    I wish i'd never read it. It's just a massive pile of "old guys complain about why stuff isn't like it was 40 years ago" crap. Any article that uses Goose Gossage for quotes, unless it's purely for LOLs deserves to be ripped up. And then this gem.... "When you don't put the ball in play, you have no chance to get on base. Absolutely none, unless the catcher can't catch," Detroit manager Ron Gardenhire says. "The point of baseball is to get on base. I don't think that will ever change. But it's taking some knocks now." Guess he never heard of a walk. That's a major league manager folks. The only way to get on base is by getting a hit.

    Good job. 1 more and the Brewers can f*** off

    Some of those salaries are a joke. These guys should be in the multiple 7 figures minimum (like 2 million) with all the s*** they have to deal with, be aware of and handle on a daily basis. While they are not as key to actual wins as having great players, it's still an important role in the rg that deserves better pay than slightly above a player's league minimum. though you'll never see me clamoring for a 10 million dollar baseball manager unless revenues keep going way up.

    90+ or GTFO of the lineup

    Sure, he wants to be on the field competing, as any athlete would, but I promise you, a near 36 year old career catcher in a lost season doesn't mind getting time off to rest those knees. He also spent a few days on the Paternity list

    The swing change probably accounts for some of it, and the difference in balls accounts for the rest
  7. John_Havok
    Regardless of whether they see him as an upgrade (however slight that upgrade might be), you have to realize that giving up decent prospects for a slight upgrade, especially at catcher... doesn't happen

    It's getting to be an epidemic
  9. John_Havok
    Nobody is paying decent prospects for Martin regardless if how much money you eat

    Is this real life? People still look at batting average as a thing that matters?
  11. John_Havok
    Jays are gonna ditch Pillar, sign Harper and have Grichuk in CF. Book it
  12. John_Havok
    Vlad also thrown out twice trying to stretch 2 of the 3 hits into doubles. Clearly not ready
  13. John_Havok
    If all you see is Morales, Giles and Merryweather, you're not looking very hard
  14. John_Havok
    Will be some very good CSs Sox vs Dodgers would be great for ratings in the World Series if it happens.
  15. John_Havok
    Crazy ending but it's all over. On to the LCSs

    Exactly. There are always examples of guys who get picked in the 70-80 range that will end up being outliers and actually become good players. The odds of that though are really low. The odds of Merryweather outperforming whomever the Jays hypothetically picked in that range next year is quite a bit higher.

    That's the thing with National broadcasts for any sport, but especially baseball. They have to be aware that the vast majority if their audience are people who think speedy slap hitters, wins for pitchers, and stuff like RBIs are important so they have to hire people that are capable of dumbing everything down to the lowest common denominator Side Story, was at family's house for Thanksgiving dinner last night and we started playing this game Anomia, basic gist of the game is that people flip over cards with symbols and a random category on them and when 2 people's symbols match, the first person to name something in the other persons category wins their card. So, I flip a card, it matches someone else, and my caRd said "a unit of weight" and their card said "German city" so they said 'kilogram' just before I said "Berlin"... and they took my card. I said hang on, a kilogram isnt a unit of weight and they all looked at me like I had 4 heads. It wasn't until they actually agreed to Google it that they realized I wasn't the idiot. Apparantly there's a lot of people out there that think mass and weight are the same thing.

    Cleveland has been revitalized a lot in recent years. It's not really that much of a dumpster anymore. Baltimore has that title hands down. Maybe Detroit
  20. John_Havok
    Doesn't really help your case
  21. John_Havok
    Probably the most anticipated list since the 10 Commandments. And probably about as useful
  22. John_Havok
    How many teams not in the playoffs have ex me members of the Jays or the playoff teams? Then tell me why it's relevant
  23. John_Havok
    At least he got his major league hit. Was a classy move by the Jays to bring him up for those games after he toiled in the minors for 3400 PA, 99% of which were with the Jays
  24. John_Havok
    You definitely missed the subtlety of the joke.
  25. John_Havok
    There is no way that Jazz Chisholm guy's nickname isn't Jizz. There's just no alternative that makes sense.
