    Of course Gibbons stuck him in the outfield
  2. IronLadle
    You hit your 5 best hitters in a row Travis, Tulo, Donaldson, Bats, Encarnacion - is the order I'd hit them in. It doesn't really matter, the extra PA from the leadoff position to the 3 spot will be marginal.
  3. IronLadle
    Hitting Travis lead-off is a hundred times better than hitting him 9th

    There a team full of Bonifacio's

    Hutch has only had 6 quality starts in 22 games started, where as Sanchez has had 5 in 11 starts. If Hutchison's IP were higher I might agree with you about his ERA, but imagine how high is ERA would be if Gibby left him in. Also Sanchez cut his BB rate quite a bit in his last few starts and he hasn't walked a batter out of the pen - so he can throw strikes, Sanchez doesn't need to paint the corners to be effective. But Hutch does.
  6. IronLadle
    Yeah but Sanchez has a ground ball rate over 50% where as Hutch has a ground ball rate under 40%. Sanchez will get more double plays and give up less extra base hits. You don't have to strike out everyone to be effective, inducing weak contact works just as well and keeps your pitch count down.

    Reyes would field well enough for a pitcher
  8. IronLadle
    I didn't think it was that hard to understand, but you can't attribute poor defense because all three pitch for the same team - so the defence is the same for everyone. Claiming both Dickey and Buehrle are elite defenders is also a stretch considering they're pitchers and don't field many balls.
  9. IronLadle
    I agree it's no mystery to why Hutch has pitched less innings, he struggles to get through the lineup 3 times. I'd say the infield defense is above average considering Martin, Donaldson and Tulo have all won a gold glove. You make it sound as if Dickey and Buehrle are making 5 or 6 outs a game with there defense. Like I said before Dickey probably has the most wild pitches and passed balls so I'd hardly say Hutch is the unlucky one.
  10. IronLadle
    Are you saying that the extra 20 innings are coming from the amount of balls in play Dickey and Buehrle field?
  11. IronLadle
    Martin throws out about 40% and I'm sure Dickey leads the team in wild pitches and passed balls. Shutting the running game doesn't account for why Buehrle and Dickey have both pitched 20 more innings in the same amount of starts.
  12. IronLadle
    Hutch has a better FIP and Sierra than both Buehrle and Dickey, yet Hutch has easily been outperformed by both pitchers. Hutch has only thrown 118 Innings and Buehrle and Dickey close to a 150 each, there is only about 30 - 40 pitchers each year who pitch over 200 innings. It just seems weird that these advanced stats can't accurately evaluate performance between the 3 - when it's pretty simple.
  13. IronLadle
    I hate the one game playoff anything can happen, but Stroman might be back as well which probably makes the Jays the best team on paper.
  14. IronLadle
    At this point I'd pick up his option, at least you know Dickey will give you 200 IP
  15. IronLadle
    Sorry Latroy! FYSMC Gibby!
  16. IronLadle
    never doubted Latroy for a second
  17. IronLadle
    wish gibby would have went with someone else here
  18. IronLadle
    It's weird how overlooked IP gets, it might be one of the more important stats.
  19. IronLadle
    At the moment it's pretty easy, Dickey's been pitching pretty well - Hutchison has been terrible and Estrada's been decent
  20. IronLadle
    The starting rotation is Stroman and Hutchison, possibly Dickey if his option is picked up. AA traded all our young pitchers who are close to mlb ready and the farm system is no where near as strong to make trades.
  21. IronLadle
    I think the trades have been stupid, but at the same time I'm really excited. If they can make the postseason they have as good of chance as anyone at winning the World Series. 2016 however doesn't look good. Watched the trade deadline coverage on MLB and they kept saying "2015 Blue Jays"
  22. IronLadle
    The issue is depth and how AA continues to trade it away for big name players who don't improve the team that much. This guy makes trades like a 13 year old playing video games.
  23. IronLadle
    Tulo has a war of 1.2 this year and Reyes has the exact same. Tulo played 91 games last year, 126 the year before and 47 before that, at least we were finished with Reyes in 2017. Let's take a look at the blockbuster trades we've made and what it cost us, we are currently left with Buerhle, Thole, Dickey, Donaldson and Tulo and in order to get those guys we gave up: Synder Henderson Alvarez Descalfini Nicolino Kendal Graveman Nolin Hoffman Castro Tinoco Hech Marisnik D’Arnaud Beccarra Reyes Lawrie Barreto
  24. IronLadle
    This is a trade that makes no sense, I don't know how this buys him more time.
  25. IronLadle
    You won't get Harvey for Tulo, but I would in a second
