    f*** umpires in general.

    Buck on his high horse about how players 'these days' don't run the bases well. Go f*** yourself.
  3. Brownie19
    If a home run ball counts - then yes.
  4. Brownie19
    As reported, he's reverting back to a longer arm action...
  5. Brownie19
    Remember when that was a thing? Very few rotator injuries these days.

    Buck - "The issue was Villar was a the leadoff hitter in Miami. I don't think he's going to hit leadoff for the Jays. He'll be in the top 3" Dan - "Even when Bo comes back?" Buck - "Oh yeah.....pause....pause....f***.....I think it will be Cavan, Villar, Bo and you drop Grichuk down" Get this man off the air please.

    It's interesting because Stripling projects to give you 2.9 and 3.4 WAR over 170 innings in 2018/2019. That's top 30-40 in baseball for starting pitchers. Anyone know why the Dodgers limited his starts/innings so much? Just because their staff was so deep and good? He's been used kinda of similar to Kenta Maeda (although Maeda was a shut down setup man in the playoffs, while Stripling was more of a low leverage guy). We can only hope that once he escapes LA, he flourishes like Maeda has this year for the Twins.

    Who would you guys have rather had? Musgrove or Stripling if the price was Williams?
  9. Brownie19
    That applies if you believe that controlling hard contact is a skill.

    Don't publicly shame the internal optimists. We got Hatch for nothing last year and we liked how that felt!
  11. Brownie19
    Everyone spooging over Hatch and s***ing on Font is probably due for a rude awakening. Hatch has a 90.2 LOB% and a BABIP of .114, which is artificially leading to a lot of success early this year. He's the polar opposite of Font. Hatch's FIP, xFIP, K% and BB% are all worse than Font. The season is so short that there may not be time for these stats to normalize, but there's still a decent chance that Font is better than Hatch from today through to the end of the season. And just so we're clear - I love Hatch and kinda hate Font too.

    I don't think anyone is pretending Villar will be better defensively than Shaw (who's quite good). They are looking at the overall package, which has seen Shaw post a -0.1 WAR this year as a 74 wRC+ hitter. It looks like we'll continue to give Shaw a starting gig (which I believe was promised to him when he signed) until Bo comes back. If he hasn't figured it out at the plate by then, than there's probably a good chance Villar will take starts away from him.

    I'm with you on this one Grant. We've been on the same page the past 2 days.
  14. Brownie19
    He's right though. Athletic stories get posted here all the time by those with accounts.
  15. Brownie19
    Interesting - I really like Musgrove.
  16. Brownie19
    I'm not sure how you can call him a f***ing moron when you have no idea who's call that is. I've questioned this a few times...is it really Charlie, or is it the high performance team / FO making some of these calls. You think Charlie is in charge of establishing pitch counts? like f***.
  17. Brownie19
    McGuire's never hit. Very few players hit like s*** in AA and then sudden become average ML hitters.
  18. Brownie19
    He's f***ing glorious to watch when he's on top of his game.
  19. Brownie19
    Archie Bradley and Brian Goodwin to the Reds. Bauer isn't getting moved.
  20. Brownie19
    Look it up putz.
  21. Brownie19
    Of course they aren't right 100% of the time - neither is the eye test. It's about using the data to increase the probability of being right. FFS - yesterday he left Roark in when the stats probably told him it was a stupid move - and guess what? Roark got f***ing LIT UP and we almost lost the game. I suspect upper management may have had a little chat with him and told him to f*** off. If not, he may just be a little gun shy himself. I'm surprised there's so much outrage today, less than 24 hours after we were in the exact same situation and left the starter in to get lit up. There's also been a lot of outrage over using Font with inherited runners on base - claims about how he needs a clean inning like last year. We gave him that today with similar s***** results. Armchairs everywhere boys. Advanced stats suggest Font's just been really unlucky this year also.
  22. Brownie19
    Buck made it up? Shocking!
  23. Brownie19
    Font is basically the exact same guy he was last year. He's just had awful luck this year. BABIP of like .469 and a LOB% of like 45% In a short season - there's no time for bad luck.
  24. Brownie19
    Manoah, McGuire and a wild card.
  25. Brownie19
    Damn - that was going to be my guess! I think I'm OK with it. Not sure Conine ever makes enough contact to contribute at the ML level.
