    And of course Zach McKinstry and his 75 wRC+ is going to go deep to tie it. I keep wondering if the Tigers are going to get bit in the ass for trading Jack Flaherty, but they may not. Imaging saying out loud "Vogt may have waited too long to pull Bibee" when he's facing a career 79 wRC+ hitter who hit 4 HRs this year.

    I wouldn't expected that, but bi-weekly, bi-sexual, bilateral, etc. - you can see how the "Bi" is pronounced "bye" in Bibee.

    Unreal matchup. Love it.

    100% Unless you can get him back on that beautiful juice again! There is absolutely no guarantee with any of these old catchers. I don't have an issue with throwing $1M - $2M at one and hoping for the best.

    Man - go f*** yourself. I asked legitimate questions and made a valid point to someone who just throws out mindless opinions like "brutal asset management". If you can attack me for that, then be prepared to take it back.
  6. Brownie19
    Yeah - I remember reading how he went from absolutely crushing fastballs (and meatball fastballs) to being well below average on those pitches in 2022/23. He found a way to correct that this year I believe.

    f*** off ****.

    What would you have done differently? Extend Jansen? Trade Jansen for MUCH less and have no current CFer? We've had good catching depth for the past 10 years (since signing Martin). Depth at different positions is going to go in cycles and we do have Kirk for another couple of years.

    I think everyone sees that logic, but there are lots of actual results (and studies I believe) that prove otherwise. Getting walked really helps your team. I guess the issue would be if you're Javy Baez and you simply can't walk and take advantage of being worked around? I think it exists, just MUCH less than people naturally think.

    Any insight into what was injured? Knee again? There is some documented changes in his swing - I wonder if those were related to an injury, or if he just fell into a bad habit (or bad coaching).
  11. Brownie19
    My bad - I thought you were suggesting a lot "superstars" fall into this variable pattern.
  12. Brownie19
    That is correct.

    Brilliant managing. We need a manager like Dave.
  14. Brownie19
    It's been a painful stretch for sure. What is hilarious is that lots of teams who are winning in the playoffs right now also didn't address several of the perceived "holes" the Jays had the last 3 years. I'll repeat this - KC is starting Yuli Gurriel and Detroit is rolling with bullpen days, starting guys with negative WAR. Several teams are starting 4 or 5 guys with wRC+'s below 95. As they say - that's baseball.

    What a pivotal inning for Lugo there. He looked completely lost, almost as many balls as strikes. Loads the bases with 1 out and Soto/Judge coming up. Manager decides to leave him in (after pulling him in a similar situation in the WC round). He escapes, only giving up a sac fly to Soto. Is that smart managing? lucky managing? poor managing? I feel that was a situation where there is no real right answer. The manager just makes a decision and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. There's no skill to it - it's just a flip of a coin.
  16. Brownie19
    We'd need one of them to play 3rd. We have a lot of options at 2nd.
  17. Brownie19
    100% I hate to say this, but this was a missed opportunity by the Jays. The AL teams f***ing blow this year and a World Series appearance was ripe for the taking. If we rolled in with our 2021 or 2022 team this year - there's a good chance we're looking at a trip to the World Series (acknowledging the playoffs are a crapshoot).
  18. Brownie19
    f*** - I don't think I could stomach Bassitt starting a game in the playoffs for the Jays. If this somehow works for the Tigers, I hope people aren't going to applaud the Tigers GM for all the great depth and decision making he's made. Bullpen days and negative WAR starters in the playoffs is pretty crazy.
  19. Brownie19
    Would we have still signed Springer if we landed (and extended) Lindor? I mean who knows...
  20. Brownie19
    I can get on board with that. Those AL Central teams f***ing blow. I'm actually cool with the Yanks v. anyone who's left in the NL and I want the NL team to beat the Yanks in the finals.
  21. Brownie19
    OK that's fair, I don't like Roberts much - but I also don't give a s*** about managers in general. The team is f***ing packed with likeable players though. I guess people are no longer jaded about PED users anymore? Is it like the NFL now where nobody cares that you're cheating?
  22. Brownie19
    Tigers are starting Keider Montero in Game 3. It's insane how little depth and talent some of these playoff teams have. The playoffs are a total crapshoot.
  23. Brownie19
    I disagree. Who the f*** doesn't like Ohtani, Betts, Freeman, Teo, KK, Muncy, Edman, etc? It was Teo that started the barking at Machado - because that ball almost hit an unexpecting Roberts (looks like it hit the top rail) - do we not like Teo now? Machado has been a career bitch in the MLB. I don't get the newfound support for that ****.
  24. Brownie19
    Yeah - we teach 14 year olds to do the same thing on plays like that (also if they get picked off first base). It's something almost every ball player does now. Only the low IQ players don't.
  25. Brownie19
    You don't seem to be easily impressed...
