Why am I not surprised that this garbage-ass team is starting to win again leading up to the trade deadline?

 

Shapiro on pts made it sound like he has no intention of selling anyway (selling the good players, at least). Team will win about 80 games this year and then try again next year. The Rogers way.

Ya, it's awful when the team you root for wins games. I'd hate to see them win 7 or 8 in a row and get back into it.

Yeah can't take anything he says at face value but I don't expect Rogers to rebuild. Way too much money to be made selling hope in 2018.

Hasn't Shatkins been rebuilding since they got here?

Not by the traditional use of the term, no.

 

The Jays aren't the Astros, Rays or Brewers. I'd like to believe teams with money can rebuild while remaining competitive.

Wel ideally yes but this is the second consecutive season we don't have impact prospects just sitting in AAA or AA waiting for an opurtunity. Some of those pitchers in AA may come up. But they have been so inconsistent. Plus our roster is so old. We are forced to wait for the next wave of prospects to roll in from the low minors.

 

You trade veteran players to add to a talented prospects pool and you can hope they can develop and come up together. And hopefully some of those prospects you acquire are closer to the big leagues ready to contribute.

 

Rebuilding on the fly only works if you have a great farm system stocked up at every level. So you can pipe in players constantly. If someone gets hurt for us we are forced to use an organizational type or a castaway veteran.

 

A team like the Yankees have been able to plug in young players with tremendous upside. If it wasn't for injuries they could have even more young talent on that roster.

Umm so many stupid things:

- Osuna didn't underhand it and lob it, what kind of narrative is this guy trying to push and make up?

- who cares if he lobbed it? Pitchers do it all the time to save their arm

-Osuna was not waiting Correa out, he was waiting for Smoak on the shift

 

Correa, you're a talent, but dumb.

FFS he was sauntering down the baseline

 

And Osuna had to wait for Smoak

 

How long after the game did Correa make those comments? It's a dumb thing to say, but it would be even more dumb if he actually saw the replay and still thought he had a reason to get his knickers in a knot.

If you look at replay Correa was busier looking at Osuna that looking to see Smoak having to run towards first base.

 

Jesus Christ, quit acting like a whiny ****.
