It all evens out haha.

I missed getting Nootbar into my starting lineup by a couple of minutes when I saw Aristides Aquino benched. That's now 3 HR's and 4 RBI's missed with him and Drury benched. Urena did a solid for a spot start - 5.2 IP, 2 ER and 6 K's. Will take that. My starters over the weekend need to pitch well to put some pressure on the ERA category. Down 20K's now which I think is a uphill battle since you still have other starters as well. Still going to come down to the bats IMO.

One of the toughest defensemen and offensive threats on the powerplay as well. Chara was a game changer on the ice. Definitely on the first ballot.
-
I see Sportsnet or Hockey Night hiring him for sure. He has a great personality and will fit well on TV.

GDT: Jays @ Phillies Big 2 game set... Lets Go Sweeping!!!

I own Bass in one of my fantasy leagues. Pissed he wasn't used tonight. -
Judge can be the next Barry Bonds of this decade for the Giants. Along with the DH spot now. He'll bring in the fans and money from jersey sales etc.
-
Yeah like free autographed baseballs, jerseys, bats, or even Postseason tickets for the Yankees. It's not like Judge can't afford it haha.
-
Yeah BTS has the upper edge thus far and with him holding the tiebreak, it's definitely a nice extra cushion. Feels like this matchup is in limbo for me in terms of what I could do. Like you said, I need to take the lead in hits and home runs and hope to catch up in either runs or RBI. He has all the pitching categories locked up. Unless I go crazy and stream a couple of starters and get lucky with some high K performances though its unlikely. BTS can also make this a blowout if he takes the lead in some of the close categories.
-
John Schneider will put him in his place.
-
Trade for him this offseason!
-
Haha love the detail included! Soy sauce stains can be annoying!
-
It can get very foggy and gets very cool late at night. It's comfortable weather for sure, though for warmth and beaches San Diego is far better all year round.
-
I don't see the Rays being able to sign Ohtani. Yankees likely can though especially if they don't resign Judge. If Ohtani wants to stay on the west coast - Mariners, Giants or Dodgers.

The NFL has done a really poor job when handling these situations. Punishments should be more severe. Nobody ever talks about it. If a white sports commentator goes on ESPN and says Lamar Jackson or Kyle Murray are overrated, you'll have Twitter and the woke mob up in arms. It's sad these days that you can't criticize or asses a player anymore based on their skin colour. Say one negative thing about Lamar Jackson and you're seen as a racist.

Same thing has been said about QBs like Baker Mayfield. An offensive coach is also not sold on the impact that new head coach Kevin Stefanski will have on Mayfield: “I think Kevin Stefanski will help Mayfield, but there is a risk Kevin will be so like he was in Minnesota — so close to the vest — that Mayfield’s creativity might not show up. There is a fine balance there. Mayfield is a three that needs to understand how to play quarterback better than just going back and playing street ball.” Link: https://www.dawgsbynature.com/2020/7/28/21345423/cleveland-browns-baker-mayfield-judged-harshly-the-athletic-quarterback-rankings

He's not my first choice obviously, though if nobody else better was available, I would take a flier on him especially if his D is still solid. I don't think he's completely finished with the bat.

General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2022)
jaysblue replied to Grant77's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Haha are the Montreal Expos still playing in the NL East? -
Stanton has been awful since returning from the IL. As a fantasy owner, I know haha!
-
Wouldn't effect American players. They can still go back to the US as long as they're US citizens. Would effect non-American players though since if they signed with a Canadian team, they likely lose their US work visa. Regardless, I expect the US to end their vaccine requirements soon as well.
-
It's about time. Looks like Robbie Ray will be starting at the Rogers Centre haha.

It comes down to how people interpret a certain word. Using the word "Streetball" isn't racist at all. Though some people might associate the term with only a certain color of people and with playing in the ghettos. Even as a kid, myself I played streetball whether it was basketball, road hockey, touch football etc. That's what streetball is haha. When I hear the word streetball, I associate the term with unorganized sports/free-for-all. Whereas you play in a league, with coaches and training, it's more organized in terms of the way you play. Like for example, some kids on my school basketball team when it came to playing organized basketball with a team, running through plays, playing with a ref, couldn't do it. They couldn't follow a structure, call certain plays etc. Whereas when we played at recess or after school casually, with no rules, no coaching etc., some of those kids just dominated. Had nothing to do with skin color. So when I hear the term "streetball" being used in professional sports, it's more describing a player doing his/her own things, not following the structure/play/coach instructions etc.

I agree. Yankees can always open up the cheque book which definitely helps and why some players choose to play there. Also, think it has more to do with the legacy players want to have after putting on those Pinstripes. Some players after they retire want to be remembered playing in the Bronx, winning and being associated with the all-time Yankees greats. The big market as well plays a role if someone likes the spotlight and for endorsements etc. The Yankees brand doesn't just apply to New York - it applies to pretty much all over the globe. If I was a player, the Yankees wouldn't even be near my first choice for the reasons you stated. Wouldn't want to shave my beard haha. Obviously, if they offered me the most, I would sign with them. Though money aside, would prefer playing for many other MLB organizations over the Yankees if I were a MLB player or pitcher.

If Chapman leaves as a FA, wouldn't mind seeing the Jays bring back Josh Donaldson especially if his D is still there!

It's kind of sad now that this PC woke culture has moved into sports. What is wrong with criticizing a player? Like its sad now its come to this, where you can't criticize or make a statement regarding certain players due to their skin colour or else its seen as racism. C'mon! People didn't believe in Tom Brady when he was drafted in Round 6 or when he was a backup to Bledsoe early in his career. A lot of players across every sport are written off early or criticized about some certain aspect in their game. That's sports lmao! Mahomes is probably one of the best QBs in the game today, won't argue that. Though I understand your argument how he "unanimously chosen" as the best QB by the woke sports media. You can still make the case for Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Josh Allen etc. Lets say if Josh Allen leads the Bills to a Superbowl this season, what is wrong with calling him the best QB in the game?

Bring back Cito Gaston. He won two World Series in 1992-1993!
