Varsho 5 for his last 34. A little premature spiking of the football by many of you this year

Man, Chapman really stinking it up. I’ve admitted plenty I was wrong on, but I definitely wasn’t on that train

Of course no one is right all the time of even most of the time but if you can’t even scout 1 f***ing good OF prospect out of 10 years and 200+ rounds, maybe that tells you something

I won’t define “you people”, but you’re smart enough to know you “you people” are… and you people are deathly allergic to anything resembling personal responsibility. That’s their f’n job, bro. I woudlve thought Vlad would bounce back. Maybe the projections that don’t know inside info liked him for that too. The team is the one that knows the most. Has he been working at his swing, is it showing improvement, is he buying into changing his approach, etc Manoah was always split 50/50 if he was good or backend SP. Nobody thought he’d be beyond awful but many thought backend arm. I thought middle, but again, I’m not paid for it. Team should know. Springer, again I’m a fan, but I’m not seeing him up close every day. I don’t know if he’s cooked. Neither do you. The team should have an idea. I’ll give you Bo. But really these guys are all human too and you can’t really quantify the effects of the likely s***** team disco check going on, but this is the reason human athletes can go different places and be better. I know if you look at Fangrpahs it’s like they’re robots, and I know for dudes like you that carried and inhaler around since you were 4yo, it’s tough thinking like an athlete, but they’re human and a s***** workplace vibe can effect performance. FO needs to be nuked. At least GM

My huge target was a $1.5m guy. You got me lol. I will take him over IKF all day still. I did not stake anything on the Teo trade hill. It’s not about a single deal. It’s where they decided to take the team 2 years ago when they got bounced from the playoffs. They went into that offseason reacting to their weakness, but the next offseason, just doubled down on the obvious weakness. I think two years ago was highly reactionary. It’s difficult to determine how those playoffs games go with a better OF. I say you can improve your playoff chances by doing this or that, but of course there will always be randomness that can supersede it. And those games the whole wheels just came apart. There were babip balls you couldn’t do anything with, and other balls where you can say maybe this guy could’ve gotten it. But they are maybes for sure. And so you can’t help that ball just getting hit to the wrong spot, at the totally wrong time. But fine, the GM likes their guys and say, I think we can afford to maybe take a little step back in offense next year, but improve our D by a lot and we will be better. Can’t fault the logic. However, last year they were forced to deal with the reality that maybe their guys are not what they thought. Their limp noodle bats where why they whimpered into the playoffs at the bottom and why they got swiftly booted. Knowing of their failure to take this team to to next step, they were faced with which direction to go last year, and they clearly just doubled down. I can’t say I believed Vlad and Springer would still suck, but my job isn’t dependent on it either and I’m not a professional with 50 people under me that are paid to perform with this stuff. So on its own, it’s worthy of a hot seat and would be for most franchises in a similar position in all sports. But you combine the fact that they couldn’t develop any sort of future for the franchise and “help is one the way”, they should be fired now. GM first.

Is that all you got old timer?

It’s not even trolling for many people, can do that other ways. Jays are a f***ing mess, should all be canned and all you cuckold apologists that are like 2 years late to the party should STFU lol

Except I was crying about the s*** all off season while you were sipping on the BJ Lib-aid

The trades individually may not look to too bad, but they play into the clear steer in the wrong direction. They weren’t able to properly evaluate what they had and what needed to happen. As I said, if no 3rd WC, they’re likely gone and thought of as losers

Probably Teo doesn’t come back end if offered, but almost certainly Jays never called. So thats the crime. A lot of the people were belly aching about the team not doing s*** to address how they finished their season in a whimper

Admittedly it wasn’t the proper setup. I made the disclaimer to start. It’s about they reaped what they sowed with the dream of being a TB clone. They’ve always tried to do that s*** and were never smart enough. Never could find or develop the players. Pull Berrios before even TB would. They f***ing suck. Should all be fired

Keeping the basis of objection to your usage of WAR as be all, end all, do you think the Jays could be better right now if the traded for defensive WAR? Could they just keep adding D WAR and then get back to a left title threat? Bc I’m sure they could prob swing some trades for that

Yeah, you’d have to think the manager is the safest guy in the building. I think there would be strong backlash, if not from fans, from the baseball media, if they fired the manager. The optics would be the GM and Pres were looking for a fall guy again for their own failures. I feel they’d essentially seal their own fate going that way.

Oof. Was kind of digging Wilson Contreras as my C in Dynasty. Too many years since I had a decent one. Of course his arm gets shattered.

Your take on my take is dumb. Do you think the NYY just gave up? You don’t think his agent would know if there’s any chance on hell he’d consider NYY, he can call?

That was definitely a shady move, however, it was only the Cali teams in the running at that point and it shouldn’t have gotten that far. NYY and the like all wanted him just as bad and moved on when they understood there was no way he was going there. Toronto FO needed to do the same and didn’t.

No sarcasm for him. Flew over his head.

Take all that hate and direct it at the FO. I’ll guarantee you a million dollars I don’t have, NYY, Bos, and half the league would be willing to sign him at the same term Tor would but someway, somehow, none of their fans came away feeling deceived or cheated.

Playoff teams sign the guys like Green because most of the reason RP is so volatile is bc many of them aren’t genuinely that good. You can’t chance finding that out with the younger ones you’re not sure on, so you pay some guys like Green. Unfortunately for the FO, they bet wrong on what they had for an overall roster.

Probably will work out, based on percentages. What are the chances that two New Green Deals can be terrible? Bada bing …and by that, of I’m referring to the recent Elijah Green deal a couple years ago that has not panned out to say the least. At least Arjun Nimmala wasn’t supposed to be a fringe 1-1 talent. Sorry if there was any confusion there.

Don’t worry, Max. When everyone needs the soothing; “there’s always next year”, I think they’ll know where to go

He’s an easy dude to like. Alpha without being a douchebag about it. Easy to overlook he probably had a little bit more complicity in all that drama.

Benedict Arnold fits you like a glove, mate. You can’t help yourself. We can’t choose our e-friends, we have to accept them. All was fine im trying to talk about some deal I made and along comes “Red Alert Spanky”.. “that’s a violation!! That’s a violation!! Quick everyone look over here!! ….violation!!!.. maybe the teacher will give ME an apple after this. That would be swell for a chick like me. Or one of those star stickers” That’s your kind of goals, my man. It wasn’t the first time you were a little bitch and it won’t be the last. 20 years strong, amigo.

I’d trust a skin collecter over a Benedict Arnold that works to get you kicked out of the your fantasy league after 8 years. Just saying. Skin collector prob more on the up and up

Playoff randomness my friend. Having an Ace up the sleeve is what you want for lady luck. What’s the worst that can happen? You try it, his elbow goes after however long, misses a little time as a hitter and you move on.
