MLB Daily Thread: 4/19/18: Red Sox are first team in 15 years (7th in live ball era) to start 15-2

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Can you imagine having a rotation of Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer, David Price, and Rick Porcello. I can. And no we didn't win it all ...

Just not enough heart, I guess.

Right, @dougplayer?

PS somewhere, the guy in that gif...hates that gif.

It's fun to contemplate what he's doing. Is he:

1. Ringing the bell in a really weird way
2. jerking off into the bell
3. Using the bell hammer to pummel his schvanz
4. trying to extract the bell hammer from his urethra

The possibilities are nearly endless.

Apparently, they can't blame Votto and his .258/.315/.273/.588 slash line, but my fantasy team can.

Fucking Canadian.

He had a rough start in 2016 as well, hitting a mere .229/.327/.313 in April. He hit better in May, but it was still a pretty meh .200/.333/.484. He finished the season with a line of .326/.434/.550.

I know. I've had him on my team for years.

Pot calling kettle black??

Nice start. But this red sox team couldn't carry 1984 tigers jock. You remember that team slinky??? 35-5 start. WS..ring.
We broke one off in Indians all year. And they liked it

 

[packerzrule]

They better beat the effin Angels tonight

Too bad you weren't alive to enjoy it, soft-tosser.

Freddie's wrist isn't broken! I am so happy, I think mine is about to be.

acuna

acuna

I am ready. He appears to be breaking out of his "slump" in the minors. No reason not to promote him asap.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

acuna

Matata!

 

[navamind]

acuna

".567 OPS. He should have been up Opening Day"

slow start

 

[navamind]

slow start

My post is a jab at the "Bring him up on Opening Day and forego a 7th year just to have him for two weeks in 2018!" crowd. I don't think any less of Acuna's MLB prospects, he'll probably be really good. You just have to keep expectations tempered for a 20-year-old rookie, they're not all going to have immediate success like Harper or Heyward did.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

slow start

Like the aforementioned fucking Canadian.

 

[dougplayer]

It's hard to understand how a Indian fan can say any thi g about winning in the live ball area.....no ring to show......but slinky seems to know a lot about live balls

Now, now ... be nice ... we will hate you again when we are good enough!!!
