General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2024)

[hanton]

Are bat-only players like Vlad really more risk? I feel like offense has less variance than defensive stats year to year. Same with age-related decline. Wonder if its something Fangraphs or other nerds have looked into

 

he isn't bat only. Kendrys Morales is a bat only player

I saw David Bell hit a game-winning single off of K-Rod in Game 4 of the 2002 World Series in San Francisco. Geezus I am getting old.

Context? I just tried going on Netflix and can't access the fight...

Biggest moment in their history and they s*** the bed

I had zero issues logging in personally. The quality was up and down throughout and it buffered occasionally but no issues with the stream otherwise. I can't say you missed much though as the main fight was a dud.

My IPTV was perfect

Ya luckily I have both, Netflix broke for a lot of folks.

Iron Mike looked more like Turtle Mike. Old and slow. Looked good for the first 2 rounds and that was it. Boring fight.

[G-Snarls]

My son video called us and shared his screen, was the only way could watch. Netflix failed on multiple TVs and my laptop

 

And yeah fight wasn't even worth watching. 16 mins of boxing with not one moment of excitement or drama

 

Bah

Go back and watch the 2 fights before Paul/Tyson, included the woman's fight. They were both incredible. Non-stop action for all 12 rounds. Those people beat the living s*** out of each other.

Yeah I have to give props to that women's bout, that was quite a battle. Serrano is a tough cookie for eating those repeated headbutts and continuing with that nasty cut, she was robbed.

[Stangstag]

And we get yet another stupid fight (albeit less stupid than that boxing circus) tonight with Jon Jones vs a 50 yr old Stipe that hasn’t fought in like 4 years.

 

Pretty sure everyone wants Stipe to win but knows it will be Jones.

[Jays24]

Team Jones baby... I called him to be the next superstar after his first fight on the prelims!! Privilege to watch the GOAT.

Hahaha, yeah pretty much. Hope old-man Stipe wins, but pretty sure Jones will take it.

Bang on. I don't get what people expected from a 58 year old Tyson, I was hoping he'd knock that f***head out though.

In actuality that's a 42 year old vs a 37 year old so not nearly as ridiculous and staged primarily for spectacle.

Yea but still, Stipe hasn’t had a fight in 4 years and that fight ended with him getting sent to the shadow realm.

 

Easy W for Jones in all likelihood

Yup. The difference between 37 and 42 is a big deal in MMA, especially if they've taken some big KOs. It's been over a decade since a fighter over 37 won a title (Anderson Silva at 38). The only other fighter in history to win a title over the age of 37 was Randy Couture and that was in a completely different era.

 

Being over 40 in MMA and still being successful is even harder than staying in the game in MLB at that age (you're adding in a s***-ton of lifelong injuries and accumulation of damage)

Let's not act like Jones has fought much either. It was 2 rusty guys at the end of their careers but one is the true GOAT who just can't be beat by anyone.

Jays made their initial pitch to Soto today. Sources describe the pitch as "impressive"

Give him 750M IDGAF

[The_DH]

I like your attitude, let Rogers spend the big bucks they get from us.

[Dick_Pole]

Give him 750M IDGAF

 

Do it, and say they will save money to pay Soto by cutting their DEI department. I can't wait for all the non-baseball fans (online feminists, pathetic male feminists and/or the alphabet crowd who don't watch sports, commies, poor people and other various demographics I don't like) to have a big hissy fit about Rogers spending this much on a baseball player if it happens while at the same time ripping off the plebs. That alone will be worth the contract even before he has his first plate appearance. Capitalism FTW!

Scott Boras "This is an impressive offer that I can use to extract more money out of a New York or LA team. Thank you for your assistance Blue Jays...here, have a Yusei."?

NOT POLITICAL - Baseball related as commentary on societal trends that will lead to sad days for Blue Jays.... (also I did not start this conversation... just do believe that the opposite of what DP thinks could happen).

 

What will happen is Soto signs the big deal with someone else... Vlad Jr. has to be traded and the feminists, white men for Hillary, communists and Justin Trudeau lovers will get Spencer Horwitz Jersey's.

 

Baseball is not important to many considering what is happening in the world. The number one goal of Canadian Society right now is to re-elect Justin Trudeau to show everyone that we Canadians believe in Science, believe in order, believe in the establishment, believe in love,

 

NOT POLITICAL - Baseball related commentary as these societal trends, the effort to re-elect Justin Trudeau and save Western society will be the focus of this country... we will cheer our second tier, 72 win, 1.4 million in attendance baseball team if we have time, but there is a larger fight!

 

(Not my opinon that this is right, I think Jays should go super capitalist and run a 500 million dollar payroll made possible by tax breaks from Pierre Polievre, and give him free political adds behind homeplate) but do not shoot me, just pointing out what will probably happen instead and why).
