    I mean technically he's not wrong...strong troll game. I f***ing love Randy Johnson. It is incredible that he didn't truly break out until his 29th birthday and still went on to win 300 games and 110 career WAR. He posted a 9.6 WAR season at age 40. He was a bbbaaaaaaddddddddd man.

    That's a great point.

    exactly. swing and a miss Jim.

    And in 2017, when he didn't get babiped, he posted a wRC+ of 97. For that reason, I'm out.

    I'm watching Moneyball. I love this movie. Does Billy Beane get elected into the HOF?

    No - because the 1st sentence in the 2nd paragraph is written poorly...but anyway, I was sent a link to this instagram page today. Tattoos typically aren't my thing and I don't think her tits needed to look this fake, but damn she's attractive (TBH, she has a similar took to Jackie too) Login • Instagram WWW.INSTAGRAM.COM Welcome back to Instagram.

    decent question. Smoak is likely gone after 2019 and we might be ready to contend in 2020 - so having Santana as our DH (or 1st baseman if Vlad is still butchering 3rd base) then could help the team win? That's the only angle I see.

    My favourite commenter is The Busta, who claims he is out because his knee made contact with the catcher while the catcher had the ball. The Busta is a middle aged man with kids who's a free thinker, gun toting Democrat, gear head! Sleep, eat, an s*** MMA. Religion...is control - according to The Busta. The Busta had no idea the guy with the ball actually had to tag the runner - yet he spends his time replying to baseball tweets. People - FFS - please don't be like The Busta.

    I think you're underestimating the impact of facing replacement hitters. It would make a lot of replacement pitchers look like aces. It's all relative.

    Where the hell is Joneivy Polonia from Todd? you're slipping.

    Let's....let's not encourage Grant please.

    I'll respectably disagree. Cole, Severino, Nola, Marquez, Clevinger, Freeland, Wheeler, Foltynewicz, Taillon and Berrios all threw over 180 inning last year. But you're right - they don't make guys like Buehrle anymore. They don't make 4-5 K/9 starters who throw 200+ innings...
  14. Brownie19
    Those types of pitchers stopped throwing 200 innings years ago. But - I do hear what you're saying. The opener actually gives that type of pitcher an opportunity to be more effective and throw more innings - so that role won't disappear - he just starts the 2nd inning instead of the 1st. Thank god we're now allowing FO and coaching staffs to use their brains instead of following unwritten rules and simply following tradition. What a concept.

    The risk is they take at bats away from their best hitters - so I doubt we'll see too much of it besides moving some platoon splits around.
  16. Brownie19
    When do teams have to release their starting pitchers and lineups? Could we soon see team counter the opener by moving platoon guy up to the top of the order or say move their 2nd best hitter from the 1st or 2nd spot, down to the 4th spot to avoid the opener?

    the Fireman of the Year award? It was discontinued in 2011. edit - f*** me, they gave it to Joe Borowski in 2007 when he finished with 45 saves an ERA of 5.07 (4.12 FIP/xFIP). Good lord baseball has changed a lot.
  18. Brownie19
    I'd like to see baseball scrap gold glove winners at every position and just go with 1 winner in the AL and 1 winner in the NL. We don't give out awards for the best starter, middle reliever, LOOGY and closer - we give out an award for the best pitcher. When there's 18 winners of an award each year, it becomes a little meaningless.

    I'll take "irrelevant information" for $500 Alex.

    For me, the alternative was to trade him for a lottery ticket prospect in a salary dump move. I guess they decided they couldn't trade Smyly at $7M for anything.
  21. Brownie19
    I'm a bit confused. When Hamels was traded, the Rangers agreed to cover Hamel's $6M buyout (if he was bought out). Now the Cubs want to keep him, so the Rangers have agreed to "take" Smyly and his $7M contract (instead of having to pay the $6M buyout)? Smyly has potential to be really good - he was throwing flames before needing TJS. Instead of just gifting the Cubs $6M in cash, they now get Smyly? That's a huge win for them IMO. The medicals on Smyly must be s*** or something and nobody thinks he'll be of any value...

    https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/what-we-all-saw-in-the-playoffs/ A little summary of the playoffs - I thought it was interesting if nothing else. I found it interesting that BABIP in the regular season hasn't dropped as much as I would have thought with the implementation of the shift.

    That's his glove hand too! Can you imagine how sticky his pitching hand must be?

    That's actually a fair point. +1
