Paracaidas posted:Whatever happened to the MiLB prospect thread, anyway? Any time someone wanted to talk or be happy about their prospects a bunch of assholes raced to see who could assure them that actually they would bust horribly just like every prospect. I think eventually mods shut it down and nobody bothered to make a new one.

Ammat The Ankh posted:Most GSW fans loathe the Lakers and Clippers, though I think everyone hates the Lakers (as they should). I've been to Lakers @ Warriors games back when the Lakers were good and the Warriors were hot garbage, and watched the natives screaming their lungs as Kobe & Friends made buckets. Ammat The Ankh posted:IDK about hockey. The rest of it was largely on dirty pool actions from players on the teams themselves. Including this great moment of underhanded play which amused the hell out of me no matter how blatantly illegal it is. (Arguably, it's that it is so cartoonishly dirty that makes it better than regular old cheating). Also, and this sounds so stupid and it really is, but the Kings were the first hockey team to hire a social media person who tweeted with sass and attitude using the official account. It's commonplace now but having a catchphrase-spouting meme machine that ridicules the other orgs instead of the usual boring "Hi fans, come to the rink tomorrow for a free hat" tweets was totally new at the time. That actually does more to make fan bases hate each other than you might think. (EDIT: Forgot to mention that the tweeting goes hand-in-hand with other LA hockey activities, which includes chanting "[whoever] sucks" to the Addams Family theme. But they don't reserve that just for rivals. They do that to anybody.) Craptacular! fucked around with this message at 06:37 on Jul 21, 2017 |

Sydin posted:Hell, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Beane's demanding Torres or Clint Frazier as the gem of a package. Gray is the only game left in town now that Quintana's been dealt, and that trade set the price of good young cost-controlled SP at two top prospects. Granted Gray doesn't have quite the track record that Quintana has and he's an injury risk on top, but on the other hand seemingly every team wants him which is going to drive the price up. A's should at least swing one top prospect out of a Gray deal, if not two. Quintana is better than Gray and has an extra year of control. I think Torres would be fair with maybe another prospect or two outside the Yankee's top 10. Otherwise I'd want at least Frazier and someone in the Sheffield/Adams/Fowler realm to go with it.

Inspector_666 posted:I was about to defend that trade because Beltran did pretty well, but then I remembered they gave the Yankees Dillon Tate. Yeah I don't consider the Tate trade a bad one because of the Rangers own stupidity handling him. Beltran hit well for us and won us some games down the stretch and that's all we could've asked. Texas attempted to change Tate's delivery to a less violent one but he couldn't adapt and stubbornly wouldn't let him go back. The Yankees did and, surprise, he's pitching well again in the minors. Even if he ultimately doesn't make it as a starter he could be a very good guy out of the bullpen for them in a couple years. The Rangers player development has this lovely habit of trying to convert obvious relievers into starters and it failing miserably. We pretty much ruined Alexi Ogando and Neftali Feliz's careers attempting this. CJ Wilson is probably the only person this ever worked on, and even he developed problems a couple years into his Angels deal.

I hate Girardi and his assigning relief pitchers to specific innings. Robertson was warming up for the 7th, 8th and 9th innings. Should have just used him after the 7th inning because he was already warm, instead of having to bring Betances in because it's his "turn". Chapman still came in for the 9th despite the Yankees being up 4-0 and him having pitched for 5 of the last 7 days. I want him fired/contract not renewed but he is pretty much guaranteed to be getting a raise after this season because apparently Cashman and the Steinbrenners love him.

Dexo posted:Lmao STL fans loving hate the Cubs. I feel like the Cubs have a lot of fanbases that hate them (Cards, Sox, Brewers) but the hatred from Cubs fans toward those fan bases is pretty tame. Maybe it's from a century of sucking that made Cubs fans not get worked up about other teams. I remember the saying that White Sox fans would rather see the Cubs lose than the White Sox win growing up and still find it to be true today.

Tigers had three Royals runners caught in a run down at various times during the first inning of Thursday's game and managed to get zero of them out. It's a good baseball team ran by a competent front office. For reference: https://mediadownloads.mlb.com/mlbam/mp4/2017/07/21/1628682983/1500610352330/asset_1800K.mp4

What do you think it would take for the Pirates to get Yu Darvish? Marco Estrada? Alex Cobb? Essentially I've never been more mad at the Pirates for not nailing down the Quintana deal this past offseason.

My sister wore a White Sox hat to a game at Wrigley when she was a teenager and some dude more than twice her age was nice enough to call her a bitch because of it But yeah, as a Cubs fan who went to the University of Missouri, Cardinals fans I knew would try to talk poo poo, and I would always just agree with them that the Cubs did suck. Nobody can hate the Cubs better than a Cubs fan.

That said, I find the vast majority of Cubs/Cardinals fan interactions I've been part of are mostly just good-natured ribbing. Thinking on it, I'm probably harder on Royals fans than I am Cardinals fans, strangely enough.

It's weird, because I like individual players on the team and I rooted for Folty to get that no-hitter, but I still hate the team as a whole. I understand that I'm supposed to hate the Nats now too, but I refuse to hate a team with Bryce Harper and Max Scherzer on it (edit: unless one or both of them gets traded to the Braves).
