    I also had a Travis Snider signed ball - but I gave it to my son to play with in the front yard.

    Jason Frasor autographed baseball - with certificate of authenticity....BAM

    Wait - are we talking about umpires or teachers now? FWIW - I'm against robot umps. I still enjoy the element of human error, I'd like to see them held accountable when they are awful at their job, but I've come to realise that won't happen when unions are involved.

    I think the board should give some kudos to Sanchez for battling out of the 4th inning last night. So much of this game is mental and to battle out of that and then go on to pitch significantly better in the 5th, 6th and 7th was fun to watch. I have no idea if this kid will ever succeed, but here's hoping he's developing some confidence, the ability to adjust and to simply overcome adversity. As Jays fans, we need him to.

    James Harden looks retarded.

    Hey Captain Obvious - you've been working hard. Take a break.

    Most teams don't have 2 WAR guys sitting around waiting for injuries. That simply isn't true (outside of Washington). Typically they have a vet who's been good in the past who cant quite crack the rotation, or they have a young prospect who's almost ready to make the jump to the majors. The Jays have Estrada's put up 1.7 WAR in 2013 and 3.2 in 2012 and they have Norris and Sanchez who fit the bill as the top prospects who are almost ready (theoretically). The Dodgers spent a zillion dollars on payroll this year and they are using Scott Baker. They Jays are no different that the VAST majority of MLB teams.

    What team doesn't have that happen when their best pitcher gets hurt???
  9. Brownie19
    Correct North - Shields and his 6.12 playoff ERA... The Royals rotation was Shields, Ventura, Guthrie, Vargas and Danny Duffy (who didn't start in the playoffs). Stroman was better than Shields last year, Ventura and Duffy were rookies, Vargas is a soft tossing lefty and Guthrie is a declining vet...

    I just want to record which rotations you think are better than the one AA constructed this year (prior to the Stro injury). Also - what elite pitcher took KC to the final last year?
  11. Brownie19
    Unfortunately - that's how Gibbons manages...
  12. Brownie19
    Aren't they the same person?
  13. Brownie19
    While you're crafting your list of better rotations, why don't you learn me on that teams that ARE built to put up runs when they're up against the other teams best pitchers like David Price.
  14. Brownie19
    I'm amazing how you don't even get my point... How many full season's has Wacha pitched?
  15. Brownie19
    Ervin Santana, Andrew Miller and David Robertson sure would have helped our rotation....awesome.
  16. Brownie19
    It's not like he was pitching in Petco last year....Brewer's stadium is a launching pad too.

    I love how you downplay Stroman because he's never gotten through a full season - and then throw out how Wacha is great and is better than anyone in our rotation. The Dodgers have Scott Baker and Carlos Frías in their rotation right now. Is that the type of depth you're talking about? Listing 2 great pitchers and then referring to them as "depth" makes me wonder if you know what the definition of depth is...
  19. Brownie19
    This isn't MLB 2015. Leaves LA with no CFer and EE or Gonzo as a bench bat. Obviously from the Jays perspective, that would be an awesome return....I mean how amazing would it to have any one of those 3? But it's just not happening. Dodgers need pitching with Ryu and McCarthy hurt (just like AA, the Zaidi is a piss poor GM who didn't sign multiple stud veteran FA pitchers to serve as their 6th and 7th starter).
  20. Brownie19
    Wat??? Selfish? Did they not share their poutine with you at Harvey's or something?
  21. Brownie19
    Said every GM in baseball. That's Captain Obvious - you can take a break now. Have a kitkat.
  22. Brownie19
    Do you think the Cards GM and the Dodgers GM are terrible too because Wainwright and Ryu/McCarthy got hurt? Storman Hutch Dickey Buehrle Norris/Sanchez/Estrada That's the rotation AA put together. Care to tell me which rotations in baseball you consider to be good enough? Which ones didn't rely on unproven arms or aging veterans? Which ones had ample depth to deal with major injuries to their best pitchers? I'd love to see your list.
  23. Brownie19
    AA also bought that Stroman voodoo doll and stabbed it in the knee!!! fire him!!
  24. Brownie19
    Does anyone hate defense and/or baseball more than Hanley Ramirez?
  25. Brownie19
    If we are sticking Valencia and Goins in LF - what about Smoak? The man needs some at bats but is glued to the pine with E5 and Jose at 1st and DH for the foreseeable future.
