    Can you clarify what victory you're claiming? That Bassitt was being critical of the FO and thinks they are s***, but was forced to backtrack on his comments by the FO? Is that it?
  2. Brownie19
    Yeah - he's coming back out.
  3. Brownie19
    He's coming back out. I can't see him getting to the end though (unfortunately). Hoping for a quick 5-6 pitch inning!

    How about Bowden Francis? Unreal.
  5. Brownie19
    No - I wasn't. I played fantasy sports for about 15 years, but I don't have time for it anymore.

    Donnie probably can't run an ipad. The hitters typically want to see video of themselves. It also doesn't seem unreasonable that Hague would be the hands on guy who does the grunt work.
  7. Brownie19
    boy - I wonder why.
  8. Brownie19
    Do we even know exactly what Donnie's role even is? I mean I'm certainly not surprised that there aren't articles about Donnie working with hitters, using resistance bands in the cages. I thought he looked after the offensive gameplan/approach or some s*** like that.

    What on earth is wrong with that statement? Loperfido has obvious holes in his swing, which is the primary reason he was available as a secondary piece in a trade for a rental in Kikuchi in the first place.

    Dodgers designated Jason Heyward for assignment. Even great FO's make these type of mistakes. Houston sign Neris Reds sign Dom Smith

    Big development for the Jays. He's up to a 89 wRC+. If he's a 100-110 bat, then he'll be a big part of the Jays future.

    What's ironic is that if Swanson wasn't on the Blue Jays, he'd probably be the type of guy we'd identify as a good bounce back candidate for 3-4 million next year. Yates hadn't been good since 2019 Hudson is 37 and pitched 3 innings last year Ottavino is 38 and sucked last year Swanson had 2 good seasons prior to this one, the velo is the same, the results are not. He did deal with some very difficult family situations in the spring, plus a strained elbow (I think) - but no idea if that still has any impact. He's probably a decent candidate to rebound.

    It's like he's mocking the 45th president of the united states.

    223 wRC+ is now the 4th highest in ML history (behind the 3 best Bonds seasons). We are witnessing some history here. I hope he ages well. It's crazy the Yankees kept him down in AAA for almost all of the 2016 season.
  18. Brownie19
    If that were the case - he wouldn't have backed down from his statement. Unless he's a spineless beta? So maybe he isn't stupid, but he is a pussy? Yes - that's a possibility.
  19. Brownie19
    Oh my - that does change things. Good info.
  20. Brownie19
    I'm certainly not ruling out that possibility. I just don't think Bassitt is dumb enough to want to go on record to complain about the FO in some clever manner that could be interpreted a couple of different ways. Maybe he is stupid. I think it's perfectly logical for the org to have concerns over what he said, to have spoken with him and hopefully cleared the air about it. There is a possibility that the org demanded or forced him to go on-air and lie about what he really meant - but the probability of that just seems quite low. I guess there's a possibility that he really did mean to rip the org, but after speaking with them, he realized how stupid that was and made his own choice to backtrack spin it another way. There's always a possibility that happened. But I also think there's a high probability that what he meant all along was exactly what he said when he was asked to clarify his comments - because I don't think Bassitt is stupid. Why are some people suggesting there little to no chance that's what happened?
  21. Brownie19
    This doesn't say anything. It just confirms that the org asked Bassitt what he meant by those comments (which isn't unexpected) and he provided clarification.
  22. Brownie19
    What's the collective approach?
  23. Brownie19
    Maybe. Or maybe they did identify it, showed it to Vlad and he told them to pound salt and called Wilton. We won't know.
  24. Brownie19
    I believe the Castro Bros had another video that showed the adjustments Vlad made this year align with the mechanics he used in 2021 (I don't know or care about 2017 or 2018). We don't know who brought this to his attention and/or helped fix it. We don't know why it changed after 2021. I can't imagine that after 2021, Guillermo or any coach tried to change his swing and suggested he push his hands forward more - that's moronic. It probably just developed (maybe associated with an injury). We don't know who Vlad was listening to (or not listening to) in 2022/23. We also don't know how long it would taken to make mechanical changes like that. Breaking that muscle memory in game, in pressure situations can be difficult and I suspect the adjustment period is different for different players. The good news is that he's back.

    How many fans do they even get for preseason? You couldn't pay me to go to an NFL preseason game.
