    I suspect you're just tired of THANOS, but Happ threw his 2 seamer 5.7% of the time in Pittsburgh (with great success) - about half as much as he was in Seattle and almost 3 times less than he is this year. I suspect the 2S is his 3rd or 4th best pitch and thus there's certainly an argument to reducing it's usage - complete with evidence to support it. The same argument can be made with Stro's cutter and change up. Are they useful pitches when used/thrown properly...but when they are your 4th and 5th best pitch - sometimes less is more (you also have to consider how frequently he can throw them properly and/or if they've found the best sequencing to use them properly). Finally, let's not compare Happ's 2 seamer to Doc's and Webb's please. E: I have no idea what THANOS is talking about with his muscle confusion bit...

    insurance encase Thole gets hurt....

    Ok this really pisses me off. The biggest change (which is producing significantly better results) appears to be he's gone back to the 4 seamer (and away from the 2 seamer). The real question is - why was he throwing the 2 seamer so much early in the season? I guess there's a chance he starts hanging out with Sanchez and Stro and they are pumping the benefits of the 2 seamer and he decides it's a good idea to change his approach, but I'd have to assume it was influenced by this pitch to contact ******** (that's ruined Stroman) that the organization is promoting. The guy is lights out for 18 starts last year and what do we do? Try and change him and his pitch sequencing. I really hope he's given up on that nonsense and it back to doing to the things that made him amazing in Pittsburgh last year. If he is, he provides significant value to this team. I also hope Stroman's seen the light...

    Wow. I like this. Why not?
  5. Brownie19
    Wow.

    Thanks Jose - f***ing ****.
  7. Brownie19
    Jose cementing himself as our fulltime DH.

    Perhaps my joke was poor. I was trying to say that I have no stamina and thus the chubby porn stars don't tire out before I'm done. Let's move on.
  9. Brownie19
    Given my stamina - that's never been an issue.
  10. Brownie19
    I love me some chubby porn from time to time....they try harder.

    I swear he's Buck's son or something. Most bizarre string of posts I've ever seen on here.

    So you wonder if Melvin is male or not?
  13. Brownie19
    I guess there's no leaks if you don't read them right?

    Pete Walker probably loves how Cashner uses his big time arm to pitch to contact...
  15. Brownie19
    Um....moving Sanchez to the bullpen has nothing to do with his results sir. This is a basic concept.
  16. Brownie19
    No way. He's learned from the Pillar experiment. Jose is there to stay.
  17. Brownie19
    He's been about a 3 WAR player over his last 162 games. A solid player. I do find it interesting his defense has been below average this year. Should we be concerned? He's just slowing down with age I guess?
  18. Brownie19
    Craig Kimbrel never started in the minors. He's one of the best relievers of all-time.
  19. Brownie19
    Aren't we always hoping for that with Saunders and Jose flanking him?
  20. Brownie19
    Thank you. +1
  21. Brownie19
    You say that like Buck never does it....
  22. Brownie19
    If the Jays fall out - I'll be rooting for the Cubbies too.. 1908, great storylines.
  23. Brownie19
    Because it makes the Cubs better and we could face them in the WS?
  24. Brownie19
    I've beaten this horse to death. The real issue here is this trade decreases the Jays chances of winning the WS. f*** the cubs and yanks.

    Fine - Matt Bush and Billy Beane say hi. I'm just busting your balls. Scouting is obviously best done with a combination of numbers and visual support - and the visual is typically your best way of projection whether a player will take it to the next level (although it's an inexact science to say the least). Junior Lake is probably a good example of a player who was overhyped because he "looked" to have all the tools necessary to project as a ML starter (in spite of mediocre numbers). It obviously will never happen because dumn.
