  1. I had a guy who worked for me called Mr. White, blackest guy you have ever seen. You never know....
  2. Fast black guy... Of course he should... Slap that ball, get on base, steal a base, go 2nd to home on a single.. Make Ben Revere proud!
  3. Dude, love your initiative.. However, I got to ask.. What is your record in GDTs?
  4. While technically Atkins was there for a few days when this occurred and to his credit would have had to approve it, from various accounts, our signing of Estrada, Happ and getting Biagini was all LaCava..
  5. If I recall, he was always more excited about Fister and Dickey.
  6. I think to sum up Shapiro and Atkins.. They have a good business plan on paper.. I am not sure when they promised a Return on investment/Profits (WINS) to Rogers. The fact is, everything you do as an organization whether drafting, spring training facilities, technology, etc is all to achieve success at for the ML team. So far they have not achieved that. I think historically, GMs have had 5 years to show results. I think we are going in the right direction, but again at the end of the day we still do not have a return on investment/profits (WINS). It is great that we have a top 5 system or that our AA or A ball teams are winning... However, our ML team is still not. I am willing to give them until the 2020 team. If the 2020 team does not get a playoff spot or is in the hunt until the last day.. I will think that we need to start questioning their performance.
  7. Wasn't trying to suggest anything. Simply stating a facetious reply to the OP who I also believe was being facetious. I do think that Canada, who is much more closely aligned in business and trade with the US then Europe made things more difficult and costlier when they switched to metric. It would have made much more sense if Canada was a country in Europe and not North America. Gay in this use has absolutely no sexual connotation nor is supposed to be disparaging as to ones sexual preference. The word has many connotations, such as the original meaning as feeling happy. The word is not solely a one meaning word and solely derogatory or to infer sexual preference. It is not a word such as the N word which is an absolute no no and has no other connotations. However, in order to appease those who might be more sensitive or easily offended, I will strive to use another word to get my thoughts on something across.. Like OMG, that is the most sappy (no offense to Maple trees) video I have ever seen.. Or Almost as Trudeau (no offense to the Liberal Party of Canada) as using liters instead of gallons.
  8. So in Canada it is not 90' between bases and 60' 6 " from the mound to home plate..? In hoser baseball the mound is 18.4 meters. from home plate..? Almost as gay as liters instead of gallons when filling up your car... By the way, liters is just a Govt conspiracy to make you not notice how much gas really costs and how much you are taxed/ getting screwed every-time you go to the pump in Canada.
  9. God dang, we have another smiley Jose Reyes except without the bat..
  10. Not even that, he was DFAd.. He should be in the 8 or 9 spot, not 2!! Ks kill, couldn't even get a damn Sac fly of FC:mad:
  11. Can’t be super utility if you play only SS & 2b. Experiment on the fly I guess.
  12. I thought Law had options and was going to AAA?
  13. Unions advocate for issues, however the two examples you have are laws that were passed by legislative bodies, not parts of a CBA. Child labor laws are an international issue and there are international laws. The work week is set by the law of whatever country etc. Unions also force inefficiency and waste, increase costs that have nothing to do with worker's rights. This isn't the 1920s anymore where Unions had their place...
  14. Obviously Plato and one of the Hansen brothers probably...
  15. He was awarded a double on the score sheet. He was thrown out at 3rd trying to extend to a triple.. I was replying to the "quality" of the hits yesterday. I am not saying he has been tearing it up since day one. Fact of the matter is, he got two hits yesterday and 2 RBIs. It totally depends on the players strengths and familiarization as to which is easier to play SS, vs. 2b. Some players like making the throw more direct to 1B. Yes, you need more range at SS and a stronger arm, however, when turning two you can run straight at 2b and make a straight throw etc. It has been pointed out repeatedly that Gurriel has more issues with the throws/angles footwork at 2b. Ask Gurriel, I will translate for you. From every report I have seen, he prefers and is more comfortable and has shown to be better at SS vs. 2b.
  16. I am a result oriented person, not so much how you got there.. The fact of the matter, irrespective of exit velocity.. He got two hits, one a double and 2 RBIs. He very well could have Kd, our first run was because a hitter put a ball in play and the 3b made an error..Gurriel put balls in play. It is early, as mentioned I think he hits better when he is SS.. I feel 2b is not his strength and his D gets in his head at the plate. Just like when EE was 3B(E5). We have given many hitters much more leash... Still early... He will come around...
  17. You realize he got two hits in yesterday’s game, correct?
  18. Where was Teo with the sunflower seeds? Did someone tell him he needs to clean up his mess?
  19. I don't agree with this unless it is in vacuum. As far a a team concept I would rather have my guy in this case with a higher OBP then power. The above example only accounts for runs this player creates. If we have guys like Vlad and Bichette on the Horizon, I want players on base for them to hit with for power rather then a guy who gets on base less but gets more doubles etc.
  20. If you read between the lines when you listen to Atkins, and a degree to Shapiro; Especially this AM when Atkins was talking about the Acuna extension comp. One, Acuna had a bunch of ML ABs.. Vlad zero.. But, all the other stuff, Atkins says is basically PC stuff for saying yea, we think he can hit, but Acuna is a CF in good shape and Vlad is a fat body probably going to get fatter... There is a real concern with aspects of Vlad apart from his bat..
  21. I find watching the opposing feed you get a better analysis of the team's weaknesses. The Rogers team (Radio and TV) is not allowed to be or just are not that critical of the team. Jerry Howorth spoke about this and what happened when he was critical of Reyes.. Double plays that should have been turned, swinging at balls way outside the zone, not playing heads up baseball, or not hitting cut off men, hustle down the line etc. Many times the Rogers teams will gloss over these things... The opposing broadcast crews call it as they see it.. It help me become more objective about the team and players.
  22. Unfortunately I do, I just don't see pre-game/anthem etc, or out of town updates, post game show, when they go to the studio where Zaun used to be.. Only the game y ya.
  23. If you listen to Atkins comments today.. I believe Socrates will be on the 25 and Alford will be at AAA tomorrow. Socrates has had sufficient AAA ABs, Alford has not is basically what Ross said.. Doesn't want Alford to be with the Club as a 4th OF. When he is with us wants him to be regular player.
