Put some respect on Brent Rooker's name, one of the best hitters in baseball!

 

He's on pace for a monster year. I'm surprised he wasn't an All-Star.

It's a new forum and almost a new year. Not directing at anyone in particular, but can everyone at least attempt to turn over a new leaf and stop with the constant bickering? We are all too old for th

Flaherty and Profar would both be good signings. High upside and no QO attached. They'd be my targets. But Pivetta and Tony Taters (Santander) are almost underrated at this point. The QOs suck bu

I feel that's literally giving a GM no credit, where credit is due. He doesn't just print contracts for people to sign who want to play here.   I think there's a lot of reasons players choose not to

Blue Jays should trade for him next offseason.

I didn't even realize he wasn't, that's an egregious omission, dude has the sixth best wRC+ in baseball (166) behind Judge, Ohtani, Soto, Harper and Henderson.

He'll be moved this deadline, top 3 available bat with control.

 

Doubt it. 4 years of control still

Looking like Mad Max is the O's next victim. That team is so good, and the pundits are saying they're shopping for SP and RP headlining Miller from Oakland, Welp!

Frustrating that this Bo/Vlad core has never had a team that looks as strong as the 2023-24 Os.

 

I hate this sport sometimes

2021 was a pretty damn good team.

Would have been interesting to see that team in the Postseason. Definitely the best Jays team we've seen in the Shatkins era.

The Atkins era wasn't bad at all, averaged 90 wins through 20-23, 4 good years. The '21 team had a Pythagorean record of 99 wins. It is too bad those clubs couldn't take advantage, his ship has sailed, especially concerning the farm. He's failed.

I think that team was comparable to the 2015 team as one of the best in baseball.

They failed to adequately address the pen in time in 21 and it ended up biting them in the ass.

Yes, it certainly did. A lot of Montoya in that too, frustrating.

Yeah they had their window of opportunity like you said from 2021 onwards though never full capitalized or took advantage of that competitive window. Not all the fault of Atkins, but he could have done more IMO to address some of the issues on the roster during those years. Just never was able to take that next step.

 

I still think the Jays could be competitive in 2025, but that requires some creativity and a very proactive offseason.

Yeah they had the pitching and offensively were one of the best teams in baseball. Sucks that they failed to adequately address the bullpen in time.

Well I mean he had to hit a homer, double and single too but yes the triple wasn’t of the traditional variety

"I trust myself"

 

Fairbanks on a reporters question if he should have walked Judge after the Soto double in the bottom of the ninth. These reporters have no clue - maybe ask it in a different way "what was the plan after the Soto double?"...etc

I don’t know any of the context but that’s a fair question. Especially for an percentages driven team like the Rays

I'd be curious what the %'s say about putting the tying run on first and bringing the winning run to the plate. That's historically been a baseball "no-no", but obviously with the batter being Judge, that would skew the %'s a lot (getting close to how it would have been skewed back in the day with Bonds).

The best hitters on the planet get a hit 3 out of 10 times. Can’t really discount that fact
