    Kind of happy we have Vlad in this line up. Lets get some mo' We needed that....

    Biggio just takes a 2 strike 91 MPH FB on the inner half black....WTF. Its 91.... even if guessing offspeed no chance to foul off to stay alive with RISP?
  3. BigCecil
    We will be lucky to get 1 WAR out of him the whole season. Really need to come back here. Lots of game left if we can hold them. f*** i hate it when scrubs abuse us.

    What puzzles me given the price paid for Berrios 1.5 years, which implies they want to take a run at the 2nd WC this season and hedge against Ray loss in 2022 to make a run next yr, why the FO would not have been even more aggressive in addressing the pen woes earlier? Its not easy pre-deadline to do, and they did bump it with Cimber and Richards etc, but man did we lose a lot of ground via the pen. It just seems inconsistent in terms of approach.

    I think what Nate does in the pen either way is going to be huge good or huge bad. If he has command and can get swing and miss 1-2 IP, thats a massive X factor. In 15 Cecil was unhittable, & Osuna and Sanchez were pretty strong. Had Hendriks too. We needed all of them and after Cecil got hurt, it stung us hard against KC.

    Still and forever pissed off. Revere bashing the trash can with bat in tunnel is all of us.

    Poor choice to throw by Bo. Nice pick but Merrifield is fast. He just has to learn the smart play is to eat the ball sometimes.
  8. BigCecil
    This! We have years of pay back built up after 2015.

    I’ve seen healthier looking zombies on walking dead than that choir leader.

    Didn’t think I’d be so excited and emotional for this return at all. Son feels same. It’s so good they are back in Canada. Whatever happens. Want the fans to get behind them coast to coast. Been a crazy day. Lots of mixed feelings on Berrios deal but pumped and hopeful we can make a sustained run.
  11. BigCecil
    Overpay. Disappointed. Bit shocked.

    Reading 2nd GDT yesterday. Lots of complaints about matz. Can’t say I disagree but curious how he stacks up as a 5th starter in AL. Thinking few teams have much better there. Bottom line we scored 1 run at Fenway and won’t win many games that way with this teams construction.
  13. BigCecil
    Abom. You are not making me feel better tonight. Lol.

    He does. Its not a cinch and will be harder if any injuries, but its hard to bet against him. Still an elite scorer. Father time isn't his friend though. The Nelson Cruz of hockey?
  15. BigCecil
    Fair enough. Trying to figure out the calculations discrepancy with a starter like Robbie Ray has confused me enough. lol fWAR Ray 1.5. bWAR 3.5 Thats like a net 15mm AAV spread. fWAR more FIP based.

    Help me understand the Ovy deal. Greatest goal scorer ever even if he didn't break Gretzkys record, which he will. He will draw eyes for that, but with the cap 9.5 AAV through year 40 seems insane. At least the last two years. Same type of deal that has plagued the Black Hawks.
  17. BigCecil
    His bWAR is 1.5. Old Techno chimp that I am doesn't know how to find out where that ranks in AL relievers? Barnes is 1.8.
  18. BigCecil
    Unimpressive. Will get shelled in AL East.
  19. BigCecil
    lol. Yup. Agree. I looked at his career year by year this am. 2016 was brutal for him after a 3.5 fWAR 2015 WS year. (Pillar's was 3.7 2015 to compare) I'd put the signing kind of in the Dexter Fowler/Sandoval camp lol. Cain and these guys signed some big deals which in a bizarre way came in part from big WS years and hype.
  20. BigCecil
    I have some SDP friends who are fans who were so excited when they signed him to that huge deal after an anomaly 4 WAR 2017. I guess still some hype over the 2015 WS ring. He is a "winner". I thought that deal was idiotic then and now. Just a bad bad signing.
  21. BigCecil
    Ya, speculating on how solid the pen would be with Yates and Merryweather healthy isn't practical. Both had health issues. Hence the 5mm lottery ticket on Yates. Chatwood has good stuff but the BB rate always has been an issue. Hence the 3mm lottery ticket. We love the pen bargain bin, and have done pretty well in there but it bit us this season. Looking for value with pen arms, given reliever volatility is smart, but killed this season for us. They did dump out the cash truck for Springer to make a push. Replacing the 2021 WAR production of Marcus and Ray we got for 26mm is going to be very expensive in 22.
  22. BigCecil
    Its probably not going to be worth the return, but I do think the FO will have to be taking calls on Ray and Marcus with 25% odds to make a 2nd wildcard.
  23. BigCecil
    Almost comical now. Almost. 2021 - the lost Jays season.
  24. BigCecil
    no July 5th 2017....Morosi tweet. At least one i found. the nightengale stuff was later.
  25. BigCecil
    Nightengale yes, but started by Morosi. But Flaherty and Reyes were just thrown up in the speculation around it. Given JD's value in 17 with a year of control left, I can see why there was that kind of return being speculated upon. Who knows. None of it was ever validated. Made some sense at that time for the Cards/Jays too look at though.
