  1. Has Mark Shapiro signed a significant free agent in the entire time he's been a baseball executive? I'm not counting Kendry Morales' $33 million.
  2. I could go either way on extending them but it seems like Atkins has zero inclination to do so. The reason I say I'm on the fence about extensions is simply because this team sucks so much ass that 2020 is a lost cause anyway and 2021 might merely be a .500 type of season so we might as well grab some high ceiling prospects. If he targets McKinney's or Drury's again though I'll throw a fit.
  3. He's a notorious gambler. I wouldn't put it past him to throw the match to cash in on a bet against himself!
  4. This team is going to suck ass again next year. We need 4 starting hitters, 3 starting pitchers, and an entire new bullpen. Filling out the bench is pretty easy at least. LINEUP C- Jansen 1B- 2B- Biggio 3B- Vlad Jr. SS- Galvis (until Bichette comes up) LF- CF- RF- Grichuk DH- BENCH C- Maile UT- Drury (assuming the team can avoid arb with him because he's a non-tender candidate otherwise) UT- Gurriel 1B/DH- Tellez ROTATION 1. 2. 3. Shoemaker 4. Thornton 5. Borucki BULLPEN lol
  5. So should the guy who thinks Billy McKinney and Brandon Drury are viable big leaguers be the guy who is entrusted to fix this mess? I also don't hold Shapiro with as much reverence as everyone else does. I've never bought into the cult of the GM. There are thousands of people who could do a good job building a team. That said, team owners are so damn stupid that you could certainly do A LOT worse than Shapiro. So I'll stop short of saying he should get canned but he is the boss the and buck stops with him.
  6. It's almost as if you can't put 100% faith in statcast darlings. Plate still discipline matters.
  7. If I had any faith in Rogers hiring an advanced stats aficionado and forward-thinker and not some idiot like Dan Duquette I wouldn't give two shits if they fired Shatkins at this point. I'm not calling for it and this isn't some knee-jerk reaction, I'm just looking at the overall body of work and not seeing a ton of stuff to like. Hiring a dipshit manager, marginal trades like Diaz for Thornton, and basically not partaking in down free agent markets (while giving 5 year extensions to 2 WAR talent) to cut payroll isn't exactly inspiring stuff.
  8. So he lost just short of Jennings' record? He seemed uncharacteristically muted. I wonder if he bet against himself lol.
  9. We are going to suck ass in 2020 too. We need like 4 Starting Pitchers, 4 bats and at least 3 relievers lol.
  10. It's June and as a team we are collectively hitting like Ryan Goins. This is pathetic.
  11. Can't say I had a great time this weekend. Man we suck.
  12. Got my 1993 World Series Championship shirt on. Jays are going to wreck the Rockies' world tonight.
  13. Apparently I did make it on to TV. Was sitting next to this Canadian couple and the girl was holding a "Glad to see Vlad" sign. I'll be damned if I'm going to pour through 3.5 hours of the game to find it though.
  14. Thanks buddy but yeah I live here I go to games all the time. I gotta day though, when the Jay's send their female fans to Rockies games they aren't sending their best lol. Was hoping to meet a nice Canadian girl
  15. Haha yes but what 's the news
  16. 26. when a right handed batter is hitting you might be able to see me. Black jacket
  17. Live scouting report: Edwin Jackson suxxx
  18. Wearing it loud and proud my friend!
  19. Yep, scored some pretty good seats from a friend who has season tickets.
  20. Watch out for the tall handsome guy in Jays gear sitting behind the visitor's dugout! I'll likely be drinking lots of beer as the Jays could be in for a long one as they currently sit as -300 underdogs lol.
  21. Ok so it's simply a matter of you thinking we could acquire a better caliber of prospect of we target hitters instead of pitchers? That makes sense.
  22. Why do you say offensive talent? I know our offense sucks ass but our pitching cupboard is going to be nearly bare once we deal these guys.
