    lmao make this a t shirt venn diagram would work nice

    It's not binary. Obviously we don't know but I feel like it's reasonable to think the players tired of his demeanor, just like more hard nosed fans despised his demeanor. It's more like politician approval rating. I bet his player approval rating is lower now than ever.

    Montoyo never made sense We was simultaneously NOT old school but also NOT progressive I would assume he lost the players because of the former and lost the front office because of the latter Like I bet the FO over time became slowly frustrated with his inability to just use all the information they were giving him. Probably a multi-year, painful education process and they just got sick of trying. He did improve slightly on the tactical side like we aren't seeing the really stupid bunts anymore.

    Yeah just a cheaper upgrade on Tapia

    Paul Sewald saved both games of the doubleheader today. That's pretty cool. Has to be super rare.

    He's not starting that much anymore. I think 3 of the last 6 for example. Since everyone is healthy. It's not a multiple win swing either. By projections it would only be about one win. A high leverage reliever might beat that difference and perhaps by a lot depending on your reliever evaluation politics

    It's moot because he's not Vax but I just don't see Toronto adding a bat tbh If they spend I think it's on pitching only and they might do something like take on a heavier contract for a closer type

    Zimmer is a defensive replacement and pinch runner, he almost never starts. Tapia starts like 50% of the games. When one of the three starting outfielders needs a day off or a DH day. Benintendi on the team = one of Springer, Gurriel, Hernandez, Benintendi, Kirk, or Jansen is ALWAYS sitting. It's not really an efficient use or resources. Kind of awkward.
  9. Laika
    Benintendi is an outfielder and Toronto has three starting outfielders AND the DH spot occupied most of the time Benintendi is not a perfect fit

    Yeah I don't think I've ever seen a player say not to challenge at all. But I would not be able to remember.
  16. Laika
    what do you mean players are wrong about this all the time how many times have you seen Vladdy point to the dugout for a review but he was wrong? it happens multiple times a week
  17. Laika
    Right and the players are wrong about this stuff all the time.
  18. Laika
    yeah, doing what? can't imagine him ever getting another MLB managing gig unless it's to guide the Rockies through a 5 year rebuild or something
  19. Laika
    They probably made up their mind to do this a few days ago you would think? maybe

    Laika replied to GD's topic in Other Sports

    Murray and Samsanov is a really nice tandem. You guys may not have liked the trade but Murray looks a lot better in a 1A 1B tandem right? Like if you only need him for 41 games he could be awesome. Then in the playoffs you play the healthy or hot one.

    omfg it happened we did it

    His average release point was higher than his season average, but it's not like it was his max this season or anything. I don't really see anything popping off the page, just a bunch of tiny improvements. Release point was not super low, his zone% was solid... the only things jumping up that I see were chase rates and in zone whiff rates but those are results not causes. I agree with the above poster. Tiny improvements + a swing happy opponent. I actually thought he hung several curveballs early on and was perhaps lucky not to give up a homer.

    In defense of the coaching staff Vlad is stupid
  24. Laika
    Unwatchable team remains unwatchable
