    Font! Never doubted you.

    need to limit the damage here.
  3. saskjayfan
    too late...should have had somebody up already
  4. saskjayfan
    get somebody up

    That was a funny look by Adames. He's celebrating and then looks over and sees Shrek looking at him and freezes. I don't think Rowdy was enjoying the celebration.

    At a boy Teo...come on Lourdes. Time to get things going.
  7. saskjayfan
    Kay looking good again...the future is bright indeed.
  8. saskjayfan
    at a boy Cavan!
  9. saskjayfan
    s*** luck for Randal
  10. saskjayfan
    That's a nice comp...when I said he had 40 homer power, I meant he had the power and skill to actually accomplish the feat.
  11. saskjayfan
    Come on Bo!

    hit it off the end of the bat...didn't even get the sweet spot and he still put it out. That's big boy power.
  13. saskjayfan
    sweet...we need some breaks....an error..but it was a hot shot.
  14. saskjayfan
    My boy Rowdy! I'm telling you he's got 40 homer power.
  15. saskjayfan
    It's a shame that your hit tool is good and you split the outfield, but you're too fat to make it to 2nd.
  16. saskjayfan
    Oh it was...I'm trying be positive.
  17. saskjayfan
    Slow runner, not running on the pitch one out and he probably should throw to 2nd. It was a mental error.

    We have tons of payroll flexibility. 53 mil committed next year...2022 is 35 committed. My issue is Roark blocks young players next year. I'd be fine if they used him as a swing guy next year, but will they. They should sign the best starter they can with Ryu, free agent and Pearson at the front and Thornton, Kay, Borucki, Hatch filling in the final 2. 12 mil is an expensive swing man and they probably start him in the rotation next year.

    We're the old guys. Stieb was the first guy that came to mind too because he did it in back to back starts.

    Oh my god. 528 plate appearances split over 3 years is not a big enough sample size to conclude anything. Player development is an actual thing. The growth in Rowdy is there, you're just too busy looking at numbers 2 and 3 years ago. He is fitter this year, his swing path is very good. His plate discipline is improved. You refute these assertions with data from the past. He's made adjustments to his body and his at bats. There are tons of players who went from being not so good in their first 500 to 1000 ABs to being very good players. Rowdy doesn't even have a full year of at bats yet. My opinion does not change from game to game. I came out and said he was a good hitter when his numbers were awful. His numbers still don't look that great. Give it time. A guy that hits more fly balls than grounders and looks like this has a chance.

    so the spring training that was a couple weeks ago...gotcha....Charlie Montoyo's decision to have a number 9 hitter bunt...no biggie. Charlie Montoyo using the bunt in tons of other situations where it wasn't warranted. Complain away. Charlie Montoyo's abysmal line up construction. Complain away. Charlie Montoyo's bullpen usage. Complain away. I'll give Charlie a pass on the other night.

    Tellez numbers improved drastically in one game. He would have completely turned those numbers around if his last foul ball had been 3 inches to the right and hit the foul pole for his 2nd home run. Still 3 for 5 with 2 doubles and a homer is a good start.
  23. saskjayfan
    I'm not going to assume Jansen is a bad bunter, and I'm not going to assume he's slow as s***. In fact I'll go with the numbers on this one. His sprint speed last year was 27.3 and 27.9 the year before which is above league average sprint speed.
  24. saskjayfan
    Your savage take down of asking your number 9 hitter who handles the bat well, but is batting .161 and turns the lineup over for your number 1 and 2 hitters. Give me a break. You said Jansen isn't a practiced bunter in your post yesterday. Players all practice bunting. For all you know he's a very good bunter. I'm sure the coaching staff has an understanding of his skill. Your calculation also failed to recognize the opportunity for a defense to make a mistake and the bunter actual could get to 1st safely. Charlie has given you glaring errors. Sacrifice bunt success ratio is 80% with a good bunter. The play you are so up in arms is probably taking things to the 5th decimal point. The decision to bunt or not to bunt in that situation didn't really make a difference. Charlie blows, but not because of his decision to bunt yesterday.

    Thornton sucks as a starter....I'd give Borucki a chance. He showed well as a starter. His stuff looks better now than when he was pretty good as a starter. He needs to get another look. Usually a guy has to fail as a starter before he's moved to the bullpen.
