  1. right but I'm assuming you can just drive a bit inland and be snowboarding with a snow cone
  2. Meant to say Denver too. Maybe Seattle. Basically just need an MLB team and an NHL team and some snow and then most importantly not a dump like Detroit or St Louis
  3. I am too Canadian so if I had to move to the states I'd probably land in Boston or Chicago.
  4. The Rangers have actually received a handful of OVERPERFORMANCES and they still sucked. Who expected Martin Perez, Jon Gray, Brock Burke, Nate Lowe, Adolis Garcia, Jonah Heim, Matt Moore, Leody Taveras to all be pretty good to very good? Very little went horribly wrong for them this year. Semien was not great but not horrendous.
  5. Ross Atkins won today's game 1 WAR for Ross
  6. Ross Atkins is mid af Shapiro is good at most parts of his job but too washed on the baseball side to see it I mean these guys interviewed Montoyo and hired him. They looked at his ugly face and still hired him. And then let him stick around for as long as he did. C'mon..........
  7. Not like this Jim. Not like this.
  8. Hall could be an RP of his command wobbles too much but Grayson is an Ace if he stays healthy...
  9. Oof yeah he sucks lately Their bullpen does NOT look good anymore. Chapman and Loaisiga blow. Holmes is human. Green TJS. The guys they brought in aren't elite I mean Effross throws 91 and Trivino has a 5.10 ERA. It's not better than Toronto's pen anymore. Might even be worse
  10. LOL it certainly seems like it Out of nowhere they have an ostensibly relentless pitching pipeline, a couple of hitting stars in Rutschman, Mullins, Henderson, a few controllable supporting players, and most importantly some people in the front office with a keen eye for talent acquisition
  11. Yeah he doesn't just give up runs. When he's bad (this year) he's as bad as f***ing Kikuchi. And that is barely an exaggeration. All you can do is laugh!
  12. Love it when my team gives a 7 year extension to a good player and they turn into a pumpkin immediately
  13. That's a terrible looking four seamer. No ride at all.
  14. f*** Berrios, man. Dude has no breaking ball command at all.
  15. Can they void his extension????
  16. https://academic.oup.com/clinchem/article/50/2/456/5639639
  17. Arizona? I've never heard of that being a world class place to live. The weather is also not for everybody but I know ideal for certain people.
  18. Nah man. Not this season. In 2022 Kikuchi's good flashes are just where he looks like a cromulent back end SP.
  19. Nope, none of this. If you ran an analysis for team efficiency when allocating free agent expenditures and free agent level extensions, I am just guessing that Toronto would be middle of the pack at best. Probably not a top 10 team in this regard. It's fair to attribute that to bad luck if you want. But there were valid criticisms for these contracts IN CONTEXT. They would be: - Springer is an injury risk - Ryu is an injury risk - Kikuchi is just bad - Berrios is bland / milquetoast and lacks upside on the contract Of course Springer could beast later on and make his contract fine. Kikuchi could pay for his whole contract with one great season. Berrios is far from a lost cause.
  20. I'm not really complaining about it. I also don't think the Ryu contract was bad. It's just a fact that Toronto is not getting optimal or great results from their free agent expenditures and free agent level extensions.
  21. Yeah of course. You can only project with so much certainty. Any player can get hurt or perform at the lower end of their projections. And most free agents are past their physical prime. I believe projections get LESS certain in a players 30s; more variance.
  22. I don't think so. Toronto was hoping for a couple of elite years on the front end and unfortunately it does not look like they are going to get them. what BTS said
