Mike Wilner:Jays Talk

[Flashman]

Now laying into a caller for talking about how somebody is helping the team 'gel'. Granted, it's a ******** argument, but he soaks up such sentimental ******** when it comes from players, coaches and former pros. A court flatterer.

[Wilnercibia]

Wilner just needs to get laid

[ace3113]

Wilner just needs to get laid

 

He hasn't been laid since the Ricciardi era, ask his wife.

[dineke]

2013 wRC+

 

Melky: 89

Kawasaki: 90

 

Wilner keeps saying Melky has been good and Kawasaki crap. This could convince him he's wrong.

 

Wilner doesn't know what wRC+ is.

[o2cui2i]

Wilner doesn't know what wRC+ is.

 

Wilner thinks advanced stats is getting to see the menu before he orders the buffet.

[Flashman]

"Three, THREE wins off the playoffs. It is such a shame the season was over in April."

 

That's before taking any calls. As a rational and reasonable fellow, I would have thought Wilner would understand the statistical unlikelihood of the Jays getting to the playoffs. It's taken a historic streak to get back into contention.

[JFD]

omg this guy is retarded

[GD]

This idiot thinks JJ would take 4/60. Wow.

[fatcowxlive]

omg this guys is retarded

 

LOL this guy thinks 4/60 is an offer JJ can't refuse lol

His comments weren't on the statistical likelihood, rather the "sky is falling" attitude that resulted from the slow start.

[Caper]

This idiot thinks JJ would take 4/60. Wow.

 

60 million is a lot of god damn money. For an injury prone guy... That's a lot of money to turn down.

He ain't taking it man.

[JFD]

blue jay fans have gotten spoiled.. ok Mike whatever you say lol

There is a distinction. I get it if fans call up after three losses in a row and cry tragedy. But the Jays had an awful start, and nobody would have bet on them coming back from that. A moderate approach would be to say it's surprising, it's great, maybe we'll get fewer doom and gloom calls. But the way Wilner's handling it, the whole "it's SUCH a long season", is a I-told-you-so attitude which both defies rational analysis and any implication that he called this.

Dude, if I had Wilner's job I would be swearing my face off at 3/4 of the callers... It's amazing how reasonable and level headed he is with the level of idiocy which which he deals.

[Angrioter]

That was hilarious lol.

 

Guthrie 3/25

EJax 4/52

 

4/70 plus option is a fair deal for JJ

If you get paid to do that job, you are being paid to be a professional, i.e. not swearing your head off (the job security is a pretty good self-disciplinary tool). The odd thing is that I salute much of what Wilner has to offer, it's just the way he delivers it. Egocentric broadcasting at its worst. He could be a much, much better broadcaster.

[Angrioter]

Lawrie for Headley? lol

[G-Snarls]

Guthrie 3/25

EJax 4/52

He has a higher ceiling than them

 

But a poor health history

 

Does that make it even???

[Candy Maldonado]

omg i cant listen to these morons. Ya we will be worse with Reyes back.

[dineke]

Reyes is not that much better than Chase Headley.

[GD]

Reyes is not that much better than Chase Headley.

 

I was going to argue this, but I just looked him up on fangraphs again and wow. Utley is so f***ing underrated.

[bzapple]

And here I was thinking that the idiots only call in when the Jays lose. f*** these callers are stupid.

 

Play Kawasaki over Reyes!

Lawrie for Headley!

Extend Melky!

[GD]

lol these people

[dineke]

Huh? Yea Utley is underrated also but I wasn't talking 'bout him.

[Angrioter]

Yeah, Reyes >> Chase Headley

I'm amazed that I managed to misread "Chase Headley" that f***ing badly.

Poor Canadians.

 

The few Canadians who know the baseball game are here bluejaysmessageboard.com/

[Metallijay]

Caller: Extend Melky, we got him at a bargain! He's been crushing!

 

Why do people keep saying this!?!

 

Don't know baseball obviously.

[bzapple]

Caller: "Adam Lind was good last year! He just only did so with runners on base. That's the only difference."

 

haha caller after caller with stupid comments. Wilner tearing him apart.

 

Haha I'm laughing so hard at this guy. Wilner is doing a good job shooting him down.
