    I fail to see how this is “genius”
  2. John_Havok
    Richards has lost his command completely this season it seems. Nothing is even close to looking crisp. Hitters know it’s always a ball
  3. John_Havok
    Of course some idiot had to go and open his mouth…..what a moron.
  4. John_Havok
    It’s a new game. Now get another 2 innings out of Kikuchi without giving the lead back and i think we win this.
  5. John_Havok
    No. Some guy opened then Castillo came in
  6. John_Havok
    Missed this live as I was at work but that was sexy as hell.

    Well yeah, that was the question though, which cannot really be answered. It's not a for sure thing that Biggio playing LF has a measureable effect. Springer could get hurt tomorrow no matter how many games Biggio or ZImmer play .. so the hypothetical "value" of that positional flexibility in keeping Springer healthy is just that... hypothetical. I think the type of flexibility that guys like Biggio help with more is the ability to pinch hit more often for the platoon advantage and get plugged in wherever after the plate appearance. Over the course of a season those platoon advantages add up.

    Defensive versatility is never really a bad thing. But, trying to quantify the value his versatility brings in how mnay times he plays the OF in order to rest other guys... that can't really be done objectively, because it's not a clear "Biggio playing LF tonight gives X player the day off so he WILL stay healthier, ergo he WILL provide more value over the season so if that happens the extra value from X player IS a direct result of Biggio being able to play LF...." it's a factor, but it's not straight line. Zimmer would also be a factor there everytime he goes in defensively etc.

    Its a problem for sure. There is 0 starting depth at AAA right now that I would trust to do anything other than suck.
  10. John_Havok
    I actually think its a good thing he's getting a day off. He's the 1 guy on the team right now who's defensive awesomeness cannot be replaced if he somehow does go to the IL. 1 day off won't kill the season.

    The math has already been done. A few games ago, even if the Yankees played .500 ball the rest of the season, the Jays need to win at a .630 clip the rest of the way to beat them by 1 game. Now, I can certainly see the Jays as capable of winning at .630, but no way the Yankess go .500 or worse unless at least 4 regulars get hurt for a huge stretch of time. It's possible, but it's not probable. That .630 winning percentage for the Jays also assumes total health, which is not likely either. All of that said, the Jays were pretty much out of the playoff picture last year before they won 14 or 15 games in a row at that one point towards the end of the season and ended up missing by 1 game. Anything is possible I guess.

    And the bench. I seriously don’t see this team making noise in the playoffs with Tapia and Zimmer around. I’d honestly prefer Zimmer over tapia and that makes me sick to my stomach
  13. John_Havok
    They can but the waiver claim doesn’t come into play until 10 days after the DFA date. Any team can trade for him before then if they want to. It’s only after 10 days that the waiver claim priority comes into play
  14. John_Havok
    Every team would have to trade for him unless he clears waivers.
  15. John_Havok
    Sweet Jesus that was pretty
  16. John_Havok
    I think they would for the right arm with multiple years on control, if he were available.
  17. John_Havok
    Looks safe to me, but I’m apparently wrong. Noice
  18. John_Havok
    Would be nice, their pen is actually not terrible so the more they beat ‘em down tonight, the better
  19. John_Havok
    Who sacrificed a goat to the babip gods before this game?
  20. John_Havok
    He ran, but the 3b was playing in. Tapia just really sucks.
  21. John_Havok
    You really think people are inquiring on Groshans for trade, whos still playing the majority of innings at SS, then 3b and they're interested, but wonder "can he play 1st?"
  22. John_Havok
    Tapia sure does look the part though.
  23. John_Havok
    Showcased at a less important position than the one he plays normally that is pretty important?
  24. John_Havok
    Hope he gets to pitch in Seattle then. About as close to a home Jays crowd as you get outside of the Dome.
  25. John_Havok
    Biggio is probably going to be one of the biggest recipients of the "no more shift* boost in numbers next year. guy is a machine hitting grounders in the hole between 1st and 2nd.
