    Over the course of a season defense won't make that much difference. And that's why the truly advanced stats guys tend to look at K% instead, for that exact reason.

    Gonna be a close race this year. Porcello has the wins and a good ERA, but he'll lose some votes because everyone knows he's not the best pitcher on Boston. Happ is just behind him in wins and ERA, and as well, not generally highly regarded. Tanaka leads in ERA, but is a lot lower in wins. If Sale can overtake Tanaka for ERA, then he'll have a good shot, as he's put up solid win numbers, and has better strikeout numbers than the others. Kluber is likely the favourite at this point, as he's at or near the top in all categories. Happ also has less IP/start than most of the others (20-25 IP less than most of the other top candidates), so that's probably enough to knock him out of the race. Barring anyone having a really great or really terrible last 2 starts, it's probably between Kluber and Porcello at this point.

    35k is still great for a weekday game. For reference yesterday's games: LAD-NYY: 32k NYM-WAS: 22k PIT-PHI: 15k BAL-BOS: 37k MIA-ATL: 18k MIL-CIL: 14k SD-SF: 41k MIN-DET: 28k OAK-KC: 31k CLE-CWS: 12k TEX-HOU: 22k CHC-StL: 43k COL-ARI: 20k SEA-ANA: 29k So Boston, SF, and St Louis beat us for yesterday. For a weekday game against a bottom feeder in September, I'll take that.

    Yep. A one year deal for Saunders is unlikely to be a problem for us on the whole, so I wouldn't be upset if he accepted the QO. And if he rejects it and signs elsewhere, I'm not really going to be terribly upset either.
  6. UWHabs
    Well, I seriously doubt that any of Toronto, Boston, or Baltimore will be more than 6 games out heading to that last week, so everyone will be in it. Hopefully we can lay the beatdown against the Yankees the weekend before to kill their final hopes.

    And with the extended bullpens, if he gets into trouble, we can yank him after 2-3 innings and have enough arms to get through the game. And with 3 catchers, at that point can still pinch hit for Thole so we don't have to keep his lack of a bat in the lineup any more than needed.
  8. UWHabs
    As much as I don't like Thole, if Martin or Navarro gets hurt, I'd rather have Thole as an option than be forced to use someone like Kratz as the backup catcher. And if we don't need him, then oh well, it's not like it cost the team anything.

    Yep, they'll basically give Travis a 510k salary next year instead of 507.5k.
  10. UWHabs
    I'd be very tempted to plan on tag-teaming 2 of our starters. I really don't trust the pen all that much, so I'd be very tempted to plan for Happ or Stroman to pitch for the first 1 or 2 times through the order, then move to Sanchez for the next time through, then off to the bullpen after. With playoff off-days, it probably doesn't even really screw that much with the rotation that we'd use for the division series either.

    If they had 1 game plus homefield, that gives too much of an edge. Your "penalty" for only having to play 1 game is that you have to play it on the road. More fair that way.
  12. UWHabs
    Your humble opinion just happens to be wrong. Small sample size and all, but Travis has been worth 10 UZR/150 at 2B this year, Barney has been worth 2.6/150 this year. Of players with at least 500+ innings at 2B, Travis currently ranks 3rd in UZR/150. Career, Barney is 11.7, so admittedly he's probably a better defensive player than Travis. But Barney is a well below average hitter, while Travis is a well above average hitter.

    After Altuve, Travis is arguably the next best 2nd baseman in the game right now.

    Yesterday with the off-day... *apparently he's hurt: Shi Davidi ‏@ShiDavidi 28m28 minutes ago John Gibbons says Devon Travis has an issue in third knuckle on right hand, received an injection, needs a day off. #BlueJays

    Had a look through other parts of next year's season ticket rules: -No more ticket exchanges after the game if you missed it (at least, I didn't see that in their exchange rules) -You can only exchange for games of a lower classification, so no more exchanging a Tuesday game for a Sunday game. -Exchanges can be done up to 10 hours before gametime -They also say the new prices are subject to change, so they could go up higher if there's a ton of renewals.
