  1. I think people complaining about MLB not properly marketing Mike Trout is a heck of a lot more annoying at this point than the fact that Mike Trout is not an international superstar.
  2. Good to know the Giants can have fun despite being terrible
  3. Jim, I can count. His career professional walks went up by almost 20% in one game lmao. It's crazy!
  4. Chris Paddack today: 3.2 IP, 4 BB. Chris Paddack's entire MiLB career: 177.2 IP, 20 BB. Looks like the most walks he had ever given up in a pro game before today was 2. He's got the yips!
  5. Always possible the players decided to bunt themselves. I don’t think that managing to efficiently win games is the top priority right now
  6. Yeah it must mean something. I'm thinking that is what his SF OPS will be.
  7. I had a dream that Pillar got arrested with 581 grams of cocaine in San Francisco. Then he had an interview where he cried and was really sorry for letting down the Giants.
  8. Grichuk. Acquisitions like McKinney, Hernandez, Drury, Paulino, Merryweather, Thornton, Perez, Espinal, Spanberger, etc. need to be given a few years before they can be judged. Bautista was mediocre his first ~500 PA with Toronto. Edwin 900 PA - to the point that AA literally waived him and got extremely lucky to get him back from Oakland. Kind of weird that you would even reference players like Lawrie, Morrow, Rasmus, Yunel when they had nothing to do with Toronto's playoff teams. I guess they were exciting value-based acquisitions. Atkins has made different forms of value-based acquisitions though; their whole MO has been value-hoarding at all levels of the org.
  9. Whoa whoa whoa, the Orioles exist.
  10. So to be clear.... A list of really bad / retarded things that Ross Atkins and Merv Shapiro have done: 1. Draft Bo Bichette 2. Draft Nate Pearson 3. Sign Eric Pardinho all bad. really stupid and bad moves. should of just drafted nobody
  11. Yes tercet, good job including Pearson, Bo, and Pardinho in the list of "stupid/really bad things". How f***ing dare Ross Atkins draft/acquire Bo Bichette! Ugh!
  12. They also deserve credit for a lot of under the hood stuff that is going on. The organization is improving from within with better systems, better coaches, better minor league pay, etc. You're probably going to see and hopefully enjoy better business practices at the ballpark. Dunedin is getting a massive upgrade. Hopefully the Dome can see one some day soon. Barry Davis is gone and now has a Tom Petty cover band. Hopefully Buck and Pat are gone when their contracts expire. These are all Shatkins things - Shatkins successes. Shatkins, Shatkins, Shatkins!
  13. Good thing Toronto has a mother f***ing AAA affiliate and they can, you know, keep both of them and hedge their bets. Jesus christ.
  14. Biggio has literally played one game in AAA and he had a 26% K rate last year in New Hampshire. The thought process towards even thinking about beginning to think about complaining that he is "blocked" is just... mind boggling.
  15. Alford broke his hamate in like, May 2017. Hamate injuries can linger but giving him a full mulligan on the entirety of 2018 is kind of stretching out the grace period. He also wasn't dogshit in 2017 after the injury. People are also wayyyyy to quick to scream breakout as soon as a toolsy player looks good. Fact is, Anthony Alford tends to always look really f***ing good unless it's August and you know what his slashline is. Nobody should think Alford is actually figuring it out until it starts to show up in the somewhat stable regular season stats. Sure, players like Alford can flip a switch but the majority of them never do.
  16. So apparently Big Nate is too good for minor league umpires.
  17. So Socrates Brito seems like a disaster at the plate. As does Hanson. Tons of fun here in Blue Jay land.
  18. Yes Todd, that's the problem. Order matters so much when you are getting literally zero hits.
  19. I mean it's just an outside link - there is no in-app gameday. It's better to just bookmark this on your phone: https://www.mlb.com/bluejays/prospects/stats/affiliates Every affiliate box score on one page
