    lmao Taylor Walls, Marcell Ozuna also come to mind. Jesse Winker, Joey Gallo. Most good teams have one position player just tanking it

    100% but outshooting teams like the Coyotes and Habs and still losing is still f***ing hilarious there is also some part of it that is bad goaltending and not bad luck but way too early to say that

    It is "fine". They are losing one player who does not matter from a decent but unspectacular bullpen. It could be improved. Surely they will try to make it better.
  5. Laika
    I wouldn’t equate “better than Boston” with being necessarily bullish on the bullpen

    Galaxy Brain move = trade ALL of the catchers and then sign some boring but competent catching schmuck from the free agency pile. Building around catching is dumb, I hate catchers.

    Now I think. He kind of jumped the shark. He needs to win this year or next... or maybe he has a 3 year window I don't know but he needs to win.

    I think Moreno's value is > or = Kirk even if on paper Kirk should be worth more because the game is not played on paper. it is played by human bodies. and kirk's is revolting.

    reads like something an Alejandro Kirk hater would say

    Slim chance in 2023. Almost none. You would have to make some aggressive trades for veterans

    So $16.66 per month looks like the TSN thing is the same. $33.32 per month for live sports... seems fine. I currently pay $72 for a Bell cable package. Literally don't do anything with it other than watch sports + the odd time watch CBC or whatever
  14. Laika
    How much would Sportsnet Now + the equivalent TSN service be for a full year? I am thinking about cutting cable entirely because all I watch is sports and streaming services.

    Not excusing the Adams thing specifically but just making a general comment. This also has to do with the Draymond Green punch I guess. The industry expects these players to perform, fight, bleed like literal warriors for our entertainment... it's got to be hard on a human level to just turn that switch off when the game is over. And sometimes your body gets conditioned or hard-wired to react certain ways. Like with Adams, how many times a game, or week, does he have an impulse push reaction scaled to a 230 lb opponent when someone is suddenly in his proximity?

    It’s temporary I think they switch the default view back when the playoffs are over

    Like, imagine if they move the seats in this much. Look how much foul territory goes away.
  18. Laika
    Yeah it's surprising. It must be that every other stadium other than the Coliseum have the seats on the infield a bit closer to home. This is the best image I could find of them all http://thumbnails.visually.netdna-cdn.com/baseballs-many-physical-dimensions_53344ca673751.png It's the fact that the Rogers Centre has this circular cutout on the infield. Nowhere else has that other than the Coliseum!

    It's amazing really. Looking to the rivals, since 1970 the Habs have had Dryden, Roy, Price, and even Jose Theodore who at his peak was at least better than any goalie Toronto has found or made in 51+ years. Imagine if the Maple Leafs had a goalie like those guys for 5 to 10 years.

    I glanced at CuJo's season to season save % and nothing popped but maybe some of those years with Toronto ranked well if league offense was high. But even if he WAS rock solid it would only have been for a 2 year period. I honestly think you have to go allllllllllllllll the way back to a 42 year old Jacques Plante in 1970-71 to find the last Leafs goalie who was truly elite. 51 years and counting. All of the decent ones between then and now have been like top 10 guys at best.
  21. Laika
    Sure but the Cards would not do that They'd definitely ask for Moreno and maybe be willing to do Kirk. Gross.

    The Leafs goaltending history is hilarious. Seriously, who are the last truly good goalies they have even had? Do you have to go back to the 70s, 60s? Please don't say CuJo or Potvin lmao.
  23. Laika
    kinda gross

    I think dimensions are undecided but it sounds like they do not want it to play much differently. It will of course be less uniform, so some random bounces. And the total amount of foul territory will decrease once the infield part is done. That might have a big impact but who knows. "The club’s analytics department has spent time modelling how the changes could impact the results of balls in play, searching for an alignment that will not dramatically alter Rogers Centre’s competitive nature. But it is expected that the unique angling and heights of the new outfield fences could lead to some tricky bounces for outfielders to assess. An interesting wrinkle is that Rogers Centre’s foul territory — currently the second-largest in MLB — will be decreased to bring fans closer to gameplay during subsequent phases of the renovation. That won’t only have a positive impact on fan experience — it will likely have a positive impact on runs scored. Fewer foul balls will result in outs, extending plate appearances and giving hitters extra chances to put pitches in play."

    You would have to use long career splits or regressed splits if these are 2022 splits they don't mean much Toronto would certainly use regressed platoon splits
