    And then the White Sox also walk in the winning run. A day that shall live in bullpen infamy.

    It's hard to have a more embarrassing loss than the Jays had against the Rays today. Ahead 4-3 with 2 on and 2 out in the 9th, Jays relievers incredibly walked 4 in a row for a 6-4 loss.

    Just reading about that home run by Williams. Because the seat is about 30 feet above field level, it has been determined that the true distance was 530 feet. Also, the baseballs being used can make a big difference.

    Cole has no rings. Cole did not beat the Rays in Game 5 last year. Sale was only a minor factor in the 2018 postseason. All these rules are made to be broken.

    Cherington picked Farrell. Dombrowski picked Cora. Bloom picked Roenicke and Cora. These decisions are within their province. It's very simple. Henry can fire the head of ops whenever he wants, we all know that.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Yes, Booby V was the exception. The kind that surely persuaded ownership to stay out of managerial picks henceforth.
  7. Bellhorn04
    It probably looks worse on TV than in person.
  8. Bellhorn04
    LOL many fans only pay attention to the guys who are actually playing in the bigs right now.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Absolute nonsense. It's common practice to let the head of ops choose the manager. Cherington wanted Farrell. Dombrowski wanted Cora.
  10. Bellhorn04
    In this offseason's managerial search, there were stories that ownership was highly in favor of bringing Cora back. Then Sam Kennedy made an explicit statement that the call was going to be Bloom's. And from all reports Bloom had a number of intense conversations with Cora before deciding to hire him. Bloom is getting to make plenty of calls, I believe. The direction from Henry is mostly budget parameters, I believe. And of course Henry knows what's going on. There's a big difference between that and making the calls.
  11. Bellhorn04
    What Elktonnick seems to be suggesting is that Henry and Werner are in the mood to make a splash, especially after the soccer fiasco. But they didn't hire Bloom to make expensive splashes, certainly not this year anyway.
  12. Bellhorn04
    This all started with the question of who makes the call on whether we're buyers or sellers at the deadline. Generally that is dictated by the circumstances at the time. Also generally, it doesn't involve big outlays of cash because what you're buying is tail ends of contracts, and what you're paying with is prospects. I believe Henry would leave most of this in Bloom's hands, yes.
  13. Bellhorn04
    The Jays starting pitching is a big question mark for sure.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Other pitchers have gotten more and done worse, too, of course, so that statement doesn't mean a whole lot. FanGraphs says he has earned $19 million on this deal so far. His AAV to date is about $29 million ($17 + $7 + $5). So he's in the mild bust zone with 1.7 years left to go.

    Thanks Dave!
  16. Bellhorn04
    I'm with you. Eovaldi fanboy here.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Bloom is living up to his Rays pedigree as a finder of pitching.
  18. Bellhorn04
    That's free agency. Can you spend the $20M better is the question.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Eovaldi is under contract through 2022.
  20. Bellhorn04
    They still are a team to watch. It's a 4 team race. The Yankees and Rays are both on a roll right now.
  21. Bellhorn04
    All the advanced stats say Eovaldi is pitching considerably better than his ERA. As moon posted elsewhere, he has given up an OPS of .647. He hasn't given up a single long ball. We'll see if his luck turns around.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Was trading Nomar a "major move"? Because all the reports indicate that was Theo's call. If you're talking about big free agent contracts, then of course ownership has to approve those.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Yes I knew that. I'm asking what you mean about Henry's MO since 2003 on deadline decisions. The first big deadline decision under Henry was in 2004 when we traded Nomar, and as far as I know that was Theo's call all the way. When has Henry not left those calls to his head of baseball ops?
  24. Bellhorn04
    What exactly are you talking about?
  25. Bellhorn04
    Cordero I would think.
