    Ok we can use that one but it has the Orioles finishing even worse with 75.7 wins. They're not a very scary team and they won't be until ownership shows that they are willing to spend money (and I doubt they ever do).

    Going to have to take both the team and insurance company's side in this one lol. The guy is a walking IL trip.

    Ha I remember my dad doing this same thing with football games when he couldn't watch. The original Tivo.

    Well, that's one way to characterize Fangraphs projections. Not sure I read them the same way. Yanks - 91 Wins Jays- 88 Rays- 88 Red Sox- 83 Orioles- 78 I don't think Kyle Gibson and Cole Irvin are going to keep them as competitive as you think. The 78 wins is basically the exact same team they were last year, they just got lucky on their Pythagorean record. Since they didn't make any adds of any significance it makes sense that they are the same team again this year.

    Kyle Gibson is the Orioles opening day starter lmao They suck and will be battling it out with the Red Sox for 4th place

    Thank god. More like Gross-Ass if you ask me. Dude sucks and I was tired of hearing about us signing him. Jays have about 4 better internal options including Otto Lopez.
  7. Terminator
    Are you mad? lol
  8. Terminator
    Don't forget Nate Pearson (lol) and Mitch White. I agree on the 2nd half and add Ryu to the list too.

    Small win on McGriff. We can partially claim him now and I fully intend to do so. If I were the team I'd have a special day for him and would put him on the Level of Excellence just to stake our claim if nothing else. Glad Rolen chose the Cards over the Phils or no cap. Phils are on my HoF s*** list and we all know why.

    I agree with everyone saying the SP depth is a problem, I've said the same thing. But I also agree with Laika and have said that Atkins likely knows it's an issue but it's also an issue for every other team in the league outside of maybe a couple so there isn't a ton that can be done about it now. I think Hurl is the one who said that if one of the big 4 gets hurt we'll just make a trade at that point and I agree. Just going to have to accept it for now. So pucker up and pray Kikuchi is a serviceable #5 this year.

    Like Hurl says Europe has money and they like American culture enough that it's a worthwhile endeavor to try and expand there. MLB is never going to be huge there but if MLB can just get 10% of Europe to have an interest in MLB it's worth it. England would be the most natural target but they are a cricket country. They are the most closely linked to American culture though so they are an obvious target. Australia is in a similar boat even though it's not Europe. And like Laika alluded too, their sports suck. No reason baseball can't become more popular than handball. South American countries like Colombia and Brazil make a ton of sense as well.
  12. Terminator
    It oddly never caught on in Europe other than in England.

    I'm not going to play but William would definitely jump at the chance if you want me to ask him.

    This team has the franchise record for wins with 99 and was one win away from the World Series but they aren't often talked about amongst the current Jays fandom. Do any of you who were around for the ride back then have anything you'd like to share about the team and it's playoff run? I have so many questions. Did the city of Toronto catch baseball fever during this year? What was the team good at? What was their weakness? How was Jimmy Key so effective with a 3.6 K/9?

    Maybe we should give Pendleton the honors and he can start a new thread with a player of his own choosing. (This is my way of having someone else do the math for me.)
  16. Terminator
    This was a great thread and I'm sad it's ending. Can we just restart it with a countdown to the regular season?

    If anyone outside of Canada and the state of Minnesota actually cared about hockey then Gretzky would be a top contender for greatest athlete of all time. As it stands he's merely the greatest hockey player of all time. But if I'm reading this right I think you're just trying to point out some interesting facts to show that it might be closer than people think rather than actually making the case that Howe is better.
  18. Terminator
    Would be hilarious to do that right after Bo's goodwill extension lol

    Stroman should sign the 6'8'' 120 pound McKenzie to an HDMH endorsement deal. He can head the Weight Doesn't Measure Heart branch of the brand.

    True. Once China annexes Taiwan they can go all in on America's precious pastime. Just use Taiwan as a factory state which produces nothing but microchips and baseball players. Those worried that Tik Tok is rotting American minds just wait until all the best baseball players are Chinese. Game over.

    The way they have it set up now is the most realistic way to do it. Pitcher injury is scary and real and every pitcher has their limits as a result. Since everyone is playing somewhat competitive baseball in the spring anyway it's the perfect time to have a somewhat competitive international tournament. It'll never be anything more than that nor should it. And frankly baseball just isn't a great international sport anyway. It's basically played in North America and Japan. Sprinkle in South Korea and a couple of South American countries who could field subpar teams and that's it. The rest of the world, including parts of North America, plays cricket. I think cricket has 5 times the international following that baseball does. Baseball is just barely an international sport.
  22. Terminator
    Of all the crazy s*** in this post I think the craziest is the idea of having China and Taiwan joining up to make a team lmao
  23. Terminator
    No I think the OF defense would still be much better. IT just wouldn't be the Top OF in baseball like it is now. Varsho >>> Lourdes
  24. Terminator
    I wonder where we rank in terms of team defense? We've got two elite CFers and an average CF starting in the 3 OF spots. 2 excellent defensive Catchers (when factoring in framing). An all-time great 3B and 2B will be manned by good defensive players too. At 1B we have the reigning Gold Glove winner for whatever that is worth. Really the only spot we suck at defensively is SS but he can only go up from where he's been. This has to be a Top 5 defensive team, maybe THE top defensive team.

    Danny Jansen is in the best shape of his life. https://torontosun.com/sports/baseball/toronto-blue-jays/blue-jays-catcher-danny-jansen-fit-to-be-a-force-at-the-plate
