[Effit]

Out

[JaysAllMighty]

umps are intimidated by Vladdy... LOL

[Horses Fart]

Out

[Deadpool]

Yeah, he's out.

 

And I really hate it when players make the safe call, even when they're Vladdy.

[Daniel Labude]

Hit the f***ing ball. Little league offense

[Spanky99]

Great effort by Vlad.

[JFD]

Vladdy's movie sucks so far

[JaysAllMighty]

Yeah, he's out.

 

And I really hate it when players make the safe call, even when they're Vladdy.

 

Why? They do it in tee ball

[Solaxys]

Kwan/JRam inc, fun times ahead

[Spanky99]

Birds aren't giving Manoah a breather, holy!

[BigCecil]

Vladdy's movie sucks so far

 

Seems like it some days but 17-12 with this schedule, Teo and Jansen out. Berrios mostly being mediocre ish. It's been slow, but the ending is the best part.

[Olerud363]

Vladdy's movie sucks so far

 

He's doing his part hitting OK in a tough offensive environment. Though projects to be more of a 4 WAR player than a 7 WAR this year.

 

More of a Matt Olson then the next Pujols... only 1 month so that can change.

 

Overall hugely disappointing offense. Not sure why people thought Teo would change things. Why would Teo be able to hit the dead ball when everyone else on the Blue Jays struggles with it?

 

Hilariously the pitching is even worse but this is hidden by the dead ball.

[Spanky99]

The best is yet to come.

[Effit]

lol

[Spanky99]

That was going to hit him in the nuts, lol.

[BigCecil]

Chappy not crappy on D.

[Spanky99]

1-2-3 Sweet!

[Effit]

Jfc guys.. do something

[Jays24]

Da Fuq?

 

So you're saying that Chapman has actually been good this year at the plate?

[Jays24]

Seems like it some days but 17-12 with this schedule, Teo and Jansen out. Berrios mostly being mediocre ish. It's been slow, but the ending is the best part.

 

Agreed about the schedule but every team faces injuries so that really shouldn't be factored into why we're struggling. No team will have 100% health throughout the year, that's when your bench depth is supposed to pick you up.

[Omar]

you either die a hero, or you live long enough to become the villain

 

 

Need to bring Biggio back to regain our mojo

[G-Snarls]

Chapman 0-3 with 3K

 

Holy f***

[Spanky99]

So you're saying that Chapman has actually been good this year at the plate?

 

No, league average. You said you wanted production, so I mentioned he's T-46 in steaks, RS and has 5 HR's think of Joe Carter, but with elite defense.

[Daniel Labude]

Time to change things.

 

Bo

Vlad

Teo

Springer

Gurriel

Espinal

Kirk

Chapman

Tapia

[Spanky99]

I was also saying wtf are you talking about, lol. Tellez, where'd that come from?

[Olerud363]

The best is yet to come.

 

Wish I had your optimism. This reminds me of 1988 (my first season watching regularly).

 

Something changed with the ball as compared to 86/87 and Moseby/Bell/Barfield were done, Jays had to retool. Ended well but 88 was a write off.

 

Feels like it will be a weird year figuring out who can and cannot handle the new environment, and early returns are Jays can't handle it, and will need to retool a bit.

[Effit]

Not this time you annoying f***

[Omar]

This what Naylor will look like at the end of his career.

And they're still 5 games above 500, that's what BC is saying. The record after 162 will separate the best teams from the shyte, Toronto is one of them.

Keep Calm, Olerud. lol
