Yes. In the past he had issues with runners on base. He would implode. As a Cubs and Jays fan, thanks Duquette for trading Arietta and Strop for Scott freaking Feldman. Also, special thanks to Peter Angelos for holding Duquette back from interviewing for Shapiro's new job. Can't wait for the Jays to snag Chris Davis in the 2015-16 offseason.

Why do people care who posters cheer for? At least those posters stick to their guns and don't make a new account the moment they're challenged on here.

They keep showing those 2 weird looking guys.

JD and Bau are out of the game.

It should be common courtesy to not knock someone who has a disease that can't be cured.

Parkinson’s disease affects the nerve cells in the brain that produce dopamine. Parkinson’s disease symptoms include muscle rigidity, tremors, and changes in speech and gait. After diagnosis, treatments can help relieve symptoms, but there is no cure.

Kirk Gibson has Parkinson's disease. Maybe we should stop complaining about his broadcasting work?

You're right - May 2013.

Yeah, I became a Cubs fan (still am) too because they happened to be on WGN when I got home from school. I never got interested in the White Sox though. So I have been a Jays and Cubs fan for nearly my whole life.

I think this thread is designed more for the bashing of that forum, not necessarily their fanbase. They delete any new memberships that are outside the states of Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and anything else that could be O's territory. They think Buck Showalter has some holy water he can just sprinkle on his players that make the O's win more games. One poster there even wants Buck as GM. That line of thinking goes hand in hand with their lack of analytical use to evaluate palyers. I'll be the first to admit I don't know too much about the advanced stats, but I keep my mouth shut and don't pretend to know more than I do. That's why I like reading the saber posters here and articles to learn more about the sport. No one fanbase can hold their head above another. There are ******* fans and ******* players everywhere. But that forum is a hole for a few different reasons and we all know it. Hence this thread.

If Smoak is such a good defender, why is there a negative in his DEF column on Fangraphs? (Serious question, maybe a dumb one, but I'm still learning a lot of the current metrics).

2016 in a perfect world where everyone's healthy and the front office stops making awful decison after awful decison (neither will happen): LF - Saunders CF - Pillar RF - Pompey 3B - Donaldson SS - Tulowitzki 2B - Travis 1B - Bautista DH - Encarnacion C - Martin 4 bench spots - Revere and maybe Smoak and two others. I get the feeling Revere will be dealt in the off-season if Saunders breaks camp healthy and playing like himself. AA said Saunders is his LF next year IIRC, but who knows if that will be reality.

If the clubhouse cancer thing was a reality, they had lots of time to trade Valencia for something of value before July 31. Welcome back Josh Thole or Zeke Carerra.

So since you said a week ago that you were done with this board but have since returned, do tell. Have you become any less retarded yet?

Per Wilner. If not thread worthy, move to general discussion.

You'd think someone with 18 accounts spanning over 2 years would have figured that out by now.

You just made one of your vintage errors in this very post. I have a hard time believing a baseball fan just stumbles onto this message board one day and makes over 1000 posts in 2 weeks, while telling everyone what's wrong with this board in the process. Reeks of a not so new poster. You've got serious issues.

1,014 posts in 16 days and tells me I wasted my breath. Metallijay/KIllerSloth/Followthelight/BoneCollector/all the other handles I forget the names to, You don't even hide it well. You make the same spelling and grammar mistakes on each account. Like capitalizing the first two letters of a word when beginning a sentence. I'm guessing you wouldn't vote for North as a mod since he had a very detailed post a while ago showing the patterns in each of your accounts. The tone of the posts are similar too once you've been outed as you start with a very quick, rage fuelled message with multiple spelling/grammar mistakes.

With all due respect, I can't even believe your are allowed to post on this forum with what is now what - account number 9, 10, 11? Let alone telling everyone how this place should be moderated. Pretty bold for someone who joined "July 30, 2015". You complain about insults, yet I've seen you call posters 'idiot' more than once on this account and on all of your others since mid 2013. You're like that serial killer who everyone knows has murdered more people than they know of, only your claim to fame is user accounts on a Blue Jay message board. Seriously, you should be more worried about the possibility of life long incarceration than a message board. You are truly one f***ed up person. While we are talking about this board... Can we at least stop posters from just posting "lol" or something useless to that effect? I mean, we have posters (likely in the age 12-18 range) who clearly have the attention span of a moth and when someone like Olerud or Twisted makes a longer post, the reply from some of these ADD cases is "lol" or "tldr". Is that really better than someone trying to contribute something even if they're out to lunch? There is a much better chance I get something out of a longer post compared to a 3 letter post which is just made to piss off the long winded poster.

Kawa's back up?

Yep. Nothing new here.

81 games a year Toronto knows they won't have rainouts or riots.

Navy

Are you talking about reproduction - i.e. "wow my sister is hot let's make a kid."

Bautista's right but he should shut up.
