  1. Zobrist is going to sign for something gross.
  2. Exactly. There's a lot of value in having MLB calibre guys with options. That's what gives you depth.
  3. Same thing really.
  4. I wouldn't mind scrapping it altogether.
  5. Spoiler alert!
  6. Jays might end up looking pretty shrewd for locking up the likes of Estrada and Happ early.
  7. David Cooper and D.B. Coopper, same guy. http://img.timeinc.net/time/photoessays/2008/10_disappearance/disappearance_cooper.jpg http://www1.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/David+Cooper+Toronto+Blue+Jays+Photo+Day+J0ngjVaxgkYl.jpg
  8. I feel like the question that you're asking goes far beyond the realm of sports and it has a lot do with how communication works. Talking isn't just about communicating information. Communicating information accounts for very little of spoken conservation actually. Talking is mostly about reinforcing things like social norms, stratification, identity. If this is a subject that truly interests you, it might suggest taking some classes in linguistics and eventually sociolinguistics. It can be pretty fascinating, revelatory stuff. Or if you want to dive right into the deep end, track down "Ce que parler veut dire" (In English: Language and Symbolic Power) by Pierre Bourdieu. It's one of a handful of books that I credit with having significantly shaped my world view.
  9. Doesn't Thole himself have good framing numbers? Edit: answered by BTS
  10. Luis Lugo
  11. I'm definitely on team Miles.
  12. There's no The Bay here anyways.
  13. I think my problem is that I'm not investing enough. Current pair of jeans is from Old Navy, previous was Kirkland (the Costco brand) and before that, Joe Fresh.
  14. Hunter Pence proposes to gf. http://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/900855
  15. I find it hard to go there and not get annoyed. Their whole service model is like something from the fifties.
  16. Jays don't have an open job right not but they also don't have any real innings eaters younger than Methuselah. This might be worth considering.
  17. Never heard of JNCO's before... Just googled and holy s***!
  18. Lol at me fitting into a pair of H&M jeans. I'm not huge but there's no way anyone past their twenties can squeeze their butt into those.
  19. Where does a man find a decent fitting pair of jeans? A pair that isn't designed to be worn half-way up your ass crack like some wannabe rapper.
  20. Mostly everyone just likes to whine.
  21. I blame sports media. If you get all your information from say Tim & Sid, if you consider that kind of reporting authorative to any extent, what kind of an opinion are you going to develop on the subjects they discuss? It's just such a weak starting point. Communities like this really isolate us from that reality to the point that commonly held opinions are often immediately called out as trolling here when it's just as likely to be sincere and often isn't any worse than what a lot of so called authorities in media are spouting.
  22. This if hilarious but I have to admit I do the same thing. I just have no appetite for telling people why I think everything they believe about baseball is wrong and that would pretty much be the starting point for a any meaningful conversation.
