    May as well change the H to mean Hypocrisy rather than Hall. Selig is far more of a degenerate than Pete Rose or anyone who did steroids.
  2. John_Havok
    I generally don't agree with law on much, but....yeah. Selig decidedly should not be in the hall of fame.

    The thing about wOBA is that it doesn't take situation into account. A single is weighted more than a walk (slightly), because over the hundreds of thousands of prior baseball games that have been recorded, singles lead to runs more than walks, irrespective of how the single was hit or how many pitches were thrown before it happened, who was on base and where they were at the time. The context isn't relevant. Order of events is important in reality of course, but no player can control the order of events with any certainty, nor their own place in the order of events. That's why when a team in 1 inning hits 3 straight singes and then a home run, they score more than a team that hits a home run followed by 3 singles. Same events, different order, more runs, fewer runs. Players cannot control the order, so giving credit to them like they can is folly.

    This writer has a very hard time with reality. Yes, the save stat is stupid. But ...yes, events that happen at the end of games ARE more important than things that happen earlier in games, because there's less time for the other team to respond. However, that doesn't mean that if things happen at the end of the game that more skill is involved, unless you subscribe to the theory that the ability to pitch under more "pressure" is a skill and not every major league reliever has that skill. Naturally that's impossible to test given that the majority of relievers never get to try and close games, which some would say is because their team has already decided they don't have that skill, which is likely not complete ********, because there are most certainly some guys who would not pitch as well in that role. But, it's probably afr fewer than people think. Anyways, yeah this writer is dumb and looking for attention.

    We should totally do a podcast about this.
  7. John_Havok
    Fixed that for you
  8. John_Havok
    Yeah, there's always outliers. And he has massive power. Any slight power dip or babip regression and he's league average or worse in a hurry

    As usual, you missed the point on the K rate discussion. A 25% K rate is nothing to worry about when a guy also carries a 19% walk rate and hits bombs. It would be a huge problem if his walk rate was 5%

    Good players that teams will value don't get released while making small amounts of money. They only get turfed when they are s***** on albatross deals.
  11. John_Havok
    The same money applies. Tulo cannot make more money than he is already guaranteed from his contract with the Jays. That's why he will not get anything from any other team other than a league minimum deal, because why would that team want to absolve the Jays of their financial responsibility? And why would they want to pay more than the minimum?
  12. John_Havok
    Never heard him say the word retire, just that he would "go home." He'd be monumentally stupid to give up 40 million dollars
  13. John_Havok
    You reek of elderberries.
  14. John_Havok
    Apparantly his role will be a focus on working with the catchers
  15. John_Havok
    You know damn well that would be a anthropomorphized cannabis leaf on fire if it was allowed. One can only dream

    There are probably less than 3 key pieces of a championship team on the Jays right now, that doesn't mean you just trade the rest for what appears to be well below market value. A 1.5-2 WAR shortstop with 4 years of team control shouldn't be what you give up acquire a guy like Thornton regardless of whether you view him as a key piece or not. How many players on Boston would you consider to be key pieces of the championship team? Certainly Betts, Sale, Martinez, the closer, Xander, Benintendi... Name the rest of the key pieces, then look at the rest and ask yourself if you'd trade any one of them for Thornton, then realize what an idiotic statement you just made

    Here's the article I was looking at, maybe you can translate into English for me https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/high-tide-files-preliminary-prospectus-in-connection-with-the-listing-of-its-common-shares-on-the-canadian-securities-exchange-698955611.html And then this one from a few days ago https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/high-tide-subsidiary-rgr-canada-receives-record-accessories-purchase-order-from-aurora-cannabis-700371502.html Maybe take the answer into the OT section so this thread stays on point

    I need your opinion on High Tide Inc for investing purposes.
  19. John_Havok
    Shameful behavior gentlepeople. Objectifying this poor woman, who is clearly distraught, emotionally unstable and unable to function after having overheard comments that had nothing to do with her, is just another example of why then patriarchy needs to be smashed.

    There is a relief award, it's just that nobody cares about it

    Looks like that killer instinct they've been missing the last few years is starting to take hold.
  22. John_Havok
    I think it's only unreasonable now because FOs have become wiser about paying athletes into their mid and late 30s. 10/350 is probably where he starts though. Then it will just be a matter of teams trying to 1 up each other with either higher AAV, deferred money, extra years or whatever. Ditto Machado. Top tier FAs in their physical prime that still project to provide massive value for 7+ years aren't as scary as signing a 33 yo Donaldson to a long term deal
  23. John_Havok
    I think pitchers just accept the fact they will have TJS at some point, and just figure they may as well go balls out while healthy and try to get that dough
  24. John_Havok
    Also took that 103 MPH pitch out for a HR.... Resume fapping

    Who are you and what have you done with our Dick?
