    I think this is bang on and I think the Jays knew it and game planned accordingly. It will be very interesting to see the pitch sequencing vs. another aggressive team.

    I can't help but think about all the called strikes that Maddux and Glavine used to get. Great childhood memories. Maddux was the best.

    Remember when the Angels traded for Vernon Wells?

    Morneau on the DL may be worth more than Smoak in our lineup...

    I think you're underestimating the potential skill changes you saw in Dickey in 2012. His SwStr% jumped from 8 to 12% which sent his K/9 wayyy up to 8+ and I thought reason for the change was he'd learned how to throw his knuckle harder than ever before (and he did max out at 77.1 MPH in 2012, which was 1-1.5 MPH fast than the previous (and current) version we see. The flaw may have been assuming he'd be able to sustain that velocity, which seemingly had a massive impact on his effectiveness. I'd argue those who seemingly "knew" Dickey would never replicate his 2012 season (or come close) should also have strongly been against the JA Happ signing this year...based on the assumption the tangible skill change wouldn't be sustainable.

    A lot of people forget we had very little budget left (something like $5M +/-), so they got the best pitcher they could within their budget constraints. To get a Cy Young winner making $5M a year was a pretty solid coup when you're pushing all your chips in and saying it's time to win now. http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/prospects/rankings/top-100-prospects/2012/2612998.html Take a look at the top prospects list in 2012. (If they were in our farm system) we could have traded Julio Teheran and Jesus Montero - the 5th and 6th top prospects in baseball for Dickey and we'd be considering it a "win" right now. Thor could have turned into Matt Moore, Shelby Miller, Trevor Bauer, Dylan Bundy, Tyler Skaggs, Danny Hultzen, Jacob Turner, Mike Montgomery, Jarrod Parker, etc....all of whom were as sought after as Thor at the time of the trade....and nobody would still be talking about this trade (although it looks like Moore may still turn out to be a stud). There is a considerable amount of luck involved in making trades. No need to continue harping on it (although it sucks donkey cock that Thor isn't in a Jays uni).

    Let's be honest, right now he looks like he could be one of the best pitchers of all time...
  8. Brownie19
    Yeah I don't think he's a bad fit either, unless he wants/can get $20M+ a year...then I'll pass. 4 years $50M - sign him up.

    Decline due to age

    Can we repost this. I missed it and I'm interested.

    Jack just chirped the s*** out of everyone in the first three rows. That was seriously awesome.

    We didn't have any budget.....

    lean into one Tulo!
  14. Brownie19
    Don't worry - the 4th member of Mt. Crushmore is up.....ahhhh eerrr... wait, nevermind.
  15. Brownie19
    cut it down man....
  16. Brownie19
    whaaa? yur dumn.
  17. Brownie19
    bump - what were they saying? are they talking about the spin on pitches? They aren't using advanced info like that are they?
  18. Brownie19
    go kick the bats over - wake them up. That always works!
  19. Brownie19
    What's he saying?
  20. Brownie19
    And b/c their pitchers have the same s*** in their arms. Perhaps they just aren't as blatant with the application as Buchholz is. So greasy.
  21. Brownie19
    Bullfrog sunscreen and rosin. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1633383-report-claims-90-percent-of-pitchers-use-sunscreen-to-grip-ball-better Funny enough - Buchholz is the cover man for this approach, which everyone uses. From what I read, it's to give you better grip. I'd rather pitchers have a good grip when throwing 90+ MPH. It's funny watching the pitchers put on sunscreen for the night games... Pineda had pine tar...he's dumn because you can visually see it.

  23. Brownie19
    I think its established that pitchers are getting paid these days. That has nothing to do with Reddick. Btw, I wish we signed Shark
  24. Brownie19
    FFS - my 5 year old just learned the lineup...
  25. Brownie19
    Apparently he ditched the leg kick at the end of spring training. Wish he'd bring it back. His toe tap looks awkward.
