Jays are pulling it together proper this year. Huge wins in Boston, plus a solid series win in Arlington last week. Anyone else into Baseball?

Pirates sucking dick this year, would be ok if it were just the hitting but the starting pitching is miserable

Hopefully the starters will get their shit together and polanco (whos OPS is like 1.2 in AAA) will get called up in around july and have a puig season and save us

[kidshuffle]

Wont be payin attention to baseball til basketball ends, but, anyone got the show 2014? I'll school your asses

[DJoe]

just a shit version of cricket

[kidshuffle]

Except theres a bunch more strategy, plus less just running back and forth.

Either way, cool story bro.

[ehbes]

Sox been playing like limp fucking dick. got their asses pounded dry by the tigers this past weekend

[dickman69]

Cricket is dumb as hell

[SignalRecon]

just a shit version of cricket

They're completely different. Baseball has a completely different dynamic and strategy and the tension that can build during a good game is excellent.

[SignalRecon]

I think tonight's win for Toronto puts them up to 1st in the east now?

[kidshuffle]

yeah they should be on top.

the season is still young, but lets hope the jays dont fizzle out later on.

[wub]

I liked Moneyball.

[Shum]

I'm going to my first baseball game in a month or so. Been watching a handful of the few games they show on telly over here, seems straightforward enough.

[garethom]

Either way, cool story bro.

Don't get why european sports fans are so insecure about american sports, like they even effect each other.

[Sexual_Chocolate]

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck off

hit the ball, run to base.

throw the ball, hope he misses.

[wub]

This thread has made me want to watch Moneyball again now I think about it. Moneyball and Limitless in fact. That'll be on the cards this weekend.

Infield shifts, spray charts, double switches, sabrmetrics... yea its just swing bat hit ball (o wait thats actually cricket)

[Sexual_Chocolate]

nope.

but i wont lie, they are completely different games. i dont mind the odd game of baseball, but i just prefer cricket. the gentlemens game.

[ehbes]

Very subtle edit wub nicely done

The 'Seth Troxler on fesivals' thread doesn't get an edit though
