  1. Another day at the office.
  2. If Kirk hits like Vladdy right away it will be a resounding success. A 105 wRC+ from an out-of-nowhere catching prospect that young who just skipped AA and AAA would be swell. Completely different scales for offensive success. Being said, I expect Kirk to be a well above average hitter. Anyway, aside from Vladdy most of the GB% leaders are small/fast guys so I don't think there's anything to fat correlating with groundballs.
  3. Crazy how none of us know anything and we continue to post here. The smartest BJMB poster is still a raging idiot
  4. Do your thing King. We need quotes
  5. f*** this weight loss talk. Play Fat.
  6. Has to be an innocent misstatement or a misquote. Probably meant the best stuff he's seen come through the affiliate he coaches.
  7. f***! Just found out my Porsche needs to go in for service.

    Kind of have to trust the system, I guess. Guys like OG and Davis showed big promise this year.

    Way too many ugly turnovers. That’s the difference. Have to think Gasol seems like five minute in the second half.
  10. Why isn’t Wilmer Font just soaking up the rest of this game? Nvm, he’s not there
  11. Complaining about your superstar dynasty asset getting hurt is the worst humble brag. Boo hoo. Try again next year with your generational asset.
  12. The option is effectively $9M and Chase Anderson is a quality veteran starter. He's a contact control guy and is evidently underrated by DIPS. His K/BB looks rock solid this year though. Bring him back!
  13. When did Chase Anderson become my boy? I mean, I love children so I'll take him but I'm just not sure of the origins here.
  14. Chase Anderson vs. Jake deGrom. Not sure it matters who is on the roster tonight!
  15. Sorry Tanner, all of your pitches have Covid. We'll send you to Dr. Andrews but we may need to cut your dick off.
  16. And some of those criticisms are f***ing stupid.
  17. No, it does not absolutely mean that. What it does mean is that anyone flippantly criticizing Montoyo's decisions on pitcher usage should pause and consider the possibility that they are the one who is outdated and wrong.
  18. Real baseball people know Jim is real baseball people
  19. I don't hate him, I'm just capable of separating the actual talent from the name and reputation. He's a back end starter talent at this point and you can't rely on him to eat innings. A horse poop option in disguise. Pass.
  20. Taijuan Walker had TJS over two years ago, Real Baseball Jim. He pitched post-surgery in 2019 and had a normal offseason. His stuff is not going to get any better.
  21. But is he? I don't think anybody is pitching an unhealthy amount of innings. The guys being asked to go most often are the utterly replaceable veterans like Dolis, Cole, Gooch, and Bass. It's not like Buntoyo is out there ruining any great young arms. The roster rules this year make it pretty hard to actually tax the pen.

    On his limited attempts he also seems to be getting to the rim and battling there better than Siakam. The rim protection by Boston just seems insanely good.

    It would seem like bad strategy at this point to put the ball in Siakam's hands and just expect him to break out and win the series. I think they should rely on him as little as possible - just enough that he continues to draw sufficient attention to free up the other players. Game on the line though, he's one of the last rotation players I want trying to score unless he's benefiting from a mismatch.
  24. The Blue Jays have the top bullpen in MLB by WAR and a top five bullpen by both ERA and FIP. 22nd in SP WAR, 22nd in FIP, and 14th in ERA. Let's acknowledge how f***ing stupid it is for anyone to criticize the team - Charlie or the front office - for going to the pen early. The only possible context to criticize would be if Ryu is getting yanked for a s***** reliever.
  25. It really isn't. There's an extra 0.5-0.8 mph on the average FB but all things considered it's not a dissimilar package. I think this is adequately displayed by their K/BB rates and DIPS.
