2018 MLB Season Thread

I never once said the guy was a bad hitter. I just don't think he's as supernatural as you say he is. He won't save the Dodger's season on his own.

never said that either

But having him in the lineup matters

Machado had back to back 6 win seasons... and this guy has the nerve to say hes had half a season lol

My bad, I incorrectly looked at WAR the last two seasons. He has had over 6 WAR in 2015 and 2016 but has not performed as well last year and this year. Currently Crawford has more WAR this year which is pathetic when you consider the market is high for Machado.

It's pretty sad when Brandon Crawford has more WAR this season than Manny Machado and has had more WAR in the past four years. Machado is a career .280 hitter with an OBP of .330.
If he comes to the Sox, he'll end up like another Carl Crawford, a guy who has a few career years mixed in with a bunch of shoddy seasons.

because brandon crawford is elite defensively. Best shortstop behind andrelton perhaps

Machado sucks at short

And youre gonna wish he was in Boston when hes killing it in new york

Yankees are unfair

Stanton, judge, gleybar, machado, didi, hicks smh

everyday I praise my ginger jesus nlcs walk off bobblehead

Rockies 18
Dbacks 1

5th inning. Dbacks had position player descalso pitching in the 4th lmfao. Trash team

Honestly, I hope Machado goes to New York. I hope they waste their prospects on him and resign him to a lucrative deal because he'll be the laughing stalk of the Yankees in two years. He'll be like the Crawford deal we made a few years back.

He changed position and is terrible defensively. He should be playing third

 

[CameronCrazy06]

But Crawford is having a really good year. Dont disrespect him

if anything he'll be better because he wont be at short anymore

Hes a third baseman

I saw him at disneyland one time on an off day

Low key jacked. He wears a baggy jersey but dont let it fool you

I was saying it was pathetic for Manny Machado, not Brandon Crawford.

Its not pathetic to be having a worse year than one of the best shortstops in baseball

People love to say
"We dont need machado, we need pitching"

Pundits say it
Yankee fans, dodger fans, brewer fans, etc

No man. I lived through the world series. You need Slug. Who hit the most homers last year? Astros

That was the one year whereoffense won the postseason. Not the case every other year.

Point is though, one player doesn't make a team.

 

[snipezo]

Can't believe a top 3 3B is being called overrated around these parts because he doesn't hit .300.

Dodgers, Brewers and Yankees are already good. All are going to the playoffs

Adding Machado just enhances their chances at going to the WS

Royals added Zobrist and won the WS, also added Cueto

Cubs added Chapman, Indians added Miller

Astros added Verlander and Dodgers added Darvish. Both helped get them there and I don't believe they get there without both guys
