General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2024)

[Jays24]

 

He was hitting the panic button after 5 games in February

 

Look at our lineup... it's gotta be one of the worst when comparing to all other potential playoff teams. People were hitting the panic button before the offseason began so its definitely going to be something people like me constantly cry about lol.

[Spanky99]

Toronto probably sends him to AAA just because they can and it lets them delay any 40 man decision for a couple weeks

 

People suggesting Vlad at 3B is comical actually, and Votto wants to ramp up to where he feels ready, he'll be in Buffalo to start for sure.

Not true

[Laika]

The lineup is only bad if you are a pessimist / don't believe in the players which... you could say about almost every team.

 

It's natural for Jays fans to be cynical about the offense because of how 2023 went but I still think people are overreacting

 

Everyone who underperformed other than Springer is on the good side of the aging curve. Water flows downhill, young players tend to improve or regress positively. Simple concept!

[hanton]

lineup is far from bad just not as as good as the dodgers, astros, rangers, phillies, orioles

[Spanky99]

Just caught YR's outing, dude looks good, nice signing by Ross.

Maybe if they let him play at 3b when he wanted to in the last couple years he would’ve come into ST in better shape. Now we have an expensive can of pea soup there. Could’ve had Vlad and some fat guy on 1b that can at least be a league average bat. The only thing comical is you trying to sound like you know the difference between your elbow and *******.

Probably as good as the Phillies

 

You left the Braves out

yea it's close with the Phillies but I still think they have a better lineup, right on the Braves

[deanmike]

Sentiment is building among the fanbase that Clement should earn the starting 3B job to begin the season.

[hanton]

..depends which Casti shows up

for me both Schneider and Clement deserve to be on the 26, Biggio and Espinal can take a hike - enough of them

Why Biggio? Only need to move one player.

Well if it’s a tie, Philly can win a playoff game and hit, so they get the tie breaker in the matter.

[Spanky99]

connorp's just a troll now, other than stupid, of course.

better, I wasn't sure

[vdartanian]

The man told us he could still bang.

 

[connorp]

 

I’m bet he’s still making money on that somehow.

Can you plug me in a Jack N. “you can’t handle the truth” gif

They gave him every bit of a chance at 3B and he sucked, they moved on and acquired Chapman. Vlad's going to make you look stupid as usual anyhow, ya bag of hammers, league average bat, lmao.

Hey stupid, maybe try a little harder on the reading comprehension

[Dick_Pole]

Bet Jays to win the AL East at +450 lately. Not because I'm super bullish on the Jays but the rest of the division doesn't look threatening at all. Everyone knows my opinion on the Yankees and that's just been magnified the last few days. Orioles seem susceptible to high variance. That team could win anywhere from 85-105 games and I wouldn't be surprised. Took a hit the last two years doing this bet at lesser odds (did offset last year with a small flier on the O's at +2,500 or something). Maybe third time is a charm. 90 wins could win the AL East this year.

Those are decent odds and I agree with you on the Yankees.

Pretty optimistic about Varsho. Could be a huge win once Moreno takes a foul tip to the mask

I hope Moreno is good.

 

I just hope Varsho is even better

[Laika]

Varsho is going to be good this year. Seems like he is going to run more and be more of a put it in play guy, at least in certain counts or matchups.

 

.260/.330/.450

 

20/30

 

4.5 WAR

Post history tells a lot you f***ing troglodyte.

I really hope he can become a menace on the bases. I think he has it in him.
