Cool little follow up to the Chad Dallas call up. I think I flagged this little nugget in the GDT. Love it.

    Of course I didn't - who TF has time to read that block of text? But I just did, because you called me out. I think it's confirming he's been incredibly unlucky, combined with a decline in our team defense. I was just making a joke about how we should stop blaming bad luck. We had a lengthy chat about how unlucky Hoffman has been a week ago (we don't done need a Fangraph's article - it's pretty obvious) and someone made a sarcastic comment about blaming it on bad luck...lol, lol, lol.

    C'mon guys - we can't keep blaming Hoffman's results on "bad luck" lol

    I don't think Simpson was ever known for this defense? I think he's one of those guys who has the speed tool, but can't seem to use it to produce above average defense. Teo falls into that category for me. Great speed (85th+ percentile) and a great arm, but he's always been below average on defense. Low baseball IQ, or unable to read the ball quickly - not sure why that happens with some players. Speed and defense give Cook and Bullard good foundations. It will be interesting to see if the bats develop enough to make them more than a 4th OFer type.

    Believe me - I love the adjustments he's made. It's incredibly impressive what he's done to date and I hope it continues. But there's just still such a good chance that he's just a defensive first backup catcher - which is what we thought we were getting when we acquired him. Nobody thought he could hit. If they did, he'd have cost a lot more than Will Wagner. That said, it was felt that he had some upside with the bat. How incredible would it be if we "hit" on that upside. It appears this team needs a few of those types of things - like when we landed on EE or Joey Bats (not that I'm suggesting Valenzuela will give us that type of incredible value - those are just 2 obvious examples). The eye test certainly suggests this is legit. Fingers crossed.

    Based on his pedigree and minor league numbers, there's a very good chance that Valenzeula is just on a heater. We're nowhere near the point where anyone should feel comfortable that he's a legit major league starting catcher. Check back 2 years from now and there may then be merit to trading one of our catchers.

    He wasn't the same pitcher last Fall - duh.

    A lot of people on this board were very critical of Varland in the playoffs last year. Regularly questioning why we kept using him in big situations. Funny how quickly people forget.

    Ernie is one of the easiest Blue Jays to cheer for. If only that ball dropped last October - he'd have been a cult hero forever.

    Oh I'd pull the useless tit. I'd push him in front of the next train too if I could.

    What? What's wrong with Lindor?

    Why put the best RPer in baseball in a 1 run game?
  13. Brownie19
    Don't put this on the manager. They aren't 12 years old. Teams are always better off when the players police it. Every play on that team should be calling him out and losing their s*** on him. He's a selfish POS. Let Max go at him.

    Vlad will never learn. Too stupid. Selfish c*nt. We're up a run, need 6 outs and he wastes the last challenge on a ball that's completely within the zone. DFA this loser

    Collision happened half a step past the bag. No time to peel off. Vargas should have slid into a corner of the bag. Odd angle and some bad luck. Doesn't happen very often.
  16. Brownie19
    That looks like it's on Vargas to me. Learn to play the position.

    Perhaps someone already posted this, but yesterday was Lou Gehrig day. Chad Dallas' father passed away about a year ago with ALS. Getting the call to the bigs and pitching (well!) on Lou Gehrig day is just another incredible MLB moment. How can you not be romantic about baseball? I'd love to know if the Jays planned this at all - or if the baseball gods just made it happen. Either way - just fantastic.

    Based on the initial statement, there's a possibility you're wasting your time here Gov.

    Makes total sense to me. If 2 of the best ever can do it - everyone should be able to. #logic

    I think it's more about getting your timing back and preparing your body to play daily. All other sports have more days off and thus more in-season practice time. Player's returning from injury in other sports use that practice time to get back up to speed, whereas MLB players do that in the minors. MLB is a bit unique that way.

    This isn't how the playoffs work. It's a coin flip essentially.

    Good - wins were always useless. Ban them.
