I think at 20s thats an exercise strengthening the hamstring muscles? I’ve never seen it but that’s what it seems from trying to imagine the motion. I could understand doing something like that for any athlete of course
He hasn’t been an Ace for a bit. Gave up as many hits as innings the second half of year. 4.00 ERA. Definitely would’ve been nicer to see Wheeler and Harper.
Well, a lot more misses then hits for me, but I think big names wise I’d stack up well against anyone
Not many impact players any given year. Definitely reasoning to devalue picks a bit I guess
Think 2nd round could be 7 games though. 1st round if you’re like the Bluejays and can’t compete for division, you’re in a 3 game shootout, tough nuggets
It’s almost comical (considering this last week of arguing) that you people battle for the holiness of season wins. Which can have wild variations.
I think there’s a point, like the NBA, where the playoffs are sucked dry. I think that even starts happening at 8 teams, much less 20 the NBA has now.
I like the current format. Think 6 is a good number. Bye to the best teams. They just have to win one series to get to LCS. I don’t believe in the rest disadvantage.
Anyone have the spreadsheet with draft picks from the past. Fantrax doesn’t seem to go back to 2019 and 2020. I know I had quite a few names like Greene, Jung, Walker, Miller, etc. I need to stop trading so many picks, as I have over the years.
The Jays won more games, and I’d give AZ a better chance to beat Texas than the Jays for sure.
Randomness and makeup can co-exist perfectly fine.
Also, let’s not forget Thomas is a rookie. Any positive contributions should not be a fluke, but more like “they traded the wrong catcher AND got the wrong guy”
It’s all in good fun, mate. No worries. Yeah it’s an unfortunate condition I’m honest about, I don’t choose it. But it’s often mislabeled here. The real things, like my sense of grandeur, hardly get noticed
You guys would/should get a timeout in that case too. Most of my posts are baseball related and then it blows off course when personal insults/attacks are lobbed. Is a man not allowed to defend himself?
If we’re going way off topic, I’ll have to check out the South Park spoofing Disney I’m reading about. I don’t watch A lot of stuff, so usually I see something and decide I’d like to watch it. Last one about the Royals I watched was pretty good
I’m far too calculated for that and I’m never angry about anything. Not accurate.
The only thing that’s true, is if there was a Purge, I would probably do things worse than anyone else here maybe
One project that would be good, the kind of project AG does, would be to determine who the best fantasy drafter here is. It’d need to be based on per pick, to account for guys like me dealings picks
Do you have PT availability in your office to get paid to do all your thinking? If so, I could always use pocket money.
Is failing to even sniff a division title the last 3 years not his body or work. When it was a roster expected to compete for that. When he’s playing in those 3 game series’, it’s already a fail at this point for many organizations that would be expecting more.
There’s now increased pressure from the division completion getting better at a more rapid pace.
My friend, in the past you’ve essentially agreed to my position that Rodgers doesn’t appear to be the type of ownership group that shows much obsession with “taking the next step and getting deeper into the playoffs”. Other organizations with different kinds of ownership often times see it differently
