    Intelligence and smarts are not the same thing Intelligence is knowing what youre saying might be exactly what you feel but know its going to make you look like a twat. Smarts... would be deciding not to say it.

    I think he means timing is bad as in its happening at the end of a down season for Vlad and a horrible season for the Jays vs expectations. Had he said these things while hitting 40 HRs, and the Jays were easily in the playoffs...people likely wouldn't care as much. Just a guess though. I don't he means timing as exclusively the Month and day he said it. If he'd just finished a 40 HR season, Jays in the playoffs, hes in the mvp convo.... people would look at his comments and say "who cares, just keep hitting 40 HRs"

    I wouldnt boo. Thats a reaction that gives attention. I'd go stone cold silent anytime he came up and hope the other 30k+ did too. Show him hes not even worth booing. But if I was Atkins, i'd be putting him on the IL with whatever would pass the sniff test and tell him not to even show up at the park

    And its gonna a very fine highwire they try to walk when they do. It has to be strong enough to show theyre pissed, but be short of a public ass-reaming, even though everyone knows Vlad deserves one.

    I dont see how anyone would want to be his teammate now. Everything he said is a giant "f*** you" to guys like Lukes, Clement, Ponce, Cellucci....anyone who's had to grind their asses off for years in the minors or go overseas to reinvent themselves just to get a shot at being on an MLB roster. This dipshit is telling people his 500mil contract was a reward for 1 incredible season, 1 good one and 3 average ones? If i was Springer or Scherzer ... I'd have already torn a strip off him in front of the entire locker room telling him what an entitled moron he is.

    I mean... having that opinion about being paid for what hes done, not what he will do is one level of stupid, its another level entirely to then say it out loud when the mic is on. Tone deaf doesn't even begin to describe this level of delusion

    Until the math says otherwise, gotta put your best foot forward. If they think Max is the best chance for a win today he goes. Anything else is disrespecful to the game and the other teams in the chase. Ask Max if he'd rather start a game that still could mean something to the teams playoff hopes (however slim) or ... not, just to pitch at home where it only might matter. Pretty sure I know what his answer would be.
  8. John_Havok
    That would be really cool. And ya just know Max is gonna come back just to pass him on the K list before he hangs 'em up too. Only 19 behind

    4 Vancouver Canadians selected to the NWL All Stars for 2026.

    Managing this pitching staff over the next 6 games and get positive results is going to be next to impossible.

    The Berrios and Francis situations are exactly what I said, conservative treatment first. There's a standard with which these things are dealt with. You do the imaging, you get the report interpreted by the experts and you do what they recommend first. Full tears of ligaments or detached muscles... yeah, you go to surgery because there's nothing conservative treatment can do in those scenarios. If there's no tear, or it's just a partial tear, conservative treatment is usually the go-to, in the form of platelet rich plasma injections and PT, and it works a decent amount of time. Of course there's gray area. In the absence of full tears where the treatment/surgery course is obvious, there is nothing BUT gray area.

    Just bustin your chops ya bike 😅

    Can't do a non-tender when a club option with buyout is already agreed to in his contract. Two different situations.
  15. John_Havok
    No surgeon worth his credentials would ever cut someone open without a reason, or before conservative treatment has been tried and failed. That's just wholely unethical and immoral given the risk of death(however small) from even the most routine surgeries
  16. John_Havok
    Postseason would be a troublesome exercise in the way you suggest given the inherent small sample size error bars
  17. John_Havok
    Lots of that though is what you said, the Dodgers are one of the most heavily bet teams out there. Same with the Cubs at home... The Yankees... its actually because they're bet on so heavily that anything even looks suspect, but at the same time, them being bet on heavily isn't out of the norm at all so it's not really suspect. If the Marlins suddenly had the same betting volume as the Dodgers... THAT would be suspect.
  18. John_Havok
    yep. This one, plus 6 more = 7 friendo
  19. John_Havok
    I guess. But then the question has to be asked as to why they didn't IL him to let him heal if they knew he had a problem that was killing his ability to perform.
  20. John_Havok
    Unless there's 7 of them in one screen in a week, we'll see him sometime ion 2027
  21. John_Havok
    Shift the blame to management incompetence I guess?
  22. John_Havok
    Why is Varland suddenly throwing sinkers...must just be mis-classifying the 4 seamer
  23. John_Havok
    Hasn't pitched since Wednesday. Cant let him get too rusty And if it takes him 30 pitches to get through 1 inning, that's on Varland.
  24. John_Havok
    5 run game in the 9th, id probably have let Keys stay in and face the lefty and just give George the full day off.
  25. John_Havok
    It would make sense, the lack of rotation in his core could be 100% due to a back tightness issue. When the core can't rotate, hitters are forced to speed up the arms and that's a timing disaster. The obvious next question is ... then why didn't they IL him and let him get healthy instead of running him out there every day at ... 70-75%?
