  1. I’d rather hitch my wagon to Bo at this point tbh. It’s Bo you have to rein him in…with Vlad …it’s not that he doesn’t want to succeed, but there’s just something about him that makes me think we’ve already seen his best, and it’s not likely to be seen again
  2. Fenway special. That’s an out in every other park in baseball. Xba of .060
  3. K, so you dont really know. i'll just let it go then
  4. Vlads launch angle right now is either straight into the ground, or straight up in the air. Timing is just off
  5. picking locked Vladdy - 1 Point - Dylan, Gen.Disarray Bichette - 1 Point - mphenhef, LTBF Chapman - 1 Point - JohnHavok Varsho - 2 Points - Springer - 2 Points - Candy Maldonado Kirk - 3 Points - Jonn Jansen - 3 Points - bones10, Abomination Kiermaier - 4 Points - JaysBlue, wilko Merrifield - 5 Points - JaysAllMighty, Omar Off the bench: 10 Points
  6. Yeah, Varsho is right now the best baserunner on the team, just ahead of Chapman and Merrifield. Varsho's baserunning value is the only thing keeping him at replacement level since his elite D hasn't really been needed yet.
  7. If anyone hits a HR off Houck tonight, it will be their first off him. Nobody on the roster has a HR against him. Granted, the entire roster only has like 30 PA in total against him
  8. Please explain what you mean by Chapman regressing to the mean. I already know what it means, but I need to know what you think it means before I get into it too much
  9. agreed, They actually changed the age related rookie rules in the NHL due to Sergei Makarov winning the Calder at age 31. now anyone eligible for ROY in the NHL must be under 26 or under.

  11. left field in fenway... defense is relaly kind of .... whatever. Good place to hide that deficiency
  12. No doubt. Id hate to see him leave but even if he ends the season with a wRC+ around 150-160 he's going to have a lot of teams kicking down the door. He wont be getting those SS type of deals, but a 5 year guarantee upwards of 120 million is probably a sure thing. Aside from the hip issue he;s never really been hurt. He runs the bases well, still has above average speed at 30 whilst playing a corner IF position and is money on D. Hell, even if he hits at a 120 wRC+ like he did last season he's a 4 WAR player. I'd be sorely tempted to try and get him to that 5 year 125 million dollar extension now. Problem is he'd be insane not to test free agency. It will likely be his only chance at getting that 200 million dollar payday from some team that doesn't care about his age 36+ years. also,... who the f*** carries a .486 babip after 28 games???? That's so far past insane
  13. You're assuming he has complete autonomy in these decisions. It's a great assumption, but I think in today's game there's a lot more that goes into these things. I'm not saying Atkins is sitting up there calling down moves to the bench or anything, but there's going to be certain directives that Schneider is going to be somewhat bound by at any given time. Last year there was obviously a directive that Tapia was going to be given every opportunity to show whatever he had. Right or wrong (wrong... obviously) if Schneider is told to make sure Tapia goes in first for defense in scenario X, Y or Z, he does it. There's probably a whole list of matchups given to him by the analytics dept for every series that matches up our hitters and their pitchers, our pitchers and their hitters, ideal situation to make changes (or not make changes) and he's probablly under direction to make moves according to that info. Will he be given some leeway? probably to a point yeah, but who really knows how far that goes?
  14. Yeah I don't think Rogers will suddenly suspend the spending if all it adds is a few million more to this season's overage. There's ~60 million coming off the books after 2023 in Ryu, Kiermaier, Belt, Cimber, Bass, Merrifield and Chapman. Obviously a chunk of that will go to arb increases, but will still be a good amount left over to spend to add and fill the gaps
  15. I've made exactly 2 correct picks this season. A monkey throwing darts would probably have more correct picks so far. I just got lucky with the bench pick on a double point Saturday.
  16. This trade dealine should be interesting. The Jays have this season, plus 2 more with Bo and Vlad, only this season with Chappy, (assuming no extensions at this point). This should be "all in" time for getting the best reliever(s) available, DFA whoever ya gotta, and trade the s*** out of the minor leaguers with the possible exception of Tiedemann to land anyone else you think needs to be landed. If they go this year and the next 2 without getting to a WS whilst having Bo and Vlad in their primes, along with these starters, they failed bigtime
  17. last years savant page. Obviously has good stuff, if he can command it.

    That’s an understatement, Meier was murdered. Hit straight to the head too, Trouba gonna get nailed for it
  19. This umps scorecard is going to be dogshit tomorrow. Probably a full 2 runs in Bostons favour right now
  20. This ump has to have money on the Sox. It’s clear as f***ing day he’s callng one zone for them and one for the jays
  21. Again FfS f*** this ump is his flicking blind eye sockets
  22. And the first pitch high strike gets called against the Jays… This ump can suck a f***ing football team of cocks
