  1. Swanson has a nice dark patch on the front of his hat, countdown to the sticky stuff accusations….
  2. Here to say, depends what a team gets out of the extra roster spot. Suffice to say it’s really really really valuable to have a guy who pitches like a 1-2 and hits 40-50% above league average as a hitter at the same time.
  3. Belt's Pa was fine, he doesnt want to swing at the high s***... and missed a great pitcher's pitch strike 3. Vlad's PA was typically brutal, swinging at a slider in the other batters box because he was guessing. Chappy... missed the one pitch he got to hit and swung though a nice sinker. Vlad's was only garbage PA, Belt and Chapman just got beat with good pitches.
  4. Bo and Merrifield primed for a big game
  5. It's too bad the Angels are in the WC race, the trade rumours on Ohtani this year would be incredible. Lets just assume for 1 moment that he's on the block.... what would any team have to give up to get him?? Like, just hand over your top 3 prospects and at least ... 1 ML regular that's above average?
  6. where the f*** is pendleton with the GDT...
  7. Will be interesting to say the least. Just wondering how he's going to frame this without throwing his entire team under the bus.
  8. Just checked his draft weight... 6'7' 250 pounds. Though he really didnt start declining until age 32. All the years from 2001-2012 were pretty outstanding, even as he gained weight. At that point he was listed at 300 and then had the knee surgery in 2013. But didn't even truly suck until after that. So, while he didnt get worse while gaining the weight, there's probably some sound logic to the fact that had he not been so heavy, his knee would have held up better, maybe not requiring surgery. Also, depsite losing a bunch of weight after the surgery to try and aid in recovery and put less pressure on that knee, he was still just a really big dude. So he didnt really get worse from the weight gain, until his knee gave out.
  9. True, but Bartolo could probably still pitch today and he's like 50 years old, weighs 300+ and isnt even 6 feet tall. I think the general rule that being in shape is probably better than not being in shape(duh.. ), but at the same time we shouldn't just jump to the conclusion that all of his problems are 100% related to the weight.
  10. WTF is this... connorp being the voice of reason?
  11. Not even sure how a number could be arrived at accurately, but .. sure doesnt look very promising based on this one legit shelling that's for sure.
  12. If nothing else, this. athletes all have to a bit on the confident side or theyd never get to the level they get to, but yeah, right now he can't walk the walk
  13. June 27 Bichette - 1 Point Vladdy 1 Point Varsho - 2 Points Springer - 2 Points - JaysAllMighty Belt - 3 Points - Dylan, John_Havok Chapman - 3 Points - Omar Jansen - 3 Points - Spanky Biggio - 5 Points - wilko, WryNGinger Merrifield - 6 Points Off the bench: 10 Points
  14. Please point to the place where I called you retarded. I called you intellectually lazy, not edgy, uncool, and suggested you might be a hypocrite douchebag, but nowhere did I call you retarded. If you can't even keep a basic understanding of how you're being insulted, I'm sure I'd lose you with further discourse
  15. June 27 Bichette - 1 Point Vladdy 1 Point Varsho - 2 Points Springer - 2 Points - JaysAllMighty Belt - 3 Points - Dylan, John_Havok Chapman - 3 Points Jansen - 3 Points Biggio - 5 Points - wilko Merrifield - 6 Points Off the bench: 10 Points
  16. Yeah he was a bit late to the party.
  17. Yup, winded after the first pitch of every game. Makes complete sense. Not a single flaw in that theory. Rock solid.
  18. Great. so that must be THE one and only problem. Can't be anything else, just the one visible flaw that it's easy to poke fun about. Im not claiming to be an expert either, I'm just saying you're intellectually lazy and nowhere near as edgy and cool as you think you are, and if you were in a room with Manoah you wouldnt say stit to his face about it either, so youre also probably a hypocrit douchebag with no spine. Psychologically spekaing of course.
  19. I love watching the unnecessary piling on from all the "experts" .. i mean, if only anyone from the Jays just surfed this forum for a few minutes a day, they'd have all the Jays problems solved in seconds.
  20. Well it makes sense, bigger guys can hide a lot of muscle mass under their fat. But the statement is still specualtion to a degree.
  21. Has anyone tried telling him he should start breathing through his eyelids like the lava lizards of the Galapagos?
  22. Somehow still treading water despite their entire team hitting under .200 in June and having a team wRC+ of 69
  23. MLB in person attendance is up 8% so far in 2023 vs 2022.
  24. I dont think they should either, but given their money constraints, it's only a matter of time.
