  1. I can't wait to see the umpire scorecard from last night's Brewers/Phillies game. Curious to see what % of calls that Angel got right. By eye, it looked like maybe 32%
  2. Chapman's got a 130 wRC+. Perhaps the underlying stats suggest he's been lucky, but he hasn't been awful at the dish.
  3. So f***ing happy for Scottie. They're going to retire his # in TO one day.
  4. I think we'd all just love to hear more from Spats period. He should do a Q&A or something. That guy is the Adrian Beltre of the board.
  5. His ceiling is Kevin Garnett. We'll see if he can reach that.
  6. Incredible comeback for Memphis tonight. Down 26 in the 4th they outscore Minnesota like 37-12 to win. I'm upset they'll face off v. the Warriors in Round 2. That's going to be one hell of a series.
  7. I disagree - I don't think the movement by his hands is 'natural' and he clearly pushes Stephenson's head away with his right hand at the end. I may be underestimating and downplaying the split second decision making, but it looks to me like Voit wanted there to be contact knowing it was going to be a bang bang play.
  8. You can call it what you want, but essentially this is a throw back to the 1975-78 Goose Gossage days where very good relief pitchers were used for 2-3 innings in close games. Back then they would typically finish the game and collect saves. In today's version they pitch the 6th and 7th or 7th and 8th and bridge the gap from the starter to the closer.
  9. To be honest - if you're going to get that upset at a player, I'd rather this reaction then the version where they wait until the guys comes to the plate again and then you throw a baseball at him (or even worse when you throw at a teammate for something someone did).
  10. Apparently all the non vaccinated Yankee players got their vaccinations so they can travel to Toronto.
  11. He slammed both arms down across Stephenson's head didn't he?
  12. I saw the other day the umpire refused to let Kenley Jansen throw more than 3 warm up pitches because he took so f***ing long to get to the mound and throw his first 3 pitches. Ump took a lot of heat for that - but it's going to take guys actually enforcing the rules to impart change. 25 minutes off a baseball game is f***ing huge and that s*** should be implemented immediately. We need games to flow like they did when Doc and Buehrle pitched (to the extent possible). Guys like Pedro Baez who take 30 seconds between every pitch and destroy the pace of play must be shown the door.
  13. A photo would have helped. This is interesting.
  14. I understand that, but I think longevity and excellence are 2 different things. That said - I won't lose sleep if they do add him to the LOE. He certainly deserves some sort of recognition.
  15. I don't want to post anything negative about Buck in this thread or for awhile as I wouldn't wish what he's going through on my worst enemy. But - I'm not so sure about this suggestion. He's been with the organization for a LONG time in many different roles though and there's probably a proper way to recognize him when the time comes. I'm not sure that's on the level of excellence though.
  16. What a complete s*** show Game 1 was. Now everyone is hurt and the Raps certainly appear to be f***ed. This might be a win for Shaq unfortunately.
  17. f*** - I missed that Spanky - thanks for posting. I think Jamie does a great job. Pulling for you Jamie!
  18. Stay strong brother! You too JaysAllMighty! I had testicular cancer 3 years ago.
  19. He's strike out like 28.5% of the time over his last 750+ PA's in A/AA over the past couple of years. Unfortunately, I think we have to assume this is just a hot streak and the K's are coming. That said, it would be a remarkable improvement/advancement to see him drastically reduce the K% in AAA (say to <20%?). That may be what he needs to have a legit shot at sticking in the majors.
  20. Aw man - this is awful. Buck and Jamie - you guys got this. Be fighters. f*** Cancer.
  21. Maybe we should have brought him to the training centre when COVID hit....instead he went and played in a men's league or something.
  22. Go cheer for another team then you grumpy ****.
  23. Exactly - if you have 1 day off in 31 days, why the f*** is your 'rest' day scheduled 3 days before your only day off in the month?
  24. Let's hope Hazel's report is right for once...she can't go 0-10 right?
  25. Don't change a thing TL - you're a beauty and almost everyone around here really appreciates you and your contributions to the board. Add trolls to the ignore page. Term - would you f*** off already? Trolling a contributor like TL isn't cool.
