General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2023)

soon?

 

you are so dense

 

A tad on the exaggerative side, maybe

[jaysblue]

I am the most consistent person on this message board

 

You have your hot streaks and cold streaks.

[BigCecil]

The games lately have brought out the shittiest takes ever - hire Mattingly. Bring back the HR jacket - We miss the Barrio antics - Let’s bunt more - Hit Whit lead off - trade Vlad etc etc etc Bottom line is until the players actually produce closer to their projections it’s just going to look like this.

[jaysblue]

Why stop there? I wonder what we could get for Bo, Vlad, Gausman, Berrios and Kirk. This team is s***. I'd hate to see Bo go because he's a fantastic baseball player, but he'll never have success here. Vlad's a POS. Fat, entitled rich boy who doesn't give a f*** about winning or being the best player he can be. You can't build around this guy as he sets no example for his team. Go back and work on your home run derbies in the DR with your buddies while eating grandma's fatty meals. Not many players waste as much talent as Vlad does.

 

Think of the rebuild if we had a fire sale. Bo, Vlad, Gausman, Berrios, Kirk, Chapman, Whit, KK, Belt, Romano, Bassit, Swanson. We're probably stuck with Varsho unfortunately after making the worst trade in franchise history. The issue is we obviously need a new GM first, so we may need to defer this until the offseason. I just had to tell my 12 year old that we're cancelling his birthday at the dome because we don't support f***ing beta losers like the Jays.

 

Lmao.

 

What's wrong with what Terminator said? If the Jays don't make a run they likely try to sell off veterans or players on expiring contracts like Chapman, Kiermaier, Whit and Belt and some relievers. Doubt they trade guys who are still under club control like Gausman, Vladdy, Bo, Berrios, Kirk, Varsho etc. Again still a lot of time until the trade deadline and the Jays could turn things around, but geez he's just talking about a possible scenario and you're getting all pissy as usual.

This FO took 2 years to sell when we were rebuilding. They won't sell now.

lmao. Watch us go 5-13 in these 18 games the softest part of our schedule and this becomes reality.

[Terminator]

It's a telling part of the schedule. They are only a game back of the last WC spot though. If they play even just decent in those 18 games they could rise as high as WC2.

[Laika]

Just limp into the playoffs, pathetically with 50% attendance and no fanfare, then hand the ball to Goose and pray.

 

WORLD SERIES HERE WE COME.

Yah were not out of it by any means. I think most people are pissed because the team seems to be on a downward trajectory. However these games could turn the whole season around or sink it. Hopefully we take full advantage.

[Stangstag]

Yeah I can’t see it. They’d have to be a solid 5-10 games under .500 at the deadline to even consider selling

[Krylian]

We’re the American League Phillies

 

Phillies were in the World Series last season. Do you see us anywhere near that?

[The Iceman]

Lmao.

You can add Ryu and Chad Green to the sell pile.

 

Looking forward to our brilliant GM pulling off shrewd deadline deals.

Maybe duplicate a Donaldson WITH SALARY RETAINED for Merryweather.

And the extra kick in the nuts was designating Jon Berti for assignment to make room for Julian on the 40 man LOL.

Yeah it could happen. Phillies shouldn’t have made it anywhere in the playoffs passed Rd1 but they did. Its all luck and timing. Could happen.

[Terminator]

Do I see us as being able to win 87 games and get into the playoffs as the WC3 at which point anything can happen? Yeah, I suppose so.

[Brownie19]

Lmao.

Piling new s*** next to the existing s*** pile isn't going to do much bud. Vlad is the largest piece of s*** in the pile - if you're going to get ride of the stink in Toronto, it starts with him. You can't build teams around losers. I wonder what we could get for him. Maybe a couple of prospects in the 50-100 range?

[Krylian]

When's the last time the Jays had that kind of luck on their side?

[Brownie19]

How sad is this? That's probably the best case scenario right now. The real question is what will this FO do? Are we just going to do nothing and HOPE this best case scenario comes true? or will they start firing coaches/managers and trading losers now to try and change their own fate? My guess is they will do nothing and HOPE it works out. Unfortunately, HOPE isn't a f***ing strategy.

Jesus f*** man you should go back to the homer version of yourself, this current version is absolutely insufferable.

Never. Maybe you could argue 2016 they went further than they should've

[AMS528]

I see Twitter and Reddit have discovered Dave Hudgens (Jays bench coach) twitter likes. That may not go down great for him, since beyond the usual type of anti-pride month stuff, he's got a good mix of denying elections, anti-vax, BLM, Tucker Carlson supporting stuff.

 

And also some weird about Mel Gibson related post, that's definitely on the questionable end of things.

 

I gotta say looking through it, whatever you think about any of the individual topics, taken as a whole this man is like a grade A moron. Anyone like him who genuinely really believes like Kari Lake was robbed of an elections is a remarkably stupid person.

C'mon - that's a legitimate question. What is this FO going to do with this team? Just sit there and HOPE we turn it around? or will they actually do something about it to try and change their own fate. Will they try all the gimmicky s*** like firing the manager or the hitting coach? Will they make an aggressive trade to bring in some help?

 

This FO is taking a ton of criticism right now - what do the smart arm chair GM's think we should do?

Fix manoah, add pen piece, add a bench bat to crush lefties. That's about that can be done with this roster given it's remarkably good health.

 

A slightly less likely scenario would be that Manoah gets fixed AND Ryu AND Green come back, which would shift Kikuchi to the pen, trade or DFA Cimber, Hatch or whomever else they need to to make roster room. There's really not a lot of big moves that can even be made with this roster. It's tweaking, or gutting, and they wont be gutting.

"Discovered" ok...just for fun I decided to check out his Twitter. The second thing on his feed is a retweet wishing Trump to be back as President and general right-wing political stuff all the way down. His personal politics shouldn't be an issue, but if it is, why did these Sherlock Holmes enthusiasts wait until now? Not like the guy was in hiding about it. And then you brought this cancer here to I guess spark a discussion? Shame on you.

You gotta wonder if he just DGAF or is just stupid to not have made his socials private after the Bass fiasco.

Just stupid. Also the Jays PR department is extremely incompetent if they didn’t do a deep dive on everyone and rolled out a plan to scrub bad content
