I’ve never had this translated, but it appears that the infield has been worn out by Westbrook’s grounders, and that Hafner beats up on righties but bows to lefties, and I’m sure we can guess what the Tadano one is about. The CC and Wickman frame is surely a fat joke.

No idea on the others, although it appears that teammates were in awe of or resentful of Coco and Vic.

Yep, 6 years later, we still have our best player. What is everybody complaining about?

I can read some of the Konglish.

Westbrook being raved about for being a “sinker baller” and the 435 refers to ground ball outs.

Sabathia: Ace
Wickman: Closer

Wickman appears to be saying “Hardware”…?

Crisp is chanting “Coco”

Jimenez apparently has the arm of Pedro and the lower body of Wakefield.

This has been incredibly helpful, I know. You’re welcome.

What. Is. This.

I think it’s awesome.

But I can’t tell.

Surely someone has a friend of a friend or something that can translate it. This guy used to do a ton of MLB comics, and had a pretty good handle on each team. He has a really long one on the 1996 Tribe lineup. The pics are pretty funny, but it’s mostly text. I’ll try to drag it up.
