    Yea Skenes is on another level. Tied going into the 7th with both starters out, I'd take that
  2. Nexii
    Oddsmakers have this one pretty much 50/50. Shows you how much an elite pitcher can carry a team

    We're ranked 28th in starting pitching WAR this season :/. Feels like both Bassitt and Berrios really are tiring late in the season. Are there any good stats out there how much the extra day rest helps? Often wondered if that extra day is worth more than having to dilute the starting lineup
  4. Nexii
    Bassitt has been slightly better, so it's probably his rotation slot. Berrios being back next year I think plays less of a factor given they are in a playoff race. That's if they go 5 man rotation which I think they should. The bye is just too important to shoot for over being nice

    Yea feels like Loperfido situation again, tough decisions to be made Looking at most teams with better pitching they either have 3 or even 4 guys pitching like Gausman (good, not great) OR one really elite starter that's elevating the SP WAR. Also our #5 spot has been an absolute black hole. Scherzer is coming back strong though so it might not be that bleak.

    I mean Berrios/Bassitt are fine as backend starters. On pace for 2 WAR. The problem is we don't have any elite pitching, just a bunch of average guys. Subtracting Green and Francis, we're still league average in pitching. Shows how much the lineup has carried this team, we'd be .500 with an average lineup

    IMO no, That opens a bigger can of worms. It's just part of the risk of very aggressive baserunning. They've made the bases bigger which helps

    Straw must have read all the comments here yesterday saying he couldn't hit
  9. Nexii
    With 2 outs you gotta try
  10. Nexii
    People will still say he's not clutch. Even though his RISP/high lev is fine

    Better example, MLB buried Pete Rose for the same. Even though MLB has gotten in bed with gambling companies, I lean to them still taking this stuff seriously. What happens to Clase and Hoburg in the long run will be the barometer
  12. Nexii
    So what's the fame cutoff? Clase was a pretty big name and it seems like they're coming down hard on him

    Ohtani definitely knew more than he let on. The story wasn't consistent and moreover, it just didn't add up. You don't spend 24/7 with someone and not have some idea. However admitting to anything can have legal ramifications, and so he suffered a big PR hit instead. That said, I don't have the feeling that whatever Ohtani did know, that it is without a doubt into accomplice territory. The bar is pretty high for going off to prison for many years. If his Ippei really was innocent it would have come out in court. Even for a few million payoff I don't think I'd want to rot in prison for 6 years.
  14. Nexii
    My gut tells me the truth is somewhere in between. Ohtani knew about Ippei, but not the depth of how degenerate the gambling was. You can't spend that much time with someone and not know something. I think that's the part that people aren't buying. At the end of the day though you're not responsible for others crimes, unless there's strong evidence of being an accomplice.

    Re: Joe Carter, I never knew he did this way back. Up there with Sidd Finch
  16. Nexii
    Lol why would they bunt, just stand there and take a walk
  17. Nexii
    IBB always backfires
  18. Nexii
    Yea I tried to explain why for me it's gotta be Doc. It isn't just about being the best. It's the overcoming adversity angle, which is kind of my own life story. My aunt and cousin both said Joe Carter (to my surprise). He wasn't the best on the championship teams of 92-93, but he was the heart and soul of the team. Just charismatic and always upbeat. It was so poetic that he was the one who made both of the final outs.
  19. Nexii
    Well we are second in the league in doubles. We might not have home run power but that's something. It's probably the case that more line drives is better for most players. The fly ball revolution only worked for players that have a lot of power, IMO

    Personally I feel it's Halladay. I didn't want to be first to reply on my own thread. Yes, highest WAR as a Jay but it's not just that. It's how he made Jays games exciting for teams that just weren't exciting for his entire career. How he came back from being the worst pitcher in MLB to the best. And yea, the drug stuff. Well, I'm more forgiving. He did dumb things on painkillers but let's not forget he crippled himself for us, the fans. Only Halladay had the presence of mind to pitch through the kind of pain he suffered and still be elite. For me, it just adds to the narrative. Hopefully retired players get better help because of his legacy. The hat thing idk I think it's a nothing burger. He was inducted posthumously so we'll never know how much family played a role vs his own wishes.

    It's crazy we're now #1 in offense (tied with NY really in wRC/wOBA), and #1 in defense (easily). If our pitching wasn't so mediocre we could be 5 games up on every other team, 105 game pace or something like that
  22. Nexii
    I was watching a YouTube video where the author gives their opinion on each team's most loved player. Not necessarily the best, though it could be. For many franchises it's obvious. The Jays are one where I feel it's more debatable. So who do you think is the most loved Blue Jay of all time and why?
  23. Nexii
    There are too many fans on this board who would be happier if we were in last place than where we are now.
  24. Nexii
    Pitch wasn't even a strike, whew.
  25. Nexii
    Yea I don't really get it either tbh. They project similarly offensively for what it's worth. Sidegrade, maybe it's more injury depth? But he only plays 1B (2B/3B a long time ago) so it's not even much depth
