  1. yeah i guess so cancel jack morris?
  2. I dunno. If he was trying to do an Elmer Fudd voice and didn't realize other people would think it sounded like he was doing a mockery of an Asian accent, then it's fine. I mean his explanation is accurate - he didn't intend to offend. If he was doing a mock Asian accent on purpose then yeah it's bad.
  3. Jim has presented the bull case on Biggio, connorp has presented the bear case. 2022 will tell. Maybe he's somewhere in the middle.
  4. Cost controlled players are great.... until guys like Gurriel and Biggio are taking up 25 man and 40 man roster spots while contributing 0.4 combined fWAR in 180 combined games. Then you wish you had packaged them up for a star. If the prospect pipeline works than you HAVE to be consolidating 40 man and pending 40 man players for upgrades.
  5. God dammit this 2021 team had the potential to be one of the all time entertaining / satisfying Blue Jays teams but my enjoyment of it has been utterly ruined by Montoyo and the relievers and the injuries.
  6. So just to get this in writing: Springer jumps into the outfield wall, appears to hurt his leg in a serious way. Does walk off the field. After the game Montoyo says publicly that it's just a sprained ankle and less serious than the team had feared. The next day Montoyo says he has a sprained knee actually and it being put in the IL and implies he may not return this season. Why is Charlie Montoyo even allowed to comment on player injuries?
  7. He was legitimately decent last year and it was reasonable this year to expect him to turn it around but at some point in the last, I dunno, month, the org needed to realize he's f***ed and cut bait. I don't know what they are even looking at anymore.
  8. Dolis has a BB/9 over 7.50 and his ERA and xFIP are both over 5. Why is he even on the team? lol Tommy Hatch is alive and in AAA. lmao what the f***
  9. It's actually similar to deals Cleveland has taken before. Remember, Clevinger for Austin Hedges, Josh Naylor, Cal Quantrill, Gabriel Arias, Owen Miller, and Joey Cantillo. Kluber for Delino DeSheilds and a reliever, Clase. The Kirk+Pearson package only looks flimsy in relation to the extremely frothy 2021 deadline deals. I do think the Kirk+Pearson package is fair. I could also see another team offering a better centrepiece though, of course.
  10. Not really. Those are some premium dudes, particularly Kirk and Pearson. I'm sure Cleveland covets Kirky.
  11. hahahahaha f*** this team is so bad with injury notes
  12. Yeah it is when the player you are bringing in as not expected to play every day. One more component is that they might want/prefer Smith to play every single day right now if they still see him as squarely within his developmental phase.
  13. Otto Lopez is already on the 40 and has been playing some CF this year. Helps if Springer needs time off. That's it, guys. Not a knock on Kevin Smith. Lopez' skill set is also more likely to immediately translate into something that is more than a replacement level player. Smith might have major MLB growing pains given his MiLB history.
  14. Cool. Very interested in seeing his exit velos and stuff. Hope he plays a bit
  15. Exactly. Also Espinal has been very good so there really has been no need to call him up. Valera and Biggio are better suited for the roster because of handedness, basically.
  16. Zero chance they are manipulating Kevin Smith's service time
  17. Dodgers would probably ask for Pearson
  18. Behind all of them I guess. He's not that attractive but certainly worth picking up if you have space.
  19. I should not be shocked that this is so hard for you to understand. The word you used violates rule #2 for the message board. It is considered a slur. You could have made the same point without using the sexist slur. It doesn't matter what you think about all women.
  20. No, BTS is referring to a deleted post someone else made about a country. Don't worry about it.
  21. You can call their character into question without using misogynistic language. Pretty simple.
  22. Your roster as a whole just stinks like inattention.
  23. Current playoff teams in order: True Cards (Monte Cristo) Rob Manfred (Turkey Bacon Club) War Pigs (WC) Burrito Boyz (WC) Beach Cowboys (WC) Ten Cent Beer (Cheesesteak) 25 Year Olds Welcome (WC) Five Year Plan (Reuben) Mike's Bikes, EZE, and Sticky Fingers are all very close to 25 Year Olds Welcome for the last WC spot. Ten Cent Beer Night is also not that far ahead of 25 Year Olds. Five Year Plan is 11th in the combined standings. Abom is only 3.5 games back of Five Year Plan. As you can see, the President's Trophy is a big deal this year because you get to face, by far, the worst team making the playoffs which will be that Reuben winner.
  24. Last two games have uhhhh crushed my enthusiasm to say the least.
