Blackout Friday

For what it's worth I asked my Blue Jays source that said he's never seen him hit 90.

But yea margulas is basically ss2k15 born 15 years later imo. He can critique but mostly it's just pro org bulletin points and the comments section, led by pnoles, is mostly an echo chamber. At least here there is less groupthink. Margalus is pretty clever in his critiques of the Sox organization.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Aug 27, 2016 -> 01:07 AM) I don't think anyone is expecting him to be much of anything. Everyone's pretty much shocked we got anything more that mere cash for him. But The White Sox website says he throws 95!

Anyways, going to bed now. With my wife. You had one once, but scouted her wrong, correct? Night, night.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Aug 26, 2016 -> 10:37 PM) Please don't go, we desperately need you. The redemption of meatballs is on the line. You really need to grow up. If this site means so much to you, stop being so pathetic.

Congrats though. Cool avatar!

I actually know scouts in the Jays system. I worked there for 9 years. They never saw him throw over 90. And besides the fact of all that, the people that behave as though they know it all know the least. I am done with this as I am with this site for a while. Reminds me why I left. Meatball fans with uninformed opinions. Have a good weekend.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Aug 26, 2016 -> 09:45 PM) Cool! Have a good night! 94-95 where?

Ban me if you want, but this one-upping culture taking place I this site is disgraceful I will go back to SSS. It isn't perfect, but better than this nonsense.

Where is this 94-95 you speak of anyways? I'm laughing because I have a World Series ring to my credit as a scout But you have more posts. So you're the smart one

QUOTE (hi8is @ Aug 26, 2016 -> 10:30 PM) Whenever you're offended in life it isn't a problem? You're a better man than I, then. I'll leave you to not giving a poop. As clearly, you know very well that I do. This place is something I take very very serious. Jesus Christ man. You're a f***ing loser.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Aug 26, 2016 -> 08:26 PM) Tone on the Internet is pretty difficult to understand. Your disdane is likely projection in this case. Sorry you were offended but it's really your problem. Cheers. Tone can be difficult for sarcasm and such. Not statements devoid of opinion. And it isn't a problem. It's a message board. Who gives a s***. .

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 26, 2016 -> 07:56 PM) That article is from 2013, I bet it was right before he had his TJS Could be, but velocity doesn't tend to variate 10mph. I was just posting what I read. This nonsense reminds me why I post so seldom.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Aug 26, 2016 -> 07:30 PM) 94-95 on the fastball. Try again. I said from the one scouting report I read, which is this one: http://www.bluejaysfromaway.com/lansing-le...outing-reports/ Don't really see why the attitude is necessary. If you've seen something different, post it. We're all going on speculation. That "try again" stuff is just childish.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Aug 26, 2016 -> 08:18 PM) He's 25 and just out of A ball. Whiffed again... I believe he had TJ surgery for what it's worth. Drafted out of college his development would be behind logically. But who knows. The bar is as low as it gets in this case.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 26, 2016 -> 06:59 PM) Melky has the flu. Heck of a disciplined performance so far. Two pick offs and a blown bunt assignment. I was hoping a trade was in the works.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Aug 26, 2016 -> 06:44 PM) Well, he probably does have deception because Steve Stone just said he has a lot of strikeouts on his record. According to the whitesox.com article (http://m.whitesox.mlb.com/news/article/197828950/white-sox-acquire-left-hander-colton-turner/)... This year Turner has a 1.33 ERA over 54 innings with 70 strikeouts (averaging over 11 strikeouts per 9 innings) between class-a and AA for Toronto. He is 12-9 with a 2.76 ERA and 200 strikeouts in 107 games (16 starts) in the Blue Jays' system. He also had a 5.23 ERA over 9 appearances in AAA. Those seem like pretty solid numbers to me other than the AAA stint which might be of concern... I know the k/9 was high in a-ball, but he's also 25. It's hard to know for sure. And I think he's only made it to AA so far, which is where the struggles were.

From the only scouting report I read he throws his fastball around 85mph, unless he has crazy deception or something I wouldn't expect much. He's also Rule 5 eligible. But the fact we got anything for him is a small victory.

I think Shields said something to after that last pitch.

I didn't get very far into this post. I stopped at Nate Jones being a one-pitch pitcher. Nate Jones has an elite slider, when it's on. Elite.

My old man called and asked who was winning. My answer was "who gives a s***" He tore into me pretty good, but I also can't remember a point in my life where I cared less. This organization is a punchline.

Robin is George costanza

Come on, guys and girls. There is a lot to get mad about. But this isn't it. "We gave up something to get something!!" Frazier has been great. What more do you want?
