  1. I don't agree with this but I do think Hurl hit the nail on the head. This trade was for a) optics and small salary dump. Giving guys like Tulo and Martin a chance to find a home with elite teams in the twilight of their careers can only be a good look. They did it with Granderson as well last year. From that perspective, fine. From purely a Blue Jays point of view, I'd much rather just have Martin play out his last year while mentoring Jansen and playing a super utility role but I understand that making the team look pro-player is important too. Brito and Sopko are just filler guys. Basically the next Joe Biagini and Ryan Goins.
  2. Well idk about you but I am looking forward to a 5% chance of Alcides Escobar in 5 years. If he's a lawnmower, he's one hell of a lawnmower.
  3. That elicited an audible chuckle.
  4. How about instead of asking people to block you, just stop posting like a moron? Seems like the easier path to take.
  5. Mr. Jigglypuff still coming through for me after all these years
  6. - said no one ever
  7. If he's a lottery ticket then literally every prospect in baseball under 21 is a lottery ticket. But hey, don't let me get in the way of your excitement for a 10 dollar jackpot.
  8. He's more like a coupon for 3 dollars off a rotisserie chicken
  9. Lol Brito isn't a lottery ticket, dummy
  10. I don't really understand why they didn't just non tender Travis.
  11. Uh oh, I've gone against the popular opinion! I must return to the herd!
  12. Sopko is a 24 year old in AA with middling results. If that's not an org guy, not sure what to tell you.
  13. Because Martin still has some use, we're still paying the vast majority of his remaining money and our reward is 2 org guys.
  14. Yeah, I'm confused too because I f***ing hate this trade
  15. I'm not against Timmies doing what they are doing. I'm against people who are dumb buying stuff for some misguided need for national pride.
  16. I don't see how adding financial stress and starving your f***ing players can possibly good for the farm system as a whole. It's amazing that some guys stick with it for so long.
  17. I can see that people upvoted it and a guy responded so maybe? I dunno. I don't have high hopes for Reddit. Why they'd prefer to bury this is beyond me. We aren't just promoting ourselves, we're promoting an overlooked guy that all of us actually believe in. He's instantly become one of my favourite prospects in the entire system.
  18. Yep, that part really made me contemplate if I wanted to keep supporting this league. It actually disgusts me. They pay Tulo 40 million to play for the Yankees while they have minor leaguers living off the scraps from the team spread. This has got to change. I'm not fan of virtue signaling or moral grandstanding but s*** like this is why a completely free market can't work. I absolutely loved the part where he talked about each affiliate having a dedicated dietician and then the players not being able to afford the things they were told to eat. Mind boggling. Also, they are required to attend extended Spring, but are not required to be paid. I don't want to invoke this term, but how the hell is this not slavery?
  19. So you really think I'm a misogynist, racist bigot. Any other labels you want to throw on the pile there?
  20. Lol what? How could him breaking his own jaw be a domestic violence joke?
  21. I use this: http://resanance.com
  22. I recommended Emily Waldon as well.
  23. You'll notice the same thing happened with my epic Osuna joke. Time for a blog post about how push to talk is the worst
  24. No, that was live. My soundboard is awesome now. The problem is that these dumb dumbs don't press push to talk when they laugh
  25. Believe me, I tried. You would not believe how many people record tv clips by taking a video of their TV. That was the only one I could find with good quality.
