  1. Gurriel is on a s***** free agent contract. Below-average hitter this year and on track to put up a league-average season in LF for 14M, the first year of a 42M deal. Arizona probably couldn't give that contract away at this point. And Moreno just kind of sucks
  2. Not even really. Every win increases my anxiety about Atkins holding on the free agents
  3. This is what I posted earlier: You've basically just reiterated what I said, only you're framing it as a disagreement for some reason.
  4. A 0.730 OPS this year is like 10% above league average. If we knew before the season that Schneider, Turner, IKF, Jansen, and Varsho would combine for like a 110 wRC+ halfway through the season we'd be buying playoff tickets.
  5. Soto for Brendan Rodgers is the single greatest move of my Fantasy career
  6. Following up: Springer is like -10 offensive runs this year. 13 runs or so behind where he'd be if he played to projections. Bichette is at -7. About 15 runs below projections. Kirk -8, and would have been projected at a small positive. Say 10 runs below projections. That's a 38-run swing. The difference between 27th in runs (where the Jays sit) and middle of the pack (15th). And that's without accounting for Vlad being Ryan Noda and not Yordan Alvarez.
  7. Basically nobody on this forum was completely right or wrong. Some people were right that complaining about the Varsho trade and IKF signing were way overblown. Others were right that the offense wasn't good enough. But were wrong about why it wouldn't be good enough: the secondary offense has been very, very good and the biggest culprits for the limp dick offense have actually been Vlad, Bo, Springer, and Kirk. They were right about Atkins having failed, but wrong about why: it's not that he overemphasized defense, but rather that he either misevaluated the core or hired an inept staff that failed to unlock their skills (both?). And then basically everyone on the forum was wrong about the pitching.
  8. This f***ing trade. It was ******** at the time. Then cost me a title last year, and remains ******** today. It haunts me.
  9. Also top-notch swagger on the velo check + smirk as he walk off
  10. That's gonna be 10 games too
  11. Edwin Diaz ejected for sticky stuff before throwing a pitch
  12. If this isn't a league of Jays fans that's probably not going to get accepted
  13. I don't think we're going to see Romano again this year
  14. I've been checked out recently and thought maybe he had been running a bit hotter lately to explain this. 24 wRC+ in June 4 wRC+ the last week This team is utterly lost
  15. I'm trying to think of a good team that 'buys low' by offering long-term contracts to players who are physically compromised or coming off bad years. Drawing a blank. Good teams tend to just spend money on players who have been good recently.
  16. Yeah, Bo has been fun in the past. He hasn't been right for a year now though. I don't know if his physical tools are going to come back, but right now he's a bad defensive shortstop, bad baserunner, and bad hitter who makes very bad swing decisions. I feel like Jays fans saying the team should sign him long-term are just getting too cute with the 'buy low' idea. If its a 1-year pillow contract then sure, but right now this player just f***ing sucks, and I don't think anyone would want a multi-year deal with him in the offseason if he was coming from another org. Similar thoughts on Vladdy. When your soon-to-be FA 1B is hitting like 2023 Ryan Noda, I don't see a 'buy-low' opportunity. Just a situation where you're glad the team didn't sign him to a long-term extension.
  17. There's no way you (or anyone else) actually enjoy watching either of these two bums play baseball.
  18. WTF, I tune in and see Toronto is getting carved up by Carlos Carrasco. This is pathetic even by their standards.
  19. That is unbelievable
  20. Probably missed out on 2-3 great seasons on the front end of his career, and should still finish with about 40 fWAR. 100-150 wins, 2000 IP, maybe close to 2500 Ks. Easily the best Japanese pitcher of all-time. I don't think it's been a disappointing career. He'll be remembered.

    He'll probably be there with Mario Lemieux, Howe, and Bobby Orr in the small tier of 2-3 guys behind Gretzky.
  22. I've seen all of 35 innings of him. But the only active pitcher who I think is as impressive is DeGrom. The stuff is one thing, but Skenes commands 100 on the black basically every game, and most games commands the 95 mph splinker. And also has a plus slider. It's outrageous. If he can get through the next 20 years with only 1-2 catastrophic injuries he's going to have an insane career.
  23. Honestly, all of you guys are annoying at this point and basically ruining the forum with the same back and forth across every thread for months straight. But to answer the question: Brownie's snark might be bannable depending on the context. That type of post is legit annoying. You calling out the moderation is definitely bannable.
  24. Nobody yet. Cody Poteet has been starting games for them with Schmidt out a few months.
