Because we totally know that David price reads he boards for his baseball talk fix.

In fact, it's confession time. I'm David Price. I have been all along. :sarcasm:

I'm liking the win now attitude but I hope Price re-signs cause that's a heck of a price to pay for a rental.

This is probably a crazy idea, but any thought to running a 4 man rotation?

Price
Buehrle
Dickey
Hutchison

Put Estrada in the Pen?
I would rather use and abuse Price every 4th day while giving everyone else regular test.

Since he'd going to likely end up on the Dodgers. Who cares about taxing him :P

If Stroman comes back he ain't coming here to pitch an inning or two every couple of games. He has the advantage of having pretty much the freshest arm of any top-end pitcher in the league. If he here, they are going to work him hard.

Or, on the flip side, he has all the drawbacks of a guy that hasn't pitched meaningful and lengthy baseball outings since last September and won't be fully stretched out and ready as soon as he comes back. Relief innings are a better way to manage his workload.

This is the most ridiculous thing ever. He's not going to be offended by something as small as this.

If his sarcasm detector is broken we don't want him anyway.

Is yours functioning properly?

That's not necessarily a good thing. It takes a long time to build up 7-9 inning endurance.

It would be interesting to see if they used him in relief.

Definitely some bad luck, but for the most part (until today at least) they are a team built around power hitting and poor pitching.

The bats can go cold fast. Score 7+ for a week and then go a couple games scoring 1-2 runs. Baseball is still a game of failures, even for the best hitters.

Earlier in the season they had the largest standard deviation in runs per game and they probably still do. Score 12 one day and get shut out the next. Power hitting is streaky that way.

Ummm... absolute/gross standard deviation highly correlates with runs per game in this case. Basically, the streakier, the better.

I have arrived to my hat eating sentencing. I really didn't think we'd do anything at the deadline.

Respect to you for this, my man. Most of the AA bashers are out buying their Price jersey right now and mentally preparing posts about how proud they are to be Jays fans.

Yeah, good on him for actually owning up to it.

Actually, I haven't seen a few of our buddies since the Tulo trade went down.
