GDT: 1/3 Los Angeles Angels @ Toronto Blue Jays @ (Friday 7:10 ET)

[hanton]

lol Springer isn't going lower than 5th in the order

[Eat My Shatkins]

Let's get Bednar for closer insurance (and control)

[Jonn]

He would cost more than Hader. But I’m down.

[Omar]

3 lefties in a row at the bottom of the lineup?

 

True that, but Springer wont go lower than 6th (I'm actually surprised they took him off leadoff).

[BigCecil]

Varsho should be hitting 9th vs righties. Not playing vs Lefties. And hopefully be a defense and pinch runner post trade deadline.

 

AKA known as Bradley Zimmer.

 

I do agree for '23. Start over in the spring for '24 and if needs to play CF and C as a back up to justify being in the line up, so be it.

[Omar]

I don't think Bednar would want to play for the Jays.

[BigCecil]

Would like to see...

 

Merrifield

Bichette

Vladdy

Jansen

Chappy

Springer

Belt

Varsho

KK

 

Why Belt so low? He has been worth twice the WAR of Vlad and has a 122 wRC+.

I’m not suggesting giving up on Varsho forever. There’s tremendous potential for a bounce back next Season. But he is clearly lost for this year and we can’t afford to continue to allow him to post a sub .600 OPS which he has done for his last 300 AB’s in LF. Gotta add a bat the lineup. Jays are in win now mode.

[BigCecil]

And every other team is in on him in a sellers market, going to be expensive.

 

Really expensive. That deal for Giolito is indicative of rental prices. Steep.

 

This FO might surprise us. Nobody saw the Berrios deal coming with the Twins. Not their MO. Last deadline was kind of a yawner although Whit has paid off.

I think a Pham deal is likely gonna get done soon.

[Spanky99]

You can't possibly compare this to the Mitch White swap. Once again don't like paying premium arms for Swingman your own organization should be developing.

 

Hader is a lockdown elite end of the game reliever who doesn't give up contact.

 

Where the f*** did I compare this to White? Dumbass!

[Jonn]

Relax old man. Figured that’s what your smart ass response was hinting at. A lot of people like to bring up me getting upset about trading Frasso.

[Spanky99]

Bednar would cost bigly.

[Jonn]

I think a Pham deal is likely gonna get done soon.

 

Pham helps. Just hope his hamstring issue is behind him.

Did you go to the Jays game tonight?

[BigCecil]

 

You have been WAITING to use that!!

[Jonn]

Did you go to the Jays game tonight?

 

I was there yes. Fun but stressful night.

[WryNGinger]

I was there yes. Fun but stressful night.

 

What were the fans yelling to Cabbage you mentioned?

[Jonn]

What were the fans yelling to Cabbage you mentioned?

 

Just a bunch of stupid s*** people were yelling at him.

 

“Nobody likes cabbage”

 

“Gausman’s gonna chew you up and spit you out”

 

“I guess you haven’t heard. All our cabbage is on fire”. In reference to the Canadian forest fires lol.

 

I thought it was pretty creative for a Toronto crowd lol.

lol...cringe.

 

Not even any coleslaw or sauerkraut references? Be better Toronto!

 

Side note...I can't think of a single other person with a vegetable as a last name...anyone got anything?

Alex Cobb. He’s a full salad.

 

Kyle Garlick, Jake burger, David Dahl, David Fry(pretty sure he’s French), Jake Lamb, Rene Pinto, Mike trout…none are vegetables, but they could make a decent buffet

Closest I got was Jerry Rice.

 

It's been proven by science that Cabbage is a really odd last name.

[Jays24]

So pretty much he's Bradley Zimmer with some pop loll

OPS plus- 79 (T- 73rd)

Times on base- 101 (72nd)

Batting Average- .213 (72nd)

Runs batted in- 31 (T- 71st)

 

[spats]

Vlad, Whit does not like that, dude.

 

I can't think of any player that likes it.Why does Vladdy continue to do this. Surprises me that nobody has the balls to confront him.He has become my least favourite Jay.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ That s*** should be saved for walkoffs, imo.

[G-Snarls]

Didn't watch the game or post cause I'm away having a blast doing other things

 

We beat them and their new acquisition? Nice

[jaysblue]

Yeah adding Hader or Bednar would really solidify this pen. Plus getting Green back as well, Jays would have a lockdown pen in the late innings with Green, Bednar or Nader and Romano. Wish they made a deal like that either in 2021 or 2022.

[Stangstag]

Guy is 35. He has been great but I'd be cautious. No chance on 3/45. He is a 2 ish WAR player who has been smoking hot. Recency bias.

 

Yeah. I wouldn’t go higher than 2/20 for him
