    And Rogers has many multiples of the Ricketts money which oils the wheels of willingness.

    Blue Jays owners, Rogers Communications, are the 2nd wealthiest owners in MLB. (Behind Cohen)

    I almost feel we are the point where teams are actively searching for pitchers who won't be ready until mid-season ensuring rested arms for the back half. The Jays benefitted greatly from Bieber, Scherzer and Yesavage (to a lesser extent) That trio started 12 of 18 post season games; as opposed to 27 of 162 in the regular season.

    Not gonna lie - at first glance of the title I thought it was Kris Bryant of the Rockies. Sigh.

    Yeah I hold on to Triantos unless there's a MAJOR crunch. He's only 22 - I'd give him another season for his skills to gel. I think his hit tool is real.

    HAHAHAHA.

    If you look at Suzuki's season his BB% and SO% are basically the same as previous seasons. Taking into account that he played more games in '25 he essentially traded 25ish singles for 10ish HRs. I feel that's not a horrible trade off. I think he's a B PCA I feel has to be an A. Before the season you're not even sure if he's going to hit enough to stay in the line-up. IF the path to his end result were smoother I think you feel better about his season. Pre-season, if you were able to offer locking in PCA for 14 hrs I think 90% of the board takes that. So while you may have some legitimate concerns going forward - looking back at what he achieved last year has to be an A - I think.

    "His wRC+ was only 86, which is 14 percent below a league-average hitter" - I feel like that's pretty solid for a back-up catcher.

    Changing the pitcher here would be a small victory.

    I recall hearing that you want about a 10mph difference in pitches. Lob balls from the back-up INF in a blowout notwithstanding, if the pitch is too slow the batter can tell the difference and adjust. To the ridiculous extreme lobbing the ball underhanded would give the greatest disparity in MPH but obviously no-ones ever going to do that.

    I'm fully expecting Darvish to give up 5 in the 2nd, and then, as he is walking off , he'll rip off his Padres jersey to reveal a "FO23VR" t-shirt. Then laugh maniacally as he shouts "I've been a Cub this entire time!" The long con is the best con!

    Vedder is a lead singer in a Hall of Fame band...right?
  13. chopsx9
    Was the 2 home then 3 in San Diego the normal configuration back then?

    Bader.

    I wonder if that bad call on the 1st pitch to Seyia was a blessing in disguise, Not sure if he swings at the similar location otherwise,
  16. chopsx9
    That's so typical, Suzuki takes a 1st pitch that's actually out of the strike zone and it gets called a strike.
  17. chopsx9
    Nico winning a batting title would be okay.
  18. chopsx9
    Whew...
  19. chopsx9
    Yeah, I didn't think there was going to be a play.
  20. chopsx9
    Sigh.
  21. chopsx9
    So did Hank Sauer
  22. chopsx9
