  1. Sale gave up a first inning 2 run shot to Daniel f***ing Robertson
  2. not on board with it. Just trying to make sense of it. The 10 to 20 runs would also be a sacrifice every game. I looked it up. It's 15 to 20 runs per 100 sacrifices.
  3. Wouldn't be concerned. It's mostly just some HR issues right now.
  4. so many assets for him to move, which aren't contributing to this team though. Maybe panic isn't the word but learning more about advanced stats isn't going to change that trades (and extensions) are his M.O. I would bet that we see something in the next month. The entire NL is going to hover around .500 all year so I think he'll feel some desire to make a splash
  5. It's surprising to see in this era but we've heard all about how tough it is to get the players to buy in to things like launch angle and spin rate. I do believe that sacrificing once every game will cost you approximately 10-20 runs a year (this is by memory someone much smarter than me could probably do the math). It might be a situation where you give up some runs to win over the team and get 100% buy in by playing it the way they were taught.
  6. All those close wins for Atlanta last year are breaking the other way so far this year. Two pinch hit walks to get to Blackmon who hit a game winning double. AA panic move or no?
  7. If I had a nickel for every time I said this to someone I loved...
  8. I just placed a bet on "oakland will score in the 6th" figuring the Jays would bring PFB back out.
  9. advanced systems. Not sabermetrics. Very different. In the end sacrificing and not sacrificing is about the difference between 10 runs a year only. It's probably a "don't care" about it if there are other things going on properly.
  10. you know that is the real reason there is a rule now. Utley was the scapegoat but it happened just after the NFL was successfully sued. The two positions which are most prone to concussions are 2B and Catcher
  11. Never an issue...until Ryan Freel put a gun to his head and was found to have CTE

  13. Typical "look at me" Stroman...hogging the spotlight on Vladdy's day. Worst teammate ever
  14. My preference would be for him to bat 4th so that he can lead off the 2nd and get a big standing O, but he can still get a standing O with 1 out in the 2nd.
  15. Look at the number of people in the stands for BP. I wonder what Vlad has to do to actually live up to the hype.
  16. Trout batted 9th in his debut, Acuna 6, Soto pinch hit. We need an "egregious overreaction" thread.
  17. So what is the proper Vlad Debut feast? We know it must be plentiful, but what specifically. My thoughts are Poutine to represent that his birth city. Pollo Guisado cause it's my favourite Dominican dish Tostones. There has to be something fried, and every meal has plantains. Anything else?
  18. although it did start a Jaysblue Spanky feud on the board which didn't exist previous to the meet up.
  19. Gatito is a small cat or kitten. So his story checks out. What is the Mexican suffix for Fat?
