    Not that you're wrong, but why are you so up in arms about this? Of course there a possibility she's getting "some" preferential treatment based on her gender. Heaven forbid that happens once in awhile after all the discrimination their gender has received over the years.

    I literally never know what you mean You were responding to travisinfla who said "how about win their first playoff game in 8 years" and I think I've seen a few others suggest the same thing. I do take issue with statements that are just flat out false. If you don't think he had much impact on 2016 and are going to discount those playoff wins (which would be fair to some extent), then you can't, at the same time, cite that he's had 8 years here to build a winner. Obviously the core was already here in 2016 and then after that he had to re-tool/re-build because the contention window was slammed shut after AA "went for it". IMO, the contention window opened for Atkins in 2021 and we've swung and missed 3 years now. I'm not going to tar and feather Atkins for now producing a winner in 2017, 2018 or 2019 as that was never realistic and I think we were premature contenders in 2020 - much like a team like Florida was this year.

    I didn't think an explanation was necessary. This is a pretty dumb question with an obvious answer (literally everyone has responded that there is no issue)

    When he signs with LA, are you going to come back and remind us how smart you are because you predicted Ohtani won't sign here because of our FO? I sure hope so.
  5. Brownie19
    It's hilarious you're seemingly bothered by this when you've done the exact same thing to me on multiple occasions.

    I thought the unimaginative turtles won? We all understand that playoff baseball is a lot different than the regular season man. You may find some stats that suggest certain types of players, or certain skill sets gives you an advantage during the playoffs - I think the issue is that playoff baseball is so short, that the results rarely normalize because everything is a SSS - so even if you're built to "win in the playoffs" slightly better than your opponent, the advantage is never very big. I doubt you'll ever be able to prove that "teams that build their team like X, win more often than not in the playoffs". Most aren't unimaginative turtles - we understand most of this. It's your inability to articulate your point that is particularly painful.

    This was all the rage in 2015. KC won because they aren't 3 true outcome hitters and they don't rely on the home run and we heard about this for the following 4-5 years. Now people seem to be back on the train that power and home run hitters rule in the playoffs because the pitching is too good to rely on several hits in a row.
  8. Brownie19
    I wonder if that's because that statement isn't true? Just a thought.
  9. Brownie19
    Thank god - now STFU for a bit man.
  10. Brownie19
    I'm not sure you can say 8 years without include the results of the 2016 playoffs where they advanced to the ALCS. If you want to argue that "wasn't Ross's team" then do that and adjust the number of years to what you believe "was Ross's team".
  11. Brownie19
    Thank you Spanky. This is correct - referring to connorp and his dump truck pile of BS he's spewing all over this board. It's horrendous.
  12. Brownie19
    To be fair, it's only 5 years of Vlad/Bo. They took another run at it in 2016 and then there were certainly some transitions years in there. Your point is still fair - the results haven't been there, but that doesn't mean that there isn't truth that stability within the FO is still valuable.
  13. Brownie19
    I think that remains to be seen. Fans are always pissed off when they lose and form irrational opinions. Give them time to cool off and give the Jays time to make adjustments to the real problem (the players) this offseason. God know if the Jays somehow trade for Juan Soto, all the mouthbreathers threatening to disown the team will be back in a millisecond - whether it's a smart trade or not.

    fify Stars and aces win in the playoffs. Unless your stars and aces are Betts, FF and Kershaw I guess?
  15. Brownie19
    It takes about 3 seconds to disprove most of what he says.
  16. Brownie19
    Brilliant idea. Thank you for your contribution to the board.
  17. Brownie19
    Yeah - Solar's name was tossed around my house the other day (smart teenager) as an option. I was going to ask what the board thought, but didn't get around to it. He's an interesting option. Seems quite volatile year to year.
  18. Brownie19
    How have the players been held accountable?
  19. Brownie19
    But they pulled the starting pitcher too early and gave up 2 runs in an elimination game. You can't have that! All jokes aside, if you take a step back - from an X's and O's perspective, you can certainly create a case that he's doing a solid job. No guarantee someone else will do better (grass isn't always greener). Then there's all this noise about losing the clubhouse and lots of feelings and such. I don't know what to make of all that crap. You'd have to have a lot more information to make a definitive opinion/decision I think. I suspect a lot of this is still raw and they'd be best to let things cool off a bit before evaluating and making a decision.
  20. Brownie19
    Agreed. He truly is one of the games "greats" and should be someone that we tell our grandkids about when we're in a rocking chair. The guy is simply incredible at almost any sport he plays.

    The 3v3 is interesting. While there certainly is action and scoring chances, there's also a lot of puck control stuff where they just hover in the neutral zone - afraid to give up the puck. I wonder if they eliminated the shootout and said "you play until someone scores", if the 3v3 would change at all. I'm definitely in favor of eliminating the shootout (even though kids love watching it).

    Thor also came to mind. At some point the # of arm injuries he's had over the years will catch up. It might have happened, or he might give the Yanks another dominant year in 2024. Complete unknown.

    Perhaps I've missed something, but here's a little summary of his recent posts... Perhaps it's just recency bias, but it just seems to be a bunch of complaints about the tubbies on the team, with some solid jokes about uncrustables and lots of just mindless bitching about the FO and JS without any substance. I appreciate the level of frustration following our playoff exit, so if he's been a quality poster otherwise, my apologies.
  24. Brownie19
    There are a lot more names I recognize when you search for the lowest career WAR amongst pitchers. Pat Mahomes - 2nd worst pitcher of all-time! Mitch Williams - 7th worst Canadian Lance Cormier -11th Sean O'Sullivan - 15th And 8th overall pick, Alan Mills is 1st.
  25. Brownie19
    In 2008, Jose Molina was worth 3.6 WAR in 100 games (297 PA's) while posting a wRC+ of 51 and obviously providing negative value on the bases. Unreal.
