    Maybe you should listen to the press conference before spouting off nonsense. Accorsi is part of an NFL committee that manages/compiles the pool of candidates for GM and coaching jobs.

    I'm not hung up on the Philips situation and I do not think others should be. A quality GM/coach combo can easily win with this ownership/president set-up. Ted is effectively the business guy. Agreed. The fact that they're bringing in Accorsi to be the voice of football reason makes me feel better about the situation. I have no idea how qualified he is, but the fact that the last coach he hired has been in the job as long as he has tells me he has a decent idea of what he's doing.

    As much of a douche as Hub usually is, he's been spot on with his thoughts on the whole situation today as far as I'm concerned.

    Wasn't his hand size and concern about fumbling a factor as well? The old Dave Krieg syndrome.

    How do we get such a [expletive] schedule? There are only 2 games that aren't pre-determined regardless of record and we got TB and Washington in those.

    Yeah, Cutler is either spooked or lost. That 3rd down throw to Rosario was pathetic. Not even close to setting his feet and getting squared up to make a decent throw.

    How much of that has to do with shitty O-line play?
  9. mul21
    If they get rid of Cutty, they should go get Chase Daniel as a stop gap. I think he can be a legit NFL QB. He's smart, accurate, and seems to have a good awareness of what's going on around him.

    Can't figure out what dema might be. Maybe drama?
  11. mul21
    Agreed. I don't think you do anything rash with the roster until you've canned those guys and let the new crew come in and evaluate what they want to do with the pieces already in place.

    Maybe not injury, but I'm betting there's probably some significant correlation between minutes played and FG% on shots outside 15 ft late in the season and playoffs. So your theory is that there's an irreversible, cumulative reduction on FG% outside of 15ft over the course of a single season? What would be the significant threshold here? Not irreversible, but probably close with the type of player you're going to be looking at here since short of an injury they most likely wouldn't see a difference making reduction in minutes. As to what the threshold would be, I have no idea. I just know from having played a lot of basketball that when the legs go, so does the jumpshot. And it would probably be even more glaring of a drop if you looked at the difference in the second half of games during that same time frame. I may be way off. Maybe these guys are skilled enough to make a significant adjustment when they lose a little lift late in the season.

    Considering the Cardinals don't even have one of those that's healthy right now, good assumption.

    I understand the bar for offensive production at catcher is extremely low, but isn't Castillo essentially a platoon catcher? Career .684 vs RHP and poor defensively (at a time when extra value is being placed on defense/framing at the catcher position). Catchers OPSd 689 last year. Hitters OPSd 698 vs. RHP Can you do catchers vs. RHP?

Career .684 vs RHP and poor defensively (at a time when extra value is being placed on defense/framing at the catcher position). .684 isn't bad for a catcher overall, let alone just from one side of the plate when the other is much stronger. The position is unbelievably thin everywhere. And he's not bad defensively. He's fine at blocking pitches, calling a game, and even excels at throwing runners out, he's just thought to be terrible at framing pitches. I'm of the opinion that that has some value, but not nearly what's being placed on it currently.

    Thanks, caught that from the post above yours made 13 hours earlier. :-"

    I'd take the gamble. In 2011 to 2013 he put up wOBAs of .395,.374 and .363 respectively only to bottom out at .269 last year. It seems weird that in his prime he'd just plummet off a cliff like that. Speculation down here is that he was never healthy after the foot injury (I think that's what it was) at the end of 2013 and that completely torpedoed his season last year. No idea if there's any truth to that, but in that vein, he's not a guy you can expect more than about 100, maybe 120 games out of playing in the OF full time.

    Would be in the finals if I hadn't gotten dicked out of the playoffs by stupid tie breakers.
  20. mul21
    The other games they just got their asses kicked. They're making complete fools of themselves at this point.
  21. mul21
    So we've officially reached fun bad right?
  22. mul21
    Why wouldn't they boo? It was a terribly thrown ball behind the receiver.
  23. mul21
    Read he was still sitting 95+ last year. That's not all that accurate: http://www.fangraphs.com/fgraphs/5861_P_FA_20140927.png Basically, if Motte's velocity bounces back to pre-TJS levels, he's a decent bet to be a pretty good reliever. If it doesn't, need to hope that Bosio can make his cutter useful enough to keep hitters off balance. EDIT: 4.5 million? Cripes, why? Beat me to it. He was really ineffective last year with the velocity down. Maybe he's been throwing and it's back, but that much surprises me unless there's something about this we don't know yet.
  24. mul21
    I still think he holds more value to us keeping him than whatever he would bring back in a trade. Agreed. I think he's a good candidate to get traded at the deadline if they need to throw in a major league piece to get a deal done. With Bryant ready and Russell no far behind, he'll get very little PT assuming they both pan out.

    Apparently I'm getting the NBA package right now. No idea why. Also, the Heat announcers are really bad.
