    THIEF i saw the date on there, and got super confused until noticing the year, like i somehow forgot a comment i made this morning

    stupid sexy Flande

    it's like the Nomar trade because his lasting legacy in TOR will assuredly be writhing on the ground clutching at his leg

    i'm fine with that idea, i've got most points in the East yet my season's effectively over...but i mean legitimately so, not like the usual GR lamentations after every loss

    this is WSR-levels bad

    mmmm, Barraclough...

    finding it in bb-ref's game finder... other recent pitchers to duplicate that achievement: Strasburg - 7 IP / 0 BB / 14 K Tanaka - 7 / 0 / 8 Grimm! - 6 / 0 / 7 Ty Matzek - 7 / 0 / 7 Matt Boyd - 6-2/3 / 0 / 7 and some old guys i've never heard of but Godley might actually be only P to do that while giving up no runs Mike Wright this year did 7-1/3 / 0 / 6 and Jeff Pico in '88 - 9 / 0 / 6 both were shutout outings but failed to reach 7 K threshold EDIT: [expletive] i now see it saying 'scoreless', yeah, checks out

    Johnny Cueto "He was also the first MLB pitcher to have 10 strikeouts and 0 walks in his debut" http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CIN/CIN200804030.shtml that's just going OTTOMH, i sincerely doubt Godley's feat is highly irregular

    thats what the David Ross is for!
  12. sneakypower
    well, yeah, they're winning almost 2/3 of their games

    the Tigers have 1.5 MLB-caliber starters in their entire organization right now i still suspect Ilitch overrides FO's better judgment because frankly, he's 86 and ill
  14. sneakypower
    didn't kyle say it was a mistake because they 'paid a pitcher before they had to'? eh, even if he didn't, i'll try to remember it that way as yet another amusing bit of lunacy

    Nottingham seems like a Jesus Montero-type prospect (which is actually meant to be flattering in this case) with less bonus-hype it's at this point we remember he was actually traded for Michael Pineda...
  16. sneakypower
    this would serve as a fairly suitable signature
  17. sneakypower
    that's actually a really good idea, let's go get a couple young #1/#2 starters

    LaStella ZiPS: .311 wOBA, 94 wRC+ Herrera ZiPS: .265 wOBA, 63 wRC+ nope no can do

    He can play LF, where at the moment we do not have a long term option. Sure Bryant or Schwarber could end up there, but right now they aren't, and as such MCKinney profiles as our future LF'er until Bryant and Schwarber prove they are disasters at their current positions i think it can reasonably inferred McKinney very much has a long-term role on the team the FO doesn't really appear to have a lot of love for players with poor approaches; we've seen repeated rumors of Castro, Baez being dangled in trade discussions, while Castillo and Alcantara have already been exiled, whereas they're actively acquiring anybody that makes opposing pitchers work: Montero, Fowler, LaStella (delayed promotions for Edwards is also another indicator of this attitude) if the "90% of the game is controlling the strike zone" refrain Theo's championed is reflective of their true beliefs, McKinney is nearly untouchable (given his presumably underwhelming trade value to other orgs)

    oh, well, when you put it like that...

    why, that must only mean Jamaica's on an upward trajectory!
  23. sneakypower
    flashing the bukie signal...
  24. sneakypower
    oh hey would you look at that the gold cup semis are on at the same time what a shame i'll have to skip this one
  25. sneakypower
    did Chris Shelton sport a .333/.429/.613 career MiLB line and make his debut barely a year after being drafted and/or play C?
