  1. Martin obviously needs an off day. There aren't a lot of alternatives.
  2. Where's the damned clarification? We're all waiting with bated breath I'm sure.
  3. I was just about to post the Phillips thing. What a goof.
  4. Much of 'American English' is just a bastardized version of real English created by Noah Webster for a populous that was resentful of their British heritage. He proposed countless other words like masheen for machine and wimmin for women. I'm surprised any of it caught on really.
  5. With the thin pitching market, I suspect they could get someone comparable to Jon Harris, perhaps more.
  6. I wonder if Beeston had an inkling of these asinine ideas when he was one of the few to vote against Manfred.
  7. I fail to understand why using fewer players in the all-star game is attractive to fans, players, or executives. No team is going to let their pitcher go 6-7 innings and we'd never see guys like Sanchez get to pitch.
  8. It certainly isn't on the list of any Blue Jays opponents.
  9. That's right in line with his career norms. Just goes to show what an incredible player he has been.
  10. For me it's about discussion, not notification.
  11. Tulo and Martin will still be around and there are some holes to fill, but nice pitching staff.
  12. I agree, but if that's the determination then shouldn't it be an error or a single? Fielder's choice seems like the worst fit.
  13. They have Martin a fielder's choice on that review play. It seemed to me that it could have been a single.
  14. If we can win without JB, just imagine what we'll do with him. No contending team is giving up a top SP for him.
  15. I watched Wilmer Font pitch in Ottawa less than a month ago, interesting that the Bisons took a shot on him.
  16. If Grilli blows it, most will blame Gibby. Doesn't matter if he makes the right decisions or not.
  17. Why cut him? He's good insurance in AAA and a nice bench bat in September at the very least.
  18. I wonder how often people with autism get a master's degree and supervise others. If I actually had a mental illness, it would quite an achievement and not something to be ashamed of like BTS suggests. These are just the typical lengths he goes to in order to divert the conversation when he makes a stupid comment on a baseball issue and gets called out. I don't think he treats people in real life like that for what it's worth. Trying to judge someone's real personality from internet comments is a fool's errand.
  19. You took being wrong easier than usual. Kudos on personal growth.
  20. If you say so. I don't believe that Shapiro and Atkins would make such bald-faced lies right from the start of their tenure. Shapiro certainly had some input on the direction (like not signing Price), but there were a myriad of short term pitching options and I think LaCava did a nice job in identifying the right ones. People are going to like what Shapiro does, he has a solid track record. You don't have to manipulate everything to fit your narrative. Let the truth speak for itself.
  21. They were very clear in saying those were LaCava's decisions, but I liked them nonetheless. Really, the new front office hasn't done a whole lot and that isn't a bad thing. I liked the draft and the Grilli pickup, while the Morales signing was a mistake, but we won't really get a sense of their plan is until the offseason.
  22. I think a guy to target is Joaquin Benoit. He's a lot like Grilli, a veteran that maintained his velocity and K's, but saw a spike in his walks. We could probably get him for salary relief.
  23. I'd take Moore if the price isn't one of our top 5 prospects. His velocity is back up and he's having a decent year. The age and contract status are also nice.
