  1. DBacks have a gigantic pitching disadvantage after Gallen and Kelly. Pfaadt is a who f***ing knows and their bullpen is sad. I guess they don't need a 4th SP this series though so Kelly would get a game 4.
  2. Future Blue Jay JD Martinez looking the part
  3. Dude just pay for sex, lmao
  4. That's basically the 2023 problem in a nutshell. I know other things went wrong and several players didn't hit well but if Vlad was a star it's a completely different team.
  5. The pessimists within like 26 different fanbases get to say "I told you so" at this time of year It's generally not helpful to pretend that these people have special baseball knowledge or worthwhile opinions about roster construction. I mean sometimes they have a point but by the end of the year almost every team is a loser so you aren't special or smart just because you pointed out the Jays flaws all year long.
  6. I don't think it was celebrated by everybody Some people hated it Some people were surprised at the details but saw the justification
  7. Get some therapy
  8. The funny thing about these personal attacks is that I basically have the life you wish you did. Complete, fully functional family with a loving wife.
  9. This is a funny thing in all sports Sometimes the queue isn't actually what the optimal players end up doing even if they think it is
  10. The Orioles demoted Bryan Baker halfway through the year. Kept him in the minors for months where he was mediocre. Inexplicably put him on the playoff roster. Use him. He gives up three earned runs and they lose the game by three runs. Lmao
  11. He was never fat though I think he just gained weight while recovering from surgery and had to change his diet to cut back down
  12. I don't remember Seager being fluffy Bo Bichette was kinda fat as a teenager haha
  13. Yeah He probably thought his size was an asset before 2023. Like the traditional fat pitcher. Of course we've also seen players work hard and get in shape then lose it over future seasons. Like Vlad!
  14. I get it But the trade definitely looks worse in hindsight because at the time Kirk looked a lot better. Kirk's combination of hitting skills (elite elite contact with decent power) with plus framing and blocking just looked so so good. He looks worse now because the power cratered. Like, if Kirk still looked like a sneaky star the trade does not feel as rough.
  15. I don't think the DBacks liked Kirk From the actual trade you can assume the DBacks were offering Thomas for MORENO and Toronto had to add a kicker to get Varsho
  16. Everybody could be fit healthy and happy with a great six figure job if they buckled down and worked hard Most people are fine being fat and tired and making $50k as an HVAC tech or whatever These "problems" are basically universal
  17. Vlad is performing at his 1st percentile possibilities in basically every way Mans could have been an 8 win 3B who slowly became a 1B then DH over an 18 year career Instead he's a 1 WAR DH already
  18. Bailey Ober and Ranger Suarez both pulled around 50 pitches today. The Berrios thing really is not that unique in the context of modern playoff baseball
  19. Atkins also said during the presser that the strategy probably worked if you look at the whole game. Limited them to two runs. I dunno if this is quite the bus throwing they everybody is saying it is
  20. I'm not 100% sure that everything has been decided I don't think Shapiro is a snap decision maker. And anything coming from Rogers down would be slow - corporate process
  21. I'd be thrilled with a 1.5 WAR season from Manoah at this point
  22. Yeah it's difficult to see it any other way anymore
  23. Minor league titles How many ppl have LoD plus DDL trophies?
  24. He has basically no value
