    Their farm system blows right now It might be the end They are kind of like the Blue Jays. Except, with tons of hardware instead of a string of WC losses, and Tucker and Yordan are everything Bo and Vlad could have been.

    At least there are now enough interesting young players to make the team worth watching. It is legitimately exciting to see how Horwitz, Barger, Schneider do on a game to game basis.

    I like that it gives them the f***ing OPTION of benching Springer. You start with a day or two off per week, then take it from there depending on how Barger does. Hopefully he hits two tanks first game and then Springer just becomes a cheerleader.

    Trout not much trade value but still decent value as a rostered player in most leagues Do the math on 81 games of Trout + 81 games of a replacement-level OF In half a season Trout still probably gives you like 18 homers, 50 RBI, 50 Runs, .260 Then his head falls off at the All Star break so you replace him with Gavin Sheets or whoever the f*** is on the wire and that guy gives you .230 with 8 HR, 30 RBI 30 Runs the rest of the way. That still probably adds up to be a top 20 OF or so. It's like Anthony Santander. And it's better than that if you pluck a good guy off the wire. And it can be much better if Trout has a miracle 140 game season. I still think Trout has some more 40 HR seasons in there. He'll be moving around like Ronnie Coleman at the end of his career but baseball is still light work for him.

    Oilers sort of unlucky to be down 3-0. They've looked pretty good at times. Lots of posts. Some ridiculous or lucky saves from Bob.

    I mean this does happen sometimes in business You get actual notice instead of severance pay Or just a "we are not renewing your contract" communication

    Bringing your Ace, your Closer, and one of your setup man back from arm injury setbacks aggressively rather than being cautious and throwing them on the IL for two weeks Closing your eyes to Tim Mayza's velocity and just pretending that he's still a good RP (this is still happening lol)

    JWB's numbers look pretty good now in A. His K rate is nearly the best in the FSL and the ERA, HR rate, WHIP are all under control. Manuel Beltre has a 117 wRC+ repeating Dunedin with good K and BB numbers but the power isn't there, .273 /.353/.395 Victor Arias is the other interesting Duneden hitter, .259/.371/.380, 20 years old Nimmala is back on the field but demoted to the FCL (rookie) and is hitting .182/.438/.364 tons of Ks and walks only a few games Fernando Perez in Dunedin actually has the best K-BB% in the Jays minor league system, minimum 30 IP Trenton Wallace has surprisingly good numbers in AA while starting Some arm in Dunedin named Kai Peterson has a 43% K rate lol. Lots of walks but that was a 20th round JuCo pick from 2023 draft. Does Dasan Brown still have a chance? Yeah he's still in A+ but 130 wRC+ right now hitting .260/.369/.416 and we know the defense/speed should be great

    Mr. Addison Barger, come on dowwwwwwwwwwwn (up)

    Horwitz's plate approach is so solid that it's incredibly annoying that they wasted him in Buffalo for over two months All for a guy who eats ice cream for breakfast and has negative WAR, and a twig who has a fetish for watching strike 3 go by
  11. Laika
    total stud with no tools lmao no speed or power but a great plate approach, he's maybe going to end up like a LaMonte Wade or Lars Nootbaar kind of hitter, maybe Nate Lowe watch Atkins' s***** farm graduate an average or better position player every year from Schneider (2023), Horwitz (2024), and the remaining Buffalo bums
  12. Laika
    No f***ing s*** lmao And I'd rather have a blowjob than a colonoscopy Nobody is saying that Atkins is better than AA Just funny to see AA's team be mediocre and have multiple position players suck this year, just like the Jays, when he is practically deified by some around here who can't get over him leaving Toronto, while those same posters think Atkins is the worst thing since the female Ghostbusters
  13. Laika
    Yeah ofc Gausman would have been a catastrophic blow considering what else has happened with the arms, Manoah dying, Y Rod getting hurt, and all the other depth pitchers being worthless Bo.... I wonder if the Jays would actually be better off right now haha.
  14. Laika
    Bo has 0.4 WAR, he might as well have had a season ending injury in spring training Gausman has an xERA over 5.00 and has been brutal at various times stick a fork in Toronto anyway!
  15. Laika
    lmao they show Craig right after the dink single Mrs. Biggio seems happy that he is a Dodger now
  16. Laika
    Don Mattingly - did not go to College Hunter Mense - did finish College after his playing career and has a degree in "counseling psychology" Matt Hague - sociology studies in College Guillermo Martinez - Kinesiology and Exercise Science in College Don't see any physicists or mathematicians on the crew. They really need to dump two of these guys, Mattingly and whoever else, and replace them with more progressive individuals.

    but but but awex anthwopolus

    just like the dojers turned noah cinderguard and james paxton into stars!

    Are 92mph sinkers good? Asking for a friend

    ZACH POP AND TIMMY MAYZA LADIES AND GENTLEboys

    right I remember that now I think last time Jr. talked about this he said that Sr. told him they treated him differently than Bo because Jr. turned out "too soft and gay"
  22. Laika
    who knows, man maybe it's true, maybe it's embellished. if Dante Bichette was physically fighting "coaches, other coaches, fans, and many umpires" then it wouldn't be a secret, Dante Bichette Jr. was probably on scout radars from little league, his dad's conduct would be well known?
  23. Laika
    better to have his salary taken like this than stash him in AAA they have guys like Barger and Martinez down there already, and Horwitz up here playing 2B don't even need the mediocre depth Biggio would represent
  24. Laika
    His career totals and WAR track record remain decent for the money. He just happens to suck NOW which is kind of all that matters. I will say it for the 100th time, he can't hit anymore. It's so f***ing obvious. And he's past the top of his aging curve so it's probably over. I mean maybe he sticks around as a bench player for a while but he needs to change some things to make that viable because with a swiss cheese swing, no power, and middling defensive utility there is not much to like there. It's a weird profile. He can take a walk and run well, and not embarrass himself at LF/RF/2B/1B/3B so that works but he's also a utility player who can't play CF or SS which is not ideal and teams like pinch hitters with pop.

    Fair to wonder, though, why they thought Turner was The One. 39 years old coming off 1.1 fWAR in 626 PA, kind of disgusting to throw $13M at that Like, racism aside, why was the 36 year old Tommy Pham who can sort of play the outfield and run still and just had a 1.9 fWAR truncated season not preferable, for less money? Only mentioning Pham because jaysblue and I were banging the table for him all offseason. Pham, Pham, Pham, Pham, Pham.
