) but I hate this change too. But life goes on and ultimately it doesn't really affect anything dramatically.
|
Like the decision since outside of rare occasions, the end result is always the same. Might as well let pitchers save those 4 pitches for later or more important situations. MLB doesn't really save that much time overall but pitchers get to save a bit of their arm for games.
Think it might have been Busty Olney recently who said the amount of times that play gets contested every season is tiny. Like around 4 times or so where it gets botched or doesn't result in an auto-walk. |

That's quite the hot take you have there
|
Quote:
Meaningless to waste four pitches when the outcome is rarely anything other than a free pass. Keeping it just for "the risk" is dumb. |
I know major leaguers don't just "lob them in" on the intentional, but is it really wasting pitches

Axe Bat will be the next big thing in baseball
The magazine article im reading focused on Dustin Pedroia using an axe bat last year he hit .335 in 422 Axe Bat ABs vs .289 in 276 regular bat AB (and his 11 for 11 streak was using an Axe Bat). The Pop Sci article said Mollie Betts started using it last year too... Only Oriole I know of using one is Hyun Soo Kim |
Mookie! If you can get some Korean name right you can get that right!
|
the name Mookie just sounds inherently racist idk
|
lol wut
|
It sounds like a racial slur, is what I was getting it.

have v fond memories of obnoxiously yelling POO-HOLES at a bar while drinking fishbowls and he was up @ bat
v good times |
Boston already losing 3-0 and no hit thru 4

how's ol' Spearchucker doing
is he playing |
Its very annoying the Os are playing and no way to watch or listen
|
lol Droford getting into spring training games thinking they represent anything that'll happen in the regular season.

The Red Sox are in last place..lol better get used to it

The Mets very nearly batted around without putting a ball in play. 6 walks, 2 strikeouts.

Is Delabar pitching?

Because it means nothing? Useless as any of your Droford Stats.

The Orioles lost their first 14 spring games last year it feels good they're 2-1

Didn't the White Sox win spring training last year? Suck it.

MASN is repairing 6/30/09 game vs the Red Sox as the 6th greatest game in Oriole Parks 24 years.
Its currently 9-1 Red Sox in the bottom of the 6th.. |
One of the craziest gamed I remember seeing |
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OZIMU0pm67s" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
|
That was 5-0 not 10-1
|
Yeah but it was all in the 9th. There was nothing in the 9th in your game.
|
Yes cause the os scored 5 in the 7th and 5 in the 8th.
|
Very next day Red Sox scored 4 in the 9th to win 6-5..uhg
|
I know game 162 has to be in the top 5 Oriole Park games..it was better than this game. Its like the moment you can point at ad the turnaround for the Orioles franchise..
|
Turn around? Huh?
|
1998 to 2011 orioles 14 straight losing seasons
Haven't had one since. Game 162 was the last game of 2011 knocking the Red Sox out if the playoffs. And clearly hiring Buck in the middle of 2011 was the turnaround point but they were still bad in 2011 |
Oh. Didn't know being a decent team was considered a turn around. My bad.
|
Lol turn around. They haven't done anything of significance. Making a few wildcard games and one round playoff appearances isn't a "turn around".
The Cubs had a franchise turn around. Even Cleveland. Toronto has had more of a turn around than Baltimore and their cameo playoff appearances |

|
I guess the Orioles are on their way to the pre season world series championship

unfortunately if they're poo this year that attendance is plummeting. Toronto is a fickle fan base. |
At a certain point I just accept it's best to block Droford for a bit instead of just seeing the constant bickering nonstop. We all know he's an idiot.
|
David Wright won't be able to throw a baseball for weeks.
He looked done last year and now it seems even more apparent. :( |

2015
262/310/449 107 ops+ 1.6 WAR 2016 256/316/533 120 ops+ 1.6 WAR How about instead of cherry picking stats you just call it as it is. Surprise surprise, Trumbo was the same barely major league regular he's always been. Do you really want people to go back and point out all the dumb shit you say, like Jonathan Schoop is better than Jason Kipnis? Or how Joey Rickard was a good player? |
Quote:

Quote:
Schoop will be in the 30 hr group with Trumbo Davis Machado and Jones this year. Plus he played in all 162 games last year which Kipnis has never done in his career. I was wrong about Rickard to the extent of how he played when he was healthy but he was on the DL for a large portion of the year. Speaking of the Indians they seem to want Anthony Santander back from the Orioles..he's going to have a bigger impact as a Rule 5 pick than Rickard did. |
@Droford can you pls predict AL East final standings
not a hater just genuinely curious!!!!! As usual I have the Yankees penciled in for 162 wins and 0 losses... |
