GDT (3/3) | Blue Jays (53-48) vs. Royals (45-58) | August 1 — 1:07 PM

[Jonn]

Still blows my mind that the Jays gave up more to get this guy then the Dodgers did to get Max and Turner. I don’t know if I’m ever going to be able to wrap my head around that.

[JFD]

man.. Guriel in the outfield gives me anxiety

Meh not that big a deal, scherzer had a NTC for one, a lot dif situation, plus we are not the dodgers.

Scherzer could choose what team he wanted to go to and kinda hampered the Nats ability to get more.

 

There you go

Exactly, people always ignore context.

[Eat My Shatkins]

f***ing seriously?

 

7 pitches and the Jays go 1-2-3?

 

Come the f*** on boys.

I would have gave up what we gave up to get Trea Turner alone. Who most would value way higher than Berriors. Must be nice to be the Dodgers. Seemingly unlimited payroll with the abillity to bend teams over in trades on a regular basis.

Exactly, Nats had no leverage.

[Jonn]

Stop whining lol jesus.

 

Its not whining its questioning asset management.

Can Turner pitch?

[Eat My Shatkins]

Shad up

 

lol no

How long are you going to whine about it? it's done for days now, we are a better team now then before. Time will tell if it works out or not.

[Jonn]

Can Turner pitch?

 

No but he’s a far superior player that would have added more value over time. Glaring opening at 3B where Bo could have shifted over.

I agree, I feel the Nats were dumb to package the two players together.

[Eat My Shatkins]

Nice double play!

[Jimcanuck]

Wow, nice DP to get Taylor

[Omar]

What a dp!!

[Eat My Shatkins]

Had to dodge the spear flying at him, and still makes the play.

[DigitalRock]

Berrios is a good fielder as well.

They did? Last time I checked, Keibert Ruiz ranks higher than Austin Martin on both BA's and Fangraphs' updated rankings. He's also absolutely dominating in AAA this season, unlike the two guys we traded.

 

Max Scherzer also had a full NTC and obviously controlled the suitors that Washington could engage.

[Eat My Shatkins]

The Royals don't seem to K much. Even Manoah only had 4 yesterday.

[Jimcanuck]

nice AB by Olivares

[DigitalRock]

Berrios with a lot of straight fastballs down the middle so far today getting hit hard. Hope he gets sharper as he goes.

[Jimcanuck]

yes they put the ball in play and hope for BABIP luck

If Berriors pitches like the value he was traded for I would never “whine” about it again. All I said it’s tough to wrap my head around the value difference. You decided that was me whining. This is a litterally a message board where people share opinions.

Based on what?

 

How you value prospects around the league?

[Eat My Shatkins]

Nice K

[Spanky99]

Filthy pitch!
