  1. Wilmer Font having a nickname of FONKY is one hell of a waste. At least Reese McGuire gets it!
  2. Even I've been trying to trade for non-mediocre starters. Me!
  3. Pillar is someone who derived all of his value from his defense, and that doesn't traditionally age very well. We can debate the merits of extending Grichuk, but extending Pillar would not have been wise.
  4. I'm kind of thinking Polish or German.
  5. Meh, good pitcher, the 3rd baseman was well back. I don't mind it in that situation. He was clearly bunting for a base hit, and worse case you still move the runner. If he placed it better, he would have easily been safe.
  6. The Rays really work their pen, and they have a good one, so I think the idea is to make sure they can't match up as effectively. I would argue that Vladdy and Gurriel should be swapped in this instance though.
  7. Not until the Jays sign Harvey and he gas cans his way out of my heart.
  8. Agreed. We basically have a few bullpen days right now that I'd much rather see actual starters take. Matt Harvey is still out there. Who knows, maybe something clicks and they decide they want to stay? We need some sort of bodies to bridge the gap.
  9. By the way, I'm not trying to discredit the rest of your rant about relievers coming in too early. It's actually really interesting. This year, starters are actually putting up a better xFIP than relievers. It feels like maybe the extra innings the pen has to cover is causing "shuttle" pitchers with worse stuff than the starter to get more meaningful innings.
  10. I'm pretty sure they weren't worried about the risk a blister might form, they were worried about the one that WAS forming. They want him to be able to make his next start.
  11. Steamer is projecting Vladdy at 130 wRC+ for the rest of the season, with a .298/.366/.506 line and 1.2 WAR. Yes please!
  12. He had a 101 wRC+ in AAA before being called up. I would have expected his projection this year to be less. One week is nothing, either way.
  13. It's weird seeing Oakland on the other end of that list.
  14. It's nice to see him finally pulling the ball. Now I hope he doesn't try to pull outside pitches when pitchers adjust.
  15. I know Fangraphs is meh on Gurriel's defense (probably because of how deep he's playing), but it certainly passes the eye test.
  16. Fortunately, so does the O's pen.
  17. Well, yeah, but not easily if they have to get all the way across. I'm just as happy to see our guys going in there feet first anyway, even if it means the odd out.
  18. Probably not so bad now that catchers can't block it, but I still don't want to see it.
  19. Apparently there might have been a blister.
  20. I have absolutely no idea if he's out or safe.
  21. I wouldn't be shocked to see them extend Smoak.
  22. Only because they refuse to learn how. If you can swing and put the bat on the ball, you can certainly learn to do the same thing without the swing.
  23. More people need to do what Mejia just did ... lay down an easy bunt against the shift for a free base hit.
