This is such a bad way of looking at things though and you'll always be disappointed. Teams are run differently by different FOs. Atkins is not...

I don’t care about WAR. I care if a reliever can strike people out or not in high leverage. If most of your relievers habitually give up decent...

Nah they just haven't even bothered pouring resources into it. They took over an old team and tried to keep it going for another year but otherwise...

Fair but Yankees only overhauled their pitching system 3 years ago. Weird that Matt Blake (Yankees pitching coach right now) was under Shapiro in...

I mean exactly. The Yankees are able to do that every year. They acquire guys for next to nothing and after a few years of tinkering, he’s a stud at...

That's fair but King was a starter at the time of the trade with 4.11 ERA. When he was brought up to the majors, he had 7.76 ERA over 9 starts - sent...

I don’t know if I agree with this. Like, yea the Yankees gave quite a bit to get Holmes. The king trade though wasn’t a blockbuster at all. Most of...

Bring Brian Wilson out of retirement! Jays could use him!

The data is right there though. Just because we need something does not mean its available You stated 36 swing/miss relievers are with the top...

Will catch up to them in September. Could be the difference of having home field in the first round!

I’ll think back to the game in Chicago that Romano blew. And that homer from Judge earlier in the year.

I would really love to just know why. Like is this intentional? Do they think that swinging strikes are overrated? There’s something missing. I...

I doubt it as there is now 7 years of evidence that they suck at trading for it and suck at signing it as free agents.

Oh ok I see now. So we need to make better/more trades or free agent signings? Seems like one trade deadline can bring significant improvement then.

Kay so you wanna start a "fire Atkins" protest outside Rogers Centre? Let me know when, I'll come join.

Jays or any other team should have won. Hope this win that got away doesn't come to bite in September.

There are 5 players out of 45 who were signed originally by that team. The vast majority sign as free agents or via trades.

Wat

The top 5 teams in swinging strike rate have 9 pitchers or so each in their bullpen right now for a total of 45. There are 5 players total who were...

It was truly the worst managed game I have seen all year for Boston. Several real head scratchers.

Damn that was close. George hits a single there we win. Cora is a moron for using Strahm and leaving him in that long. Really should have won it...

Did he consult with Dubas before that trade? Turrible..

Ya, Chapman+ for Jose Ramirez also isn't a bad idea... but foolish to suggest it.

Tellez with another 2 HR today. I'm so glad Ross fleeced the Brewers getting Richards for Rowdy.

Thats not a bad idea...but never happening

Biggio up to a 118 wRC+. That is so fucking encouraging.

No chance

Nope. It was at the cut off man by the time he reached 3B.

FUCK So many ways they could have saved/won that game Fuck
