How many times have you gotten wasted and LOST your wallet at the bar or in a fight? Is it a zero-sum game?
-
It almost feels like both teams (Jays and O's) are being played by his agent. He finally decides on a 1 year deal, so spew out a bunch of nonsense to target two teams with a need and cash to set the market, then choose a team with a good ballpark to pitch in once the bar is raised (*cough* Seattle).
-
Dunno, maybe. Multiple places seeming to indicate that it's not too serious (although initial diagnosis aren't all that accurate).
-
Initial diagnosis is a mild forearm strain.
-
Gameday pitch counts aren't accurate for spring training (unless they've changed something recently). An out is 1 strike, a strikeout is 3 strikes, and a walk is 4 balls. I think the first pitch is also counted, along with plays (WP, SB, etc). Other than that, nothing counts.
-
I see your point. Yeah, the old formulas may be tweakable for previous seasons, but the flaws will remain (just may not dominate as much).
-
Just the standard pre-requisite TJS

Well, the numbers produced by MLBAM will be used to create the data sets used in the new metrics, so it's not really about testing them. What could be a REALLY interesting side note is to also see some of the improvement in offensive stats and predictions the new data can produce, such as a proper speed index which could possibly be used to more accurately predict aging. We could also see BABIP be eliminated (and it's about time).
-
No, they're on the cusp of actually becoming pretty damn accurate. It'll be interesting to see how (or if) things change for some guys like Hech where what we see doesn't match with the numbers.
-
I think I remember him looking horrible last spring too early on (not sure what the results were). Guess he just takes a little while to lock in.
-
As I said, Stroman was apparently in the 170ish innings range last year between the minors, afl, and extended spring. He should be fine for over 200 this year. I do NOT want to see both Happ AND Rogers in the rotation to start the year! I'd rather see neither.
-
Apparently the Mariners now want to deal for Viciedo. Someone needs to tell them that acquiring boatloads of players who can't play defense is NOT exploiting a market inefficiency!
-
If people are running anything other than Chrome or Firefox, they need to switch imo.
-
There seems to be a big effort from the players to really support Romero this spring. Hopefully it works.
-
It's interesting from Lind. AA has said neither pitcher will be on an innings count, although Hutch probably should be. Stroman last year apparently had the equivalent of around 170ish so should be fine. Regarding Romero, if he can throw strikes he should absolutely be in the rotation - but he has to throw strikes.
-
People might find this rather amusing: http://grantland.com/features/the-nhls-top-secret-trade-request-application/

Yes, I was watching the game. He made some massive saves later though at least.

ESPN: Jose Reyes ready to take flight

I'm sure they were looking, but I don't see it happening. What the hell would they even offer that might fit for us going forward (unless it was Gardner)? -
KBO strikeout leader Radhames Liz signs with Jays
Abomination replied to jaysfan2014's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Looks like low BB will be a key for him. He really struggled with that in the minors and briefly in the majors. Hopefully he has that sorted out. -

How well did he pitch in the DWL? -
Hard to complain about a 1 year deal. I don't particularly want him overall, but I'd easily take him over Happ.
-
We can throw in Romero
-
The Mariners are probably the best fit for him by far.
-
Morales is a 1 - 1.5 WAR player who turned down the QO at 14M. He's probably worth under 10M (although teams tend to pay a little more for power). Drew and Santana both seem to have some medicals that have scared everyone away. I mean heck, even the Yankees with massive holes on the infield won't touch Drew.
