You have to be realistic. If you get too hyped up again on this winning streak you will crash back to reality when the streak ends. And then reality will set in that indeed they have to go on a pace of a least .600 baseball the rest of this year. Very very hard to do

Make no mistake, I still don't want him around past this year. With the team playing well no one's being as vocal but I'd say most people would still want him fired regardless if they're vocalizing it right now.

 

I wouldn't say that at all. Not saying they are right... But if the team plays well and makes the playoffs, no one wants AA fired.... Except a small minority of spreadsheet warriors... who behind a computer screen are absolutely positive they can build the St. Louis Cardinals.... Like it's just that easy.

The most positive thing is that it ups the value of the players so that AA can be a seller at the deadline and get some real value in return

I think most people are... I'll be happy if they can make it interesting... especially with the start.

There are countless examples of teams making the playoffs when they were .500 at the all-star break. If this team gets to .500 by the break then they have a shot.

Very very hard for a team of lesser talent to do

 

With the talent on the Jays firing on all cylinders as they are starting to, its not so difficult

I think you can do both. As crazy at it sounds, you might be able to get something for Janssen, that can help them more then it hurts.

just because they played under their potential for more than a month doesn't mean they will play above it later. it's really hard to make up so many games. it would be cool, but I wouldn't bank on it.

The reason being to get to the playoffs now not only do you have to play well the teams above you must play poorly. Odds of both occurring are slim

Good example would be Rick Porcello.

especially when 2 of the 4 teams you are trying to pass are playing each other most nights so someone is always winning to stay ahead.

Some people on this forum I am sure want the jays to lose... god forbid we enjoy this recent streak and the fact that yes they are not much closer to being relevant in the WC race. Lots of games left and morrow and reyes are back soon. Negative nancies.

Of course there are. Tonnes of people want to brag about how much they hate AA and how much they hated the trades... blah, blah, blah.... So they want the team to lose.

I love them winning, just wish they had started with this kind of fire in April and waiting until you are 10 games back before you give a s*** is kind of unprofessional.

Or Nick Castellanos.

 

I think Porcello would make more of an immediate impact.

 

If he can keep his K/9 over 7, that is. :rolleyes:

Jays I believe are not as bad as they played in the first part of the year and not as good as they are playing during this winning streak. They are somewhere in the middle probably about a .500 ball club which is where I predict they will finish.

Very slim odds we make the playoffs. They'll play good enough to make us get excited again, then disappoint us as we just miss the playoffs.
