Calhoun is a saint. I love that red haired motherf***er! He's Erstad of 2018. I would trust him over anyone in right field. He deserves better than what he's gotten. 

A SAINT! DO YOU HEAR ME?!?!

Pujols, oh for the love of christ, he's just...he's gonna be here. I'm blown away by Arte's throwing money into fire tactics. It just fascinates me.

I mean there are world class teams out there and we're still dealing with stupid Arte's dumb money burning tactics with horrible players who don't do crap and it just amazes me that people actually show up to the games or wanna pay money at his dump of a stadium for beer or food it's downright embarrassing at this point, egg splattered all over Artes dumb face and spending but nobody wants to say it, but holy hell man you spent a quarter of a million on a dude nobody cares about meanwhile you have the most amazing phenom in baseball since Mantel and the asshat can't even *try* to get him in the playoffs it is driving me up the wall. 

*deep breaths I'm good*

 

 

I'm really just sad Trout isn't in the playoffs and Jeter sucked ass but since he was in the playoffs so often people think he's great even though he's not and goddammit, Trout should be there every year! I mean it!. Why can't Arte get his head out of his ass!?

 

existential crisis I'm leaving bye

THIS has to be the most over the top post in the history of AW. 

Please seek professional help.

Oh well in that case, much better! Phew!

 

Is that supposed to help or hurt him?  He didn't have as much on the line, so he wanted to outdo is game ending 4 pitch strikeout in game 2 by striking out on 3 pitches in game 4?

There is still a lot of pressure. I'm not going that far and say that he didn't have much on the line. Just seeing the tying run on deck still scares me. Obviously, the Royals didn't want Trout to get on base  since Pujols was going to be the tying run. I guess Trout's strikeout that ended the series in game 3 shouldn't count then or should have an * right next to it since it was a "garbage time" strikeout.

So criticize Bryce Harper because he was the tying run, but give mike trout a break because he still had to face a lot of pressure.  And then throw out his series ending strike out.

You present great cases

I'm not the one fighting for some dude who sucks at baseball, can't make contact in the DIVISIONAL SERIES WITH 1 RUN DOWN? Dude gave up. Threw the towel. Trout NEVER gives up. Never will. 

You lost credibility the second you put that asshat's pic on your avatar. 

This makes you ridiculous.  Trout strikes out plenty.  Is he better than Harper, of course he is.  Does Harper suck at baseball, not and its a fucking joke to say he does.  Remember Trout may not have given up in 2014, but he sure did suck.  

[tdawg87]

Harper has a career OPS+ of 140. He's accumulated 26.1 WAR before his 25th birthday. 

What an absolute piece of shit.

[fan_since79]

I'm going to give Harper a pass.

We haven't gotten past a division series since 2009. That's the real ugly truth here. Harper is irrelevant to me.

this thread would be more fun, if it wasn't a microcosm of the current state of american culture. that just makes it depressing.

Naw, it's because Harper is a douchebag. And he's a mediocre ballplayer.

And everyone knows it. 

For some reason, that's just flown over your head. 

Harper batted .319/.413/.595/1.008 this season. 

You have a mediocre brain.

And everyone knows it.

[Taylor]

Harper is mediocre? Nope.

Harper is a douche? Yep.

Harper is better than Trout? No.

 

Let's have some common sense, people.

The announcers for the Yankees/Astros game said either Judge or Altuve will be the MVP. Judge really?

Surprised they mentioned Altuve in that reference.

[fan_since79]

Judge is totally lost at the plate.

[JustATroutFan]

Strike 2 to Judge in that last at bat was way too low. Nevertheless, he's getting carried by his own teammates in the postseason, just like Kershaw.

[daygloman]

Luckily for Tanaka he was wearing a cup during the Altuve AB.... Heh!~

[IEAngelsfan]

2-0 Astros!

[daygloman]

Why's the place so quiet?

The Evil Empire, the team with the most "arrogant entitled asshole fans" who ever existed, are losing 2-0 going into the bottom of the 8th....

I love it!

I'm hoping the Stros can keep it up! Heh!~

It's Friday, people are doing a lot of great and fun things that are not related to baseball.
