not everyone can do the math, but they should all be able to look up their own stats and the stats of opponents. all the information is out there and free...
I am even more amazed at why team's dont have numbers guys in control of their scouting. there are still way too many "gut feeling" dinosaurs in the scouting depts.
many players forget to keep pushing once they get their big money deal. They've arrived at their goal of money and quit. that's why there are so few who have long successful careers. The best players have a burning desire to never quit trying to be the best and those few are the ones most of us love to watch play.
I find it ridiculous that a GM lets his players dictate who is on the team. I also find it seriously stupid that Dickey doesn't understand that his pet monkey is holding the team back
the manager is NOT one of the big problems facing the jays this off season.
the biggest problems are a little higher up the food chain. one has really ugly hair and smokes cigars and the other smokes giros like nobodies business.
I never should have been in it... lol didn't have a pick right all second half. one first round playoffs, one second round and one in the last round.
I hope the team makes it more fun next year. this was a blast in may. not so much in august.
you cant blame Gibbons for not slotting players, that he didn't have on his roster, into the lineup. Gibbons didn't lose many games this year. A manager's influence is not that big. it's certainly not a 10 win detriment to the team.
I wouldn't mind that too much. that would be 1.5M for 3 outfielders. lol it would make us a little light on the offense though.
I think Lind is a good platoon guy to bring back.
Somehow they need to convince Dickey to get rid of his pet.
amazing that it took Melky getting injured to finally get Jose hitting second and Ed 3rd. made the lineup a lot better.
anyone have a running count on how many times the jays have got back into a game or taken the lead only to s*** the bed the next half inning this year?
