I think being a s***** team killed the Leaves, actually

Whoa, wtf? If he could always grow that, why was he clean shaven all these years? He should go to jail for that.

Indeed. They sure did. At least Toronto will finally see playoff hockey past the first round

He's saying you were about to post it as a final in terms of teams making it before the Leaves lucked their way into a s***** win and you were forced to include them as a possibility.

It's too politically incorrect

The Windmill strikes again

So you're upset because we didn't attempt to steal home? Lol

Pretty much equally as difficult as any other trophy

Does it beg the question? I don't think it does. What would you have done differently?

I hope the two worst teams in the league square off to find out who the best team in the league is

You seem to just agree with the prevailing consensus opinion, no matter what.

That is a great spinzone

Pretty sure Charlie's flown past that

Do you have a singular opinion of your own?

Can you stop freaking out about people freaking out?

I love how stupidly honest he is

Agreed. He should be playing DH, what is Charles thinking?

#WeAreBlueJays Thanks for letting us know Also, Tellez really needs to be taken away from Buntoyo.

I don't. I barely do anything twitter related. I also thought I was pretty clear on who I was talking about.

I apologize for being 100% correct. I know that is not encouraged and I will do my best to try to get my head back up my own ass where it belongs.

Why would he make an apology? Do you think anyone was actually offended? I don't. The woke whites just found another target, that's it. They are fueled by faux outrage. It's not like you saw large Jewish groups come out and denounce this horrid act. The ironic part is that these same people kinda treat Jews like s*** too.

I can't wait until Vox finally goes out of business Also, the A's should not even have dignified that nonsense with a response.

We had Bautista, who went through god knows how many teams before being a mainstay here. We had Encarnacion, who was claimed and then DFA'd by the A's, who developed guys like Olson, Chapman and turned Marcus Semien's career around (Marcus Semien from the White Sox, who sucked while he played with them, since they are also being praised here). If I were Atkins, I'd be cleaning house right now. Pete Walker sucks, Guillermo Martinez seems to suck, Windmill Rivera sucks (at waving in runners, maybe he can be bench coach) and Montoyo sucks massive dongs. The only coach I actively like is Tim Leiper because he actually stands up for the players, and it always looks like he's ready to throw down with someone. My remedy: Hire Gibby Hire Ray Searage Make Dante the third base coach Hire Barry Bonds as hitting coach (who Christian Yelich credits with turning into a superstar at the plate) Maybe it won't make a difference, I don't know, but the coaches on this team all seem stupid and they aren't even funny in the post game stuff. Like, to improve his hitting, Danny Jansen went to f***ing Ryan Borucki's dad. That should be all you need to know.

I feel like the difference between Panik and Hernandez in a platoon is so small that, in the best case scenario, the increase in team WAR would be negligible at the cost of finding out over a longer period of Hernandez is actually for real. And I've been very outspoken about Hernandez being a bench player, so it's not like he's my Alejandro Kirk or Jake Marisnick. I desperately want to be proven wrong. Things that need to happen, immediately, imo: Get rid of Tellez Get rid of Alford I don't really want to get rid of Panik but he is so egregiously being misused that it's hard to make me want him to stay but whatever, idk. Either sign a DH/1B or bring up Kirk to see what he's got, I don't see the harm. Catchers don't play every day so service time wouldn't be an issue in the long run. Or, just sign Puig. Tellez sucks. He is completely reliant on his bat to be even an average player, and that would probably need to be a 125 wRC+ minimum, but probably more and he's not going to sniff that. Fisher fills Alford's role and seems like the better bet going forward. The guy just sucks. It's unfortunate, but he can't even hit cookies down the middle. I think using the season to develop vs. trying to compete with the current roster will not yield dissimilar results in the long run.

Don't bring up positives please. Then we'd need to talk about Biggio, Bichette, Hernandez, and then our hyped minor league guys landing on many top 100s like Groshans (who was a "reach") Kirk (who should be on every top 50 list), Moreno (who looks very promising). Like you said, at the very minimum Danny Jansen is going to be basically David Ross, though maybe slightly worse offensively. E: sorry to clarify, Bichette was what, a third rounder? Biggio was a nothing pick, and we got Hernandez for basically nothing.
