Travis Hafner beasted that year too.
-
Not sure how Sizemore didn't win that year. Not enough RBI I guess....Crazy s***
-
Maybe not, but having Tulo and Martin already on the books really limits what you can do, plus you can pretty much guarantee JD will only get 1 chance at free agency and won't be letting it go by without shopping around.
-
And Jesus Christ... I mean Donaldson just hit another one. That ball was crushed
-
Jays will need probably 2 additional pitchers at Least as good as, if not better than Stroman if they want to contend. And that's not a knock on Stroman, just a fact of life in baseball these days. A 4 WAR ace just isn't good enough. If Sanchez can be healthy, maybe he's one of them, but any thoughts of contention you just need that guy that's in the 6+ WAR area
-
Doubt he would even make the roster even if they made it that far
-
I don't get the big deal either. First off, Trump, despite being a f***ing moron, has the same rights to free expression that everyone else does. If he wants to say that players should be fired for kneeling... big f***ing deal. The same amendment that the protesters point to to support their protest, is the same amendment that Trump uses on a minute by minute basis. Sure, what he says 99% of the time is stupid, not thought out, simplistic and moronic and he should definitely be spending his time trying to figure out what his job as President should actually entail, but this outrage is just getting boring.

Sure, until the Yankees/Dodgers world series when every dinosaur on the planet will resurrect every s***** baseball cliche for months and proclaim it a throwback to the good old days.
-
I think it's neither good nor bad, it's just baseball. Without a balanced schedule, this can and will happen from time to time.
-
I'm not sure how prevalent it is in the lower minors to have 8 guys share an apartment, but even 1 instance of this is pathetic. These are still people that you employ and they're being treated like garbage
-
Peace of mind ... I guess?
-
Tulo is left handed now? You're probably not far off. Pompey if he's not a quadriplegic by then after falling down while walking his dog might get a shot
-
Vancouver won game 4 by a score of 2-1 to win the NWL Championship last night. Logan Warmoth hit a 2 run single in the 5th to take the lead back and it held from there.
-
Vancouver won 2-1 last night to take a 2-1 series lead in their NWL best of 5 finals. Pearson threw 4 innings, gave up 1 ER on 3 hits, 2 walks and 4 K, then the pen took over and threw 5 shutout innings on 1 hit, 2 walks and 6 K.

General 2017 Blue Jays Discussion Thread
John_Havok replied to reedjohnsonfan's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Urena will start him in AAA and he will take over for either Travis or Tulo when they inevitably get hurt. He won't be a starter if both are healthy unless Shatkins can work a miracle and trade Tulo, or they decide to move on and trade Travis. I think the chances of either of those trades is pretty low though. -
21 wins is the record from 1935 Chicago Cubs, Oakland's Moneyball year of 20 straight in 2002 is the modern day record
-
Vancouver won game 1 of the NWL finals over Eugene. Game 2 tonight
-
And it's SABER ffs, it's not a goddamned cavalry sword
-
Too bad you're not displaying much common sense. Blown saves happen to closers at the best if times. A dink hit there, s***** walk there, bad sequencing .... yeah, he's to blame because he's on the mound and throwing the pitches but just looking at a BS number is never the only important stat for a closer. 60 innings he's only given up 3 HR and 9 walks while striking out 76. That's f***ing dominance. I'll take that in the 9th inning any day of the week. Btw, he blew 6 saves last season, so 4 more doesn't make or break a team's fortunes, though having the worst offense and 3rd worst defense in the AL certainly will.
-
Yeah, you could take Acuna plus... like any of 3 or 4 arms from their system and be pretty solid.
-
Acuna /Allard ?
-
Technically they are Co-Champions with the Palm Beach Cardinals because the league final series was cancelled due to the impending hurricane.
-
Barreto maybe in Oakland? Graveman perhaps...but not like he's a stud, just a steady 4/5
-
A very fair point when you consider the KRate of pitchers throughout the history of the game. Cy Youngs k/9 career was 3.43 and his best season was 5.89. So many more balls were being put in play back then. But, the mound was higher then and the fences were 5 miles away.
-
Pretty sure he'll be a deadline trade next year from the way Shatkins talks about him. Very doubtful they trade him in the offseason unless some team backs up the prospect truck, which is in itself, very doubtful
