  1. 3 on base, 1 at bat, 1 on deck?
  2. Complains about young Jays players striking out. Proceeds to show clips with players rung up on balls outside the zone. Yup, clearly they're doing something wrong.
  3. Agree 100%. Zaun had a handful of really good segments too, talking about and demonstrating game fundamentals. We need a lot more of that kind of thing. I've always thought Rogers would be smart to do a series of training videos in the offseason with some of the players and coaches that kids can watch and learn from. It would be really fantastic PR, and help a lot of kids in the process.
  4. Neither does Drury's.
  5. And Happ has been one of the worst regular starting pitchers this year. What's your point?
  6. This is a very important point.
  7. He's playing through a sore foot. I'm not too worried about the defense. I wouldn't give him stupid money, but he seems like someone who will almost certainly return surplus value otherwise.
  8. Corey Dickerson seems like a good buy-low target. I'd love Ozuna though. We really do need to land a big starter.
  9. If I'm the Jays, Fisher is getting an eye exam after the season.
  10. Man, that is one empty stadium. The crowd can probably hear Charlie being interviewed in the dugout.
  11. Yeah, I'm kind of liking Pena.
  12. He was safe.
  13. Lol, great slide, horrible decision by Vladdy. Also, what the f*** was Pham doing?
  14. Meh, against Tampa you have to keep things fairly balanced in terms of lefties/righties or they'll bullpen you to death. I think Fisher should be 7th pushing the others down, but other than that I really don't have an issue with it. Smoak is a heavy pull hitter who hits into the shift a lot, Tampa shifts a lot, and Pruitt is a ground ball machine. Not the best matchup in the world for Smoak.
  15. I'd be fine with that.
  16. Yeah, I agree with this, especially if we're looking at 12 - 16 managers.
  17. I don't think they'll cut Font, although you certainly never know. We can control him for 4 more years I believe, and since he's joined us he's really been excellent. 26.1 innings, 2.39 BB/9, 12.65 K/9, 3.21 xFIP
  18. Yeah, the off days change the game, which sucks. I think they're built in to accommodate weather though.
  19. I think if they're going to do it, they need to do so in the next few starts. I think it would be pretty stupid to suddenly upend a starter's routine right when it matters most.
  20. Cleveland probably won't do it with Clevinger or Bieber or Kluber (if he returns). Carrasco, maybe. Milwaukee isn't really using it so far. It would be pretty tempting to stick Hader out there for once through the order though. Oakland isn't using it much, but they probably should be. Minnesota isn't using it much. I'm not sure if they'd do it for Berrios or Odorizzi. Gibson could possibly benefit from it. Cards aren't using it. I can't see them doing so for Flaherty or Mikolas. Wainwright could probably benefit from it a lot at this stage in his career.
  21. Hard to say. Teams will already cut down the staffs to probably 3 starters, and most postseason teams may have a few starters better than the relievers they could bring in. If Tampa gets in, we'll see it for sure.
  22. I've been saying for a long time that they need to shorten the season to 150 games and expand the playoffs by a full round (in place of the wildcard). That really does take care of a good portion of the issues.
  23. Retooling a swing is much more difficult (for most batters at least) than for a pitcher to change the grip on a pitch, or a location they're throwing to. Many who are having success now will be unwilling to change until they're forced to. That will take time and failure. I could be wrong of course, and certainly if all teams move to that approach we could see the process happen more quickly as a result, but I would think that's pretty close to being accurate. A big wildcard in all this could be the ball. MLB is going to have a hell of a time explaining the AAA numbers. If they go back to a *proper* ball, hitters may have to adjust much quicker.
  24. Apparently attendance is down a bit (don't know about TV viewership), and revenue is up a bit.
  25. Heh, I was just watching a YouTube clip with Jonathan Frakes at a convention in Toronto a few days ago (I was curious about the new Picard series), and he mentioned Vladdy and Bichette! Frakes is awesome, btw!
