Swarzack ain't helping. Single and triple and now it's 4-3 Jays

Rooting for a loss but 1 run vs 3 runs looks a lot better for Shields value

I'm really surprised a good guy like you, a very very smart guy like you is into the rooting for losses thing. Saddens me. You are a brilliant guy and I'm surprised you haven't assessed, like me, the fact the draft is a fricking crapshoot and anything can happen in the draft and tanking is a very very cliche-ish, bad idea. I think if you study the issue completely the logical conclusion on the tanking issue is the one I hold.

It's the smart thing to do. If the best GM in baseball history thinks tanking is smart, then I'm confident I'm not wrong

True, but that was a bizarre indoor baseball type triple. Indoor baseball reeks.

Yes sir, but the best manager in baseball thought batting the pitcher eighth was a good idea (LaRussa).

I don't suspect it's going to matter much...his numbers are better, but I don't know that he's going to fool any opposing GMs that badly.

Bummer. I wish Timmy could have faced Happ. The odds of us scoring here just went down.

I think people are dreaming when they envision these pitchers who have no value on the trade market having value. Shields, Pelphrey Holland, Miguel (even before he got hurt) have no value, folks. They are the kind of guys you DFA at some point when they pull a Humber.

Timmy sporting some glasses?

Good god, move Anderson closer to the plate. Puts weak swings on anything on the outer half

I thought there was a chance Holland might have some value, given his handedness, but those two bad starts in a row may have ended that chance.

I can't believe people aren't in favor of him going down to the minors to learn more about the art of hitting. I'm surprised the statniks are accepting his OBP and not burying him. It's like it's just assumed TA is a star and whatever will be will be.

Yeah, I thought given the location of that pitch, he should have given that thing a ride.

Give it a rest dude... we all know your stance, no need to continually bring about your opposition to this school of thought... even if it is done in a delightfully tasteful complementary way.

Cheap homer off Jennings

How in the world could Chicago win 2 of 3 this series against this team ... on the road? it's miraculous.

lol my god that thing was destroyed

I probably need professional help. Whenever I see the post desiring a loss I just want people to re-examine their thought process on the matter. It also angers me probably more than it should anger any human, considering all the more important issues in the world to get upset about.

I wish Timmy could hit.

The relief Corp not helping today. Trade everyone

I probably need professional help.

We're all in that boat - may we accept it or not :lol

Good pitching efforts can keep the Jays under control

Something tells me this doesn't exist in the minors.

I can see your point. The only thing that hasn't changed much is the people running the farm system.
