Gibby message. ... "throw the f***ing ball over the f***ing plate. f***"

3/4 with 2 doubles and a 3 run HR.

Oy clippard. .. get your s*** together

wow, 35 million in dead money. I had totally forgot about Craig and Gonzalez.

Blame Boxcar he made me do it. In fairness though, by not playing... Gift made a great contribution to the game.

I agree he's a legend because of the HR, but that shouldn't influence opinions of his overall play. Advanced stats like wRC+, wOBA etc (I'll exclude WAR because it really isn't a stat- it's a combination of stats which is designed to give a quick 1 shot look at a players contribution - which I agree isn't perfect, but is f***tons better than RBI totals) show exactly why Carter was overrated, and those stats are not subjective.

This is normal for 20 year olds in AA though. It's not like his overall line isnt still extremely impressive.

Yeah but who do send to the pen? Everyone in their rotation is suddenly a god

Because Showalter is a genius.

2 for 4 with a HR and a walk today for Bo.

why does everyone think everyone else needs to know every f***ing thought that passes through their head ... yay social media

That is already the best post that you've ever made on this forum.

Anyone looking for LULZ can check out this TSN made list of 20 prospects that lists them based on their previous 7 days of stats. Probably the most useless thing i've ever seen. https://www.tsn.ca/talent/future-watch-vlad-jr-continues-to-crush-double-a-pitching-1.1092982

enjoy this account while you can idiot.

When it comes to Heimlich though... how would he even begin to fit in to any clubhouse in the majors .. or even the minors when a bunch of his teammates are gonna have kids around? How does a minor league team, whose entire existence relies upon family atmosphere and kids being at the ballpark run a guy out there with a child molesting record? it would be a PR nightmare. I don't care what anyone says, when you know there's a convicted child molester near, whether he's paid the price with jail time or whatever... he's going to be a pariah. No teammate with kids would ever trust bringing his kids around ever, whether they believe he's reformed completely or not. None of these guys will have any history with him prior, so the first thing anyone is going to think is "hey here comes the child molester." They won't see him as a person first, ballplayer/teammate second, convicted criminal third or whatever. It's especially true in child crime scenarios. And while Osuna's type of situation is beyond s*****, guys in MLB already have a history with him, probably really like him as a person and have some sort of foundation to build forgiveness from. Plus, as s***** as abusing women is, it's not abusing children and he'll be much more likely to be given second chances by the people around him and still be seen as a person and a ball player rather than a wife beater. Sure .. they'll still have it in the back of their minds all the time, but not like any crime relating to kids.

incredible hindsight. I know I would love it if my favorite team listened to the drunk fans in the bleachers for its in-game management decisions. This may become the new market inefficiency. You should submit these critiques to the Jays in writing. I'm sure they'd want to pick your brain more given your astounding hindsight abilities.

Lol... It's now mandatory for players to stand for the anthem if they are on the field. ... but they can choose to stay in the locker room instead. What a gongshow http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/23582533/nfl-owners-approve-new-national-anthem-policy

Ah, yeah that makes more sense then.

Depends if he's up as of day 1 or not. If he's up as of Day 1 and never sees the minors again, he would lose a year of control, and would not be super 2 because he would never have more than 2 and less than 3 YOS. That would be dumb as hell by the Jays though and has about 0 chance of happening

And as he should he's attacking that same side of the plate... and of course not getting the same calls.

Probably took every ounce of his composure not to get thrown out there

What the f***? The DR has journalists?

Lol, ball 5... but it's 3 and 2.... Gj ump
