That's great news.
-
xFIP of 4 and LOB% is 100%. He’s a good arm to have on your team but I don’t think he’s underrated at all
-
If Montoyo doesn't hit him second or third he should be fired. Don't care about your lineup construction theories. Those are the only two options as far as I'm concerned. Get him up there in the bottom of the first no matter what.
-
This is a well thought out and put together post. After careful consideration my Jordan Groshans comp is Carlos Correa. Wouldn't that be nice?
-
So were the commissioners able to process Spanky’s request and push his trade through before 3 am?? Eat sleep and breathe BORED
-
Give me Vlad for 10 years and we can reevaluate then. He will be 30. He might not play well into his mid thirties, but I expect the first decade to be a pretty fun ride.
-
Over simplification. Scouts are needed to find guys like Groshans to be perfectly honest. There are no trackman reads or spin rates to evaluate at HS in Texas or Jucos in Florida. They get s*** on here a lot because guys always reference one scout somewhere who said Player A couldn't stick at SS. Just like any profession there are good ones and there are bad ones.
-
Shouldn't scouts be familiar with first round draft picks? The thought that this guy didn't know Groshans was a HS kid is mind boggling (unless it was on the back field and he was wearing number 69 with no name on the back)
-
I doubt you will. I don’t think many people care one way or the other- it just happens to be something I feel strongly about.
-
What do you mean by different levels? Different levels of discipline for whites/latinos/blacks using the N word? Or for words deemed inappropriate in general? Maybe I’m in the wrong but I don’t understand why the severity of this word should be lessened just because “you don’t get our culture”. Maybe your culture is f***ing backwards and you should stop acting like it should be treated as common practice amongst blacks only.
-
Oh wow Micah Johnson the most irrelevant player of all time also has an opinion on this. Nobody called you a n*gger while you were trying to vote. Don’t use the hardships black people ACTUALLY endured as a scapegoat so you can feel better about yourself acting like a donkey. You’re not oppressed. Stop playing the victim and own up to your mistakes. I wouldn’t give a s*** if Tim Anderson threw fists and broke Brad Keller’s nose. Throwing at guys because they mashed your s***** fastball isn’t right. But that doesn’t give you the right to call someone a n*gger, and it’s a special type of stupid when it’s directed at a white guy. And no it won’t leave teams with white benches. I don’t think I’ve ever heard latinos refer to each other as n*ggers. They’re not leaving the game any time soon.
-
Thank you Boxy Too many people afraid to call a spade a spade. Tim Anderson is stupid and so is Stroman’s take. I wonder what Adam Jones thanks of this tbh
-
Rowdy? 7% BB rate and 22 HR's. A 110 wRC+ first baseman only. The most replaceable player in baseball today.
-
I think it's a lack of preparation, both mentally and physically, a lack of desire, and a lack of focus when guys don't get bunts down. Nobody expects players to consistently beat the shift. But if you can't go the other way then f*** you, that's not my problem. Have fun hitting into the shift your entire career. You don't think big league managers cringe when guys make fundamental mistakes? If Kevin Cash wants you to get the bunt down, you better get the bunt down. If Terry Francona puts on a hit and run, you better put that ball in play, and preferably to the right side. Wouldn't baseball be fun if we just played it on a computer and simulated all the games?! Now THAT's a sport
-
Does this really happen? Every time someone makes a fundamental mistake Twitter becomes filled with tweets about fundamentals? Or is this a dramatic hot take based on nothing essentially?
-
You're aware there is a lot more to the fundamental understanding of the game than bunting and run downs right?
-
Blue Jays will call up Vladdy next Tuesday
L54 replied to Angrioter's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I’m sure he has more of an idea than anybody here does -
Was Lewis Brinson ever any good? Why anyone would’ve accepted him as a return for anything is beyond me
-
Extend Stroman. Let Sanchez run out his time in Toronto or trade him. Not interested in guaranteeing him anything.
-
Everything okay Spanky?
-
It's Dave Dombroski. I don't find it very hard at all to conceive
-
I’m pretty sure the logos were only for the series in Mexico. St. Louis had them on their helmets too. Still dumb, but at least it doesn’t look like a full season sponsorship deal.
-
I pegged you as an Escape kinda guy Boxy. More room for activities
-
Forgive him. Jim owns Jo Adell in one of the forum dynasty leagues and he’s very proud of it
-
I'd say you made out pretty well
