  1. What happened to Bowden Francis? He threw a good ~10 innings this year after a good summer but he hasn't pitched since.
  2. I know he's an extremely low BABIP guy due to all the flyballs (a lot of infield flies too) but a .051 BABIP entering today has to be at least a little bit unlucky. Those BB and K rates look pretty good. Hopefully he can keep this hot streak going.
  3. So Orelvis has 12 hits this year and 9 of them are homers to go with a triple and 2 singles. He's batting .132 with a .451 slugging for an ISO of .319. This is crazy. Not sure if anyone remembers this guy but he reminds me of former Jays farmhand Ryan Schimpf who had a crazy high launch angle and was an interesting player for a brief period of time.
  4. Great game for all of Big Ross's most recent additions. -Bassitt out dueled Strider with a CGSO. -Whit kicked off the scoring with a single, a steal and then scoring the first run in the 5th. He can hit velocity. -Belt (up to a .727 OPS and climbing!) hit a double in the 7th before being pinch ran for with Lukes which tacked on another run. -Varsho hit a bomb to add an insurance run in the 8th. -Kiermaier was 1-1 with 2 BBs and made a great play to steal a hit, he also was this close to stealing another run with his baserunning in the 5th. He's slashing .294/.363/.451 so far this year.
  5. Lol well we drop 2 games against the Phillies and all I saw were talks of a rebuild during the off day. Fast forward one day later and Chris Bassitt outduels Strider and the Jays are back baby!
  6. Cancel the rebuild! The Jays are good again!
  7. ERAs after tonight Gausman- 3.38 Kikuchi- 3.35 Bassitt- 3.49 Manoah- 4.83 Berrios- 4.91 (3.23 FIP)
  8. It depends how good the Astros are this year. This is probably the weakest team they have had in a long time after a quiet offseason followed by some big injuries. If they come in around 87-88 wins like Fangraphs projects then I think the other teams have a chance, Rangers and Angels included. The Mariners could get back in it too but they have some major issues with their lineup and depth. I think the Rangers and Angels pose more of a threat.
  9. We hosed the Mariners bad
  10. Oh wow who dug this one up? I gotta say, I'm looking pretty damn smart in this thread if you ask me.
  11. Amen! Brought this up last week but I had to throw in some Biggio and Jansen comments on top of it so everyone ignored it lol
  12. He looks like he's a bartender at the worst dive bar you know.
  13. Agreed. Both teams could make additions if they stay in it until the trade deadline. With the 3 WC spots that's certainly possible. The Orioles have plenty of prospect capital (though their fanboys on this board won't be able to jerk off to them having the #1 farm system if they trade too much of it away!) and the Red Sox presumably have money. But 2.5 months is an eternity away in MLB and they are going to have to get by with s*** rotations until then.
  14. Now until June 19th is one GAUNTLET of a schedule. ELEVEN straight series against teams with realistic playoff aspirations. No off days until May 29th and then another on June 12th and that's it. If we can get through this part of the schedule, things softens up BIG TIME both before and after the ASB. Tons of games against garbage teams. We don't really face another GAUNTLET until the end of the season when we play 12 straight games against NYY and Tampa. So the key is to play some winning baseball (anything over .500) over the next 5 weeks. If we can do that we will be in great shape, even if we end up 5-7 games out when it's done. They'll be plenty of time to make up ground and the schedule sets us up to do it.
  15. The village idiots are talking about a rebuild lmao
  16. Reported for posting about politics
  17. Yeah the velo is one thing but he's lost so much break on the slider. This whole thread shows what's going on but I'm sharing the most relevant tweet. The slider just isn't breaking. Surely this can be fixed midseason and he can be a 4.00ish ERA pitcher the rest of the way.
  18. Good choice Spanky. I like that far left one too.
  19. I don't think there is any "rape drama" though. He wasn't even there! Total and complete vindication. Bauer is different because he basically did what he was accused of, it was just consensual (according to him). But even consensually it was still pretty weird and the DA simply decided not to bring charges. Totally different circumstances.
  20. So I take it they do daily rankings?
  21. How willing are you guys to play the pitching matchups on a daily basis? Mookie Betts has 2B eligibility in my league so I've got a ton of flexibility. So today I'm thinking of playing: -JJ Bleday, lefty batting cleanup vs. RHP Clay Holmes in Yankee Stadium (good for power hitting lefties) -Alex Kiriloff, lefty batting cleanup against RHP Smyly at home Instead of: -Marcus Semien, righty batting leadoff vs. RHP George Kirby -Hunter Renfroe, righty (not sure of lineup position yet) vs. LHP Framber Valdez (he's a lefty but his splits don't seem to matter much) What do you guys think of making lineup decisions like this? Semien and Renfroe are bon a fide fantasy players, Semien especially, but they both have tough pitching matchups. Bleday and Kiriloff are upside guys but they have far better matchups. Curious to what people think.
  22. Surely not. He's been cleared of all wrongdoing as he wasn't even there. I've argued about Bauer enough to last me a lifetime but Araiza's situation is a little bit different than what Bauer went through.
  23. It would have been tough for the Bills to take on that kind of distraction. Now that's he's been cleared they should take him back. But it seems like they like their punter now and have signed him to an extension so maybe it's best for him to move on to another team.
  24. Braves are probably the best of a bad bunch but they’ve worn similar unis like that before. Angels are okay. But they all pretty much suck. I’m glad the Jays aren’t participating. Another good decision by Shapiro.
