Regardless of who ultimately wins the World Series, there will be at least one particularly undeserving member of their team\u2019s organization, that will be getting a World Series championship ring.<\/span><\/p>\n In the red corner, we have pitcher Madison Bumgarner<\/strong>, who will get a WS ring if the Dbacks win the World Series, despite the fact that he was cut all the way back in April.\u00a0 MLB rules state that any player that plays any duration of time on the team\u2019s roster, is entitled to a WS ring upon the organization\u2019s winning of a championship that season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Despite the fact that Bumgarner got blown up to the tune of 20 runs in just 16.2 innings in April, and was kind of a dick about accepting any sort of coaching, the rules do say that if the Diamondbacks, he would be entitled to receive his fourth championship ring, in spite of the fact that he hasn\u2019t been on the roster for over six months.<\/span><\/p>\n And in the blue corner, we have Max Scherzer<\/strong>, to his credit, is still on the Rangers\u2019 roster, but has been trying his hardest to prevent the Rangers from doing any sort of winning.\u00a0 Since being reactivated for the ALCS, Mad Max has made three playoff starts, but has only pitched to the tune of 9.2 innings, and given up seven earned runs in the process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In spite of his ineffectiveness, the Rangers still won two of those putrid starts, and are two wins away from the Commissioner\u2019s Trophy; however the bad news is that if the Diamondbacks manage to stretch this series out even just the littlest bit, the chances of Max Scherzer getting the ball again in a critical game six or seven go up exponentially, and he definitely doesn\u2019t inspire any confidence in his current state.<\/span><\/p>\n So which brings us to the question of, who would be the heavier freeloader in one of the teams\u2019 hypothetical championship wins?<\/span><\/p>\n There\u2019s something to be said about a guy who was on the squad for 14% of the entire season, and ineffectively at that, getting a championship ring, but then there\u2019s the guy that is actively sandbagging the team\u2019s chances at getting the championship, right now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If I had to ironically pick one of them to get their ring that they don\u2019t deserve, I think it would be funnier if it were Bumgarner, but as it stands right now, the Rangers seem like they\u2019re a little bit more Team of Destiny™ than even the Diamondbacks are, so it\u2019s looking more favorable that Scherzer might gravy-train his way to his second WS ring, not to mention that he\u2019ll be due to make around $118M over the next four seasons being paid out from four different franchises.\u00a0 But on that same token, there\u2019s something owning towards the Mets that their big-ticket acquisition goes onto win a ring with another team after the abject failure of the Mets forced them to trade him.<\/span><\/p>\n Regardless, it really doesn\u2019t matter to me, and I really don\u2019t care so much as it\u2019s just mildly amusing that we\u2019re in a scenario where a completely undeserving guy is going to be getting a championship ring regardless of the outcome of the World Series.<\/span><\/p>\n (Ironic) reason #169 why baseball is so great.<\/span><\/p>\n [EDITlol<\/em>] not long after I wrote this, it came out that Max Scherzer was removed<\/a> from the World Series roster, citing some bullshit physical ailment, to which any sports fan with a brain knows, is the dreaded DL for sucking.\u00a0 And seeing as how the Rangers are now 3-1 in the series, it doesn\u2019t seem likely that a Scherzer in game 7 is even remotely a possibility, so it looks like Mad Max might be getting the ring he doesn\u2019t deserve.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Regardless of who ultimately wins the World Series, there will be at least one particularly undeserving member of their team\u2019s organization, that will be getting a World Series championship ring.
