OFFICIAL 2017 MLB THREAD

[SkiBall]

Moreland is killing it at the plate, but any ball not thrown directly to him is suspect.

[BmillsSkier]

Frankie Lindor MVP.

You heard it here first.

12 game hit streak

.392 ba

4 HR

13 runs

5 doubles

1 triple

11-4 victors tonight too if it matters.

[Supermoon]

They'll give it to Trout no matter what

They'll give it to Trout no matter what

Probably true. Guy is amazing, but there's a whole young crop under him ready to be recognized - Lindor at the top of that list IMO.



Fun story of the night: avid powerboatsman and 40 year old soft-tosser and Eddie Vedder chum Bronson Arroyo earns a win tonight with his old club, the Reds.

[ex-powderbroker]

Trout is still only 25, he might get better.

[Brock Landers]

Trout is the best player in the game, and I'm not sure its really even close

I cant believe Bronson Arroyo is 40. I remember drinking beers w him and Derek Lowe back at Daisy Buchanans circa 2002/2003/2004

[BmillsSkier]

Can't believe Trout is only 25. That's nuts.

I've always liked Arroyo, seemed like a chill dude and happy to see him take advantage of an opportunity with the Reds after 3 years out of the game.

In the "Things That Annoy You" baseball edition: watching a game played in Oakland. That incessant drumming is driving me nuts watching the Mariners-A's game.

John Adams looks at you in a disapproving manner.

I hope someone kicks a hole in his drum.

what a loser

[BmillsSkier]

From memory I think he's been beating his rally drum at every game since the 70s. While holding down his union job.

That's the American dream right there.

[The AD]

Was he inspired by the Todd Rundgren song?

[Supermoon]

Chris Davis looks like the guy who takes slow pitch softball way too seriously.

[BmillsSkier]

Madison Bumgarner to the DL from a dirt bike accident?

That has to be prohibited in his contract.

[54-46]

Madison Bumgarner to the DL from a dirt bike accident?

That has to be prohibited in his contract.

Fuuuuuuuuuck! That is all.

I always forget he's a big redneck sonuvabitch until you hear stuff like this. Or listen to him talk....

That other kook with the banjo was around all the time during the good days...then he moved on. Think he even went to the Giants for awhile. Looking older in some pics, maybe he is still doing it.


But nobody beats Crazy George, the alleged creator of The Wave. Love him or hate him for that, but he used to really get the party started.

Hey chowds....

THE YANKEES WIN, T-H-E-E-E-E-E YANKEES WIN!

[Brock Landers]

Remember the days of legends, mystique and aura? October?

now we have irul and his Yankees friends jerking each other off cause they went 12-7 the first 4 weeks of april.

[BmillsSkier]

Good news Chowds. If you check out the cool science thread you'll see that you're not too far off from seeing a reanimated corpse of a dead Chinaman with Ted Williams' head raking for your team next year.

[SkiBall]

Maybe that was the real intent of that head shot at Machado. Nothing personal, we just need the body.

Ok, so now that it is sinking in, I am laughing at the thought of Teddy looking down and going all Sam Kinison on his new "Chinaman" body.

I'm not ready for the circle jerk but it's nice to see your team play as if the games in April matter as much as those in September. Wonder who told them after all of these years?

I almost referred to you in that earlier post...but you're a somewhat respectable Yankees fan if it were to exist
