You know what prevents someone from voting 35 times in person? when that person has a life and couldn't be bothered voting once, let alone 35 times. Or how about a conscious that tells them they already voted once and stuffing the ballot box is wrong?
-
No - once per day is also stupid. You get 1 vote. That's it. I acknowledge they have no way of tracking votes by alternative sources and some nerd is going to find a loop hole - but why on earth would you set it up to allow/promote more than 1 vote per person? I say the general public is too stupid to make proper assessments and educated votes for the best players in MLB......and yes, I feel the same way about local, provincial and federal elections.
-
I never understood why you're allowed to vote more than once. So stupid......so, so stupid.
-
hence why they are trying this new technology? -
Wow - and Maybin is doing that with a negative on defense....what a find he's been so far. Shelby Miller: 1.3 WAR Jason Heyward: -0.3 WAR Braves GM is smart. Padres GM is smrt.

Lawrie vs. Trout - 2011 http://www.minorleagueball.com/2011/9/13/2423308/can-god-create-a-prospect-he-cant-get-out-brett-lawrie-vs-mike-trout Apparently fans wanted Lawrie over Trout long term. dumn x 100?

I've done stadium tours at Yankee Stadium, Fenway and Wrigley. Obviously all 3 are waaaaayyyyyyyy cooler and more interesting than Rogers Centre - but I must say I enjoyed the tour as much - if not more than the games themselves. I've never done the RC tour, but I suspect you'll find it interesting.
-
and I'm in the wrong thread...meh
-
Power hitter Carl Wise in the 4th round. Apparently he won't stick at 3rd.
-
^this. It's so painful to see how close we were to Giolitto...
-
But things did go well for Stroman....
-
and go f*** yourself.
-
Like Stroman?
-
There's absolutely nothing to suggest he'll play over Carerra when he cools off. What a ridiculously stupid assumption. The Jays are riding the hot hand right now, while sacrificing some defense along the way. There's an extremely strong chance that Carerra's also "hot" right now and that he'll regress significantly if given everyday at bats.
-
I don't understand people on here sometimes... You're complaining about his defense? He's a first baseman who's been asked to play out of position - what did you expect? Would you s*** all over EE or Smoak if they drew the short straw and were stuck out there? Even after this obvious point has been made - people continue to say moronic things like "how do you like him, he plays the worst defense of all time". Stupid. Any why can't we just enjoy a hot streak for what it is? We all know the regression gods will hit him at some point....but no, no, that's not good enough, we have to point that out like 32 times in one thread.
-
Did they review this play? It kind of looks like Rizzo missed the tag (tries to tag his right hand, which Robinson holds back while putting his left hand on the bag...) Regardless, this obviously was incredibly stupid
-
So if a player smiles a lot - nobody can criticize his rapidly declining play?
-
Agreed - outside of the smiling comment - why are people criticising Jerry for stating facts? Could someone who thinks Jerry is out of line please explain? If Jerry comes on tomorrow and says R.A. Dickey simply isn't doing his job so far this year and he needs to make the necessary adjustments - would are we going to hate on him too? What if he says Pillar isn't a very good hitter or that EE is swinging and missing a lot more than he ever did before....
-
For all we know, this was all edited by the PR manager and is completely fabricated.
-
I think as a board we had...until Jerry brought it up. Blame him.
-
His body is breaking down - I get that and I do blame AA for this situation, but you say that like no player in history has ever slowed their decline....he's only 31 - I don't think it's completely unfair to expect him to at least sustain some of his skills.
-
Fair point - I was talking about when he says he was just 6 games back from the DL and still not in the swing of things, etc....he certainly made some excuses in there. Also a fair point about his defense in LF/2nd - I'm assuming based on general opinion that LF and 2nd are easier to play.
-
I don't get it. Jerry said: - a shortstop that's not going to get better - defense is porous - $46M owed for 2016/17 is a tough situation for the Jays - offense has fallen off from where it was - smiles too much Outside of the ridiculous comment about smiling too much - Jerry is just stating the facts - many of which have been reiterated on this board excessively. Don't we want announcers to tell it the way it is instead of trying to massage the truth in favour of the home team (Wilner). I'm not going to lobby for Goins to start over him - but it's all true. He's better off defensively at 2nd/LF, his offense has fallen off the table (wRC+ 142 to 109 to 113 to 102 to 77, BB% 7.3 to 8.8 to 8.1 to 5.8 to 2.8), his contract is a burden and he's likely not going to get any better. I don't think Jerry deserves much criticism here. Jose needs to stop making excuses, work hard and get better.
-
I think he's just suggesting he's playing way over his head right now. 23% K 3% BB would suggest he's correct and his slash numbers will drop as the season progresses.
-
The discussion was in terms of the general concept - not the specific results....and if I recall, it was ironic b/c everyone wanted Navarro moved for a bullpen arm.
