Carlos Danger Old-Timey Member Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 I fully get that its a 162 game season. But 3 weeks should be enough time to see who can hit and who cant. If you wait any longer its wastes opportunities for others If this were the case. We would have DFAd EE every year and never had his very good bat from May through October.
Omar Old-Timey Member Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 Alford is the only guy I'd have up here that isn't up here. Vlad needs some "seasoning" (read: we need to get that extra year of control) and Bo, Biggio etc aren't knocking hard enough that I'd force them onto this team. But how many ab's has Alford had in his career at AAA....basically nothing. He's had bad luck but hasn't knocked on the door hard enough.
Corporal Valdal Verified Member Posted April 6, 2019 Author Posted April 6, 2019 Did you watch the last AB? He was gassed. That was a really smart pull. Fair enough! I really do like what I see out of him. I just like my starters to finish there innings is all
Corporal Valdal Verified Member Posted April 6, 2019 Author Posted April 6, 2019 If this were the case. We would have DFAd EE every year and never had his very good bat from May through October. How dare you make me remember that lol

Corporal Valdal Verified Member Posted April 6, 2019 Author Posted April 6, 2019 Are you new to baseball? 3 weeks is nothing. It's brutal right now but this is what rebuilding is. 3 weeks should be more then enough time to see if a player can hit every day, go back to the minors to work on something or remain on the bench! Just my opinion is all
Deadpool Old-Timey Member Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 But how many ab's has Alford had in his career at AAA....basically nothing. He's had bad luck but hasn't knocked on the door hard enough. He had a great second half last year, he had an excellent 2017 in AA, and he had a great spring training... He's knocked a hell of a lot harder than any of the other OFs we have (other than Grichuk)
bones10 Old-Timey Member Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 The Jays haven't lost a game by more than three runs so far into the season

Just my opinion is all Literally every player in baseball can have a 3 week stretch where they look like a HOF player, or look like they should be released. 3 weeks gives you almost zero information in baseball.

Just my opinion is all We are not going to have a good year, accept it and save yourself the frustration and enjoy the season.
Corporal Valdal Verified Member Posted April 6, 2019 Author Posted April 6, 2019 over/under on more than 5 players ending up with over 150 SO this season?
Deadpool Old-Timey Member Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 The Jays haven't lost a game by more than three runs so far into the season Because the pitching has been way better than anyone could have expected this year. I hope it keeps up at this pace, for sure.
Corporal Valdal Verified Member Posted April 6, 2019 Author Posted April 6, 2019 We are not going to have a good year, accept it and save yourself the frustration and enjoy the season. I have accepted it! and cant wait to watch every day this season

Just my opinion is all It can give you a basic idea, but you sure as hell don't use batting average to evaluate it.
Deadpool Old-Timey Member Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 f*** idiots like Pat and Buck always saying "I'd let them swing 3-0" STOP SWINGING 3-0 goddammit.
Corporal Valdal Verified Member Posted April 6, 2019 Author Posted April 6, 2019 It can give you a basic idea, but you sure as hell don't use batting average to evaluate it. Understandable

saskjayfan Old-Timey Member Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 man drury seems to stand quite a ways off the plate....
Deadpool Old-Timey Member Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 Yay, this ump f***ing sucks and stole a walk from Drury there.
Corporal Valdal Verified Member Posted April 6, 2019 Author Posted April 6, 2019 man drury seems to stand quite a ways off the plate.... Yeah, I have noticed that to. I am glad im not the only one
Deadpool Old-Timey Member Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 Can someone please stop giving Buck and Pat any RBI stat? That's the most useless f***ing stat in baseball, and they're presenting it like it matters.
Omar Old-Timey Member Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 Bosox......World Series hangover. Hope it lasts until after we leave town next week.
Corporal Valdal Verified Member Posted April 6, 2019 Author Posted April 6, 2019 Bosox......World Series hangover. Hope it lasts until after we leave town next week. Good I f***ing hate that team and they have the worse ballpark in existence. How that place is still open is beyond me
Omar Old-Timey Member Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 Buck and Tabby have never got a pop culture reference correct.....ever.
Corporal Valdal Verified Member Posted April 6, 2019 Author Posted April 6, 2019 Urena proving why he should be in the line up every day
Deadpool Old-Timey Member Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 So, Urena is... having a good season Having Maile bunt here can to f*** itself. This is s*****. BRING BACK GIBBY!
Corporal Valdal Verified Member Posted April 6, 2019 Author Posted April 6, 2019 So, Urena is... having a good season Having Maile bunt here can to f*** itself. This is s*****. BRING BACK GIBBY! Yeah for a guy who has been a manager for over 20 years I shake my head at some plays he wants so far
Deadpool Old-Timey Member Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 Oh f***, do we have a bunting manager now? I don't want to have a bunting manager. This f***ing sucks.
