    Whoa.....Sanchez gets through 5 with 7K and only 2 walks at 100 pitches and Gibby sends him out for the 6th? To face HanRam? questionable at best (although it worked). Tabby says "it's a cold night - you're not going to wear down"...

    So does Keith Foulke. What in-depth insight by Pedro...

    Isn't Headley phenomenal defensively? I would have thought Headley, Didi, Drew and Tex would be well above average defensively. Headley's a stud, Didi's a glove first SS, Drew was always really good defensively at SS and Tex used to be a GG'er...

    Who the heck said "suddenly"? Nobody expects a drastic change, but moderate gains over the course of the season isn't too difficult of grasp. To suggest he's made no improvement since 2010 is short sighted as he was trying to develop his 2nd and 3rd pitches in the minors. I'm not saying it's a guarantee to happen - but to shoot it down like it's some crazy concept is dumn. There are plenty of big prospects who came up with control issues who made adjustments and improvements as they grew, matured and gained experience.

    You assume every big league player is a study of the game who knows everything there is to know about mechanics. I highly doubt that's the case as many players get there based on god given talent (which is why we have huge coaching staffs these days). Finally, Pedro may understand his own mechanics - I fully expect he did.....but every pitcher has different mechanics. Castro is like 7 inches taller than him....does he know and understand the mechanics for all the different types of pitchers in baseball? Reality is - he's likely see a couple of videos on the kid, sees a tall, projectable body, a 97 MPH fastball with movement and a good change up and says "that kid looks special" - just like you and I do. Good news for Pedro is in 2 years if Castro flops - nobody will remember or call him out for being completely wrong about him.

    Remind me again what longstanding record Pedro has as a ML scout? I'm not sure why people give him credibility (as a scout) simply because he was good at the game himself. Was Trouble with the Curve based on Pedro's life as a scout? I didn't know his eyes were going on him...

    Why wouldn't you expect any improvement over the course of the season from a 22 year old? I'm not saying it's a guarantee, but I don't think anyone should be shocked it happened.

    The only guy I thought was a good fit who we didn't get was Jason Grilli. He'd look great in a Jays uni right now. Also - how about Alex Guerrero's start to the year? There were lots of us on here chatting about how AA could get him (funny enough because we thought we needed a 2nd baseman).

    We are second in the majors in runs scored....our lineup is better than "OK"....

    Hendrik has a FIP of 1.14 and a xFIP of 1.87 - he's been fantastic.

    I did - Ventura deserves to be knocked. out. cold. He should have used his nationality to calm him down and then sucker punched the punk to teach him a lesson.

    I'm honestly very surprised there isn't a thread dedicated to quotes by Buck and Tabby......they....are....awful.
  13. Brownie19
    I don't really get why people get so upset with these types of phrases.......If you listened to every home game, they would get very repetitive (like the come together commercials during Jays games), but I see nothing wrong with it.

    wRC+ of 98 last year and 85 for his career. If you're going to compare him to Goins and Thole - than yeah, I guess you have a point. The only thing he hits is the late night buffet.

    I think I heard Posada was getting his retired too. He had just over 44 WAR for his career, so would be equally deserving. They were joking the Yanks will have to go to triple digits soon. I agree it's only questioned b/c it's the Yanks and they have so many retired already. Interesting to see Bernie Williams when from having 6 straight years of 4.8 - 5.1 WAR (amazing consistency) straight to 4 straight years below replacement level to finish off his career.....those 4 years were driven by awful defense in CF when he obviously should have been moved there - but that's still a crazy drop off.
  16. Brownie19
    Dumn dumn question here. Can you lose WAR you've already generated in a season? ie, is there a possibility for Travis to end the season with a WAR under 1.0?
  17. Brownie19
    He's a 4th OFer guys. A good one. Why do we need 2 pages to come to this conclusion?

    I never understood how so many people missed what Billy Beane was doing. Billy Beane wasn't married to OBP.....he was simply looking for underrated value. He looked for skill sets that were grossly undervalued and underrated by the rest of baseball. During the Moneyball era - that was OBP. Over the past 3-4 years, it's been guys with big platoon splits...

    It's like the only games you've ever attended were on opening day...

    Go read your post again...it was self explanatory. Restaurants serve alcohol too....and kids are allowed in them.

    It was just a little tiring seeing people rip Sanchez all spring long while Norris walked on clouds like the guy on the Old Spice commercials. There's no evidence to suggest his struggles with control are at all related to this "dead arm" he's now claiming to have.....maybe it's causing it, but considering he's has significant issues with control in the minors - I'm not convinced. That all said - I do hope Norris figures out this dead arm thing and goes on to have a great year/career...as a Jays fan, a lot of the teams future really rides on that unfortunately.

    ban... Honestly man, a MLB game has to be one of the MOST family oriented sporting events you can attend.
  23. Brownie19
    He's only hitting right handed???
  24. Brownie19
    Shouldn't we have expected Norris to struggle with his command/control? Career BB/9 of like 4.0 in the minors. Everyone ripped on Sanchez all spring for his poor control (and rightfully so) while seemingly ignoring that Norris and his cool lifestyle, hipster van and handsome beard has the same flaw.
  25. Brownie19
    Maybe a sign that says 'pay attention' would help...
