September 14, 20169 yr Author hi Davidi @ShiDavidi 37m37 minutes ago #BlueJays on verge of hiring former #RedSox GM Ben Cherington as VP of baseball ops, per sources:
September 14, 20169 yr Rosenthanl just reported that Cherington would be reporting to current Jays GM Atkins. bwahh?
September 18, 20169 yr Jon Gray with a complete game shutout with no walks and 16 strikeouts at Coors. That's crazy.
September 19, 20169 yr Addison Reed is really good now: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/addison-ree...ew-miller-lite/ 2.5 fWAR this year with a ERA under 2. He made a similar mechanical adjustment to Andrew Miller and is now one of the top relievers in the league this year.

September 19, 20169 yr It is ironic that Reed pitching well in Albers' spot was exactly what the Sox needed...meanwhile, we had to trade three more minor leaguers to cover 3b. Devenski would have done the job as well. That's the cost of all in every year.

Devenski would have done the job as well. That's the cost of all in every year. I think Reed's success is mostly dependent on a mechanical change he made after he got traded to the Mets. He really wasn't very good until after the trade. No guarantee he is what he is today if he stays with the Sox.
September 20, 20169 yr Kershaw once again leads the MLB in WAR among pitchers despite only pitching 135 innings. He has a 1.73 ERA yet is actually underperforming his peripherals. He should be a serious Cy Young contender.
September 21, 20169 yr If the Giants win tonight, looking like 3-way tie for two spots with 11 left: Giants- 1 at LA, 4 at SD, 3 vs Col, 3 vs LA Mets- 1 vs Atl, 4 vs Phi, 3 at Mia, 3 at Phi Cardinals- 1 at Col, 3 at Chi, 4 vs Cin, 3 vs Pit
September 22, 20169 yr Brian Dozier's splits are absolutely insane this year. He's hit 36 home runs since the start of June with a .676 slugging and .361 ISO. In April and May, he hit 5 homers with a .329 slugging percentage. Dozier's always had good power, but this kind of power surge is almost unheard of.

Ever hear of Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire...oh wait

September 22, 20169 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 22, 2016 -> 02:45 PM) Unheard of? Ever hear of Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire...oh wait He basically flipped a switch in the middle of the season. Those guys didn't do that, their transformation at least happened over an off-season. Dozier corrected something in his approach and became the most prolific power hitter in the AL somehow.

September 23, 20169 yr If anybody is looking for a catcher, Steve Clevenger is soon to be available and he could probably be had on the very very cheap.

September 25, 20169 yr Multiple Twitter accounts this morning reporting that Jose Fernandez was killed in a boating accident. This is awful news, the league was better when he was pitching.

September 25, 20169 yr This is devastating, one of the most talented and fun players in the game. Such a shame.
