2nd'd. Toronto is phenomenal. Plus if you don't want to fly, it is like a 8-9 hour drive from Chicago.

Is ERA the only thing you are looking at there in 1984? Because if not, you would note that literally every single supporting statistic has seen a big year over year increase in Dylan's favor. His FIP has dropped almost in half from 6.36 to 3.45! That FIP is actually a half of a run BELOW his current ERA. His WHIP is down 0.2, his K rate almost doubled, his walk rate has fallen by about 40%, and his HR/9 is down by half. The hype is REAL.

Well, except Carlos Rodon also never signed an extension, and also tested free agency when he got there, but only came back because he was injured and no one wanted to offer him a real deal.

Now you just need to remortgage your house to go!

Ending the season in San Diego. That could be fun.

You just made some new best friends.

Except he didn't have that kind of pull if he is only worth $1.5 to $1.7 billion.

Giolito vs Hernandez

Would be really interesting in his case to see what his exit velocities look like.

Is that a meteorite in the sky????

Its also worth noting is that the learning curve seems to be longer for the taller guys. Almost like to learn to control all of those levers and switches with precision, it just takes longer to get it all synced up right.

I'd put the Steinbrenners first, but he definitely got into the game at the PERFECT time.

Man am I ready to see him roaming CF.

Honestly, I don't think this is really true. Jerry was rich by 1980's standards when they bought the Chicago teams, but a very large percentage of his wealth is literally his ownership stake in these two teams. His net worth is estimated somewhere south of $2 billion as far as I can tell. Most sports owners today are worth A LOT more, as just the act of buying a team is costing a billion or two for most of the big 4 professional sports franchises. Guys buying teams now like Cohen and the Rickets are worth a lot more. Honestly, I would guess that Jerry is probably on the lowest end of pro franchise sports owners in terms of net wealth.

Come in, throw around a bunch of cliches and irrational anger, mix in a few internet words that the kids are using these days, and then meltdown.

There is telling on yourself, and then there is this post.
