    Varsho is fun to watch when he’s not striking out 50% of the time
  2. Stangstag
    I think they just completely soured on Teo for whatever reason. They didn’t really want him back so they didn’t make a competitive offer.
  3. Stangstag
    I think we should have offered him Soler money. Not sure he would’ve accepted. Also jot sure why the Jays weren’t willing to go more than 1 year.
  4. Stangstag
    Right, which is why the KK signing was unnecessary and extremely premature
  5. Stangstag
    Not really relevant, we could have had both this season. The trade was a net win for 2023 and beyond.
  6. Stangstag
    Yeah always liked Teo. Turns out the entire team has brainfart issues, not just him. He was always a super clutch bat with a great attitude. Definitely wanted him back but lots of guys here told me he’s only 2 WAR player and not worth 20 mil. Anytime I can rub their faces in s*** I will, because certain guys here act so holier than thou all the time. And they’ll never admit to being wrong, as you can see with Spanky.

    Hmmm so the Dodgers front office is smarter than fangraphs?? That’s crazy yo. I thought steamer projections were gospel.
  8. Stangstag
    Great job by Gausman and offense scored more than 3 runs. Good day
  9. Stangstag
    For me im just confused. You hit him 2nd, you’re saying he’s one of the best bats in the lineup. If he’s one of the best bats available then why wasn’t he called up earlier?? Doesn’t make any sense. Panic moves galore the last few weeks.
  10. Stangstag
    The guy we just called up from AAA is hitting 2nd in the lineup ROFL. Sometimes it seems like this front office is clueless
  11. Stangstag
    Yeah I think they’re finally starting to realize defense only works if you can actually SCORE. They gravely overestimated the capabilities of this lineup for the 2nd year in a row.
  12. Stangstag
    Of course you don’t, you’re dumb
  13. Stangstag
    Incompetence
  14. Stangstag
    Seems like they’re planning to use Horwitz at 2B a fair amount
  15. Stangstag
    Well that was a fun one. Our bullpen f***ing stinks this year
  16. Stangstag
    I don’t see anyway to argue Biggio deserves a spot on the roster over Vogelbach. We have backups for all the IF positions already, Biggio is redundant. If the FO needs someone to bat 9th and watch strike 3 every at bat, i’ll do it for $1000 a game
  17. Stangstag
    I really hate the inconsistencies with this FO. Won't play Horwitz in the OF because I guess he doesn't look good there??? But more than happy to promote Barger and have him play LF which he's never played before.
  18. Stangstag
    Why are you so weird

    The 2024 Blue Jays experience
  20. Stangstag
    Gladly take a split with the Os, but this team doesn’t inspire any confidence. Got absolutely blasted the first 2 games, and barely managed to squeak out these 2 wins. A win is a win at the EoD, but its hard to feel confident we could win against good teams when it matters.
  21. Stangstag
    For Vlad, it feels to me like he has no approach. There’s too many times where he takes a straight fastball down the middle for strike 1. Or he’ll swing on a first pitch breaking ball way out of the zone and then watch a straight fastball down the middle the very next pitch. Other times he’ll roll over weakly on breaking ball down the middle. He’s just all over the place. I think he just kinda swings at anything and sometimes makes good contact like we saw today.
  22. Stangstag
    And I do think its important to not just look at pull/oppo/centre rates as a whole, but to look at splits between flyballs/liners/grounders too
  23. Stangstag
    Specifically on Chapman, his pull rate on flyballs was WAY down in 2023. Just check out these numbers: https://imgur.com/a/RYlcSaH https://www.fangraphs.com/players/matt-chapman/16505/splits?season=0&position=3B&split=3.2 Pull rate is abysmal, and the Centre rate of 45% easily explains why he missed out on a s*** ton of homers. If we continue to look at flyball rates, Springer's page is similar... though his is weird in that he seemed to go oppo more in his younger years, then when he came to the Jays he had a very high pull rate between 2021-2022 before going back to his early career splits. Vlad is a hard one to figure out, but his centre% was closer to the 40% he was sporting in 2019-2020 vs his good years in 2021-2022. Anyways you could do a full analysis and dive much deeper into this, I just find it extremely difficult to pass off as a coincidence that most of our guys started pulling the ball less all at the same time.
  24. Stangstag
    Was he talking about his ex wife or something??
  25. Stangstag
    That is true, but you can't really deny that MOST of the hitters changed their approach in 2023, including Matt Chapman. He used to be a dead pull guy and started hitting oppo for some reason (which worked for 1 month). 90% of our lineup started going oppo/CF way more often than they ever did before.
