    Agreed. There’s been flashes of the good stuff but overall it’s still very 2022 Kikuchi-esque
  2. John_Havok
    I mean maybe you give credit to Kirk for that frame but there’s also the precedent today of this ump being bad at calling strikes.
  3. John_Havok
    I wonder if Manoah should start experimenting with developing a cutter in this upcoming offseason. Feels like a pitch that would benefit him greatly
  4. John_Havok
    Yup. He’ll get his hacks in next time up for sure
  5. John_Havok
    But they’re still useful elsewhere. It’s when the elsewhere become crappy that you really start to worry.
  6. John_Havok
    Feel for Springer there. First pitch painted, then a garbage called strike…snadwhiched between 2 walks.
  7. John_Havok
    Sure. Says the idiot fan. f***ing moron

    It’s not so much the fanbase…but at the same time it is. Look what happened to attendance in 2019 when the jays were in their third year of the rebuild, 3rd straight sub-.500 season after the two playoff years in 2015/16. Avg attendance of 21606. Avg in 2016 was 41880, 2017 was 39554. I don’t have tv or streaming numbers from that season so maybe those tell a better story but I wouldn’t bet on it. Attendance was basically cut in half in just the third year after two playoffs runs. That’s what happens in Toronto. this season is averaging 36828. Rogers can’t let their marketing tool fall into extended obscurity the way others can in order to get top 1-5 draft picks thrown at them along with competitive balance picks year after year after year. The reality is the Jays brass has to make do with their first round picks being in the last half of the every round, scoring in international fee agency, losing their second rounder if they need to grab a free agent and pulling off trades. There’s never going to be a 3-5 year period where they pick in the top 1-5 in 4 of those years

    You can you just have to use the edit button, then advanced.

    Nah, would probably only want to give up arms for arms. Looking at the precedent you might see something like Kloffenstein and Cooke? Probably higher than that. Depends on how they feel about other guys, but don’t get hung up on a # ranking on a prospect list somewhere
  11. John_Havok
    Alex Cobb. He’s a full salad. Kyle Garlick, Jake burger, David Dahl, David Fry(pretty sure he’s French), Jake Lamb, Rene Pinto, Mike trout…none are vegetables, but they could make a decent buffet
  12. John_Havok
    For sure, Ohtani was just the easiest name to associate with significant additional spending.
  13. John_Havok
    See? Just like they drew it up. Easy stuff from Jimi
  14. John_Havok
    Yes please.
  15. John_Havok
    Oh lord …. I can feel peoples heads exploding right now
  16. John_Havok
    Something might be wrong with Romano here, his command is never this bad.
  17. John_Havok
    Romano struggling big time. I hope Schneider has someone warming
  18. John_Havok
    Romanos sliders are not good tonight. Every one of them is a meatball
  19. John_Havok
    Not a huge deal, just curious as to why he wasn’t ready for a fastball in a 2-0 count. I get not every pitcher gives in these days, but ya gotta be ready for it
  20. John_Havok
    Yeah bad call there, but why wasn’t Vlad ready for the 94 4seamer down the middle the pitch before?
  21. John_Havok
    Would be huge if Green can be that guy..but honestly I think they need Green + 1 more. White is gone for sure once Green is ready, maybe they can find a trade that includes Garcia which allows them to get another elite guy…I dunno. Hard to say
  22. John_Havok
    Whit would be fortunate to get 2/20 with a 3rd year option at his age with his limited power imo.
  23. John_Havok
    Mayza having trouble getting his sinker down in the zone recently. Except those last two pitches to Thaiss. Painted!
  24. John_Havok
    I’m not sure we’re giving enough credit to Merrifield on that HR…100 mph up and in…put out to CF. Jesus
  25. John_Havok
    More like a decline and re-sign to multi year thing. That option would be dumb to pick up as is
