Laika Community Moderator Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 What a great win. Big for the morale!
Stangstag Old-Timey Member Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 Chapman was a much more impressive defender before coming to Toronto. Now he's very good, but not "elite" anymore. Like, his UZR is #4 in the league which is great but it's a full win worse than his prime. Sure, makes sense. He definitely doesn’t pass the eye test much of the time though, at least this year. Seems to have taken a step back.
Stangstag Old-Timey Member Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 Great start to the series!!
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted September 23, 2023 Author Posted September 23, 2023 Someone has to make the GDT tomorrow, pusso's, I'll be heading to the East Coast tomorrow.

Stangstag Old-Timey Member Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 Also makes me distrustful of "WAR" even more. He was an absolute monster in April. Probably accumulated like more than half of that WAR by May.
Omar Old-Timey Member Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 Someone has to make the GDT tomorrow, pusso's, I'll be heading to the East Coast tomorrow. I'm working all day but if no one does, I will get on it. Have a good trip.
Stangstag Old-Timey Member Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 What eye test? Watching the games
Stangstag Old-Timey Member Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 Varsho with some blondy scruff?? Thats new
Laika Community Moderator Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 Watching the games No I mean what is your test What are you measuring him against What are you saying he is NOT???
Stangstag Old-Timey Member Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 No I mean what is your test What are you measuring him against What are you saying he is NOT??? Im measuring him based of what I saw from him last year.
Masterbather Verified Member Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 Well our first round of King, Cole and Glasnow resulted in 2 wins. Somehow, someway. That's big, let's keep it going against the lesser pitchers as we prepare for those three guys again next week.
Orgfiller Old-Timey Member Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 I see it as more of an indictment on the rest of the team that Chapman is the WAR leader with 3.2 I mean, Gausman exists. The pitching and defense has been great, that’s why we’re here. The hitters as a group have been decent but nobody has stood out for prolonged periods without slumping or getting injured (Bo).
Laika Community Moderator Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 Im measuring him based of what I saw from him last year. I don't think you have a proper appreciation for his peer group at the position 3B includes big uglies like Devers, Riley, Eugenio Suarez, Candelario, JD Davis, Isaac Paredes, 38 year old DJLM, Max f***ing Muncy, Jake Burger lmao, Alec Bohm lmffffffao, the positionless Spencer Steer, Jose Miranda, Patrick Wisdom, 42 year old Evan Longoria, Mike Moustakas who is still in baseball for some reason, Gio Urshela the one that got away Chapman clearly belongs in the upper 10 or whatever with guys like Machado, McMahon, Arenado. None of these guys touch Ke'Bryan Hayes though. He's the new gold standard.
connorp Old-Timey Member Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 What eye test? A lot less jerking off this season in GDTs about vacuum Chappy is one measurable
bones10 Old-Timey Member Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 Getting some gutsy wins late, kind of starting to like this team over the last month or so. Varsho seems to be taking over a role as a leader/clutch kind of guy. Bullpen and pitching overall is lights out.
infinitebook Verified Member Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 No I mean what is your test What are you measuring him against What are you saying he is NOT??? I think the biggest difference is he'd made more errors this year, which is gonna dominate the "eye test" a lot

glory Old-Timey Member Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 Huge win. If the Jays can take 1 of the next 2, it would be a fantastic road trip heading into the final week of the season.
BigCecil Old-Timey Member Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 Someone has to make the GDT tomorrow, pusso's, I'll be heading to the East Coast tomorrow. Have a good trip. big W tonight!
Eat My Shatkins Verified Member Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 What a f***ing massive win that was!
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted September 23, 2023 Author Posted September 23, 2023 Have a good trip. big W tonight! Flight was cancelled, what a shitshow of a morning, well, tomorrow then, lol.
jaysblue Old-Timey Member Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 Flight was cancelled, what a shitshow of a morning, well, tomorrow then, lol. Damn that sucks. Did you head out to the airport or did you find about your flight being cancelled before you left?
Omar Old-Timey Member Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 Flight was cancelled, what a shitshow of a morning, well, tomorrow then, lol. That sucks. But on the bright side GDT is yours.
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted September 23, 2023 Author Posted September 23, 2023 Damn that sucks. Did you head out to the airport or did you find about your flight being cancelled before you left? When I got there at the island, and opened my phone for the ticket, haha. Ah well, s*** happens. Flight crew emergency shortage, da fuq???

Flight crew emergency shortage, da fuq??? Ah flying out of YTZ. At least you didn't have to travel across the 401 to YYZ. Yeah flight crew shortages have been an issue with a lot of Canadian airlines. Porter especially since they've been expanding at a really fast pace.
