    While rocking a K/9 of 4.03 vs. a BB/9 of 3.13 MY GOD how baseball has changed.

    You don't get rich like these owners by worrying about what some other old rich fart thinks about you. Unwritten rules are so f***ing stupid. f***ing f***s.

    73 wRC+. He's been Ryan Goins with the bat this year. He's a 35 year old catcher who's a league average bat at best - and it's not as if he's crushing LHP either. You don't get creative to get him in the lineup - period...

    Russ Martin is starting in LF today? He's hitting .165 and we're finding creative ways to get him in the lineup? WTF? It's like he's some circus act now or some s***.

    Interesting point. Do we think fantasy sports play a decent role in attracting young fans to the sport?

    Solarte is too out of shape to play SS it appears. He'll be a bad influence on Vlad - buffet for days

    Holy assumptions Batman!

    Just sign Jon Singleton and send him to AA to DH

    This. I don't see any reason at all to give up the extra year of control. Bo isn't knocking at the proverbial MLB door.

    Sorry to disappoint Spank!

    https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/go-see-the-two-seamer-before-its-gone/ I thought this was an interesting....albeit it's not earth shattering news. We've talked before on here about how hitters have become much better low ball hitters to counteract the predominant philosophy to "keep it down" and recent trends of using the 2 seamer more often. I fully expected we'd see a shift to high 4 seamers and it appears that revolution is happening. It's time for the hitters to adjust. In the meantime, it would be really nice if our staff could be ahead of the game a bit. Stro went from throwing lots of 4 seamers with success in 2014 to falling in love with the 2 seamer. We also pushed 2 seamer on Happ when he was first signed from Pittsburgh for absolutely no good reason.

    He bounced back nicely in 2016, but yeah, he looks done. I know I've read a few times that Hanley doesn't like baseball, so perhaps this type of decline shouldn't be that unexpected. He's like Adam Dunn.

    It's hilarious bruh - so cool.
  14. Brownie19
    wow - he was on fire to start this season. I didn't realise he'd fallen off a cliff. 0 for his last 20 though.

    Rowdy's historically been a slow starter. He's got the wRC+ up over 100 now, the BB & K rates are still good and he's starting to hit for power. Let's hope he can get hot and prove last year was a blip on the radar.
  16. Brownie19
    FFS - Alford is doing his best to prove Todd right.
  17. Brownie19
    Yeah I thought about him and Winfield too. Henderson was really underrated as a hitter. Everyone remembers the speed, but playing in a time when people valued RBI's - his hitting ability often was overlooked.
  18. Brownie19
    You bastard. You made me go back up and see if Gift actually had a massive day.

    I took a coaching clinic this spring. We were broke into groups of 4 and there were probably 6 groups. As a starter, he asked each group to name the 2 best HITTERS who played for the Blue Jays. It didn't matter how long they played for the Jays or whether they peaked while on the Blue Jays. Our table debated JD, Frank Thomas, Delgado and Olerud before settling on JD and the Big Hurt. 2 of the tables said Joe Carter, while no table said Delgado or Olerud. I was disgusted. A lot of tables said Robbie Alomar, Molitor + Bautista.

    Never stick your dick in crazy Rowdy! you're better than that.
  21. Brownie19
    You have some issue eh man?
  22. Brownie19
    Ok, I watched it. Easy to see in hindsight, but I don't mind that Grandy tagged up on the Morales drive. If that's caught, he's moves to 3rd with 1 out, representing the tying run. If the ball's gone, the game's over and if the ball hits off the wall and gets away from the OFer (which was a possibility if Trout tries to make a leaping catch), then he scores also. With nobody out - I don't fault him at all. Morales should have been on 2nd after hitting the ball. That's bad and would have been awful if Teo hit into a double play. It was the coaches fault for sending Grandy on Teo's fly ball to RF.

    f*** I turned this off when Clippard did his thing. Now I'm reading this and have no idea what happened....
  24. Brownie19
    Is it wrong that I kind of agree with this guy? Dogg - piss off with you multiple accounts and stupid posts. Get a life.
  25. Brownie19
    That's not all camera angle IMO. He looks like Bobby Witt out there (I think the first time I heard anyone talk about pitchers throwing across the body, the broadcaster was talking about Bobby Witt when he was on the Rangers). Havok is correct though - it creates a lot of deception, but is probably the root cause of his BB issues. I believe it also adds a lot of stress to the arm.
