    Biggio is simply a Big Time player.

    It depends on the context For the rest of the regular season when/if they have to use Richards, Garcia, Green, and Cabrera - yeah that group is not pitching great. Since August 1st: Richards 12.75 ERA Cabrera 5.46 xFIP 4.70 FIP Green 7.36 ERA 4.34 xFIP Garcia has not been bad (3.45 ERA) but he is not a shut down reliever of course But if they can avoid those guys... like in a playoff game... they might be comfortable. Since August 1st: Romano 1.38 ERA Mayza 1.32 ERA Francis 1.31 ERA Swanson 1.38 ERA Hicks 2.50 ERA

    Two week finale so I'm not counting any chickens yet Several close categories
  4. Laika
    Probably just frustrated fans Machado is just getting old. But his offensive approach has always been a bit inconsistent cuz he doesn't walk a whole lot
  5. Laika
    You mean the yappy prick who threw a bat at someone on the field and somehow didn't get in trouble?
  6. Laika
    Houston vs KC would be like 65/35 though
  7. Laika
    Gotta stack all the lefties against Pivetta today
  8. Laika
    Yeah last two days have been crazy. 1/256 chance of Jays winning twice and all three of Houston Seattle Texas losing twice each, assuming every game is a coin flip. Obviously every game is not a coin flip though.
  9. Laika
    Not a chance I'm done with him. He's been a disaster for weeks.
  10. Laika
    Yeah they weren't sure if he would even return this year Probably came back on an accelerated timeline but isn't built up
  11. Laika
    Vlad kinda looks locked in for the first time in MONTHS... Bullpen was godly today. Romano especially.
  12. Laika
    Crazy game Davis Schneider got all of his regression to the mean out of the way in one day I guess
  13. Laika
    Sale suxxx. The Jays can't let him carve them today. That would be SO 2023 Jays.
  14. Laika
    89 wins probably doesn't get there. Might need two or three more.

    Apparently four doctors looked at it and said bone bruise (two picked by the Angels two by Rendon). Then Rendon found a fifth on his own who said fractured tibia. Angels probably feel f***ed over by him and are assuming the worst. That he wants to get paid to not play.
  16. Laika
    So everybody says they are in The problem is that has happened before If next year you have like, three transactions midseason I'll have to just force some changes
  17. Laika
    Berrios won us the game. Vlad was #2 star. He just did his job
  18. Laika
    Did you read the Rendon news too? A bit like the Manoah situation. Not as bad but

    The only thing more annoying than the Blue Jays playing poorly is all the narcissistic I-told-you-so cynics who now feel simultaneously vindicated yet still curiously indignant. You're not special because you were a fence sitter preseason and the team decided to perform at their 10th percentile projection.
  20. Laika
    At the end of the day we don't know enough about the process to make a decision I liked the offseason moves too. The Jays have projected well the last few years. Since I am not a moron, it's hard for me to get behind going scorched earth when so much of the failures the last few years just smell completely random. Like the crushing playoff losses, a lot of this is just random. Being the worst team in baseball on middle middle fastballs and with RISP for most of the year - I have trouble not attributing most of that to randomness. I dunno. What the YANKEES have done this year is a complete and total failure in team construction. For Toronto, it's not as obvious.
  21. Laika
    Teams for the most part are no longer making players go level by level Like if these guys are in A+ or AA and they are ticking the boxes for exit velo, pitch velo, barrel rate, etc. they are getting called up
  22. Laika
    I guess Game 1 it is 5-3 top 7th. Genesis Cabrera gives up 4 runs, blows the game. Game 2 it is 3-0 top 7th. Yimi Garcia gives up 2 runs, game over. Game 4 it is 4-2 top 8th. Trevor Richards gives up 5 runs, game over. It's not exactly "using Ubaldo Jimenez over prime Zack Britton in extra innings in the playoffs" but the same sort of logic, on a much much tinier scale, three times over.
  23. Laika
    Punchy tweet but Toronto lost most of those games like, immediately and thoroughly. I dunno. This is not the thing that bugs me about the series, lmao.
  24. Laika
    You kind of HAVE to let Shapiro and Atkins have more run at this The org shed a lot of institutional knowledge and talent when AA was here and then when there was the regime change to Shatkins... I bet the Canadian math nerds hired into the analytics dept under Shapiro are at least still here and happy. They probably feel heard and valuable. Front offices are so deep and complex these days. You can't just hire entire departments. It takes years and years (a generation?) to build a high end analytics dept or whatever.
  25. Laika
    Yeah Even if you present the correct information it won't have any effect if you: - have players who won't absorb or use it - don't have middle-men who can effectively communicate/translate it Several years ago the Rays took some f***ing nobody math nerd from their front office and put him in cleats for just this reason. It seems to have worked because he's still there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Erlichman BTW, this guy is probably still with the Blue Jays if AA's regime wasn't so f***ing dumb and ass-backwards back when he was poached by Tampa.
