What are the Jays going to do about Chris Bassitts camo T-Shirt day? That’s tomorrow and he is not pitching?

Let's go Omar, bring us a win with your GDT!!!!

Our top RP and top SP both with some type of injury/issue.. Not good...

Witt for me. Maybe one of those guys will really work out. I remember when I sent a bunch of specs for JRam. Only one of the group worked out and I have JRam. Witt has the potential to surpass.

Fun fact: Varsho has hit like s*** the first half. Career lows. He has no where to go but up and based on his track record he will. Moreno: 3 Hrs Varsho: 12 Hrs

We were trying to explain to you for days baseball fundamentals that you clearly have no idea about. You came on here posting vitriol after every game if Varsho didn't go 5-5 and we were trying to point out some things ( a lot of things) that clearly went over your head and you can't comprehend. I'm one of the nicest guys and most laid back guys on this forum dude. Having said that, I also will call out BS and I will always give substance to why I think something is BS or I don't agree with it. I will also come at you twice as hard if you come at me. I predicted a Varsho HR in a GDT and he didn't get one and you post that s***? Jesus dude, are you 12 years old?

Good win, fun game to watch. Playing AZ is much more interesting then playing DET and CWS etc

Good baserunning and run prevention - Not present with D-Backs today and hence they are losing.

And 2 seconds after they said how dumb that stat was and were laughing about it. Buck and Pat can't hold Dan's jock strap.

I predict a Varsho HR this game.

Are you serious?

I think the HR derby is good for a guy like Vlad. It keeps the damn ball from getting pounded into the ground.

How long have they had these TD patches on their uniforms? They look like crap.. Like some Cub Scout patch..

So basically Thor?

We need to do something to keep our SPs fresh and not tax the pen.. There is a 100% symbiotic relationship with our pen success vs SP IPs per game. Short starts, bad pen.

I think this is the best move. My pre-season prediction based on Kikuchi's history was that he would possibly be an All-Star first half, and he would be s***** second half. I have never seen the durability or sustainability from him for a full season. I think your solution is the best way to get the most out of Kikuchi. SP first half, RP, second half.

You misinterpreted my whole post. I was and am saying there were writers saying that Ortiz should not be a first round HoF and then posted a list using WAR comparisons of recent first round HoF, showing Ortiz all the way at the bottom of the list. I will try to post it, but this board always gives me issues with my pics. David Ortiz should have been a first round HoF. Using a WAR vs his position playing peers, was an unjust comparison that was screwing with him. Some highlights of just one article I remember seeing, below.... David Ortiz Had a Great MLB Career, but Not First-Ballot Hall of Fame Great The easiest place to start for the sake of comparing Ortiz to that group is with wins above replacement or WAR, which provides a numerical figure for the number of wins a player was worth to his team above a replacement-level player over the course of his career. Chipper Jones: 85.3 Ken Griffey Jr.: 83.8 Jeff Bagwell: 79.9 Frank Thomas: 73.8 Jim Thome: 73.1 Larry Walker: 72.7 Derek Jeter: 71.3 Barry Larkin: 70.5 Ivan Rodriguez: 68.7 Edgar Martinez: 68.4 Roberto Alomar: 67.0 Craig Biggio: 65.4 Mike Piazza: 59.5 Vladimir Guerrero: 59.5 David Ortiz: 55.3

If Hatteberg can do it, anyone can

My issue with WAR was very specific to David Ortiz and the HoF voters using it as a relative stat to judge David Ortiz against his peers and those already in the HoF. My issue was not with the metric, it was the use of the metric. Unfortunately, there were baseball writers using a WAR comparison for Ortiz who obviously played DH a significant amount of the part of his career that he had the most success. And thank you Tom for being here and taking everyone's questions.

David Ortiz is example A of why WAR can be flawed.

So just as a draft related FYI. I have some mutual friends on my FB page that had posted some pics and video from April of this year of Charlee Soto (RHP), another Florida HS kid. Charlee was volunteering his time and helping out with the Rotary Club and the Miracle league. I believe the Miracle league is a league for kids with disabilities. Basically, just all around praise for how good a kid he is/was and how he is very much already involved in giving back to the community. Congratulations Charlee for your selection by the Twins with the 34th pick of the 2023 FYPD!

You have to know our own BJMB Connor to get the joke

Connor O'Halloran- Sounds like an Irish Pub where you can also order Muslim Virgins off the internet.

Congrats!!! Have you had your honeymoon yet??

If there was just two divisions, yes, I assume so. Models I have seen were based on expansion teams coming in and Toronto being geographically closer to Detroit, Cleveland etc, going to the central. I just don't see them going back to two divisions since the renewed interest by fans who's teams are still in a playoff race down the stretch.. You could expand the WC I guess, but having 3 division winners per league plus the WCs means a lot more fan bases can stay interested in their teams longer... Or they could just let anyone in the playoffs like the NHL, and go back to two divisions
