Lock him in early at a lower rate for cost certainty.

Exhibit A: Jose Bautista
Exhibit B: Edwin Encarnacion
Exhibit C: Dave Stieb

Counter example: Vernon Wells!
Other counter examples: Ricky Romero, Eric Hinske

Choose whichever conspiracy you want:

1. The ball is juiced, and thats whats causing increase in HR's and blisters on pitchers.
2. MLB baseball has stopped (legitimately) testing players for roids, and thats whats causing increase in HR's.
3. There is no juiced ball (nor players). You're all a bunch of crazy mofo's!!

Nice!!! :thumb:

I didnt even think of all that (assuming Osuna will go for it).
He might not though, since he already knows he's THE premier closer in the game right now at age 22

I'm not really sure I understand the examples as those guys were all going into their FA years when they were re-signed.

Nice show from Stroman today. Nice to have a big lead for a change going into the late innings. Chance tomorrow to take 3 of 4 from the best team in MLB.

What happened to the Dutch gnocchi (feck)?

I'm giving Sancho a pass for his return. His vicious breaking ball was not being called for strikes, he got flustered. If he stays healthy he's only going to get better.

Unlike Sancho Panza, the Jays hitters didn't bray like asses today - good win. Mongo like feck!

What the feck are you talking about?

Perry
He's referring to my deleted post.
I thought Stroman's blister was acting up again, but it was a false alarm.

Excellent outing by Stro. Keeping best team in baseball to 1 run is not easy!!

Happ going tomorrow and he has his game back so we might win

This is unfortunate as management may become buyers

We need to clean house and build for future

Trade all this years free agents and next years and vets as well

We have some good horses to trade so this is the year to trade for the future

Agree, even if we win Sunday, taking 3 of 4 from Astros, we are still well under .500 and there are too many holes in this team to make a serious run at the playoffs.
Better to retool quickly and go for it in 2018.

in 2018 we assess the needs and then grab some fee agents to be competitive for 2019

4 games back now. If they can win today and squeeze into 3 games off WC spot they still have a chance.
But I gotta be honest, I dont see them making the playoffs this year :(

Will you stop with this X# of games back crap!?!? They need to string a bunch of wins together if they are going to get there. So far that has not happened! If they win today awesome, if they don't same shit different day! Ever so often they look like the team the fans expected them to be, yesterday was one of those days. Unfortunately those days have been uncommon this year and unless we see some consistency soon, this season is TOAST!
