    Considering this game should have ended with a walk off balk in the 9th...I just want it to end now
  2. TheHurl
    Found an article on their biggest deals. http://www.letsgotribe.com/2014/12/16/7344883/cleveland-indians-free-agent-signing-history
  3. TheHurl
    Sorry meant free agent deals. Those deals just extended controllable years. Biggest free agent deals of his era are the Swisher and Bourn deals. Biggest one to a free agent pitcher was a two year deal to Wood in 2008.

    I just read what I said and realized what an ass I came off as. Not my intention at all, and I'm a GD fan. Just would love to see you and Breaking Blue stepping outside the traditional box of reviews (especially on executives).
  5. TheHurl
    work on that one a little more. Maybe a chart of his best and worst transactions. Discuss that he has never give a 5 year deal (which fits into the Jays ownership well). Getting an article out quickly is great...but keep working on it to get a really good article.
  6. TheHurl
    an upcoming Indians and Jays playoff matchup will be way more interesting. Yes I'm just saying this as I have 3 Indians AL and World Series bets.
  7. TheHurl
    Yankees said to have claimed Robertson as they heard the Jays would try and put together a deal.
  8. TheHurl
    Love the statement from Dolan "he always told us that there would be a time where the organization would be able to operate without him". That should be every CEO/President's goal.
  9. TheHurl
    I meant the offensive strikeout. But yes the Indians certainly built pitching staffs with the K in mind. They did break the all-time record last year and are on pace to shatter that this year. You have to figure that Shapiro is a fan of pitchers who strikeout batters.
  10. TheHurl
    Has that changed over the years though or has he always? You don't hear him talking about OPS as an analysis tool anymore but is that because he now realizes it's not an advanced stat or just that a better team has changed the questions he's being asked. Learning from your mistakes is a good skill, hope for Jays fans that AA has. Better news for Jays fans is that Beeston won't be around to help repeat them. Honestly I think Shapiro and AA are a good combo...really only egos clashing would be a negative now. Good thing AA doesn't have one (sarcasm font for those that missed it)
  11. TheHurl
    so has Dayton Moore. It is probably much more of an old school thought process of pitching and defense wins championships. AA has gone with power and defense and hope the pitching holds up. Both are fair building methods but it doesn't mean that they are looking at everything from an analytic view. I think AA's biggest improvement is that he's stopped completely ignoring the strikeout. This is the best team K-Rate they have put out there with it being the second best slugging percentage. Coupling that with better team defense is what has provided this team with improvements.

    Anyone who doesn't like cheese should probably be hung up by their testicles

    My stance on AA probably won't change. I am okay being proven wrong about his ability to put out a sustainable winner... as amazing as it is to believe I have been wrong before. I like the on field product for the Jays in the way I liked the late 90's Yankees... It is more awe and respect (before anyone gets on me i don't think this is a dynasty team). As for likeable... I like the on field product and Stroman

    Everyone enjoys baseball for different reasons. Building of a team and the way they go about it is one of the most interesting things in baseball. I watched Donaldson, Tulo and Martin all last year too (well more so the year before that). Seeing what someone with an analytic point of view can do with this Jays team is what guys like BTS and I have been wanting to see (also someone with a long term point of view). I hated the Beest, but my hatred for AA grew, I won't go back until he is gone (even though I admit he did well this year) but BTS has openly said that if the Jays started to do things differently he'd cheer for this team. Shapiro would be that step.
  15. TheHurl
    Nor do I. But you caused the Jays to give up 2 runs that inning. You have to learn to harness your powers...they go beyond this board.
  16. TheHurl
    What was I supposed to contact Admin about?
  17. TheHurl
    Maybe you'll stand for the wave today...Suit!
  18. TheHurl
    All anyone ever wanted was meaningful games in September...until next month when it's World Series or rage.
  19. TheHurl
    pretty funny comment at the end considering they have corporate owners. However, the Rockies ownership is awful so I understand your sentiment. Personally I'm a fan of a team that has a payroll a full $27M below your Rockies, but that is what I love about them too.
  20. TheHurl
    I saw TRM at the game...he didn't stand up during the wave and the Jays gave up a two run shot to Gose. He has some pretty unreal powers.
  21. TheHurl
    **Colombian** And I wouldn't have said so before the Pan Am's, but now I have to agree. Does anyone else find it odd that the Dirty Mexican that would prostitute his Mom just to feed his goat wants harmony...he's up to something. Miss you too Bastardo!
  22. TheHurl
    that's right, nothing but pleasure in BBBB's butt
  23. TheHurl
    consider yourself teabagged.
  24. TheHurl
    The Fantasy guys might be a little hated on the main board...but even I'm undefeated in starting GDT's, add in Dinger and TRM's records every casual should be sucking our online cocks
  25. TheHurl
    There are about 10 people in that pic that should be a lot more embarrassed about their outfit.
