  1. He is the worst interviewer I've ever heard after Scott Oake. Barry Davis, Arash Madani, Kevin Barker, Jeff Blair, Wilner are all really annoying and terrible and yet people think Buck Martinez and Pat Tabler are bad. Let's start with the bigger issues.
  2. Ya for sure (a few weeks later). Beltre is a hall of famer IMO no doubt and isn't slowing down as much as people think.
  3. lol he was good for a short period. That was maybe the worst team ever. Dave Berg was one of the Jays best hitters for a stretch that year.
  4. It is the GD thread. Talking about pitch selection is more valuable than 99% of the posts. Spanky is probably more drunk than the rest of us.
  5. These guys aren't rocket scientists (see Ned Yost, etc). Sometimes the gameplan is poor and it's easy to see. Martin might not be a great game caller.
  6. Disagree. I'm happy with this refreshing non xFIP or extremely casual based evaluation of a pitcher.
  7. Well that's what an ace should do. 2 on nobody out and throws it by the guy.
  8. Yes. This is why it's retarded to pretend like xFIP over a start or even a few starts is the bible on how well a guy threw the ball.
  9. Great news. It's been all positives from him so far, let's hope it keeps up.
  10. Was there a worse catcher the Jays had that got regular playing time? Kevin Cash comes to mind, but at least he was capable defensively.
  11. A lot of that seems like speculation despite a few quotes. Clearly FIP etc and park factors are more important now, but I'd like to see what every voter thinks. I don't know everyone who votes but you'd imagine some who voted for Kluber might say the ERA was close and he had a few more wins. I really highly doubt Sale can win with a whole run higher in ERA than a guy like Keuchel especially if the Astros win the division.
  12. That's true, but he also had a much lower ERA than Verlander that year. Wins are clearly less important (maybe irrelevant now perhaps) but ERA is still important to many voters.
  13. Yes. I get that it's not 2005 anymore, but a full run differential in ERA is probably enough to sway voters. Remember in 2012, when David Price won over Felix and Verlander? ERA and wins still matter a bit for many of the voters. Luckily the last 2 years have lined up where the best pitcher has also had plenty of wins and strong peripherals on top of their ERA.
