  1. Fangraphs has turned The Board into something a bit organic. They move prospects around at intervals throughout the year.
  2. No, he's a total f***ing LARPer. It's all pretend. I mean he follows college ball in detail but his predictions suck, his analysis is worse than bad, and I doubt he has any connections. He had so many tweets hating on Alek Manoah a while ago. All deleted now, no doubt.

    A Michigan medical examiner says autopsy results have shown that Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Matiss Kivlenieks died of chest trauma after a mortar-style firework started to fire toward Kivlenieks and several others on July 4. Novi, Michigan, police had initially told The Associated Press that Kivlenieks was fleeing a hot tub with others after the fireworks malfunction and slipped and hit his head on concrete. He was 24. I think this is supposed to say head trauma but pretty crazy way to go. Running away from a firework and slipping out of a hot tub. Final Destination death.
  4. The Mets have many Blue Jays that flew away. Many fine feathers over there. Loupy, Pillar, McKinney, Sean Foley, Stro Show, Tyler Walker, Villar, Yennsy Diaz, Miguel Castro, and Brandon Drury who always played his tail off here. Also of course Thor on the IL. And their new shortstop Francisco Lindor is not hitting very well. I wonder if Toronto could get some heart and soul back by trading Bichette to the New York Mets? Loup + Castro + Foley fixes the entire bullpen in one move
  5. Right, but the claim was that the Yankees have been able to weasel out of bad contracts. The two examples are evidence of the contrary. They failed at weaseling out of Ellsbury's deal and I believe the end of A Rod's contract was just a negotiated solution between him and the team, or something like that.
  6. They had to pay Ellsbury I don't remember the specifics with A Rod but didn't he like retire into being a team advisor?
  7. I dunno, they are all concrete monstrosities but the Coliseum's habit of flooding with sewage seems to make it worse. The RC is ugly and old but at least it's not a bowl of s***. Maybe Dodger Stadium belongs on the list? I do not know.

  9. ?????? also, there are several joke stadiums in MLB
  10. He's probably just going to slip back from a 6-7 WAR pitcher to like a 5 WAR pitcher. I mean his numbers are still very good right now and he is on pace for 5+.
  11. Some of this is dumb. They were right to waive McGuire when they did, and now McGuire had earned this bump in playing time (while Jansen deserves his demotion). These are isolated events. Releasing Chatwood and Dolis makes no sense. The relievers replacing them would not be any better and both at least have a chance to right the ship and be useful. If health plus reinforcements bumps either of them off the team the great, but we are a long way from that happening. I don't think they traded Panik to take him away from Charlie. They traded for a reliever and what they hope is an eventual upgrade on Panik. That's all there is to it.
  12. Yeah, perhaps he was a big sticky stuff guy
  13. I don't think Yarbrough has traditional splits. He's a junker with lots of changeup stuff.
  14. I doubt it. Big offensive gap. I love what Espinal does though. He is becoming one of those fan favourite bench players who sticks around for years
  15. Kimbrel has a vesting option. You'd want to be pretty sure it will not vest if acquiring him.

    And as a Montreal fan, lol. Only a Bruins fan can really tea bag the Leafs and make it sting a bit, at this point.
  17. Those arms will cost A and B assets. The nice thing about rentals is that you can sometimes get good ones with C grade assets...

    Yeah it is. But getting swept and brutally outscored kind of ruins the party doesn't it

    Mate, Montreal has been a pretty sad organization for almost twenty years and when these playoffs are over them and Toronto will both just be losers.

  21. I was going to say are you sure? Then I looked at the stats and yup. Second best. His FIP is fine but it certainly does not feel like he has been even good this year
