    Short attention spans when you're young. Something like that happens you move on to whats on TV
  2. John_Havok
    Not a fan of Vggelbach and Schneider's two strike approaches, both were late on the fastball. Vogelbach fouled his off and struck out on a back up elevated slider, but Schneider was just late. Stop guessing at what's coming boys.
  3. John_Havok
    Solid single for Kirk.
  4. John_Havok
    Single, walk and 3 run HR day.
  5. John_Havok
    Yeah. And the salary diff is like 600k between IKF and Davis. It's a marginal overall upgrade that impacts the IF defense in a negative way. If there was a way to acquire Davis and move on from Turner at the same time...I would support that but having IKF, Turner and Davis would make no sense.
  6. John_Havok
    Overall ..Davis would maybe result in about half win improvement over IKF, just changing out a defender for a bat. IF defense would be pretty suspect overall with Davis there instead of IKF, Bo...Vlad and whomever they figure plays second. Pitchers better hope they dont throw may ground balls. That's the argument for Davis.
  7. John_Havok
    Pretty much. Bellinger would have been preferable to KK imo, but there was no way Toronto was paying what his asking price was early on so they pivoted early to a guy who they knew wanted to be here.
  8. John_Havok
    2, 3 and 4 hitters today are Kirk, Vogelbach and Schneider. Probably not gonna see many hit and "run" attempts up there. More like hoping for single, walk, Bomb

    It's a month early to be saying "i know it's early"
  10. John_Havok
    The extension he turned down from TO was rumoured (though not confirmed) at a 4 or 5 year extension worth 100 million.
  11. John_Havok
    Hard to say, I doubt these agents get an offer from a team and then just call every other team saying here's what I have in hand...beat it if you want. I know it's easy to point and say "why didn't the Jays sign this guy for that?" The dynamic at this point is probably Chapman picking a team that he wants to play for and getting a s good a deal as he can. To be fair, if he opts out after this season, he took less money than the QO was.
  12. John_Havok
    Opt outs ..it's basically a 1 year deal. Means he was never a real option. Guaranteed he was offered more at some point early on
  13. John_Havok
    I definitely thought the trot was slow. Like...the camera followed the ball off the bat as best it could and even lingered in stands for an eternity and he hadn't hit 2b yet
  14. John_Havok
    Just love Barger's hacks. Murderous intent every time.
  15. John_Havok
    I don’t think I’ve heard a correct pronunciation of any Jays name so far. These Yankee ST casters are very underprepared
  16. John_Havok
    What a s*** PA from everyone after Barger. Nobody ready for middle cut fastballs.
  17. John_Havok
    Barger is a f***ing unit….really hope he learns to make enough contact to make it
  18. John_Havok
    96 inner half and he pulled the s*** out of it. No bat speed issues there… 29/30 parks it’s a HR…Fenway maybe held it?
  19. John_Havok
    My guess says about 75-80ish % of the time. 550-570 PA unless he really struggles with the bat.
  20. John_Havok
    Wasn't very subtle about hinting...he pretty much said it without directly saying it
  21. John_Havok
    Yep. Cooke could be a guy that fills a need of swing and miss, Danner if he's healthy will certainly get another shot. Any of the LHRs in the upper minors could get a look. Troy Watson is a guy who could get there too. On the older side but he doesn't have to be 21 to be an effective reliever. Complete nothing burger from his draft all the way through 2021...k rate of like 4.5. then in 2022 obviously something was adjusted as his K rate spiked as high as 14.1
  22. John_Havok
    I know thats pretty standard in a lot of forums but ... our comments are pretty well moderated for the most part. Casual bickering will always happen and can be cleaned up. It's really the spam threads that get tedious to deal with
  23. John_Havok
    Would it be possible to moderate new accounts for putting up threads rather than posts? Like, a bot signs up to make a new thread, they have to be approve before a thread can be started, but if it's a new account signing up and it's just a comment... that's okay? Seems to me the vast majority of first posts are people and first threads are bots.
  24. John_Havok
    There might be a universe out there that exists where he does, but I don't think it's this one. Early ST setback (not serious) plus a very obvious innings cap from last year to this one...it's doubtful. Unless the Jays want to specifically use him as a 3 inning opener rather than carry a true 5th starter. I'm guessing that's not what they are planning and they'd rather have tiedemann getting the bulk of his innings towards the end of the season if he's up with the club Injury caveats to other pitchers nothwithstanding of course
  25. John_Havok
    Would cause far more problems than it would hope to solve
