Where is anyone talking about batting avg?
This seems to be your go to catch phrase. On the site and podcasts.
I have seen no one on this site, nor on this thread measuring a hitter by soley batting avg or pitchers by wins for that matter.
Having said that, as it refers to batting avg, it should not be entirely discounted just because there are other more advanced metrics. Everything needs to be taken in totality..
Agree before hand what metrics you want to use. OBP, OPS, SLG, wOBp, WRC+, avg, EBH, style points for bat flips. I dont care as long as it is fair. If one guy has higher in 3 out of 4 categories for example, that guy wins..
You guys are all a bunch of betting fiends on here.
Let’s make a bet, if given same # of ABs, I bet Reese outhits Martin next year. Take highest avg of all relevant stats.
Problem is, probably will not to be able to do that comparison on the Blue Jays..
Me, as someone who wants a winner, and me who is a fan who spends money on tickets. The kid is a gamer and I would much rather go spend hundreds of dollars to go to that concrete behemoth and watch Reese , Rowdy and Borucki then Martin and Morales and some has been veteran SP...
I also think Reese will out hit Martin (which isn't hard) if given an opportunity..
Then make Russel a 20 million a year coach.. Because that is what you are suggesting he be there for.. Coaching... Dump him, eat some salary, then let the kids play, bring in a great catcher coach (Sal the mustache or someone), then offer Martin a position in a year after his contract is up...
We will not have roster management flexibility and efficiency with Martin being dead weight so he can "coach".
With all due respect, I disagree. There is no way the Jays call him up on a sub 500 team and lose a year of control. Regardless of pressure.
Yes, the injury delayed the promotion to AAA, agree.
The White Sox didnt call up their uber prospect either and he was not in the same boat, except for the fact the White Sox want to save the year of control also.
He did a video on MLB about the amount of teenagers in the AFL.
When talking about Vlad jr, he states that Vlad was not in the majors this year because he was injured and the injury set him back. He is going to the AFL to make up the ABs he lost due to injury.
Even a casual Blue Jays fan or a fan of speedy lead off guys, knows that there was no fnnn way Vlad was coming up to the majors this year, injury or no injury.
It is all about the extra year of control and for him to say otherwise and say that Vlad is in the AFL soley to make up ABs, makes him an idiot.
Listen, it is fine to tell us about other viewing options on TV.. However, I really think it has no bearing on anything and you dont need to share with the board what night you and your girlfriend have unprotected sex...
People like me? That sounds very racist.. Are you assuming I am Latino because of Carlos in my screen name? First you go after poor Angel Hernandez and now you are going after Carlos.. I bet you love doing the racist Tomahawk chop.. Actually, I saw a post where you even wrote out the racist war chant.
All of us disenfranchized and marganalized posters on this board need to get together and resist!! Come on all you men, woman and non-specific gender “theys” . Fight the oppression of 70 yr old white men like Box and his ilk..
I have heard a lot of people say he is the type of pitcher the Jays should target next year for a SP.
I dont agree.. but the price just got a lot lower..
Yes, my favorite stadium of all I have been to.
Not much directly around the stadium, but they tailgate for baseball like an NFL game.
Great atmosphere and should be rockin for a playoff game.
Some of you SJWs need to get a life if you think there is any intended racisim in the Tomahawk Chop.
If it is to be critized it is because they blatantly stole it from FSU. The FSU Seminoles where all the related Seminole Indian regala like Chief Osceola etc have the full blessing of the Seminole Tribe.
I am a Gator so I think FSU sucks, but I won’t let that get in the way of facts.
I am drunk. I like beer. I drank beer in high school and I still like beer. No, Spanky did not highjack my profile.. It is too early for him.. he is probably still passed out.
Speaking of beer. Do you know how much of a pain of in the ass it is to get a beer and hotdog at Fenway Park? It blows. They cant even give away free beer at the Embassy Suites in M******* because their liquor and beer laws are just as f***ed up as Ontario..
Speaking of Beer. The Brewers Field is my favourite baseball stadium. Cool atmosphere pre-game, in-game and awsesome stadium. I have been to quite a few, but #1 is the Brew Crew.
I want the Red Sox to win. Even though I can’t stand Pochohontas.
David Price is snakebit...
