    The funny thing is the casual fan should love Gibby. The man is a walking legend on the "good ole boys" meter and his "f***in beauty" level is off the charts. There's a reason he survived as manager through a front office change over. He's a really good fit for this team right now.

    Profar and Kemp are both excellent targets. I doubt they come cheap though (I guess Profar might). Regardless, finding the next super utility guy (Zobrist, Nunez) before they get established/expensive/valued would fill a significant hole for this team.

    Holy f*** - I'm glad we got this sorted out guys...

    Has Kershaw officially escaped the stigma of sucking in the playoffs? Please tell me he has now.

    I'm pleasantly surprised at all the Brandon Morrow love. At one point, he was my favourite pitcher in baseball to watch. C'mon 'Stros - need a win tonight.

    Has anyone seen video of his change up? I looked for it after I read about this 20-25 MPH drop, but was unsuccessful.

    I missed the whole game! Still hungover too.

    I just read that McCullers threw 28 straight curve balls to end the game. That's unreal.

    Verlander is the f***ING boss. Reminds me of playoff Josh Beckett back in the day.

    Aren't you just a ray of sunshine.

    The sad part it was my father-in-law who told me about the article. He said Steve Simmons ripped the Jays a new one and although he couldn't exactly recount which GM the article spoke about, he generally agreed with Simmons. Unfortunately, he's getting old and battling cancer - so I had to bite my lip and nod along with him. To be fair to him, he thought it was Pat Gillick that went from selling tickets and working on the grounds crew, before working his way up to GM.

    MLB should do something about this. It seems really bizarre and wrong.

    http://m.torontosun.com/2017/10/14/simmons-new-jays-uninterested-in-teams-history-promoting-canadians Steve Simmons isn't happy with Shatkins.

    That was painful to watch. The catcher goes to talk to Edwards, then the pitching coach during the same AB vs. Darvish? I mean FFS - he knows it's the pitcher and that he should throw a strike. Talk about adding pressure to the situation. If you have to go visit the guy when he's facing the pitcher who isn't swinging - you need to pull him.

    why would you want him DH'ing? He's a 100 wRC+ player. If you want him DH'ing once a week, we need a new DH.
  18. Brownie19
    Sanchez to DH makes sense considering Ellsbury, Holliday + Headley can't hit. Might as well improve the D behind the plate.

    That more along the lines of what I was getting at. I know he projected as a backup before last season and all the reports said his bat sucked. Once healthy last year, he tore up AA in 150 PA's, with a high BB%, low K% + some pop like we've never seen before. I was just curious if he adopted a leg kick, or succumbed to the flyball rulz approach....something that might suggest the improvements are tangible and sustainable.

    2017 John Lackey - FIP 5.30, xFIP 4.62 2016 Ubaldo Jimenez - FIP 4.43 xFIP 4.64 Maddon went full Showalter. Never go full Showalter.
  21. Brownie19
    ohhhh. That's even better. Definitely something to watch for next year. High BB%, low K% with some power.
  22. Brownie19
    McGuire really hit well down the stretch this year. Has anyone read anything about a tangible change that might suggest it wasn't just a hot streak?
  23. Brownie19
    Equally awful. I expect more from our #1 foreign poster.
  24. Brownie19
    I saw that and looked him up on Fangraphs today too. He's 6'5. That's all I could gather. Worth a shot on a short term, cheap deal.
  25. Brownie19
    He forgot to do the double fist pump on the 29th anniversary of the Gibson walk-off. Thus, he is human. He missed a big opportunity there!
