  1. and Vlad 100% belongs; WAR undersells him in a pretty big way, and his career is basically the Andre Dawson upgrade
  2. this is me but i spurned Edgar [-X
  3. not at all? he was suspended for a year because of the incident, it was already known he broke the girl's face
  4. you skate in a crouch and trying to fit through small space at the boards like that stood straight up it'd look that way all the same maybe intent was there, but seems he's sort of caught in-between without really anywhere to go and Henrik's sloppy as hell with how he played it
  5. i don't blame Eakin too much there, it looks worse in real time than replays; you see him trying to squeak by sideways but there's no lane goalies shouldn't be dawdling with the puck for 6+ seconds like that expecting the forecheck to idly wait for the breakout, make them live and you get rid of this somewhat, as well as Mike Smith types trolling for majors replay @ 23s exonerates him somewhat imo
  6. he throws quite the floaterpoor mans Chad Pennington? Scuffy McGee
  7. teams 22/30 combined *on threes* in first half of UM-UCLA...
  8. Some combination of him and Andy Reid are pretty underrated, I think. Since Reid came to KC only the Patriots, Broncos, and Seahawks have more wins. 20-3 run they're currently on, pretty unbelievable
  9. can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs, any good cook will tell you that
  10. don't terribly mind this, but it's more that i can conceive other reasonable packages i'd be more excited by than just a single year of Davis, for Jorge
  11. Got it. Well this scenario of not having Javy isn't that big of a deal to me over whoever the back up SS would be because Javy would be mostly a glove only backup, IMO, if he has to expand to a starting role for a ~month with not having the luxury of being protected vs RHP and facing favorable pitching matchups. You mean a month like October where he played like a cheat code for three weeks? (world series not included)
  12. i'm of course skeptical he'll just carry through +15 fielding / .340 babip / 24% K going forward people probably don't fully appreciate his platoon limitations either
  13. what if i told you this is Javy's ceiling
  14. i fantasize Moncada as Joe Morgan so i like Southsiders' end of the deal better here
  15. http://blogs-images.forbes.com/markgreene/files/2015/07/dominos-falling.jpg?width=640&height=434
  16. Is Alex Smith Elite?
  17. seems like a worthwhile endeavor with better predictive value than cruder, better understood methods, but with how it factors framing, umpires, i partially wonder if theres's the element more of "what an era might look like if everyone was forced to throw pitches in the heart of the strike zone", which then seems to rate stuff and not pitching effectiveness or value all told, it's amazing to consider how a stat could make a full 3.3 runs allowed/9(!) correction on Kyle Hendricks vs. Robbie Ray specifically; maybe exit velo gets incorporated in alternate corrective iterations
  18. a week of bad 2nd halves from Michigan sports i guess
  19. i beg to differ
  20. league-best PP surely played a big role...i think Werenski is Calder front-runner at the moment
  21. funny too, because whoever makes it in there (B1G champ / Colorado) will be somebody we beat cleanly
  22. career .311/.382/.411 w/men on base, .272/.331/.366 w/bases empty - clutch!
  23. Real American Hero
  24. if i rewatched all-22 film of this game i'd probably die of rage
