    Well sure, hope for it, but when they fall short it really shouldn't be disappointing.
  2. John_Havok
    Using the average needed win total of 83 for the 2nd WC spot, the jays would need to go 27 and 18 over their last 45 games. There's currently 7 teams above them, the 2 best of which would only need to win 24 and 25 games over their remaining schedules, not to mention the other 5 teams that would need between 25 and 27 wins as well. For the Jays to do what they need to do AND have 7 other teams not do what they need to do is virtually impossible, especially given the state of the roster
  3. John_Havok
    It's called hyperbole. Just saying that overtaking 7 teams, even if the gap is only 3.5 games is a monumentally near impossible task

    Apparantly an ankle injury based on the comments to that tweet
  5. John_Havok
    Just need Bogaerts not to be a complete pylon and I should remain top 2
  6. John_Havok
    No doubt. Mathematically possible but very improbable. They could go on a 20 game winning streak starting today and still probably not have a wildcard spot.
  7. John_Havok
    Starting to look like I should have doubled down, though spats could overtake pretty easily
  8. John_Havok
    No kidding ... dammit

    We had one at DH, then he got hurt
  10. John_Havok
    That will teach him to run out a grounder..... God f***ing dammit. I thought I might be able to sneak back up into 6th in the FC but if he's out for a while I'm pretty much f***ed.
  11. John_Havok
    Look up. I added the video

    Speaking on behalf of all Harper fantasy owners.... FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK!
  13. John_Havok
    More variables!
  14. John_Havok
    Well that's kinda what I'm getting at. Dude was hitting those things 400+ feet regularly so take off the 10% increase and he's still hitting a huge amount of dingers pretty much anywhere
  15. John_Havok
    I wonder then (assuming the 10% is accurate), how much of an improvement someone's numbers wouod get over the course of a season? Obviously he wouldn't get the 10% distance boost on every batted ball contact, only the contacts that would qualify as hard contact a a certain range of launch angles. Like, did Bonds go from 30 to 73 HR because of steroids? That doesn't seem logical. 60 to 73? Maybe closer to the truth.
  16. John_Havok
    Pitch velocity doesn't matter tha much, but lunch angle and the air resistance would be needed for sure.
  17. John_Havok
    Lol, now that would be a party.
  18. John_Havok
    Omar, I just tried googling this and failed, but can you find anything that show's how much batted ball distance goes up with say a 2% increase in bat speed, assuming other factors remain constant?
  19. John_Havok
    Yeah Biagini would probably be the better choice as a 5, but I think there's a pretty strong possibility they'll both be in the rotation next year behind Stro, Happ and Sanchez - assuming his delicate lady fingers can figure out how not to blister
  20. John_Havok
    Not eyesight... hand eye coordination...speed of decision making... etc.
  21. John_Havok
    All of which I do!
  22. John_Havok
    They touched on it in some of his links. Pretty much everyone on steroids said they felt invincible while using. It's also proven to help muscle recovery.
  23. John_Havok
    If you find the article and show me they tested actual players batspeed per and post steroid, I'll concede defeat. As I said from the get go, I agree with premise that more muscle mass should equal more bat speed. My only point of contention is the 5% you posted, and the article you posted for support itself initially said 5%, but was then revised and only came up with 3.8%, and that final number came down to multiple assumptions, including estimates on how much kinetic energy was tranferred and how much presteroid weight is muscle mass. Those assumptions would have to be 100% accurate for 3.8% to be factually correct. That's my point. It's a guess. Educated... but still a guess.
  24. John_Havok
    Yeah, likely some teams have called to test the waters so in order to even go beyond preliminary lip service, they gotta try and get him through waivers.
  25. John_Havok
    Having a rough night Spanks? My post had nothing to do with comparing Redmond to Rowley, it was just stating Redmond isn't playing anymore.
