Besides having the best home record the Jays are the only team in the East that now has a winning away record: 30-29 on the road.  38-19 at home.

I see them like the 2022 Orioles. Bunch of young guys promoted mid-season that are hungry. Have a great 2nd half. Next year they probably win the division. Solid young core like the Os, except willing to spend.

And unlike the Orioles, they recognize the importance of starting pitching

Gaus still getting it done. We really need him to keep that clock turned back for the rest of this season and into the playoffs. Would be huge

This is 3 ace level starts for Gausman in his last 4 outings. I'm hopeful that he's found his game for the stretch run as the top of the rotation version of Gausman is a game changer.

Looks like you don't understand the point of a message board. 

Many of us like to discuss strengths and weaknesses whether the team is horseshit in the standings or whether the team is first place. We can discuss how we got here, we can discuss where we go from here. And yes we're allowed to think this season has been a bit of a fluke. So what?

What you don't seem to understand, clearly, is that we can have these debates and also enjoy the season at the same time. Nobody here is under a dark cloud, everyone is thrilled, we're winning, we're happy to be winning. That doesn't mean there aren't concerns or criticisms or debates about who should play and who shouldn't play and discussions about strengths and weaknesses, organizational discussions. 

Not everybody has to do it your way. Not everybody has to agree with you. But everyone can still enjoy the winning.

I think you're the one that needs to relax. You keep accusing others of not enjoying it meanwhile you seem to be more miserable than everybody else.

I'm in a good place, I got a few games I'm going to in the next couple of weeks, going to be a great crowd and a fun atmosphere.

Man you've been a giant wet blanket for several years now, so you deserve every bit of s*** that you get as you fully earned it. Even now it's glass full at best with you with snide comments about the Jays trade deadline stating that the players they got aren't any good and if they had better prospects they could have added good players.

Yes I was less than enthused with a team that for the last few years had one of the highest payrolls and yet was not close to a championship with a farm system that was mostly s***. Apparently that's a sin. 

But, when did I say the players they got at the deadline weren't any good? Because I didn't.

I liked their deadline acquisitions.

I said so at the time.

I was happy with the deadline overall especially given what they had to work with.

If they had a deeper system could they have gotten the ace relievers? Yes. Maybe they could have added another more impactful right-handed bat.

That doesn't mean the players they got weren't any good. 

You put words in my mouth and then bark at me about it. 

What a dumbass.

The one I get excited about is that  they are 38-25 against teams > .500 .  They are winning against the good teams at a better rate than anyone else in the league. Brewers are next closest at 35-24

That was my initial retort to the fluke comment, apparently we're just lucky to be beating good teams, lol.
