Who do they call up to replace him? The rotation depth is horrible. Hey I'm fine giving Chris Rowley a shot but I don't expect him to do much better.
"Analytics and all that other nonsense"
You tell 'em, Buck.
If only Pat "I'm an analytics guy" Tabler was there to refute Buck.
I want to hear more from Gregg "Seamhead" Zaun and the evolution of the cutting edge of statistical analysis: ZARP.

So today I found out that Billy Hamilton is the greatest offensive player this generation, Shapiro better offer up Vlad + Bichette for him quickly before the Reds GM learns about this highly sophisticated stat and realize just how valuable of a player Billy Hamilton actually is.
Fisher Cats fan here (and I like the Jays).
It's like one step forward, two steps back.
It really felt like the end of the window when they didn't cash in last year.
Not sure where they go from here.
Shapiro/Atkins are terrible.
I said fire Shaprio the minute we brought this guy in.
He failed to go all in last year when we had the chance, and he will likely fail to blow it up this year.
This paralysis in the middle of "what should we do" is what kills baseball teams. Either blow it up completely and get great prospects or pay the price for the chance to win a baseball season.
I'd be totally happy with a losing record this season if we actually went for it last year. He failed to capitalize on the great work of AA.
Time to blow it up.
