  1. Hits are the one thing that is readily available on the wire
  2. FYI league winner last year only had 2 goalies. Don't go crazy for a bunch of backups and lose roster space. That's what a rebuilding team with no designs on competing should do.
  3. I don't think Dinger will ever rebuild. He'll just ride SaleBum for the next decade and continue to trade for older bats to keep his offense afloat.
  4. your team sux
  5. Shows just how fluky the playoffs are. All you can really do is get there, and make sure your roster is set up well. The rest is up to Jesus Montero
  6. I don't really see what your angle would be. Are you thinking of tanking for 6th so that you can play the most poorly named team in the league, THB? That would be pretty dicey with Havok close enough to bump you to 7th, giving you a very bad R1 matchup. It's looking like it will be you and I, old friend. 1. Dinger - 183 wins 2. Silvergun - 181.5 wins 3. Jaysblue - 167 wins 4. me - 164.5 wins 5. min - 161 wins 6. featherD - 160 wins 7. Havok - 156.5 wins 8. North - 145.5 wins
  7. Yeah but assuming health, as I said, by the time the playoffs roll around Stroman will have pitched in the majors this year.
  8. Estrada's fastball has the least vertical drop of all starters this season. This means it has a s*** ton of backspin. It probably annoys a lot of hitters as he pitches up in the zone and they swing under 89mph fastballs that they are used to squaring up. http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=pit&lg=all&qual=y&type=12&season=2015&month=0&season1=2015&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0
  9. NB that an Estrada start in the playoffs likely also means a start for Navarro, who has become his personal fatty caddy. No thanks! If everyone is healthy and fresh enough, you'd have to think they go with a 4-man of Price, Stro, Buehrle, Dickey (hopefully with Stroman lined up 2nd!).
  10. Downvote. Baseball is played outside. Bring a hat, wear sunscreen, bring water.
  11. + guys like A-Rod, Miggy, and Davis are still hanging on this year. There is also a slew of viable young guys like Lawrie, Kang, Duffy, Moose, Franco. I'd probably take Machado just because he might get SS eligibility.
  12. The 3B crop turned over so quickly. Gone are the days of Miggy, Longo, Beltre, Sandoval, Aramis, Zimmerman, and Wright. Here is the era of Donaldson, Machado, Bryant, Frazier, Arenado, Seager, and Carp.
  13. Wow, Joey Votto's numbers have really exploded. Could be a career year. It's funny how much attention Miggy gets as the league's best hitter when Votto has a better career wRC+.
  14. In context, #2. When you traded Gio he was still a long way off, not nearly the asset he is now. But I still expect Syndergaard to blow out his arm and Longo could/should bounce back.
  15. Last little playoff shuffle up this week. 1. Dinger - 183 wins 2. Silvergun - 181.5 wins 3. Jaysblue - 167 wins 4. me - 164.5 wins 5. min - 161 wins 6. featherD - 160 wins 7. Havok - 156.5 wins 8. North - 145.5 wins - - - - 9. BTS - 137.5 wins Min can flip with jaysblue and end up as high as 3rd. I'd love to catch JB and play whoever ends up 6th. BTS still has a technical chance to sneak in.
  16. I dunno, maybe, but not necessarily. God forbid people be hot in the summer though, lol.
  17. A roof with some transparency would be pretty sweet. Bigger seats sounds amazing and necessary. Throw some cupholders on the back of them while they're at it.
  18. Ryan Goins might be my new favourite Blue Jay. When you combine that sweet defense with a mature, patient approach at the dish, he's easy to like. Do they even make Goins jerseys? I wonder what they could trade Travis for in the offseason...
  19. If someone is consistently unlucky, is it really luck, or are you just a f***ing retard?
  20. Yasmany Tomas is having the quietest season possible by a guy who got a big free agent deal
  21. Mark Teixeira's day-to-day bone bruise thing has now evolved into him needing crutches and it being "more than we thought" to the Yankees.
  22. I've always said that Goins would figure it out at the dish. He has looked like a completely different player in the 2nd half. Smart players figure things out, and you can tell by how he plays D that he's cerebral. He might stick.
