    Depends. Im sure some quotes could be found from some that might be interpreted as WS threats. They have been annointed one of the great organizations in baseball by some.

    They're hitting a bit of a speedbump right now. Since the Jays series they're 6-10 with a -30 run differential. On the season their run differential is worse than the Jays now and only 4 runs better than Boston. Regression has come. The parade is currently on hold.

    Lol, this line from Romano is ridiculous. 13 pitches. 2 4-seamers. 11sliders, 9 swings at the sliders…8 of them whiffs.

    Utter filth from Romano. Untouchable tonight

    He's absolutely on par or better than Pillar prime. He's a tier below KK

    I know Ive fallen for some of these parody accounts in the past, but this one was way too obvious LOL

    Running game is more controlled by the pitchers anyways. I wonder how front offices measure game calling abilities. I think for the Jays it feels like Jansen calls a better game, but i would have no idea how that is is quantified.

    The problem with Espinal getting in was that he still wasnt very good and didn't deserve to be there, not that he actually had a big first half. He had a big first month, then went MIA, then a big June. And big .... i mean big for him. His slash line when he was selected as a replacement was .271/.322/.394 with 6 HRs. Wow, what an amazing performance worthy of celebration as one of the stars of the season. I would absolutely rather see a guy who legit had a great 1st half out of nowhere in the all star game over a veteran who's just getting in because of a season he had 3 years ago, and just been kind of above average since.
  13. John_Havok
    Yup, this is why I don't take it seriously, because obviously MLB doesn't.
  14. John_Havok
    yup, though that makes a catcher's arm and pop times even more important, as does a pitcher's delivery motion when it comes to trying to stop the running game. Once robo umps start being a thing, and it is 100% coming, framing goes away and everything about catcher's defense will become about all the unmeasuables and their arms. If anything right now, the Jays and other ors should be drilling every single one of their pitchers to minimize their delivery times with runners on base, and making pop times and throwing the centre of everything as a catcher. Pitching deliveries probably being even more important.

    Dont let his LF numbers fool you, he's elite in CF. Its just that Kiermaier is beyond elite to the point of ridiculous.
  16. John_Havok
    Yeah, its really hard to say whos even available when it comes to bench bats and relivers that fall into "controllable" territory. Its way easier to identity the soon to be FAs as potential targets. I still like Bednar as a target with 3 years left of control after this season. Problem, is Pittsburgh might actually think they have a shot in the next 3 seasons given the dumpster fire of a division and he might not be available. Same with guys like Classe in Cleveland, or any higher end reliever on any central division team.
  17. John_Havok
    Sure. But ya cant do it with everyone, nor do you have any idea if they tried to and there were no takers. So whining about a non move is stupid when you have 0 clue of anything behind the scenes. Stuff like this is just hindsight "they should have forseen everything that could possibly go wrong and make sure they took steps to prevent that at some arbitraty point in the past that would assuredly make things better for today"
  18. John_Havok
    Who, and what are you giving up to get him? Are you thinking a guy like Cease, Giolito? Jays need starter depth, 2 Pen arms (IMO) and a solid bench bat.
  19. John_Havok
    Yeah, I like seeing the Ks but Manoah shouldn’t be walking 3 guys in 5 innings at AA. Higher strikeouts can be predicted by just being more free swingers in AA than the majors. Command is still likely an issue.
  20. John_Havok
    So far 4 IP, 2 hits, 1 ER, 2 walks and 8 Ks.
  21. John_Havok
    Could be worse, we could be sitting on the last half season of Shohei Ohtani and will be either A) trading him in the middle of their first real chance at a wildcard spot in years…or getting a comp pick when he walks at the end of the season.
  22. John_Havok
    On a good run, but can go stone cold in a hurry
