  1. That’s… an interesting choice. Could’ve gone with someone like Acuna instead if they wanted a young latino player.
  2. ok then. Jays 2024 definitely a better team than the 2023 Jays.
  3. I was kinda hoping for risky/stupid. Ohtani-mania was the highlight of the offseason unfortunately. The AA period between 2013-2015 was very exciting, even if it hampered the team long-term. Was hoping for some crazy moves since we only get 2 more shots with Bo/Vlad. Maybe the FO has soured on the "core" altogether though, with disappointing years from Vlad, Manoah, Kirk.
  4. What were the the 2023 projections though? I think we're all expecting some rebound from guys like Springer and Vlad, but I would think the 2023 projections were more favorable than the current 2024 projections.
  5. Well they got rid of Belt so that's something.
  6. IMO the moves they made this offseason are more "high floor, low ceiling" type moves. No real risk but also no real gain anywhere. The roster is solid, but nothing extraordinary. Definitely will compete for a playoff spot but they won't be a favoured team if they get in.
  7. My heart says no, but my brain says yes they're likely done.
  8. From what i've watched, he seems like a very good situational hitter. A guy that can drive the ball to all fields, slap an oppo single when needed, all that stuff. i like the signing, just wish we were still adding someone like Bellinger/Chapman too. I'm still not entirely thrilled about the way the everyday lineup is looking. 1. Springer 2. Bo 3. Vlad 4. Turner 5. Kirk 6. Varsho 7. Schneider 8. IKF 9. Keirmaier Still missing power, not a great L/R balance, and the bottom 3rd of the lineup could be a major problem.
  9. I could see Turner starting at 3B every other day, then IKF replacing him by the 6th/7th depending on score
  10. Would’ve preferred Joc at this cost but whatever…
  11. Yeah doesn’t really make any sense.
  12. Racism wins yet again
  13. Just frustrating that they did literally nothing to supplement the offense at the deadline. It was clearly an issue. The Hicks trade was great but they just didn’t go that extra mile to get a bat which could’ve (would’ve) made a world of difference.
  14. I don’t like the way this team is constructed right now. Whatever DH they sign basically replaces Belt, plus we lost Chapman. Really feel like we need 2 more bats. Seems like every year the front office and fans know exactly what the glaring hole of the roster is going into the season and it has come back to bite us. If they wanna wait until the deadline before assessing the weaknesses, fine. But they NEED to address those problems if they’re waiting til the deadline. Adding a bat or 2 at the deadline last season would’ve made all the difference IMO. And in 2022, they should’ve added a solid RP.
  15. The difference of the juiced ball era vs current era. Dudes like Matt Chapman are perennial MVP candidates in the former era.
  16. Ah right true. The other one he was using was #manoahdriven. Lame as hell.
  17. No. Lots of people do deadlifts without shoes. It’s supposed to be better for balance
  18. Dude has the cringiest hashtags #Manoahmadedisaster
  19. There’s no unfortunately driving drunk, you make that choice.
  20. You’re mistaken. He specifically mentioned being able to “make her into the woman he wants her to be”. So he was definitely looking for someone underage and controllable/groomable
  21. Houston may very well use Hader as their Andrew Miller. Comes in to any tough situations, but mainly kept as a setup man with Pressly the main 9th inning guy.
  22. Buy high + sell low in the same trade. Not great recipe for success
