  1. Praising Hosmer so much but a decent throw from Duda and he's out..
  2. d'Arnaud has really struggled throwing out runners.
  3. He knows MLB is a business especially since it happened to him. He goes from francishie player in Oakland to traded the next day. Wonder if Shapiro values character and team chemistry.
  4. Stroman is like yeah we don't need extra motivation... f***in idiot Barry lol
  5. Could be something we don't know about. I don't think you should bash AA when you don't know the circumstances around the contract that was offered.
  6. Cringeworthy interview of Stroman by Barry Davis at the WS!! http://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/stroman-we-are-motivated-and-hungry-for-next-year/
  7. Noticed in the Toronto Sun it was reported that the reason no players have spoke publicly about AA's departure is because Rogers told them not to. This is the first time I heard about this. Rogers was probably afraid of more PR backlash if players tweeted out their support of AA.
  8. Nothing is as bad as the Sportsnet.ca Comments. Once read them and immediately had to drink 2 beers because of how awful they were.
  9. Can't stand it when Casey leaves in his best players with 3 min left in a 20 point game.
  10. guy also fouls at a historic rate.
  11. Biyombo looks worse than Chuck Hayes on offence.
  12. Ball movement actually looks pretty good. Of course Derozan isn't on the floor..
  13. And sign a bunch of Free Agents to replace their production as well as find 2 SP all for $140? That would be very difficult...
  14. Won't be interesting at all because the team would suck.
  15. Not with a $140 Million they can't.
  16. I'd like to see Stroman elevate the 4 seam just to give batters a different look. Also think he would get more Ks as well, although he might be a few more HRs too. I don't blame him and Martin using the 2 seam as much as they do since its such a good pitch but a few extra 4 seamers might not be so bad.
  17. Oh for sure you would take a strikeout vs any other out. Maybe popout since you could do it on less pitches but not going to nitpick.
  18. Isn't a 1 pitch groundout the most efficient way to record an out?
  19. Okay there Buck. "Edwin is the best baserunner on the team"-Buck Martinez
  20. ugh what? He seems like a really genuine person, which can't be said for a lot of athletes. Not many people in the position he is would be hanging out with homeless people and helping them out the way he has. I will say he has one of the best instagram accounts.
  21. Have to remember transitioning to MLB is very difficult too lol. I think Norris will get a few more Ks his Swstr% indicates he should of struck out more batters. His stuff has been pretty inconsistent it seems too. Really rooting for the guy though even if he isn't with the Jays. One of the best people in the game.
  22. Well stroman lost about 1 MPH this season and seems to have almost abandoned his 4 Seamer for the 2 seamer. I think that could partly explain the small drop in strikeouts. If he continues to get the grounball rate above 60% he doesn't necessarily need the strikeouts like you said. Low pitch count groundouts will help him go deeper into games so his value is probably around the same either way.
  23. I think the issue is he is a FA next year and it would cost him money on the open market if he's a DH rather than an everyday player. I would think after he signed an extension or gets a contract he would be much more open to DHing.
