    I'm in the minority I think but if I am hungry for advanced stats, I can look them up myself. If anything I think it is fun to be part of a minority who looks at these things and analyses that kind of information. Are you really that keen to have everybody calling into Wilner trying to spew out all kinds of advanced stats? Baseball broadcasts where people repeat themselves or talk about RBIs is fine by me.

    Would not throw the team under the bus, just Shapiro. Team didn't have fade this quick. Shapiro is shrewd but just did not have the creativity of AA. Not what people want to hear but at least AA had as much passion as the players.

    AA acquired farm talent at will. This team is certainly going to go on a downhill turn but at least prospectz.

    Not an unreasonable post. People here more excited about Pearce than they would be about EE. This regime was brought in to cut cost, determined during the first half of the 2015 season. Then AAs team turned the whole outlook of the framchise around. Now we have just had a great season on the field, in attendance and in TV ratings. These shrewd moves should be exciting if they are to save money for a big acquisition. We just lost two franchise players. If you aren't going to bring in at least one stud you'd better make the playoffs or the fan base will dwindle quickly.

    Should have taken it. Won't get much more than that.

    Error by Odor with Bush on the mound to lose the series is perfect baseball karma.
  7. fireballW
    Nah

    I know relievers are good and all but this is now the second playoffs in a row when Gibbons keeps taking out starters early even when theybare doing just fine. Im not usually a Gibby basher but did the same thing all last playoffs too. He really tries to over-manage in the playoffs and it is pretty annoying.

    Really odd to me the players that seem to get some hype on here. Other shortstops that are just as good and nobody seems to want them but now a bunch of times this year Ive seen people talking up Crawford. I don't get.

    Big day for Profar. Got his 5th start in LF today making him eligible at 1B, 2B, 3B, SS and OF for this year and next.

    Everytime AA emptied the system it was back within a year/year and half. That's what drafting for talent and a big scouting crew can do.

    The more doctors I talk to in my life the more obvious it is that if they dont know something they just guess. Doctor's say pitching less will lead to less injuries... well no crap.
  13. fireballW
    Sanchez has lost it. Another example of looking at pitch counts instead of how the pitcher is looking on the mound.
  14. fireballW
    Would be a killer lineup.

    It is VERY unlikely Jose would waive his ntc but I think it would be a pretty sweet move to trade Bautista and trade for Reddick, assuming we would get star prospects back for Bautista.
  16. fireballW
    Would be pretty sweet to get both.
  17. fireballW
    Smart decision. Otherwise what is the point of having a no trade claise if everyone just expects you'll waive it for nothing.
  18. fireballW
    Why should championships even be a goal for everyone? It is their job and a sweet one. I don't see any reason to move to a place you think you would be less happy.

    Not everyone has money as their first priority, especially when they are already multi millionaires.
  20. fireballW
    Wth are you talking about. Toronto is his best chance to earn more money in free agency.
  21. fireballW
    Doesnt he have a no trade? Why would he accept a trade when we know his loyalty lies mostly with himself only. Toronto is a great hitters park and if he wins with Toronto it will make him look the best.
  22. fireballW
    Umm AA got plenty of value out of waivers. More than what Benoit will provide. Like Benoit though, nice move.
  23. fireballW
    Agree. Like Revere for Storen.

    Medical caution to the wind? Nah. Ive looked it up extensively a couple years ago and although there are a lot of varying opinions, I came away believing that limiting an MLB pitcher by 30-40 innings in a year isn't going to save him from injury in enough cases to warrant doing it. I think the practice of limiting innings began a bit ago before the sabr era and that a lot of coaches and managers are now afraid to go against it because everyone will point the blame at them, even though we have had teams where basically our whole rotation has gone down in previous years. It ia not just saying throw caution to the wind. I really believe youd get more out of an asset like Sanchez by allowing him to just pitch, under the assumption you can trust him to let you know if he gets fatigued. Pitching while fatigues is a big risk from what I understand. If he feels good, he should start basically.

    That's what the statistics show. At least it was when I researched it a couple years ago. Wasnt even close.
