    Close. Was reading an interview with Pillar where he says the only difference to hitting lead off is that he looks for strike 1 on the first pitch of the game.

    Let's see how our lineup does, one of the worst we've put out all season so baseball being baseball they'll hopefully rake against Sale the ace.

    Benintendi is quick

    Buck is a lot better as a co commentator, I quite like him.

    Truthbomb #3: truthbomb #1 is bollocks

    According to this Gurriel reinjured his leg.

    It's better than the day before, when people were arguing about paedophilia.

    Being used as a reliever, only pitched 4 innings so far and wasn't great on Sunday.

    In his young photo his mouth is closed, in his old photo he's showing off his gap teeth, while grimacing.

    CC Sabathia looks like one of those faces of meth comparisons.

    The Reds are 9-5 and Drew Storen just did this: Reds' Storen strikes out side on nine pitches Meanwhile Bautista, Pearce and Travis are busy ruining their careers in our 2-11 start. Early season baseball is crazy this year!
  12. Bobthe4th
    I agree but he was harmed by having options left.
  13. Bobthe4th
    Well he was annoyed at Colorado that they traded him with no notice, when they previously, repeatedly, told him that they wouldn't do that. I think if he was involved and kept up to date he'd potentially be open to a trade that works for him.
  14. Bobthe4th
    He should go on the 10 day to give him some rest and make sure he's OK. We may have dodged a bullet there, with the way this season has started I think most of us feared he was done for the year!

    I think Tulo could still be traded at the end of this year and bring back something worthwhile IF he has a OK to good year with the bat, AND we take on salary in return. Maybe a team with an overpaid OF who wants an experienced middle infielder would be a fit. Gurriel (if he doesn't end up in the outfield) or Urena would be potential candidates for internal replacements.
  16. Bobthe4th
    There are 150 games left. Yeah I agree with you on the principle and would in theory support trading (for example) Tulo. But my main point is that the "core" is not just old players who will only get worse. There's lots of quality players that I'm optimistic about for at least the next few years. It's just too early to know for certain which is why we're having this debate.
  17. Bobthe4th
    It's not the whole point though. If you believe there is no chance of playoffs either this year or next year, then yes you may as well trade everyone you can, and hope enough prospects come through (including ones you've acquired) so that we can compete again in 2020 and beyond. In that scenario you're only really wasting the 2019 season, in exchange for a bigger chance of succeeding in the future. However, even if you think this season is already a write off (and IMO it's still too early for that), next season isn't a write off until we see if any of the existing prospects make it, and people like Travis and Pearce can be counted on. So for me, right now, it's not worth writing off 2018 and 2019 by trading everyone.
  18. Bobthe4th
    If we're lucky Gurriel, Alford, Tellez and SRF could all replace gaps on the roster as early as next year. Of course any or all of them may bust, but the same is true for any prospects we'd get if we blow up the roster.
  19. Bobthe4th
    I doubt you'll find many who would roll back that trade and take Jose Reyes back.
  20. Bobthe4th
    That's not unique to the Jays though, any baseball team that is playing badly is going to experience a drop in attendance. For a lot of people live sport is entertainment, and there's nothing wrong with that.
  21. Bobthe4th
    Under the new rules you can't qualify a player twice so that's not an option.

    Isaiah Thomas' sister killed in car crash Damn, tragic.
  23. Bobthe4th
    Yeah he's probably just as shocked as we are that he's been terrible - it's bad enough for us but when he can't understand why it's not working for him it must be so frustrating.
  24. Bobthe4th
    Happ = left elbow soreness. Could this game have gone any worse?
  25. Bobthe4th
    Well that got bad quickly
