    http://www.tsn.ca/radio/simmons-on-bautista-twitter-feud-1.96456 The host of the show is laughing at Steve pretty much lol. At around 7 min Steve actually reads out what people wrote to him on Twitter and its f***in hilarious.

    I honestly don't know many people who had a problem with what Bautista said. Everything he said was true and its not like he lied about anything. The only people who don't like it are these 65 year olds that call in to PTS who don't even know half the players names.

    Last year's winter everywhere was pretty terrible so it wasn't really just Kingston. Like Ottawa's winter last year was worse than Kingston's. Kingston's tallest building is what 12 stories? Just the culture shock of going from KC to Kingston must be huge.

    Neither did I. I was theoretically speaking Ms. Moogy.

    Lol if someone actually said exactly that after I told them about about what happened on Twitter I probably would punch you in the face.

    This isn't about Slimy Steve but Jose is in the video with Cabbie. Best Part is David Ortiz hitting a bomb against the Jays wearing the tshirt Cabbie gave him.

    I wonder what Steve will tweet next.

    Greg Zaun was on PTS the other day and was commenting about how there's a few guys in the clubhouse that he knows other players hate. He said he talks to guys around the team and knows this to be true. He didn't say names directly but hinted two of them were JPA and Lawrie. So as much as your random stranger's story could be false it wouldn't surprise me if guys on the team Gomes or not didn't like him. Now did Gomes get traded because he didn't like JP? Probably had more to do with the Indians asking for him for Rogers than anything, but doesn't mean it wasn't true. Its funny that Lawrie is Canadian because the way he acts is very American and not Canadian at all. Huge Alpha make who doesn't give a s*** about other people and thinks its all about him. You could probably say that describes 90% of MLB players but Lawrie is to the extreme.

    The 2013 team was projected to win over 90 games and the AL East IIRC. Obviously a ton of things went wrong, but the team after the trades was still supposed to be one of top teams in the AL. I don't think you understand that I'm not saying I would do the trades again if given the chance, but rather they worked better than people are giving credit for. If AA had gone out and got a 2nd baseman or traded for Headley and McCarthy at the deadline we probably wouldn't be having this discussion. The reason for not being in the postseason is sitting on your hands in the offseason and during the season, not the trades that happened in 2013.

    It has its pros and cons like any city. Im usually there 5 or 6 times a year but from my experiences the pros are: Downtown everything is close Some pretty good bars Down by the lake is really nice in the summer Cons: Winter is terrible, seems they get the most snow of any city outside Ottawa Besdies Frontenac and Queens games there are no sports. Nothing to do really

    Thats why I wish someone just asked him the question, so we could at least know instead of having to "guess". I heard him on Jonah Keri's show or podcast and AA was talking park factors so I would think he understands them. For a guy who seems to try to squeeze as much value out of anything I would think he is going to know about park factors and pitch framing etc.. But then again Navarro is the starting catcher so what the f*** do I know..
  17. burlingtonbandit
    thats my thinking as well but it would be nice for someone interviewing him just to ask him if he uses stats like wRC+ and xFIP. My guess is that he does but it would still be nice to hear it. I think he was saying how he thought Hutch was much better than the stats would indicate so I think he knows what whiff rates mean etc..

    I know but GB is at home and one win against Atlanta doesn't take away the fact that the Vikings looked pretty bad the two weeks prior.

    "He’s third in OPS behind Victor Martinez, a first baseman-DH and Jose Abreu, a first baseman. Jose played right field, centre and first." Mike Trout was 3rd in OPS, Bautista 4th... Edit: After reading the entire article I feel worse about him as the GM. f***in referenced wins and comparing Buehrle and Price. I'm not sure if that was because he was talking to the Toronto Sun and wanted to appeal to that audience but I'm not a fan of hearing it. I really wish we could get someone to interview him and ask him questions about advanced stats and what are his thoughts on wRC+ and pitch framing.

    I agree with the philosophical strategy you are saying but the trade has worked in favour of the Blue Jays for what they were trying to do. The problem is not having additional payroll flexibility to compliment the players you brought in. If you were going to make those trades having payroll topped out at 140 is not a good recipe for success. lol yeahhhh...

    Vikings aren't a good football team.

    I didn't like the trade at the time but it wasn't because of Gomes. People need to realize that there will be times when guys miss on players talents just like when Bautista came here to Toronto. As for the Marlins and Mets deals Reyes, Dickey and Buehrle put up 10 WAR (using RA-9 for the pitchers) and not even accounting for the Dickey effect which probably added another win. The trade worked out this year and the problem was as some have said is giving PA to replacement players, not the guys brought in from the trades.
  23. burlingtonbandit
    WAR undervalues guys like Buehrle and Dickey. The Gomes was completely a separate trade and no one knew how good he was going to be. The Marlins and Mets deals actually worked out for us this year even if some people don't want to believe it. Not to mention you combined d'Arnaud and Gomes WAR into your calculation which isn't correct since they play the same position.
  24. burlingtonbandit
    I'm sure deals like this happen all the time and end up falling through. You can't really look at the what if scenarios because for all we know there could have been other that would of made the club a lot worse.
  25. burlingtonbandit
    I've thought of that. Also I wonder how much AA listens to those around him and maybe he listens to them too much or too little.
