  1. Throwing your driver in a pro-am tournament is pretty cringy Spank. To me that isn't confidence.
  2. That type of behavior isn't what I'd describe was confidence. Grown men who need attention like that are typically insecure and screaming for help. That - or they are just natural born douche bags....its a thin line sometimes.
  3. I love Yandy Diaz's hitting stats. Why hasn't that translated to ML success?
  4. Why the LOL? Our return for Smith was solid and probably about what we could expect for JD right now.
  5. Go read what BTS posted and thanks the f***ing heaven's they didn't roll the dice man.
  6. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/what-christian-yelich-has-changed/ Yelich's swing looks like Ohtani's.
  7. David Wright is 10 games into rehab at A+ ball. You have to admire his drive and commitment to returning to baseball. 52.2 Career WAR in about 11 full seasons. Injuries have robbed him from what probably would have been a HOF career. He's set for life financially, yet he still gets up everyday trying to work his way back to the majors. Tip the cap.
  8. Anyone else notice Austin Meadows has taken off since being traded to Tampa? .307 / .354 / .659 179 wRC+ 7.3% BB / 12.5% K in 96 PA's. Only a .286 BABIP
  9. Good for him. He's stuck with it for this long that he deserves to get the call at least once in his life. I hope he does well.
  10. Gurriel's 2018 BABIP - .354 Travis's 2016 BABIP - .358 Travis's 2015 BABIP - .347 *2015 and 2016 were used as those are the last 2 years that Travis was an above average hitter.
  11. TIL big game James Shields is still pitching at the ML level.
  12. Thoughts on Diaz? Is he a long term option as our starting SS or is Gurriel and/or Bo just going to lap him. Either way - very nice pickup by Shatkins
  13. This just in - than Sanchize is f***ing awful.
  14. I'm not saying this is right, but I saw it put this way. If you are going to bring back JD on a QO at $18M, he's probably playing 1st or DH'ing with Vlad getting most of the reps at 3rd. To have that spot, you may be eating Morales's $11M contract (releasing him or moving him with $$ for nothing). That means you may be paying $29M for the change that JD bounces back and you can get some prospects for him on an expiring contract. Considering what teams got for expiring deals this year (which was next to nothing) and that Moose just got $6.5M on a 1 year deal this offseason as a FA. That's a hefty price to pay.
  15. I was joking about Gray's ERA. But that said - it truly could be a mental break. As much as I love the advanced stats - it's a drain when you're giving up runs all the time. I suspect it's difficult to convince yourself it's all bad luck (when the advances stats tell you it is). It's like the caddy in Tin Cup. Take out all your change and put it in your left hand pocket Tie your left shoe in a double knot Turn your hat around backwards Take this tee and stick it behind your left ear
  16. Hader, Jefferies, Soria....but yeah. Perhaps it's a mental break. Jon Grey's ERA has been significantly lower since his demotion.
  17. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-fringe-five-baseballs-most-compelling-fringe-prospects-120/ Biggio makes the Fringe 5. Probably the most interesting part of the article is they suggest his second-base defense grades out as solidly average by the advanced metrics.
  18. I think he was just saying that he would preferred the Jays to be god awful (like Baltimore Orioles awful) in 2018 if it improved our chances to compete in 2021. Nobody in their right mind looks at Baltimore as the model.
  19. That's some incredible analysis there sir.
  20. Rockies have solved their OF issues. Matt Holiday has been recalled from AAA.
