  1. He can't hit with his cage/mask. It throws him off his game. Gonna have to wait until he gets rid of it. Then again, he could be permanently ball-shy. It's happened to a lot of players after getting beaned.
  2. Not sure if he intentionally cheated or not, but the odds suggest he probably did. Regardless, I feel bad for the guy. His opportunities were already pretty limited, and this coupled with his bad starts, probably sinks his chances. So, he maybe takes home $300,000 total in his entire MLB career, when he came so close to really cashing in. I'm a lot more sympathetic to a fringe guy taking steroids to stay in the game. It's the difference between $1,000,000 a year and $12/hour. It's the guys like Braun, and Bonds that I don't get. They're already good players, but they need to cheat to be the best.
  3. No way we finish .500 in one run games with the ever-astute John Gibbons running the show, the only manager in the modern era to get into fist fights with two of his players in the same season.
  4. Oh, is this a drop down to 20 guys league? Shoot.
  5. What is this? Pinch-hitting for Goins? Is this some new baseball managing tactic from the future?
  6. If anyone has a closer they don't mind parting with, I would be interested. Have picks, prospects and 2nd basemen.
  7. Trade: Adam Gets: Max Kepler Dinger Gets: DJ Lemahieu
  8. Dinger's been taking shots at me all day. I'm in the mix. Team is looking good.
  9. That's so weird. Everytime I try to type boobies, i type bobbies.
  10. I thought the Bay of Pigs went pretty well.
  11. Tiers should be symmetrical. Can't have two tiers below average and three above.
  12. I think Trump is done. I'd trade him while he still has value. I'll send you a trade offer, once I select a few choice trade pieces off the waiver wire. Don't worry though, I'll be sending you at least six players for just your one.
  13. I kind of expect KingKat and NJH to show up to the game in frilly dresses to show solidarity with all the women whose feelings have been hurt by Gibbons' comments.
  14. Not saying that particular instance warranted a bunt, but I think there are times when a bunt makes sense. Other factors: Defense of third baseman. Frequency of previous bunts (if no bunt for a long time, then odds of success and safe-all-around increase).
  15. Maybe they'll give him the Escobar treatment. Have him to do an apology tour and then get rid of him anyway.
  16. It also doesn't account for the chance the bunt is extra successful (nobody gets out). It also doesn't take into account the hitter at the plate. I think it's closer than you think. It also doesn't take into account the difference between 8th/9th inning pitchers and the rest. Of course, no one learns to bunt anymore, so even if there is a time when it makes sense, so it's a moot point.
  17. Saunders won't bad leadoff. Gibby logic says that anyone likely to hit more than 15 home runs should never hit leadoff, because you don't want to hit solo home runs. Key attributes of a Gibby leadoff hitter are: 1) Speed. 2) Batting average. 3) Lack of power. 4) Ability to take walks.
  18. He's not actually that bad at defense. It can definitely be argued.
  19. I thought it was pretty good.
  20. Alright, I've had multiple people contact me telling me they can't make that date now, as things have come up. If it was just one person, I would say too bad at this point, but there's been a few. So, we're going to postpone it by a week to Thursday March 31st. The good news is that this gives others a chance to join to bring our numbers up. The more people we get in the league, the better, and things always get more active in the forums now that baseball is upon us. Currently, these are the people that have signed up through the interface: aSelvana CanadianSportsJunkie Condor13 FrozenRopes GoldBull Gorlak JFD LettheBallFly Mahhface McDude Nafro TBJ12 Thomas Malthus Wanderer YorkshireBlueJay 15 Total Players confirmed. I'll send out the draft order next Monday, at which point, we won't be accepting any new players.
  21. The goal of a publicly traded company is to make money. If you want to maximize your chances of winning a title, you need an eccentric billionaire who makes his baseball team his own little vanity project.
  22. People always tend to think that Raoul and and Fidel are one and the same. But Fidel had become bitter and paranoid, (probably due to the many CIA assassination attempts). Raoul is much less interested in 'winning' and much more interested in improving the lives of his people. When the dust settles, it will be Raoul that is remembered as the true hero of the Cuban revolution.
  23. I really don't understand any of this. When Gibbons was let go the first time, nobody came knocking on his door. It's not like he's in demand. If he isn't managing the Jays, he gets lucky to find an MLB 3rd base coach job, so not sure where all this negotiating leverage Gibbons seems to have, is coming from.
  24. Yeah, I think most of us knew he would pick Pillar months ago. He's one of those old school morons who thinks it's critical that the leadoff guy can steal 20 bases.
