  1. Possibly, but do they attach the same douche factor? Or do they just eat it up like Skittles and marvel at his amazingness?
  2. I think the hate is pretty well confined to this message board. The casuals probably don't see or hear any of what he puts out there.
  3. Not to mention some kid named Halladay pitched the bottom of the 8th for Team Canada, 3 up and 3 down
  4. Jays win 80 Yankees vs Dodgers WS, Dodgers win and MLB executives have a collective erections for the entire winter over the WS ratings
  5. I think Atlanta is a lot closer to their contention window than the Jays are. Pitching isn't there yet, but their offense/defense is already on the cusp of being Cubs-esque from a few seasons ago with Freeman, Albies, Acuna, Swanson, Inciarte, Tucker....
  6. http://metro.co.uk/2018/03/14/baseball-player-brutally-attacks-girlfriend-horrifying-cctv-footage-7388073/amp/ W T F
  7. s*** youre right, totally forgot about him. Having a useless Morales on this team really makes the OF a logjam. Blasting him to the moon would greatly simplify things. However, an inevitable injury to someone will probably unjam it for the most part all season long
  8. With a very pedestrian (for him) 6 fWAR season this year he would already be a top 120 all time hitter by the time he is 27.
  9. It's likely Hernandez starts in the bigs along with a Granderson/Pearce platoon, Pillar in CF. Alford, Smith Jr and Pompey would be the AAA outfielders (assuming all healthy) likely with Fields as the 4th OF and playing regularly when one of them is inevitably injured.
  10. I think it's because the jump in talent from High A to AA is greater than the jump from AA to AAA.
  11. Smoak hits 40 HR. Tulo and Travis combine for more than 200 games. Morales squeaks into positive baserunning value. Donaldson gets hurt on day 2, gone for the season.
  12. For Hurl's sake, and the eyesight of anyone unlucky enough to see the result of that, I hope not.
  13. It's a common misconception that the pitching in AA is a higher calibre than AAA. Yes, the very top pitching prospect for a team maybe in AA, but that's usually 1 guy out of entire rotation, with the rest filled out by journeyman minor leaguers who may not even have sniffed AAA. The average age of pitchers in AA last season was over 24 in all 3 AA leagues. Yes, AAA is typically older guys who once we're in the majors and are trying to hang on and get another shot, bUT they could still pitch better than AA rotations as a whole.
  14. Still on vacation on the other side of the world. Crisped up at the beach this morning and now drinking the local brew, Phoenix beer. 2:30 in the afternoon here
  15. What you doing up at 2am?
  16. Maybe, but comparing salary systems in leagues like the NBA vs MLB is very different. 40 man rosters vs 12 ....
  17. I think it's pretty much an established fact that baseballs are juiced. MLB will never admit this of course, like they will never admit to knowingly allowing its players to juice when it benefitted them greatly, and subsequently threw them all under the bus when the winds changed and played dumb about it. If you can't juice the players, juice the balls.
  18. Holy crap, a Chappy sighting!
  19. In his favour he has nowhere to go but up.
  20. Good. Might be nice to hear intelligent insight rather than mumbly ranting about stuff that hasn't been relevant in 15 years
  21. Consider it a challenge, or experiment to see if can actually f*** brains into someone, rather than out. I think we should commission a study.
  22. Different looking bench ... meaning... A useful one? -.2 fWAR from those 1146 PAs is vomit inducing. They would project this year as the same, below replacement level. Their replacements project nearly 3 fWAR in about 750 PAs. Anyone trying to say this year's bench is worse (and I know that wasn't your stance by posting that tweet), is a f***ing lunatic.
