    I picked it up last year for the Jays season only, didnt really want it for the rest of the time but i found it very worth the 14.99 per month
  2. John_Havok
    Im gonna say Chapman gets the first HR. Line drive that barely clears the LF wall and lands in the bullpen.
  3. John_Havok
    Yup, he is
  4. John_Havok
    They also still havent arrived at an arbitration # for this season. He wants 22m, they want to give 17m. Decent sized gap
  5. John_Havok
    Here’s the full listen for anyone who missed it.

    OPening day just cost Pittsburgh and arm and a leg.

    Just like every other year. As soon as they announced ONeil Cruz was going to start in the minors... you just knew it was gonna be a shitshow. Lots of other teams putting their studs on display from day 1, but not Pittsburgh. joke of a franchise at this point.
  8. John_Havok
    Not Jesus. Christian. So ... close, but not quite.

    Or it could have played out very similar to how it did, and maybe the trade to Oakland would just look a little different with the players going their way. Vlad, Semien, Bichette and Chapman IF would still be one of the best infields in recent memory anywhere.

    I know. You can bet the PA gave him a call and is asking him WTF
  11. John_Havok
    We're all idiots. May as well be the 2004 Red Sox.
  12. John_Havok
    Of course. Cleveland vs Kansas City is a must watch.
  13. John_Havok
    Baltimore laughed at Cleveland back then, it's true. But yeah, Cleveland has undergone quite the revival lately, whereas Baltimore has continued its downward spiral into virtual hell.

    Nah. The bullpen was just 1 of the factors. Springer being hurt a good chunk of the year was another. Terrible in game managing from Montoyo was another. There is never just 1 reason why a team misses the playoffs by 1 game.
  15. John_Havok
    I dunno. But, it is generally good advice.
  16. John_Havok
    It's Baltimore, they probably only have 1 or 2 engineers and architects in the entire city and probably not on the higher end of skills.
  17. John_Havok
    I wonder what precipitated this change... the fact that their shittiest hitters are right handed and dont hit homers anyway, and they have 3 lefties in the rotation so... lets move the RF fence back so it doesnt hurt us but might hurt others?
  18. John_Havok
    1 more legit swing/miss guy would be preferred, but that's probably universal across baseball. There's enough talent on the roster to be effective, it's just a matter of health and consistency - which is univeral across baseball. Romano, Mayza and Yimi - while not the most imposing trio in the world by any stretch, can get the job done. Richards and Cimber are both steady and reliable. Phelps could be the huge with his talent. Merryweather has tremendous potential to be lethal. Stripling is what he is and wont be in high leverage situation. The only real questions in the pen is whether they will get anything from anyone left handed aside from Mayza.

    Hope Vlad gets his swing path back. yet another GIDP
  20. John_Havok
    Manoah and Wells apparently decided before the game to see who could throw more strikes. After 2 innings... Wells 32 pitches, 26 strikes. Manoah 33 pitches, 27 strikes.
  21. John_Havok
    Gotta love Manoah filling that strike zone. 17 pitches, 12 strikes. 2 Ks and a weak grounder back to the him. This game is easy
  22. John_Havok
    I know Chapman has some health risk, but a 5 to 1 payout on 40 HRs is tempting . If you can hit 27 in Oakland over a mostly full season where you were overall garbage offensively, you can sure hit 40+ in Toronto and the AL East parks if you're in the lineup everyday with even a bit of a bounceback. Donaldson went from 29 in Oakland to 41 and 37 over the next 2 seasons in TO. We just saw what Semien did, 33 to 45. Chapman going 27 to 40 isn't a big stretch. hell, he hit 36 in Oakland his last healthy season.

    For me, I try to rate trades based on the idea and intent rather than the result. personally, i understood why the Jays wanted to add top end pitching when they did with the Dickey trade, I just never understood why Dickey was targeted as some kind of ace that would be the guy to carry a team to a title. Attaching your hopes to a 1 trick-pitch pony and giving up multiple top end talents to do so was just a dumb plan from the start. Had the target of that trade been an actual ace calibre pitcher with a real track record of dominance with no signs of slowing down with multiple yeras of control left like Dickey had... yeah, do it. That's what makes it one of the most terrible trades from my perspective.

    Harwell has been dead for a decade or more. Don't think its him.
  25. John_Havok
    He's not some ham fisted butcher back there, good lord.
