    Yeah who knows really... i just dont understand how a hitter like Vlad is happy with his results and isnt doing everything under the sun to try and figure out what he was doing differently in the playoffs last year vs now. It's a night and day difference in not just stats, but underlying skill numbers as well.

    I dunno, i dont think the rest of the teams struggles make it harder to stomach Gimenez at all. It makes ot harder to stomach the rest of the team's struggles. I think Gimenez hitting even close to 100 wrc+ is a pipe dream. 80-85 is what theyre going to get. I also think he needs to switch to a lighter bat. I'm not sure how to explain it but visually you can see theres a point where the bat head is just dragging way behind and then when it finally comes forward its almost like he loses control of where its going. Like the bat is swinging him... kinda

    This. Vlad needs to get mad. I saw something on MLB the other day too with Pujols breaking down what he thinks isbwrong woth Clads swimg amd that hes wrapping the bat too far behind his head and consequently the bat head is taking longer to get to the hitting zone. Pujols himself said he used to go through stretches like this and he would look at his stance from the 1b side on video and if he saw the bat head poking out behind his head when he was waggling the bat, he knew he had to adjust his hands. Im probably explaining it poorly but it made sense when they showed the video

    Never said they didn't deserve grief. No offense is going to be good enough to come back on a regular basis when you spot the opposition 1-4 runs before anyone takes a swing.
  5. John_Havok
    Can say what ya want about the offense and Vlads struggles, but the pitching has been an absolute dumspter fire. Cant give up 1st inning runs and bring the offense to the field behind every f***ing game

    One would assume Keys takes the place of Sanchez, and also rotates through DH. Same amount of lefties in that case.
  7. John_Havok
    Definitely. Good thing his own manager will be making the picks too.
  8. John_Havok
    Moon with a good outing, 3.2 IP, 3 hits, 1BB, 1ER and 6 K Arias heating up in AA after a slow April and May, .845 OPS in June Harry and Keys are still on fire in Buffalo Parker and Sanchez on the right track for Dunedin. Perry hitting his first stretch of trouble at Vancouver with 10 ER allowed in his last 3 starts. Still racking up Ks though. King still good. Thompson Jr moved up to AA and doing well (SSS) All in all theres alot to like at pretty much every level.

    Varland doesnt deserve to go?
  10. John_Havok
    Sosa has to be a release when his timer is up unless every other IF option is dead or dying of Ebola
  11. John_Havok
    Thompson Jr with 5 more shutout innings in New Hampshire in his second start there. 1 hit and 2 BB allowed against 4 K. Brings him up to 9 shutout innings over his first 2 starts. Only 1 hit allowed. That doesnt suck

    Cheers mate! Hope you get to see one of very rare Jays wins at the Trop when you are in attendance
  13. John_Havok
    They need another one other than Clement?
  14. John_Havok
    I mean, he's probably a nothing burger long term,but how many catchers does the complex team even need? Besides, he doesnt even have to change anything other than when to show up at the park.
  15. John_Havok
    If he hit ball in the exact same gap with the bases empty in the top of the first he would definitely not have tried for third. To me, that rule is the exact reason it should have been scired a double. So, the fact that he was only doing it trying for the cycle shouldn't be a factor.
  16. John_Havok
    Looking at some older video of Toman shows he has changed his stance a bit this season.prebuosuky he was standing very upright in the box whereas now he's leaning in and a bit more compact. The HRs he's been hitting lately aren't wallscrapers either, they've been big boy HRs waaay out of the park
  17. John_Havok
    Hell, you could hit 5 singles in a row and not score. Single, single to RF with lead runner thrown out at 3rd and batter still at 1b, single to RF with lead runner thrown out at third again and batter stays at 1b, single, single. Bases loaded, 2 outs, 5 singles in a row, no runs. Vlad pops out to 3rd. That would be the single most 2026 Blue Jay inning i can imagine
  18. John_Havok
    But all calls get reviewed after the fact by MLB as well amd may be changed. things get changed from hits to errors, errors to hits or triples to doubles + error just as a few examples. I doubt theyd change the scoring on that play since it resulted in a cycle, but... yeah it was clearly a double with advancing to 3rd on the throw. It was the left centre gap, Harper probably couldnt leg out a legit triple in the right centre gap unless it took a bad hop off the wall.
  19. John_Havok
    Yeah, would be nice to see where rhe stuff is sitting. Probably give him a good 7-10 outings before even trying to judge though
  20. John_Havok
    Tiedemann has survived another appearance. WS will be easy to make now
  21. John_Havok
    Not super interesting yet but the 22 year old Italian catcher they signed this year has 6 HR in his first 50 PA at the complex. He should probably be bumped up a level.
  22. John_Havok
    Came here to say almast exactly this, but i'd have used far more insults and expletives Every team in baseball gets nuked like 10-15 times every year. Easiest games in the world to just get over and move past.
  23. John_Havok
    4-5 with 2 doubles. HR and a single. Swinging a hot bat for sure
  24. John_Havok
    Yes, but his size still increases injury risk over and above the usual catcher injury risk. So far we havent seen that extra risk turn into anything, but it's still there
