    Vlad got rekt so that make sense Ernie is a mess mentally so a day off makes sense George is 52 years old They have a 15% chance to win today so it's a decent day to rest them up
  2. Laika
    Probably need 6+ runs to win today Probably not going to be able to work Schlitter for walks Just need to try and jump his fastballs... You either get lucky and the hits fall in and you tack on runs and rattle him, or you don't and he throws a complete game No other game plan makes sense though

    Thank you for your sacrifice, Vlad

    Ideal career for Ricky T is probably just being on the MLB IL for the next seven years with sporadic bullpen stints

    It's such a Yankees broadcast Clement gets a hit and the comments are "well the turf is so fast here but look at the range of Lombard"
  6. Laika
    Rogers has been somewhat uncomfortable at times this year with the walks and hits but we should expect him to be even better going forward I think
  7. Laika
    Love to see Gerrit Cole so angry
  8. Laika
    Looks like McAdoo at first now

    Great swing by Kirk. No idea what Garcia Jr was thinking with that throw. Maybe the knock to the head will fix Vlad? Can't make him worse
  10. Laika
    Agree They don't need to add much of substance to the 2027 rotation but having Bieber as a cheap SP5 would be awesome
  11. Laika
    Broadcast doesn't even mention Toronto when talking about the wild card standings lmao
  12. Laika
    Yes
  13. Laika
    DO IT

    It makes sense. Very hard to be good at everything but much more feasible to be really good at a few things. Also, hard to outcompete a more generic niche like "elite 4 seam fastball traits" I mean most of the league probably chases that. It helps to have a niche that is NICHE. On the hitting side it seems like Toronto thinks they can add power. They target all these contact bats and undersized dudes and try to coach the pop up a bit. Very Cleveland.

    Pablo Guerrero is Vlad's younger brother, 20 year old in A ball with Texas. Power only prospect finally mashing. https://www.fangraphs.com/players/pablo-guerrero/sa3021249/stats/batting What do you think the odds are that he is a better MLB hitter than his older brother within the next five years? At 20 years old, he could realistically continue to mash and debut in 2028 or 2029. He has a non-zero chance of having a better MLB career than his older brother, hilariously.

    The regular season is virtually meaningless and it is why we see so many bubble teams cheap out, and teams like the Dodgers barely use Glasnow and Snell in the regular season, etc. etc.

    EVERY "tough" game remaining for Toronto happens in the next 10 days. NYY x6 and TBR x3 If they can get through that within 3 games, the playoff will be easy to make. Every other series remaining is either easy or even money against a WC3 opponent that Toronto should be able to best. Three game sets against: KCR, SEA, CLE, KCR, ATH, BAL, DET, TEX, BAL, CIN

    Cease, Soriano, Yesavage, Ponce, Miles, Spaghetti (options), Berrios, Bloss (am told he will get a 4th option), Bowden (will he get an option?), King, Stanifer --> ROTATION IS MOSTLY FINE, JUST NEEDS DEPTH PIECES Varland, Rogers, Fluharty, Fisher --> BULLPEN NEEDS WORK IN OFFSEASON, TIME FOR RICKY T TO JUST RELIEVE I THINK. THIS SUCKS TO BE HONEST. Oka 3B, Gime SS, Clem 2B, Vlad 1B, Kirk C, Bateman CF, Lukes LF, Barger RF, Santa DH BN - Val, Smith, McAdoo, Keys THIS TEAM WILL SCORE NO RUNS. OFFENSE NEEDED - RHB PREFERABLE - OF THE OBVIOUS HOLE Maybe it does make sense to just spend on Randy or Suzuki...
  19. Laika
    This free agent crop is setting up to be a disaster for whoever plays around, for bats The Jays would risk another Santander situation Jazz, Randy, B Lowe, Arraez, Happ, Grisham, Suzuki, Torres, Varsho, Ward, Springer... I don't want ANY PART of that list other than short term commitments. If someone like Taylor Ward signs a pillow contract I am all over it but otherwise it's Lane Thomas and trade explorations, for me. Rando Arozarena is obviously good and desirable but in this climate he is probably getting paid huge.
  20. Laika
    Gimenez slander will not be tolerated. Dude is providing gold glove, elite elite defense so he doesn't have to hit
  21. Laika
    Game over.
  22. Laika
    Is Brandon Valenzuela throwing this game? Holy s*** what a disaster for him this inning Horrendous challenge and then boxes out two strikes and fails to challenge a strike three
  23. Laika
    Dub Gleed is kind of nuking AA right now lmao Toronto has UNLOCKED his power
  24. Laika
    I guess it's both If you identify someone with mechanical flaws in college that you can fix immediately, is that drafting or development? Both I guess
  25. Laika
    Early opinions from me are not great as far as the offense goes. Contact ability so far looks good but not elite. This probably isn't a Kwan, or even an Ernie Clement etc. contact profile. The AAA walks look like they came from being passive. That won't translate strongly. Demonstrated power is very low. He might be closer to a .245 hitter, with just an average walk rate, and almost no power BTS mentioned it before but I think the absolute best thing you can hope for is Jacob Young, in other words the defense and baserunning NEED to be elite for him to be a starter otherwise it's a platoon piece
