  1. speed on the bases! nice rip Smoak
  2. Chavez looking sharp today. Lets get some runs.
  3. At this point its Trout but 175-200 ish PAs left and lots can happen to the teams. Love JD but way more interested in how the team does. We have had our share of individual awards since 93. f*** em. Lets win some flags that fly forever.
  4. We have been on this roll but its interesting that a lot of our guys have actually been scuffling some at the plate during it. Our pitching is getting it done. Pillar, Martin, Tulo, Revere, Goins have all been struggling a bit and Edwin (who was hot) is missing a few gms.
  5. Have seen a few debates on the board lately about old school evaluation vs sabrmetrics as if its an either or discussion. I'm 50; been a fan since Thurman Munson was a player. Played the game at a really decent level and coach my 7 year old who is a lights out arm already. Love this game. Yet only a few yrs ago I have to admit I remember arguing Cabrera should get the MVP over Trout because of the Triple Crown. In retrospect I SMH at that. I appreciate some of the guys on this Board who take the time to spell things out in rational arguments without being arrogant dicks about it. There are still intangibles that are difficult to quantify imo, but sabrmetrics is the "Uber" of evaluating value in baseball. Its a better mousetrap.
  6. lol. heard it. Some of Wilners callers indicate such a frightening lack of baseball knowledge for a fan base. They go on endlessly about meaningless intangibles and bunting. Barker makes me appreciate Wilner more. Never thought I would say that!
  7. SS....for the Colorado Rockies
  8. Im loving it and all the casual fans jumping back into interest mode after so long. This team is now very good and can go deep imo. Ill enjoy this streak while it lasts but im curious to see what happens to the reinvigorated fans when we lose a few games. Lots of ball left and its a crazy game.
  9. What if Goins had tits? He would be a chick and playing fastball.
  10. Its good stuff. Lots of ball left. There will be some valleys too but I like this team a lot now.
  11. Appreciate Colla contributions (he mashed that ball tonight) but still think we should have kept Danny V. I think he is as good of a hitter (maybe better) and can play a couple of IF positions and gulp....LF. All of them better than Colla which is a very low bar. Colla can really only DH and because of that he needs to hit a ton to stick.
  12. Jays in 1st. Lets stay here one game at time.
  13. Bumping to give some props to RA for another decent outing. Keepin' it rolling.
  14. Thanks for the positive vibes. Gray is excellent but of course we have a chance.
  15. Excellent lol. Barker is shades of Gabby on Blazing Saddles. "Authentic Frontier Gibberish"
  16. Its kind of amazing. In Calgary there is one rapid Jays fan in my company (me) and my CFO likes and follows them some...and a sales guy. Nobody else of 50 people usually care or know at all. Now 25-40% are chatting about the Jays and asking me questions or commenting about them. Bandwagon but im good with it. Its fun. Shades of 92/93 and before that.
  17. I was soooo desperate on the off day for Jays stimulation, I found myself listening to old Blue Jays talks and visiting the old Board. I don't recommend either.
  18. Meh. More neutral on him that that. He is ok. There are worse. His pen mgm is over rated imo. People started saying that in numbers the yr Delabar and Cecil went to the AS game. I think he has made some poor pen mgm decisions this season but at this point he now has more horses down there. Should be easier for him not to f*** it up.
  19. This sounds more negative on him than past posts? He makes some poor decisions (ie use of Colla) but there are worse ayk.
  20. Love Jose but he just isn't a very good D RF cmon Osuna!!
