it will be interesting to see how our system gets rebuilt. interesting times from now until next draft to see how things will be run. We won't really know until next summer how Shapiro will do things. Shapiro said that if he is presented with all the information the decision is already made. (Paraphrasing of course.) I hope Shapiro means metrics will make the decisions

2+ WAR, 200+ innings of 4 ERA for 12 million... bargain every day of the week.

risk management.... if Tulo is healthy for 4 years he'll be great to have around, but if he's not that salary could be crippling for the team. I could see them trading him this off season, but I doubt it's on the "to do" list.

to finally have a baseball first guy in charge could be a huge shift for the team, should be... he talked a lot about collective decisions. It will be very interesting to see, if any, what saber guys he brings into the fold to help with the date to make those decisions. no disrespect to AA but it will be very nice to here legit discussions on why player moves are made instead of just about AA's bowel discomfort.

how many of Donaldson's hits were direct game winners? he was a walk off wizard the first half.

this is true, but the content is classic comedy. might as well be this guy http://www.beliefnet.com/columnists/news/files/2011/10/end-is-near-3.jpg

lots of people from Southern Ontario as well. People who hate the humidity go to Phoenix. My Grandfather had an Airstream parked there for 20 years.

the time stamp should be for the time where you are.... your last post here says 07:55PM for me.

LaCava interim gm

will someone have a link??

only 7 weeks left until the shortest day of the year and then we turn the corner and head in the right direction. 109 days, 23 hours, until spring training. http://www.springtrainingcountdown.com/#sthash.tHsIBtPG.idBgnGZf.dpbs

William Henry Keeler (March 3, 1872 – January 1, 1923), nicknamed "Wee Willie", was a right fielder in Major League Baseball who played from 1892 to 1910, primarily for the Baltimore Orioles and Brooklyn Superbas in the National League, and the New York Highlanders in the American League. Keeler, one of the best hitters of his time, was elected into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Career Keeler's advice to hitters was "Keep your eye clear, and hit 'em where they ain't"—"they" being the opposing fielders. His .385 career batting average after the 1898 season is the highest average in history at season's end for a player with more than 1,000 hits (1,147 hits).[1] He compiled a .341 batting average over his career, currently 14th all time. He hit over .300 16 times in 19 seasons, and hit over .400 once. He twice led his league in batting average and three times in hits. Keeler had an amazing 206 singles during the 1898 season, a record that stood for more than 100 years until broken by Ichiro Suzuki. Additionally, Keeler had an on-base percentage of greater than .400 for seven straight seasons. When Keeler retired in 1910, he was third all-time in hits with 2,932, behind only Cap Anson and Jake Beckley.

I would argue with that and say that they review umpire in NY had a larger impact because this guys impact should have been removed from the equation because the review shows his gloves hitting onto front of the wall with the ball in it?

it really shouldn't have worked... but it definitely has worked very well for them.

the jays runs started in the mid 80s and they spent money like it was going out of style back then. Jays were on of the, if not the biggest, spending team back then.

seriously? he's had quite a few hits on balls he had no right getting to METS IMPLODE

at the end of the day the players do what they do... you can make all the right decisions and the players suck moose or you can go against all the numbers and the team still wins. xSHITHAPPENS is an undervalued stat.

Toronto has so many options vying for people's cash. Die hards will watch through painful times and go nuts during years like this where we fielded a top team, but there are a large number who are only there for the party. I don't think attendance will drop off too much if the Jays are in a run all the way to the end of the season, but if they are out of things in August the sept numbers will be really bad.

AA said he didn't like the idea of including Hoffman during the off season talks but I guess Reyes was so bad AA felt it was worth Hoffman to get rid of Reyes mid season.

his base stealing disappeared after he came to Toronto because Gibbons told him not to steal. mathematical metrics are useless if you don't put real life factors into them.

royals won't be able to slap hit their way out of this one.

carrying the extra weight of the long hair would wear on the innings Harvey should pitch, so I don't think his agent would allow it.
