    That's the great feature of Kikuchi, the stuff is so good that even average to below average command and it still works. On days where he has plus command its not even fair. That doesn't happen very often though.

    I wonder if anyone has checked Vlad's eyesight. He's not even close
  3. John_Havok
    f*** it. embrace the entertainment. He's so bad its even past the point of criticism now into pure comedy. He could make a killing on the Savannah Banana's circuit.
  4. John_Havok
    To a point, for sure. Turner as well.

    I havent heard much whining about the Jays pitching yet either, though I haven't truly been paying much attention to the GDTs. Giving up run totals of 8, 5, 10 and 8 in 4 losses is far more at fault for losing these games so far.

    I mostly get where you're coming from. My wife is an import. Granted I didn't look for here in advertising mediums, but it wasn't even that long ago that advertising for brides was commonplace in Canada and the US. There was entire magazines that showed off young single women from eastern europe, russia etc who were all ready to pick up and move to the prairies to marry some single farmer and it wasn't considered crazy or weird. What part of the world you stalking now?

    attaboy Spanks, gettin it done early. Today's the day the season turns around.

    Tell that to all the big banks and fortune 500 companies that needed government bailouts to keep afloat over the past however many years pre-Covid. I like the new avatar also, it suits you.
  9. John_Havok
    definitely some good fortune, but gotta give Jimi some credit too for putting out a pretty big fire.
  10. John_Havok
    Yeah, coming in with runners on 1st and 3rd with none out and he gets a shallow fly, pop up and a strikeout looking. Was probably the ballgame right there if he didnt get those guys when he did.
  11. John_Havok
    Yeah. When I'm watching him hit it truly looks like he's trying to guess along with the pitcher at whats coming instead of just looking for a certain pitch/location, and he's mostly guessing offspeed which makes him late on the fastballs he does get.
  12. John_Havok
    Never had a doubt. Good win boys
  13. John_Havok
    Nice. I have it on good authority though from sportsnet comments sections that Yariel was signed to be a swingman at best, so these good starts in Buffalo will be great prep for that role.

    I know, the Yankees could really be in trouble despite their early sweep of the Astros. I know, the Astros could really be in trouble especially after their early sweep at the hands of the Yankees. I know, the Rangers could..... ......

    I dont want to see Turner at 3b ever again.
  16. John_Havok
    Yeah, what do they even expect for a guy making 2 million dollars this year?
  17. John_Havok
    almost 300 replies, must have won

    Both were already playing catch on flat ground this week, a 60 day stint would seem unlikely at this point unless a step backwards is taken. The great thing about relievers is they don’t need much time to build up. From the time they’re throwing off a mound and throwing bullpens they could be game ready in 2 weeks-ish
  19. John_Havok
    Yeah. I think any reliever with options is going to be pushed to the 5-option limit this year. The Buffalo shuttle will be in full effect.

    It is, but then... there's teams that are in it right down to the last couple games of the season, so... they would earn 0 "draft points" when they were trying the entire time vs a dumpster team that was eliminated with a month left in the season and picked up a few meaningless wins. How would that benefit the team that was in it right to the end when the premise of the system would be to encourage the dumpster teams to be more like the teams who already push to the finish line and just barely come up short? Its an interesting idea, but would need some tweaking. Perhaps, you take the win total for the worst team in the game, as in the team that is eliminated mathematically the soonest, and use that wins number on the day of their elimination as the cutoff for all teams that don't make the playoffs. Any non-playoff team gets their "draft points" based on how many wins they end up with above that number.

    the 2.75 they traded away in Espinal looks even more important then in addition to the fact that he sucks.
  22. John_Havok
    Can't even imagine the media shitshow. It would be incredible

    Adding a correction to my post here. Apparently they can ask him to agree to a 45 day window in which they can outright him and then he forfeits whatever remains on the 2 million guaranteed annual salary. Something called "Advanced Consent" That's one piece of the CBA I'd be looking at getting rid of in the next round of negotiations if I'm the head of the PA. That's a really bad look when teams do that. here's a decent breakdown from mlbtraderumours in 2014 about it. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/04/the-45-day-advance-consent-form.html

    Naw, its all clickbait really. Anything like this article is just picking tiny examples of things that might look weird without any larger context.
  25. John_Havok
    No doubt. Defense doesn't get paid in arbitration... ever.
