    Terrible PA by Vlad, tough luck on Kirk's attempt (just not deep enough and hit to the wrong guy) and then a bad strike 3 call.

    Who said Kirk can't lose weight?

    I know you are just pounding your iPad with random words so people respond, and trolling Grant, but I'm going to respond in a straightforward way anyway. There are five teams within 3.5 games of each other and they have 20 to 24 games left. It's already a multi-team race! lol. Even if Seattle sucks compared to the other four (they do) they could get in based on chance alone. And Boston could just outscore their opponents, win a bunch of 9-8 games, and get in.

    It's looking like all of Boston, New York, Toronto, Seattle, and Oakland will be in a dogfight for the wild card spots. This might make it unlikely that any team gets the benefit of lining up their Ace for the WC game. Something like Manoah vs. Pivetta or Taillon might be more likely than Ace vs. Ace.

    Wow Chapman is f***ing awful now. He has lost so much velo

    Buck despises Gary Sanchez and I love it

    Good decision by chuckles!!!

    That's how he deals with pressure obviously - by being outgoing. It's not that uncommon. Not everybody needs to turn into a statue of Roy Halladay when they are pitching.

    He's not ready or he's incapable of being a starter. I think he'll be an elite reliever. He has almost no idea where it is going though. Reminds me of Betances, sort of.

    The threat of Dickerson's pure hitting ability made Leutge throw that wild pitch.

    Ray reminds me a bit of Zack Wheeler for some reason. In my head Wheeler was up and down and injury prone with the Mets but came into his own his final year before free agency at 29 years old. The Phillies paid him hugely and bigly and took a bit of a gamble on the fact that 2019 = a sign of things to come and a demonstration of true evolution and it has paid off so far, he has been even better than Philadelphia probably expected. $120 million for Robert Ray?

    It's so bad that it's good, though.

    lol I will never forget your posts. Unforgiveable. Your reputation is gone, tarnished, nada.

    Martinez only has 27 games in A+ and mediocre numbers there. Decent chance he starts 2022 at that level while Groshans is in AAA. I don't see how Orelvis knocks first unless your point is just that Groshans will never be the one who knocks in which case sure lol.
  19. Laika
    You might want to start him if you plan on punting all of your pitching ratios anyway

    A piece of crap who is about to get retired
  21. Laika
    There is a start active players button. It's green!

    Mannnn I traded pOhtani for Victor Robles in the DDL to make the transition happen.
  23. Laika
    Uhhh these priorities are in the wrong order, Sweeny.
  24. Laika
    The extra roster spot is not trivial. It's a big advantage. Now the Angels are probably not using that advantage much...
  25. Laika
    I know it's cheating but I don't think you need to prefer one to the other, unless the budget makes you pick one which I don't think would necessarily be true. You predetermine how much you are willing to pay both. You start with reasonable aggressive offers to both to see if you can tempt them to ignore free agency (unlikely) then you stay engaged and open minded while only moving your maximum offer up if the overall market has moved up. And you court replacements simultaneously. Now if I HAD to pick only one it would be Ray. I think Semien is a better guy to have long term objectively because of injury risk but Ray is more crucial to Toronto if you look at the next couple or years. I think the team could get by without Semien but I think if they don't have Robbie Ray or someone as good as him the rotation looks like s***.
