    If you go back to the Stroman trade thread which most of us (me included) did not like at the time, it was Kay that was the issue most had, if I recall. That trade always hinged on SWR.
  2. glory
    Anthony Kay f***ing sucks. This game will go on forever if he's expected to eat up innings against a good offense.
  3. glory
    Charlie going 14 innings without a pitching change would have caused his own head to explode. He had to take Matz out.
  4. glory
    Yeah, listening to Buck and Pat is like listening to a broadcast from 1974. Shulman is great, just need someone who is more in tune with the current game to go along side him. Buck and Pat ain't it.
  5. glory
    Yeah, my guess is whatever Shapiro proposed to them was already approved by the MLBPA, so if the country agrees to what was proposed, then it should be fine.
  6. glory
    Nice, glad I was wrong. Time to go on that second half run now.

    Yeah the 3 days with the draft, derby, and AS Game were great for baseball. The draft felt like a big deal being on primetime on a Sunday, and the derby and AS game did a great job spotlighting the young talent in the game today. I saw universal praise on social media for baseball, for the most part, and that's exactly what they need. I actually enjoyed this AS break, and that's usually never the case.
  8. glory
    Yeah, no chance the MLBPA agrees to that. They'll be staying in Buffalo at least for the rest of this season.
  9. glory
    I'm actually rooting for that exact scenario (not trading Ray and Semien, the part before that). Winning a World Series in Buffalo would be poetic justice.

    If you're talking about US endorsements, then yes, having someone who speaks english would be beneficial, although I suspect Ohtani is going to get more endorsements in the coming months given how much hype there has been around him, so it may not matter. As mentioned, MLB is starting to build their marketing around him now. Vlad will suffer because he plays in Canada, so his reach in the US might be impacted by that, not his lack of fluency in english.

    I think we have to accept the fact that the Jays are going to spend the entire season in Buffalo. If Canada forces anything on the players (vaccinations, quarantining, etc) it's not going to go over well with the MLBPA, and given how slow the Canadian government has been in this whole process, I'd be shocked if they'd allow more fans at RC than they currently allow in Buffalo. I'd love if the Jays went on a huge 2nd half run, made the playoffs, were granted permission to play in Toronto again, but then told Canada that they'd rather host the playoff games in Buffalo. It won't happen, but pettiness can be appropriate some times.

    Yeah I never understood why people care if an athlete can or can't speak english. I think I read that the HR derby got over 7 million viewers on ESPN, and it was a show built around a Japanese player who can't speak english (well). Fans don't (and shouldn't) care. As far as "the face of baseball", it's going to be Tatis regardless of how good Ohtani and Vlad are. Tatis is super charismatic and looks cool doing just about anything. That's going to play better to the younger audiences and sponsors.

    I am in the minority for liking both rules. The 7 inning games tend to breeze by, which makes two games in a day a lot easier to get through, and so far (I don't have any numbers on this) it seems like most extra inning games are ending at a reasonable inning rather than going 19 or 20. Maybe compromise and start the runner on 2nd in the 11th inning to give each team one shot at it conventionally, but shortening extra inning games to me is a good thing.
  14. glory
    Yeah based on everything I've read on social media, the HR derby was getting great reviews, especially the Ohtani/Soto round. I think this format works, they just need to figure out a way to make the actual home runs more visible, but that's more an ESPN issue.
  15. glory
    I can see why they changed it. If they had the old rule, Ohtani ends up with like 1 home run since he was drilling everything into the ground or hitting line drives initially before he started getting hot. Although yes, the old rule made you pay attention to and appreciate every home run. There has to be a middle ground somewhere, but I don't trust ESPN to ever find it.
  16. glory
    That was fun. Kinda glad Ohtani lost, dude was exhausted and he has to pitch +lead off tomorrow night. Keep that man healthy.
  17. glory
    Ohtani hitting grounders like 2019 Vlad.
  18. glory
    Gallo's pitcher might as well have been Dolis with the amount of time he was taking.
  19. glory
    Mets got a great pick at 10.
  20. glory
    Could definitely see the Angels going with Rocker.
  21. glory
    Some mocks have had Rocker dropping to the Royals. That seems like a realistic spot for him.
  22. glory
    Henry Davis going 1st overall according to Passan.
  23. glory
    The Indians likely have a better shot at the WC than the Jays do given the division they play in, so I doubt they trade Ramirez. Their payroll is nothing anyway and he has two affordable option years left so they have no incentive to move him like they did with Lindor, especially if they can sneak into a WC spot with him.
  24. glory
    131 PA, 75 wRC+, 2.3 BB%, 29.0 K%, .244 OBP The issue is not so much his performance, he's a streaky 1 WAR outfielder so this is exactly what he is, but as long as Buntoyo is managing, I don't think he'll ever truly be used as a 4th OF. Charlie loves vetrins. Loves them. Whether they are good or not. Even if the Jays find a way to add a bat or two at the deadline, Grich is going to play 4-5 times a week. I'm almost sure of that. I'm just tired of seeing him as an everyday player, so if they have to "Joe Panik" him to give someone else a shot, then I'm all for it. Find an equally bad contract and move on.

    Cleveland always values MLB players in trades so if they were to trade Ramirez I’m sure Biggio would interest them. There would have to be way more included though.
