    At this rate, they should be packing their bags for Portland... it's over.

    I can't recommend this approach enough. It's not even costly to do either because other owners are willing to take those chances and don't regard durability as a super-valuable thing. Your stable of Felix, Kuma, Lester is fantastic.

    Yeah I would have said the same thing too. It seems like there's a fine line with older players' trade value. If a player is elite and dependable enough people will almost regard his age as immaterial. Seems like Lee has recently dipped below that level. Shields is my favourite type of fantasy pitcher. An utter ton of above-average innings year after year from a big guy with smooth mechanics and a deep arsenal. Interestingly, his velocity has increased almost every single year of his career (dip from 2010-2011). I love watching him pitch too. This makes sense for you though, Dinger, because the number of elite innings coming from your rotation made Shields' steady arm a little wasted. Cliff Lee can improve your staff's ratios.

    Was the trade Shields straight up for Lee or is there more? Edit: Answered, thanks. I think I prefer Shields as an overall asset. It's slight though.

    He'll probably just clear waivers, go to Buffalo and leave the Blue Jays on the hook for the same 2014 number as before. I don't think this is some creative payroll thing. If there were any interested teams he would already be pitching for another team.

    Santos is still filthy... and will absolutely own the league down the stretch for another team. The Blue Jays will pay for this.

    OUTRAGE!!! cf

    Buehrle struck out Beltre swinging on an 84 mph fastball right down the pipe. I don't know how he does it.

    If Lewis is right you may as well pack the whole sport up.

    This may be the stupidest thing I've ever heard a player say re: unwritten rules. Just colossally moronic on so many levels. Good Lord.

    I like how the bunt for a base hit can be interpreted as both an entirely selfish (basically simply for average) or entirely selfless (don't go for the long ball, get on base for the team to drive you in) play.

    "I told [Rasmus] I didn't appreciate it," Lewis said. "You're up by two runs with two outs and you lay down a bunt. I don't think that's the way the game should be played." When pressed further on what the problem with Rasmus' bunt was, Lewis insinuated that the outfielder put himself before his team. "I felt like you have a situation where there is two outs, you're up two runs, you have gotten a hit earlier in the game off me, we are playing the shift, and he laid down a bunt basically simply for average," Lewis said. --------------------------------------------------------- Colby Lewis doesn't understand the most basic attributes of baseball. Huh. There are enormous incentives to winning, getting on base is what a hitter is paid to do, a two-run game in the fifth is a close game, etc.
  13. NorthOf49
    I know! But if he falls apart in the second half, he'll still win because of the dinger total he's built up.
  14. NorthOf49
    That's now how "begs the question" is supposed to be used... you mean "raises the question."
  15. NorthOf49
    People like dingers! Abreu will win ROY.
  16. NorthOf49
    Reyes didn't even move? Huh.
  17. NorthOf49
    Not McGowan... Santos! Bring him in Gibby.
  18. NorthOf49
    Now they can safely take Stroman out if they want to.
  19. NorthOf49
    WTF just happened?! We don't know if Reyes would have doubled had Gose been safe though.
  20. NorthOf49
    Where does Robert Coello's forkball rank?
  21. NorthOf49
    Stroman is so freaking good. It's unconscionable. FIP coefficients: 7.89 / 1.97 / 0.76. Each one is great. A real gem.
  22. NorthOf49
    3-8 w/ RISP though. The problem is just that a lot of hits have come with two outs and they have the DP.
  23. NorthOf49
    That pitch was some wicked arm-side run on it. Stro is so so good.
  24. NorthOf49
    They better not pull Stro early today or put McGowan into a high-leverage situation. Our game to win.
  25. NorthOf49
    Wait... Dan Johnson swung?
