    Where does my boy Pillar land on this list? Like serious - is there anyone on the Jays more "likeable" right now? Not a chance (OK Stro and his legendary comeback is a close 2nd).

    It's extremely difficult for Jose to be a superstar when umpires are terrible at their jobs. I do wish he'd hid his anger a tad more, but I understand his position.
  3. Brownie19
    Guess the answer was "yes"

    Give it a rest - I'm not blind to the truth. I don't think he's the next coming of Robbie Alomar, but I think there's a chance he can put up a wRC+ above 85 moving forward. I'm just not prepared to write off the improvements Goins showed in the 2nd half after 1 playoff series. I'm a huge fan who's caught up in my love for this team - sorry for trying to stay positive....it's kind a fun, you should try it.

    Yeah that's exactly what I'm saying. I'm saying players can make adjustments and sustain improvement. Obviously I used a player who's adjustments made a major change (I could have used Zobrist at age 27), but there are players who work their tail off, study film and made steady improvements as their careers go on. Pillar's doing it too. Personally, I love these types of players - the ones who squeeze every ouch of talent out of their bodies. Goins makes changes, shows tangible improvement in the 2nd half (wRC+ of 108), is huge for this team, has a bad playoff series facing a ton of lefties and BAM - the "I told you so" guys come out in droves like they win a metal.

    wRC+ by month Apr - 133 May - 100 June - 102 July - 58 Aug - 48 Sept - 139 I'm sure happy the Jays didn't dismiss September as an "outliner" when Joey Bats made adjustments in 2009...

    Goins wRC+ of 84 would have been 10th in the majors for qualified shortstops. 18th in the majors for qualified 2nd basemen. You add in his defense and he basically was the definition of an average middle infielder this year...

    Couple of factors: 1. Pitching in the playoffs is significantly better than it is in the regular season. 2. He saw lefties almost exclusively. 3. Nerves/inexperience - which is natural. It's so sad to see people jump back to the "Goins can't hit" stuff - cut the man some slack. He's worked his tail off all season, made some adjustments and showed tangible improvement as the season wore on. Can't you just appreciate that and cheer for the guy? I'm not sold that Goins is a full time major league starter either, but he played remarkable down the stretch for this team when the pair of Glass Joes (Tulo & Travis) hit the DL. Who actually enjoys being the "I told you so" guy?

    Should give Baez an opportunity to show what he can do....might be a more potent bat than Russell....
  10. Brownie19
    I think it's awesome that Doc Brown wants to throw out the first pitch if the Cubs make the World Series.
  11. Brownie19
    Dude hasn't even hit puberty yet man...take it easy on him.
  12. Brownie19
    Exactly. If some ******* showers me with beer and hits me with a beer can - I'm furious and telling security whether I'm holding a baby or a beer myself. If you're too stupid or drunk to control yourself at an amazing baseball game - go play in traffic.
  13. Brownie19
    Apologize for my dumness
  14. Brownie19
    I know most here don't believe in Sanchez as a starter. I'm curious if the new cutter/slider he developed late (which appears to be a plus pitch) changes your opinion. I fully expect the answer is no because his control is still a massive issue, but I'm curious.
  15. Brownie19
    Holy f*** you're clueless. Did the wife miss the board and hit you a couple of times or something?
  16. Brownie19
    You can't be serious man. That baffles me. The best thing about a baseball game is seeing a 5-14 year old enjoying a baseball game. Hoping to catch a fly ball or get an autograph, asking their father questions about the game and developing a bond that will last a lifetime. It doesn't get better than that.
  17. Brownie19
    Man it completely changes your life - vast majority of the time for the better. Think about how much you loved the Jays before last night. Now think about how you felt about the Jays when Bats hit the bomb last night.....that's the type of difference a kid can make.
  18. Brownie19
    That's a good movie...
  19. Brownie19
    My bad - I was saying it's dumb NOT to have ear protection on your baby. That's a given guys - although reading back - I did not articulate that very well.
  20. Brownie19
    Depends what ages you're talking about. You can't really get babysitters for kids under 6 months old - even up to a year it's hard man.
  21. Brownie19
    I tend to applaud parents who don't let a newborn "end" their social life. I have friends who had kids and I didn't see them for 4 years because they couldn't break routine and though their child would parish if not contained within a bubble. To be honest - kids under 6 months old are extremely easy to look after. All they do is eat, sleep and s*** in a 2 hour cycle - the issue is that sequence continues throughout the night. You can basically take them anywhere without them being much of a nuisance to your enjoyment. You want to see a nuisance? Take a 2 or 3 year old with you. Total. utter. chaos. I hear the concern re: ear protection - that's just dumb. I don't think jumping around poses much danger (despite popular belief by those people without kids - they aren't china dolls) and I'd love to believe we live in a world where you don't have to worry about being showered with beer cans, beer and debris at a sporting event (however, people are idiots). I personally don't think I'd do it, but I don't think it's as bad as some of you people make it out to be.

    For the life of me - I never in a million years thought we'd be considering whether Pillar would be the ALDS MVP. WHAT a season. I whole heartily love the man. I don't think he's a 5 WAR player - but he WILL forever have a spot in my heart!
  23. Brownie19
    unfortunately, Buehrle isn't that hard on lefties or he'd be an ideal LOOGY to have. We really have a hole with Cecil hurt.
  24. Brownie19
    Likely said already (I'm not reading 160 pages). But when he hurt his knee, Stro said the comeback would be legendary...he was right. How amazing is this kid?
  25. Brownie19
    One of those "where were you when" moments you'll never forget
