So, 4 years in, are you guys still as confident in Shapiro and/or Atkins?

[tercet]

Well, it's not satire...

 

Not satire, true.

 

Do you guys every get bored of trolling 99% of my posts?

[tercet]

Look I've spent 15 years~ playing poker, when I play with most poker players basically your are looking for their weaknesses that good players will exploit. I think pretty much the same IRT to baseball.

 

I quit my job last January 2018, got a car and saw maybe 25~ milb games last year in person across the US, I got to see alot of the Jays prospects and some of their strengths/weaknesses. f*** yeah I will be wrong on some players, but it isn't that hard to pick up alot of the players tendencies.

 

I guess you guys all have a different mindset when it comes to baseball, thinking 99% IRT to stats of what players are doing currently, despite never actually seeing/thing of how any of these milb players play/compete. You guys don't think of how they can get exploited.

Well you can get a criminal record like spanky if you want, not sure why you guys hate me so much.

Maybe I should be a shill and delusional like most of this forum?

 

You make some bold calls and often in a sensational manner, but your calls on SRF and Gurriel are so far spot on.

I definitely wouldn't be welcome as sportsnet/rogers baseball writer, they spin 99% of articles into positive bluejays/rogers news, very little negative news allowed.

Speaking of one, someone who I went to public, middle and high school with.

If you’re asking how long it would take for someone to solicit him for gay sex, I think he’d be waiting awhile. If you’re using that as a euphemism for someone doing violence to him, I think it would happen very quickly.

 

I thought you were all peace loving Canadians.. Condoning ass rape and or beating up some guy on a baseball chat site for a differing opinion..

 

Y'all need to get some of that BC Gold that is legal now and start feeling irie man.. It is not like Tercet made fun of anyone's mother.. He just goes against the grain..

Is this like when I was messing with Boxy and called him a SJW?

 

Dude, go poll any mod or any member who can stomach reading my posts. Maybe drop into the politics section and say hi. Calling me a SJW is like saying Rowdy Tellez is a 5 tool CF.

 

I am sarcastic. I like to mess with the board “clique” that seem to be a bunch of group think guys who don't permit contrary opinions and pile on posters who dare go against the grain.

 

I do stand up for the weak and oppressed, even if I don't agree with them or they are commies etc.

I think you are right.... Now I know how Jim must have felt when someone accused him of secretly having a crush on Donald Trump that he was trying to repress through his anti-Trump rantings and ravings.

[jaysblue]

I disagree. Guys like Martin and Pillar at the 2017 deadline would've netted a lot more then than what they ended up getting for em. So that's 5 players right there that they probably kinda botched.

 

A guy like Josh Donaldson would have netted a lot more at the 2017 deadline. Guys like Martin and Pillar doubt would have brought in anything of significance.

Comparing yourself to the Dogg. Great sense of self-promotion.

[Dick_Pole]

Holy f*** enough with the Donaldson BS. If he was OPS'ing 1.100 at last year's trade deadline instead of being a gimp with 5 games played on the year, the Jays would have gotten a good return. You can never predict when a player goes down to injury. Maybe play the percentages at best. The armchair QBing and hindsighting about this is vomit inducing. During the 2017 season people were very mixed on this board about when to trade him and were open to extending Donaldson, myself included. Yeah the FO didn't trade Donaldson "at the right time" like the Jims of the world would have. They also didn't give him $150 million which would have been an even bigger mistake.

 

Look at what this FO did:

Avoided giving Bautista $150M+

Avoided giving Edwin $100M

Avoided giving JD $150M+

 

That's $400 million spread over five seasons saved from the absolute worst case scenario. Add back $30 million for Morales which is now in the past anyways.

 

Mr. Homeless Poker Player who travels the U.S. watching baseball and shacking up in Motels 6's when not sleeping in his car put not extending Sanchez as a plus when that has never really been regarded as an issue so early in his contract life but neglects these three phantom positive non-signings that could very well have happened with Beeston at the helm trying to appease the fan base. And yeah piling on this douchebag begging for attention is well past its expiry date but I couldn't resist getting my shot in.

It's not even done in a clever way. It's just proclaiming the outcome that the vast majority of prospects will have (failure) and somehow feel8ng that he's smart bbecause of it. Boy I bet pocket Aces will hold up against 7,2 off suit heads up the vast majority of the time and nobody else knows this! I r jenius

Fact is, Jays held onto JD longer than they should have.

I don't post much, but I think like with most folks it's not your opinion. It's your lack of ability to convey your opinion in a way that is so overtly arrogant(intentional or not). You should stop talking in absolutes about prospects and their exact future, unless you enjoy the role of the victim then by all means carry on!

Hahaha that's awesome! Mad magazine LOL.

 

Regarding the baseball analysis, I guess it's just natural for fans to react negatively towards negative opinions regarding top prospects. Fans typically wanna imagine the best case scenario.

[Grant77]

As confident as I am in the rebuild, I must say that this is probably the worst Blue Jays team that I have ever seen in my 30 years of fandom. It's embarrassing and not acceptable. That falls on the coaching, the front office's poor talent evaluation, and their inability to address holes in our offense. Something needs to be done quickly.

In ten years on this forum/old bluejays.com i've been "negative" on 7 prospsects Hech, Sanchez, Hernandez, SRF, Gurriel, Bichette and Pearson. Ones that most casual fans fall in love with looking at stats.

 

I'm not trying to come off as arrogant, but pretty much everytime a good majority of the forum is "stfu noob you noob" and then I'll just troll them back.

[Grant77]

Ten games is indeed a small sample, but when you are basically the worst hitting team in the history of baseball then it probably means something.
