MLB Random Thoughts [4/8 - 4/14]

[Jayrock]

you must be a serious fucking faggot to want the DH

[NAHSTE]

I get why people like the non-DH, I really do. Just realize that you're willingly offering to see worse players (bullpen arms, subs) play more regularly because of it.

Fuck yeah subs. I like versatility, athleticism and the ability to field being valuable for a club. #Strategery

 

[Jayrock]

while were at it lets just have 9 fielders and 9 batters....at this point im willingly spending money to watch worse players.

MOAR DH

 

[Slateman]

Weird, I don't think the Braves have had a closer controversy as of late. Are you sure the Nationals are following their model correctly?

I'd trade all three of those guys for Kimbrel in a heartbeat.

Totally dude, once you replace 1 shitty hitter with a 1 above-average one in the lineup (like every other league in the world) you may as well just scrap the whole game and blow it up.

SLIPPERY SLOPE~!

We wouldn't get the random jubilation that is the PITCHER HOME RUN though.

Kershaw was the coolest story on opening day. CC with Milwaukee did some cool shit too. Not all pitchers suck at hitting gotta let them try. It's un-American to suggest otherwise. Everyone gets their chance to bat. You must be a communist.

Not all pitchers are bad hitters. Just like not all DHs are good, there's a lot of quad-A replacement level slop in that extra slot too.

...No, that's not my "logic". How...what? God you're awful.

 

[SuperKevin]

I honestly don't understand how most pitchers can be such awful hitters. Most of these guys likely played other positions and were required to hit regularly when they were younger. Were they crap hitters back then or did they just completely forget how to swing a bat the minute they decided to step up on the mound for a living?

 

[FedEx227]

It's just not something they work on the second they go to the professional ranks. They don't pick up a bat at any point during their minor league careers. They don't do it during ST, extended ST, camp, etc.

 

[Woy]

Damnit, I didn't want a set off a DH debate. I was being sarcastic.

Besides, the CRADS don't need one. Our pitcher helped himself out with a RBI today.

Most/Some of these guys last took actual at bats in high school... Kind of a different game.

Don't the minor leagues, colleges and every other country in the world know about TRADITION?

Most MLB pitchers bat in high school and the DH is used on a worse position player jussayin

10x as many sacrifice bunts in college than in NL ball. You'd hate their adherence to archaic tradition even more.

 

[FedEx227]

I do find it hilarious that guys with metal bats sacrifice bunt as often as they do. That's pretty rich.

Which is why I said minor leagues, colleges and every other country and didn't say American high schools.

Fenway sellout streak of 820 consecutive games will end in 15 minutes.
