    The thing i like the most about Gibby is the info he gave in some interview at the start of the year where he admitted that he wasn't a big student of the analytics previously but has been making the effort to learn about it and use it with his management of games.

    I have a few minor nitpicky things like him still waiting too long to yank the starters...after they've given up the lead rather than 1 or batters prior when it's clear the starter is just serving it up... but that might be because the starters have been so s*** that he's really limited in his options. He always has been very loyal to his starters in that way and i'm not sure if the results would be any better now given the pen is already overworked ... and getting more work probably won't do it any favours.

    Actually I think the gap would be closer to 3 WAR or better, but those wins would be given back by the train wreck of a pitching staff right now.
  4. John_Havok
    I mean scoring an extra run or so every other game doesn't matter when your pitching staff gives up 5+ every game
  5. John_Havok
    Maybe, but there's also the possibility he learned something from the debacle he put the Jays in and won't repeat it

    I think getting Vlad up and Morales gone would be a signal they are trying to compete this year, but unless the pitching turns a corner soon, it won't matter how much they score, so dumping Kendrys for Jr doesn't move the needle in any case.

    Thought this was pretty cool.

    Don't get short with us Spanky....

    Sure didn't sound like it. Just said teams are feeling out what they have and aren't seeking trades, didn't touch on draft preparation at all.

    After watching him, I don't think his defensive skill is a problem, but rather keeping his focus 100% of the time is the problem. His errors so far have really just been mental more than anything
  11. John_Havok
    ..uh... no?

    What's that his ... 6th extra base hit if the season?

    I don't think anyone is drinking that kool-aid anymore.

    Odúbel Herrera homers in the 1st inning, extends on base streak to 40 games.
  15. John_Havok
    I'm wondering what... if any...point you are trying to make?
  16. John_Havok
    I'm forced to point out he still actually has positive baserunning value right now.
  17. John_Havok
    19 fastballs 6 changeups. Basically he's a reliever now... sweet
  18. John_Havok
    19 fastballs out of 23 now. And the change is only like 4 mph slower.... thats just not gonna get it done
  19. John_Havok
    It better, he's throw it 18 times out of 20 pitches so far. Not exactly a great way to keep the hitters timing off

    The next move is getting rid of Demar. Lowry can actually play the kind of game they need to play but Demar can't. I just don't see how it gets done though given that it should be painfully obvious to every NBA front office that Derozan isn't worth giving up real talent for.
  21. John_Havok
    It's also that a huge part of a team's focus right now is scouting for the upcoming draft. Trade talks generally don't heat up until late June at the earliest.

    You're right in that the NHL pipeine is much shorter that the MLB. There's really only 1 level below the NHL(I guess 2 if you count major junior and US collegiate, but that's not pro level)... whereas below MLB there's 8 pro levels that have rosters to fill

    MLB Warns Mike Clevinger For Having Fun With His Cleats http://www.cleveland.com/tribe/index.ssf/2018/05/mike_clevingers_colorful_cleat.html Yet another reminder that baseball can't be fun.

    Diagnosis? Heavily bruised ego.

    Kevin Vicuna - hit machine, but no extra base base hits to speak of. Where is the power?
