Why was Seitzer's career so short? I didn't realize how great he was. What a hitter. -
Doesn't matter. According to Hurl, injuries are just an excuse. On a more serious note, I don't know if you get what "replacement level" means, but Francisco (1.2 WAR), Lind (1.2 WAR), Gose (1.0 WAR), Tolleson (0.3 in 80 PA), Kratz (0.3 in 70 PA) is NOT a below replacement bench. The only players that have been at or below replacement level are Thole (who only catches for Dickey), Kawasaki (who's only had 8 games) and Navarro (who I agree is terrible, but constantly performs well in clutch situations).
-
Doesn't matter. Irrelevant to this discussion. Can't even mention injury, or else you're just making excuses for AA.
-
Ten teams make the playoffs. There are NOT ten teams out there that have zero holes. This team is very much capable of making the playoffs if everyone is healthy (and yes, that means a healthy Morrow in the rotation), and anyone with a lick of sense will agree with me. And no the Jays don't need three bench players.
-
And, again, what justification is there for the claim that he would miss the playoffs with a healthy team? What proof is there that this roster, if all 100% healthy, would miss the playoffs? You keep asking me why I can't understand that, I can't understand it because it's complete and utter rubbish. "I base that on me being smarter than everyone else"; "Whether it's fact or not it's my opinion"... right, so we're back to what I've been saying all along: that you have absolutely no real justification or basis for your claims. All you have is blind bias from which you're drawing an absolute conclusion, which, with all due respect, is very much irrelevant. This post says nothing, because Hurl disagrees with you. You can't use injuries as an "excuse". He believes that this team IF COMPLETELY HEALTHY is a .500 or below team. You saying that they aren't prepared for injury does nothing to aid his argument, because he thinks they're bad without injuries. If you want to stick up for Hurl's argument (if you can even call it that), you need to tell us why this team is bad even when all 40 men are healthy.

Fact - I don't care about Rogers or AA. Where did all of that come from? This was about whether or not this is a contending team, when did this devolve into a discussion about whether your emotional hatred for AA is justified or not? You said that if this roster was healthy, it wouldn't be more than a .500 team. That's based on absolutely nothing, no facts, outside of you wanting this team to fail because you think that somehow results in AA losing his job. I don't care if you can prove that AA is incompetent, because that isn't what I was debating in the first place; I don't have any reason to waste time talking about AA with someone who blindly hates him. Why don't you back up the claim that this team, if healthy, is .500 or worse?

If you're admitting that you have a completely biased opinion and you're taking absolutely nothing into account outside of the base fact that you hate the front office, then kudos to you, and there's no reason to debate this further. And if my "issues in understanding" were preventing me from seeing that "everything you said is true" in your own warped reality and that we aren't actually discussing the real world here, then thank you for enlightening me.

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img35/2260/1ei.gif Well that proves it. Nobody is forcing you to be a Jays fan, but if you're going to spend your time on a Jays forum and you're going to make posts like that, it doesn't matter if you're a moderator, it's no different than a Yankee or Red Sox troll coming here to provoke people. It doesn't matter if you're a casual fan and look at traditional stats, or if you're a saber guy and look at projections, there's nothing to say that this is a .500 team outside of a bitterness for the terrible Rays season driving you to make an uncalculated assumption. Really the only reason you could have in saying that this isn't a good team is if you bring up the injury concerns, which ultimately makes this whole thing hilariously ironic.

Injured his hamstring or his knee on the way to first base. Lawrie got hit on his hand for the third time in a week and is out with a possibly broken finger.
-
Right, so, stupid and not sarcastic. Got it.
-
Injury excuses? Why, do you disagree with that statement? Were they not in first place when those players went down? Two of their three best bats and their best defender? That's just an "excuse"? That almost looks like a troll job.
-
If I can't tell whether your comment is sarcastic or stupid, then you're not doing it right.
-
Seitzer keeps mentioning that Lawrie is stubborn and won't change his batting stance/swing. Maybe now he'll realize he has garbage hitting mechanics and needs to listen to his coach.
-
I want to see him start. I said it in the off-season, we have space in the rotation and we should use every opportunity to see what we have with Stroman, Hutch and Drabek. The first two have gotten time already, but Drabek is still the odd man out.
-
I had the money already in the list, so it must have been posted.
-
We already knew that, right?
-
Very religious.

Excellent quality stream, way better than vipbox/strikeout: http://blabseal.de/jays/
-
5 pitches to get the first two outs. 32 pitches to get the third out.
-
Yeah it's kinda f***ing annoying that they scored 5 runs in the entire Twins series and somehow swept them for three wins http://i.imgur.com/FA2CI9v.gif Yeah but I think he means the home runs. No matter how good a baseball player a guy is, I think most hitters still cherish hitting home runs more than anything else. Edwin has ridiculous power. I'm pretty sure it was just one guy, the rest were morons.

| On June 19, 2013, the Toronto Blue Jays complete a sweep of the Colorado Rockies and are on absolute fire. The fan base is ecstatic, despite the fact that the team sits in last place in the division. | On June 19, 2014, the Toronto Blue Jays have just been swept by the New York Yankees and are absolutely ice-cold. The fan base is dejected, despite the fact that the team sits in first place in the division. | On Friday, June 20, 2014, in an excellent display of roster management, John Gibbons' Blue Jays make a comeback worthy of the history books, returning from an 8-0 deficit to absolutely annihilating the Cincinnati Reds in a 14-9 romp, bookended by two 3-run blasts by the former Red, Edwin Encarnacion. | The last time June 20 fell on a Friday? This happened. Funny how this universe works sometimes.

I've got no problem doing just that. That's what he means. The xFIP comment was a sarcastic, tongue-in-cheek jab at the saber guys around here.

He got stem cells put into his colon, and as a result, became a more active poster?
