If he goes on the 60 dl, the Jays will be able to take him off the 40 without losing him, something they should have done even when they did risk losing him. Four catchers on the 40 is not a good allocation of resources.

O.K. I guess you're just an *******. -
This kind of undermines your point about not being a hater.
-
You really have to have an eye on the future to invest in something like this. Most current GMs won't be around by the time there's data worth analyzing. This is the kind of thing that only comes from a certain type of ownership.
-
Maybe but it will take years before they know whether they even know anything. For now, this is merely an innovative way to gather data. For all we know, the data itself might discredit biomechanics altogether.

For most people, it's mere homerism. For Moogy, something something, Queen BTS, something, something.

Are the Rays really worse than anyone else with injured pitcher? IIRC, they had a really good track record previously. Seems like their fortunes in that respect are merely averaging out.
-
I think it's for television. They like to do cut aways when the cup enters the building and that sort of stuff. They might have to change the practice now.

Owned I think?

Make Sure You Listen to Boston Media Tomorrow!!

Wow surprised that confession of a Wilner sex dream went so under the radar. Normally, that's the kind of thing that would derail a whole thread. -
Be nice for the Jays if they did that today.

2015 Blue Jays Draft | Signings, Bonuses and Rumors Thread
KingKat replied to TwistedLogic's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I'd much rather have the socks. -
Tweeting the above would make for a more credible publication.
-
Nope. Never came up. The premise that if you give an older player enough time, he'll do a better job guessing at the pitch is pretty dubious. More time also gives more chance for the pitcher and catcher to change their mind and we don't really know or have a good measure on "pitch guessing ability" in the first place. The whole thing rest on very shaky footing. It's basically just parroting Ortiz's opinion who is a chronic complainer anyways.
-
Yeah, I mean not everything you investigate is going to be a smoking gun. They could have just presented the data, the case for and against the hypothesis and just leave it at that rather then try to force it. I'm sure people would have still been curious to read an article like that and at least it would have come off credible.
-
Yeah it's pretty weak. Seems like they had the idea, did some research, found inconclusive evidence and ran it anyway. You can sense a certain ambivalence in the article. "You can't see a trend but you can see it in individual cases" is pretty weak for a site specializing in analytics.

Jays have Inquired about Tyler Clippard
KingKat replied to TripleB's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Combine the fact that Lawrie seems to be drifting further and further away from offensive competence with the way he's always seemed like a high maintenance player and it's pretty hard to muster much desire to bring him back. Right now, it kind of feels like the Jays got out of the Lawrie business just before the bottom fell out. That might not be the case but let Oakland find that out for themselves. -
Before I did any prep, I thought I might take him at 12 because of hype and what not and then I realized that I don't really like him much more now that I did before and judging by where you got him, the whole league pretty much feels the same. Pretty interesting guy to nab this late though. I don't think his walk fueled breakout is the real thing but that doesn't mean he can't have a real breakout and blowup huge.

Sent my list to all three of you.

Going to be at the Women's World Cup for a big chunk of the day tomorrow. I might send my picks to Spanky or someone else who is already done.
