How much has one start changed your opinion on Aaron Sanchez?
Laika replied to Laika's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I have to almost hope that he sucks so that all of you vacuous message board snowflakes aren't illegitimately and insufferably vindicated. -

Why the hell do you idiots have to make it so hard to just cheer for Sanchez? Ugh. -
I just traded VV straight up for Hamels in a small keeper league. Hold me all season plz.
-
Josh Hader - he's like Sean Manaea except worse, further away, with a worse eventual home park, and most importantly uglier.

Escobar trade was amazing, but it didn't work out amazingly because a) tu es maricon and really stupid subsequent trade to MIA/TB for kind of nothing. They could have bathed in surplus value for a half decade, but they settled for a small cup of fun because reasons. Some people are more visual learners and thinkers so I think yes, when you express things visually in tables your opinions can carry more weight or at least be understood if not accepted by more people. -

Trades fall into one of nine categories. Imagine a 9x9 grid. Actually, don't imagine. Observe a 9x9 grid! You can make a trade that is Good, Fair, or Bad. That trade can work out Better than expected, As expected, or Worse than expected. [table=width: 500, class: grid, align: left] [tr] [td][/td] [td]Good[/td] [td]Fair[/td] [td]Bad[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Better than Expected[/td] [td]Donaldson trade[/td] [td]Bautista![/td] [td][/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]As Expected[/td] [td]Morrow trade[/td] [td][/td] [td]Napoli for Francisco + Marlins deal[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Worse than Expected[/td] [td]Rasmus + Escobar trades[/td] [td][/td] [td]Dickey trade[/td] [/tr] [/table] -
I don't know much about basketball but when watching that whole game, it certainly felt like Powell was the biggest reason that the Raptors were able to separate the score in the 2nd half.

Remember when the trade was leaking and we thought something like JPA + Nicolino would be fair? hahahaha And then d'Arnaud leaked and we were like f***. And then Syndergaard too and a bunch of people became temporary Rays fans. In context, nobody expected Syndergaard to be this good. I guess ONE of d'Arnaud or him would have been fair kind of. -
Joey Gallo is destroying AAA with an amazingly good K rate and he will almost certainly be a better player and fantasy asset than Miguel Sano at this point. I anticipate that Texas will jettison Mitch Moreland within the next 60 days and what will eventually be known as the "Gallo era" of Major League Baseball will finally begin.
-
Hector Santiago just shoved 10 K's down my throat so I think this might be the year of destiny for KingKat.

Have to give Dwane Casey credit tonight, boys. 4th quarter lineup has been spot on
-
Norman Powell is a difference maker
-
lol, I love that line from JV Rod Black - "Take me into the locker room. What do you guys have to talk about doing to prevent what happened on Saturday in the 2nd half from happening here tonight?" JV - *grins* "I dunno, that's the coaches' job."

He looked completely different in his first game vs TB (like, really good). Jury is still out on whether or not he's improved substantially. Last two games he has been like you said: mostly fastballs, almost no changeups, very few swinging strikes, and not so great command. -
Right, I might be thinking of two years ago. 24% from the 3 point line in his playoff career lmao
-
Last year in the playoffs he must've gone like 1/40 from the arc lol. More airballs than makes, for sure.
-
Moral of the story: don't trust 5'9", 150 lb Mexicans that tell you they turned down 3 million dollars once.
-
JV is a monster DeKobe is the worst player
-
Rowdy has his 2nd home run. This guy has been outstanding so far as a 21 year old in AA.

haha, Mookie missed it by like a foot -
Tyler White > AJ Reed bro

I don't know if there's very much (anything?) tools-wise that precludes Trumbo from being as good at hitting as say JD Martinez. Just a matter of not chasing balls, and attacking strikes, and connecting with said strikes. Of course you could say the same thing for so many players.

Well that sentence is just patently false -
Storen's velocity is down about 2mph this year. Yuck.
-
He isn't as good as I thought he would be. Is the stuff worse for some reason?
