Series Thead... Sept 3rd and 4th Phillies @ Jays... GO JAYS GO!!!

[hanton]

5 war Vlady

[Omar]

I had Vladdy for the hr contest tonight

[Spanky99]

Keep letting em back in the game, c'mon Swanson??? This s*** getting old.

[Brownie19]

It's hard to fathom we are having real conversations about putting Vlad at 3rd extensively (or even for 50 games). He's essentially useless at 1st base defensively.

Let him be useless at 3B, at least he has an elite arm to help make up for it slightly. Opens up bringing in someone like Alonso

LETS GO BLUE JAYS *CLAP, CLAP* *CLAP, CLAP, CLAP*

[G-Snarls]

Add a double for Vladdy

 

His end of season stats are going to be real good

[G-Snarls]

Let's go Green

[Spanky99]

Green for the save... Lets Go

[Spanky99]

29 combined hits and 15 runs, lots of ducks on the pond.

[Spanky99]

Wow... Vlad's had a rough night defensively, lol.

 

Green gets f***ed.

[gruber92]

Vladdy needs to knock that down at the very least.

His arm is useless if he doesn't catch the ball. He's botched 3 plays that most (all?) major league 1st basemen make tonight. He should just DH.

[gruber92]

Yup, Green f***ed things again.

[G-Snarls]

f*** off Schwarber

 

LOL

[Stangstag]

Bullpen is still a f***ing disaster lol.

 

Will be interesting to see what happens next year. It was good in 2023, bad this year with mainly the same guys..... good again in. 2025??

[Spanky99]

Seen that coming, Schwarber was an absolute beast tonight.

[Jaysareus]

Enough about schwarbler

Hopefully...

Vladdy connecting with 35 dingers by the end of the season isn't something I anticipated at the end of April.

[Spanky99]

Leo roped that s***.

All kinds of doubles too.

[hanton]

Leo Jimenez!!!

 

2025 SS

[BigCecil]

Gross.

 

4.5 FIP with a K rate under 8/9 and 0 WAR for Green - all for the pen bargain bin price of $10.5M AAV. Never liked that deal coming off the surgery. He isn't the guy he was in 2021.

 

Unfortunately for our pen where everything is relative, he has been one of our better stabilizing lights out leverage arms.

[Delgalladay]

It’s crazy how many big home runs this bullpen continues to surrender.

[WryNGinger]

Tonight's Jay's game was the most Jaysiest game that's ever been Jay'd.

 

Some great plays and some total clownshow s***.

 

The perfect encapsulation of the season in one game.

171 wRC+ after tonight. Could definitely end as a better hitting season than his 2021 year now. Also of some interest, even with his underperforming last season, his overall wRC+ for the last four years combined is 145. Good for 9th in the league.

 

12th in the league for fWAR among position players as well. 10th by rWAR. Even when he had started hitting well the refrain was that he would end up with 3-4 WAR for the year.

 

Gotta say though, one depressing fact about this year is that an absolutely elite hitting season by Vlad has us six games under .500. We have last years pitching staff with this Vlad and we're ok. Not having an ace, the worlds worst bullpen, nothing from Bo, bad seasons from Springer, KK being bad and then Schneider also turning into a pumpkin. Just a lot of areas failing.

 

Really speaks to the mountain the Jays have to climb for next year. You have to hope you get literally this exact season from Vlad again, plus either Bo or replacement Bo has to perform, you have to hope you completely successfully revamp the pen (although it very literally could not be worse), either sign an ace or hope that Gausman can pitch like one again, hope that Berrios continues to outperform his frightening peripherals, that Bassitt doesn't decline, and that we can sign someone who lifts the floor of this team. It's a lot.

[Stangstag]

Why is the site so f’n slow today

[Masterbather]

Chad Green is a baseball terrorist.

[G-Snarls]

What a s***** loss
