    Most of their rotation is complete death to RHB Maybe Barger and Horwitz will give the Jays a lift against these SP like Houck. But I would not expect the RHB to do much of anything. Springer shouldn't even get a start against Boston tbh, might as well just have KK in their for D every game.

    And sell Caballero? He's like, their new franchise player bro. Ray forever.

    Their script for 2024 was always going to be: Step 1 - survive Step 2 - thrive once DeGrom, Scherzer, Mahle return They are falling behind a bit too much on the Step 1 because of the Jung injury, not getting as much as expected from Carter and Langford, some other injuries and underperformances (Seager, Adolis). Second half sleeping giant though. Houston, not so much IMO because they just don't have the arms or the farm that they used to have. Not really much cavalry in sight for them.

    The Dodgers don't exactly have MLB pitching depth to deal from given all of their injuries right now. But they do have some edge of the roster position player depth: Gavin Lux, James Outman, Miguel Vargas. I guess you could also include Andy Pages in this group since he is unproven, but he is hitting well for them so much harder to get him. And I would assume that they have some minor league arms worth acquiring, that they would be willing to give up. Guys like Landon Knack or Justin Wrobleski. A Bo Bichette trade to LAD seems like a foregone conclusion. Get him out of here! They needed him BEFORE Mookie broke his hand. There are literally no other starting SS on the potential trade market. It's Bo or No(body).

    1.5 games back of Boston now 6 of the next 9 games vs Boston HUGE games pass Boston and Toronto has the pole position of all the WC3 wannabes. one series left against the Twins (WC3) as well unfortunately no games left against KCR (WC2) to make up ground directly I think the Buffalo boys are going to do this. Get ready for a non-stop summer of: - Spencer Horwitz dink singles - Davis Schneider dingers and inexplicable days off - Ernie Clement dice roll balls in play and tomahawk chops at pitches at his eyeballs - Addison Barger absolute chaos 110 mph grounders and 110 mph throws Trade Bo Bichette to the Dodgers to fuel this run. Get win-now pieces.

    Personally I think a lineup with Horwitz, Schneider, Clement, and Barger is very fun and good TV potentially
  7. Laika
    That's a one month split. Fundamentally useless information on its own. Only thing that could justify him getting these days off would be a minor injury
  8. Laika
    They CANNOT keep Mayza around anymore No s*** guys can dump his FB into the OF at will, it's 92mph slop
  9. Laika
    Yeah I think he's mistaken free!
  10. Laika
    Didn't even cross my mind that Horwitz would somehow take playing time from Schneider What a complete f***ing joke this organization has been Disarray. No idea what they are doing at any turn.
  11. Laika
    Another dusty SP just completely dominates the Blue Jays Fastballs at 92 mph on the inner third are just too insane for these guys to hit I guess!!!
  12. Laika
    He could be a really good player if he can settle in on defense
  13. Laika
    Logan Allen more walks than Ks and mediocre stuff and the Jays are just hopeless
  14. Laika
    Vlad PA perfect example of why this team is worse than the sum of its parts The first two guys saw like 3 pitches total. You have to take a few and work a longer PA there...
  15. Laika
    Pride night is normally when Bo starts to get hot
  16. Laika
    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.
  17. Laika
    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.
  18. Laika
    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
  22. Laika
    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)
  25. Laika
    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
