  1. I don't think they are upset he accepted.
  2. This is what happens when you don't believe in the value of defense, and value cash too much
  3. He never really endured anything other than losing his job and Plantar Fascitis. He wasn't even cut.
  4. We'd give you BJMB comeback poster of the year, but you'd get banned during your acceptance speech
  5. probably the best example would have been McGehee. Cut like 5 times and then a year in Japan.
  6. Dmitri Young beat his girlfriend, took drugs and won in 07. Admittedly it was still cool to beat women back then
  7. It now surpasses Boxcar as my favourite Asian nickname
  8. Or they could be using the Wilson guys (traditional stats, advanced stats and Inside Edge???) http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/2015-wilson-defensive-player-of-the-year-awards-announced-on-mlb-network-300177114.html
  9. Diving catches in games one has actually seen + fielding % > great catches, amazing throws and great routes for a player they have seen 16 times max (most likely less than 9 as they didn't watch the Jays before the deadline Now to get KK his Platinum! http://rawlings.com/awards/platinum-glove/
  10. http://sabr.org/sdi/2015-final The SDI points which account for 25% of the Gold Gloves now. Surprised to see Crawford ahead of Simmons, maybe it's not that bad. Turns out the most egregious of the errors would be Kinsler losing to the midget and Odubel being omitted from the ballot (with Donaldson being another notable omission)
  11. Jose disagrees or maybe he just proposed
  12. Great little article about GM's being glorified assistants. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2015/11/10/general-manager-diminished-role-alex-anthopoulos/75547556/ Must say my favourite quote was
  13. flashback to 2010 when everyone used to bitch when three CF'ers would win awards...which is so much more stupid. There are 3 OF positions...the second best SS is always better than the best 2B, but they don't bump the 2B.
  14. As we've seen recently in other sports...video or photos going public can certainly sway the way it's treated. I went to the PrimeTime Sport Management seminar Monday and listened to Clark Griffith (son of the former Twins owner) talk about how teams should be able to suspend before a hearing, but then followed up with how they have to still follow legal process, and how that is tough to do. Also found it funny to hear Griffiths talk about these criminal acts and then find out he's recently been charged with indecent exposure.
  15. You know Cosby admitted to it right?
  16. no matter what the emoji is, is a death notice the place to use an emoji? Although I have asked for my entire gravestone to be in emojis
  17. that's kind of funny
  18. $50 - $100M since August 1st.
  19. you have Steve Simmons on your side...I'll take my side still. He took MLB licensed material on his side (wrong). He took ticket sales, and food sales into account, without considering that Aramark makes the majority on the concessions (and have that contract until 2018), also he didn't look at the additional expenses. Rogers got huge complaints about lines, and issues leaving the park. They had to bring in additional staff and hired 50 police for all the games after August 15th. They paid a million for the street closures too. They made money, and they will make good money next year...but it's not crazy numbers.
  20. Marlins announce Byung and AA on the same day
  21. we have control of that here. Seriously you people are like an abused puppy with their new owners. Don't worry guys...the nasty trolls aren't going to swat you with their online newspapers here.
  22. Funny Hamilton story, I'm working on a fundraiser called Sophie's Run II. In the first run in 2008 she ran from Milton to New York City. She had to get permission from about 300 towns and cities to run through. New York City closed the Holland Tunnel for her...Hamilton was the one place that didn't give her permission to run through (Probably would have killed her anyway). She had to detour south.
  23. See complete ignorance works too
