    Anyone really perform well in the last month or so? I have barely been able to watch jays games never mind follow the farm.

    Man, romano coming back out and shutting it down. Got to love that.

    I didn’t have a massive problem with last Lourdes at bat. That’s a hard ball to take. The vlad at bat just sucked considering his talent and he does that a ton.
  4. Dagagad
    It’s been a problem for a while. He might not have as good an eye as we think?
  5. Dagagad
    I basically never have time to watch any more but every time I turn it on, it’s vlad swinging at the pitch the pitcher wants him to swing at early in counts. Please stop vlad.
  6. Dagagad
    Whatever. A series win is a great result.
  7. Dagagad
    We have really good hitters with good approaches usually but they could be better. In other words, eye test wise it looks like guys are under performing their talent when it comes to plate discipline. Especially vlad.
  8. Dagagad
    Yea, two just below average pitchers in the rotation is like 4 more wins. That’s before the bullpen.
  9. Dagagad
    Ah, he’s trolling. Never mind.
  10. Dagagad
    They could have this exact offense with better pitching and be more than 11 games over 500.

    Eno Sarris on his podcast said that basically the only measurable thing hitting coaches have been shown to improve is plate discipline. I could see an argument for getting someone who has proven success at that. But then again, maybe Martinez has done a good job at that overall. I haven’t went through the numbers year to year. Gurriel for example seems to have a better approach this year.

    6th in WRC+ and higher in some other categories. I don’t know what qualifies as great but near to top 5 is probably close to great. I’d agree that if 3/4 guys improved their plate discipline, then it could be a number one offense. I’m not sure what the problem is with vlad. He’s demonstrated a good eye before. So, he knows he’s swinging at balls. Not sure what the hitting coach can do if vlad just wants to swing at balls.
  13. Dagagad
    I just turned on to see vlad not take three balls in a row with bases loaded. Jesus Christ. We have a really good offense with so many just thrown away plate appearances. It’s weird. Might be a jinx… I’ll check score later.

    I have barely been able to get on line or have time to watch tv in 4 days and we are 4-0. I’ll keep the streak going for science until we lose.

    If we missed the playoffs and that was it for atkins, it might not be the worst thing in the world.

    Really smart and competent isn’t near the cutting edge though and we are in a really tough division. At the end of the days Cleveland’s MO was being absolutely elite at developing pitching and there is very little evidence that we are anywhere near them in that regard. We aren’t bad,,, we might be getting better… but we definitely didn’t get the best and brightest in that deal. I was 100% into this move at the time. I thought it made a ton of sense to be ‘Cleveland with money’. That’s a sustainable winning formula. The dodgers basically (and simplistically) became the rays with money and we all see how successful that turned out to be. However, enough time has passed to say we are a LONG way from that goal. The good thing about baseball is you can still win a World Series like that. But it’s basically impossible to be a sustainable winner like that.

    The condescension of ripping AA and then being here for 7 years and not being able to develop pitching to the level where we have a good bullpen is galling. He is pretend smart. Says the right things, talks about baseball in a really clinical smart sounding way,.. but yea… maybe smart in 2010. AA spent a few years in the dodgers system and is polished into a pretty good GM. And we got the guys from Cleveland who can’t do pitching. It’s like we hired some guys from Apple but they were the ones who designed the logo not the iPhone.
  18. Dagagad
    Yea, getting cost certainty on Randal grichuk told me everything I needed to know on that.
  19. Dagagad
    Hiring the astros guys was smart.
  20. Dagagad
    It factor is nonsense. We could easily stumble into the playoffs and then win the whole thing. Baseball is weird.
  21. Dagagad
    I wish this tatis news had dropped pre trade deadline. I’d love us to try to lowball trade for him lol.
  22. Dagagad
    This is true but you need enough of them so that inevitably some of them are always healthy. Then you get to use the IL like an option as well for 40man management. I agree that these are the kinds of pitchers that we need but it wasn’t a reasonable expectation that 2 were enough to even expect one to be fit most of the year. It’s not always cast offs either. They trade real prospects for guys with pretty high injury risk if the stuff is good enough.
  23. Dagagad
    Merriweather was elite for like a month before and is constantly injured. Pearson has never even really pitched that much at the major league level. I’d say that was an unreasonable expectation. We just aren’t very good at the pitching thing compared to the elite teams and we also don’t want to spend money on it in the pen(which actually is probably smart). This is the result. They assembled a pen that projects to be average and got a bit unlucky. That could be a winning strategy though. It’s not unheard of. Maybe Pearson gets healthy for the playoffs and Zulueta comes up and throws fire.
  24. Dagagad
    I think they’d want younger guys.
  25. Dagagad
    What team has excess pitching and needs veteran corner outfielders though? It’s a hard match.
