    You can't teach clutch because it's not a repeatable skill. It's moreso about mindset - not panicking, having a short memory and not putting too much pressure on yourself. It's possible to learn it from experience. That, and it helps to have a manager that would actually use the pen properly that doesn't keep giving away runs late in games.

    Is there precedence for a pitcher like Hendriks... who 10 years ago averaged 91mph on his fastball, and is now averaging 98? Yeah, a move to the pen probably bumped it up a few, but even with the Jays out of the pen he only averaged 95. Whatever arm program he is on needs to find its way here.

    The upcoming offseason is going to be the most important one in the Shatkins tenure. There's clear needs, 2 guys having career years that are FAs that are begging for extensions. I get the need to try and find those hidden gems in the pen, but I think this teams needs to get past that and really sink some money into proven talents. They don;t all have to be elite arms of course, but we can;t see another season of ******** guys like Dolis and the parade of replacement level garbage behind him. yes, injuries to Merriweather, Phelps and the guy they wanted to be the closer really hurt, but every team has pen injuries every year. It needs to be better. Hell, Merriweather is still 4th on the team in reliever war and he only pitched 4.1 innings, Phelps is 3rd after pitching 10 innings. Kinda tells you how much the rest of the pen sucks. #1 and 2 are Romano and Mayza. Cimber has been pretty much the only solid addition. Also, not that it needs to be said, but Montoyo has to go - that would improve the pen by 2 or 3 wins alone.

    Following on gameday, why did Schneider get the boot?
  5. John_Havok
    It's Ryu, everything is soft. This is just one of those games where the soft tosser isn't getting swings and misses on the borderline stuff, and everything in the zone is being massacred.

    Did you want to find a report that isn't 4 years old? Bichette's arm is definitely not a 40-50 at this point in time

    This lineup does not make me tingle... Espinal is not a middle of the order hitter no matter what kind his avridge is.

    Attention whoring from Sheryl Ring, who would've thought?
  9. John_Havok
    Sounds great. anytime a guy gets injured, that just excludes him from ever coming up again. Very simple and easy to manage plan

    .4 fWAR from last night's start. Damn nice outing
  11. John_Havok
    Dig up... corpse of Biggio.... I see what you did there.
  12. John_Havok
    Might be thread worthy on it's own, but what would a Ray extension look like at this point? Dude is killing it this year, well beyond expectations and is definitely going to be looking to get PAID.
  13. John_Havok
    Guessing if the game goes the way it's going it will be a position player throwing 7, 8 and 9.
  14. John_Havok
    Nope, but some of those close ones go the other way and hitters aren't able to sit on the fat part of the plate. Not an excuse though, his fastball command has been garbage.

    How bad is a team's bullpen when a team gets excited to have AJ Cole return....
  16. John_Havok
    Nah, 60 day IL is a free spot to hoard broken talent.
  17. John_Havok
    Don't sweat it, happens to the best of us.
  18. John_Havok
    Ring is obviously making this judgment based on his lifetime of experience in womanhood.
  19. John_Havok
    They ain't really quaint, so please don't point and stare. They're just technologically impaired.

    Saw him in concert in Saskatoon when Amish Paradise came out. The man is a genius.

    Well that sucks, exclusive licensing is never good for the consumer. Upper Deck has been the exclusive licensee for the NHL for nearly 10 years now and the innovation has virtually stopped, along with higher prices every year for the same crap.
  22. John_Havok
    Agreed. “Weird” Al Yankovic is one of the best to ever do it.

    Quite honestly it just looks to me like his timing is off slightly. I have no problems with Vlad being more of a spray hitter than a dead pull hitter, the world knows he can yank any pitch on the inner half out of any park and you can see they pitch him differently because of it so he has to be able to handle the outer half without pulling. So far he's done fine with that approach. Hell, he took one oppo taco to Right centre in Fenway and that ain't a cheap HR. In fact the has 11 oppo HRs this year so far so I'm very much okay with that type of approach. Semien has to sellout to the pull side to hit for power. Vlad doesn't.

    Alleged. However, some text messages and such of hers kinda made here out to be ... less than completely truthful in her accusations. So, you have a person alleging assault, but at the same time having text messages on her phone stating she is inviting rough sex and wanting to get money from him in a settlement. Does that excuse him if he went past their verbal agreements on what was allowed? No, but it does cast doubt on whether what he did actually did go outside the bounds of the agreed upon rough sex boundaries. I'm not in the courtroom obviously but when she left things out of the declaration, they get found out, it casts doubt on her credibility, and thus it's only natural to question the validity of her accusations.

    Was I the only one that wanted Cleveland to change their name to the Steamers?
