    It's just that high back then was 5.5 million per year.

    If there was a guy I would want to sit, fish and drink with and just talk baseball for days at a time... it would be John Gibbons.

    Joe Carter was the 6th highest paid player in baseball in 1993 and the 3rd highest in 1994. Its always about money And yes i know your post was probably in jest, I just wonder how many people actually realized how highly paid Carter was compared to other players who were demonstrably better and worth way more more money than he was. Barry Bonds for example made less than Joe Carter.

    I like a good beer batter all year round, but especially in the playoffs. Whether its around a nice piece of fish or some excellent shrimp, beer batter is always the way to go. Never lets you down in the clutch

    It's the ultimate irony of Stroman's ******** lines he's always spewing about "say what you want, it just fuels me..." blah blah blah, then blocks anyone who says anything even remotely negative. He probably just blocked Gibby thinking it wasn't the real one, or knew it was the real one and did it as a joke. I doubt Stroman has any hate on for Gibby. Who could possibly hate John Gibbons?

    Yeah, people seem to think i'm concerned with the K rate... which I am, but the K rate is probably an easier fix than the other concerning aspects of his game. Like, sure, fixing the K rate but not fixing the launch angle issue gives a few more HRs per year, but not very much else. To be a great hitter, you have to be doing something productive when youre not hitting HRs or taking walks. Right now, he's not doing a whole lot in the PAs that dont get those 2 results. Comparing his #'s Miguel Sano is easy, since they are both were 20 at AA, and very similar hitters with massive power and big K numbers. But if you look at Sano's other numbers (LD rate, IFFB rate, WRC+) from when he was in AA to what Orelvis is doing now, it's not flattering for Orelvis. Doesnt mean it cant be fixed of course, but personally, I'm not as optimistic as many seem to be.

    Take it easy, he used a capital 2.

    You don’t know they have nobody preaching patience, don’t make things up. Stick with the bad plate appearances opinion, at least its demonstrably true in this last half inning.
  9. John_Havok
    Another bad PA, why swing at the ball outside followed by the inside one….which one was he looking for? He’s gotta stop trying to hit everything. Look for a location and stick to it until you get two strikes both he and a Gurriel got themselves out without seeing a pitch in the zone.
  10. John_Havok
    Well, good hustle to stay out of the DP, but the bat shoulda been on the shoulder until 2 strikes. Let’s go Vlad, do something useful
  11. John_Havok
    Cmon LG, put a dagger in this bitch
  12. John_Havok
    Damn, the one time windmill Rivera throws up the stop sign and the throw was….awful
  13. John_Havok
    If Manoah ever hits someone intentionally he’d probably rush the batters box right after.
  14. John_Havok
    Yeah getting it tied up at least would be nice
  15. John_Havok
    Yeah, cuz Manoah definitely threw intentionally at a guy he’s made look foolish every time today on a game where the Jays are behind 2-1. Sit the f*** down Cole, you’re just pissed because you sucked yesterday.
  16. John_Havok
    Scroll back a bit, apparently not being over the moon with Martinez is a sin.
  17. John_Havok
    I like Cortes stuff though, he throws the kitchen sink so you can’t really sit on a pitch, good enough command to throw strikes with everything and just enough fastball that you can’t sit soft and just adjust to the heater.
  18. John_Havok
    The way Cortes is reacting it’s like they all just expect anything even remotely close to be a strike.
  19. John_Havok
    I feel good about CHappy here
  20. John_Havok
    It was 101 mph with an Xba of .660 If Vlad hit that and their SS missed it we’d be marvelling at how hard Vlad always hits the ball, not skewering the SS on a wicked short hop. Just sayin
  21. John_Havok
    Definitely something off mechanically, he’s losing a lot of pitches arm side.
  22. John_Havok
    Changeup isn’t working either.
  23. John_Havok
    Don’t think I’ve ever seen a HR go off the top of the wall twice before going over. Cool
  24. John_Havok
    The first cut from the 40 if they need to make room for anyone is probably Collins or Lawrence.
  25. John_Havok
    Well at least they don’t have to clear a 40 man spot yet as it looks like they’re only sitting at 39. If Pop has to go down to get Merryweather up, and it allows them to keep both in the system…then yeah. When Mayza come back it would have to be Kikuchi sent down. They need White in the rotation.
