    Game plan of Bradley is easy... away away away...
  2. John_Havok
    It should become self evident if all goes to plan

    Then we finally have a functional bench piece that isn't an embarassment to the profession.

    Don't ruin the joke.

    He's been a high contact, low strikeout guy his entire minor league career too. Really no power to speak of though. Maybe something has chnaged as he's hit 5 this season already and he had only hit 11 in his entire minor league career prior to this season. Looks like slappy mcslaperson with the bat. Doesn't K much and probably wont walk much.

    Nothing. It's the perfect illustration as to why their opinions are akin to the brown stains on their underwear.

    White to the 60 day DL is a master stroke of genius on a level not seen in the past 10 years. Saves a DFA for now.

    s*** umpiring.

    What the actual f*** was that lol

    Nah, just wish the people would quit the insane daily bitching when the team is in a slump, then disappear for weeks at a time when the team is good. If all you do is bitch publicly when things are bad, but don't celebrate publicly when things are good, you're an assclown.

    I think his brain is more responsible though his fitness is an issue. His approach to hitting seems too much like Pappy in that he will swing at anything close thinking he should hit it, especially with RISP. He rolls over so many pitchers pitches. I can usually figure out what a hitter is looking for based on their swing decisions, but Vlad just seems like he doesnt care where a pitch is, as long as it's close to being a strike he's going after it. He makes it really easy for opposing pitchers with any kind of command to take all the sting out of his bat. He's still getting by on raw talent alone, but he should be so much better.

    Id be on board, unfortunately Gibby has pretty much stated he knows he wouldn't fit in today's game with a lot of the numbers and direction on which moves to make and when coming from above.

    This seems to be something the Jays are doing as an org in the recent drafts. Picking up college relievers with big stuff and working to switch some of them back into starters. It's not a bad idea given that there's only so many SP positions in the NCAA and a lot of guys end up in the pen that probably could very well have been decent starters through college.

    Win the next 3 against Tampa is pretty much a push at 7-7. I’m not exactly holding my breath, but even 2 wins makes it 6-8 which isn’t terrible in that stretch.
  18. John_Havok
    And to be fair, no weekend series were home in Oakland or Miami…so that helped.
  19. John_Havok
    Yes. But usually only 1 or 2 bad stretches in a season.
  20. John_Havok
    114 wRC+ on the season and climbing (190 in May!?) I bet if he hit that 125 ROS projection the Jays would be fine with that. I doubt they considered a return to the 150-170 he was running at in 2020 and 2021 as realistic for a full season
  21. John_Havok
    It is interesting to wonder isn’t it? Instead we get Lopez, who just like Lukes will be relegated to the bench 99% of the time and pinch run every few games. It’s almost like the Jays are cool with running their hitters with 2 fewer roster spots than every other team, and then there’s Biggio….
  22. John_Havok
    To answer one of those questions, which is probably the most important one of the convo, yes, there is a massive difference from a team hovering around .500 or better vs a 58 win team, when the ownership of the team is who they are. They need the Jays to be relevant in the standings far more often than not in order to take full advantage of the marketing machine that the team is for them. I’m not even arguing that Atkins has failed to put the finishing touches on the team he built, just that doing what the Orioles are currently doing is also absurd to pattern after, so singing their praises as an org as a model to follow is dumb.
  23. John_Havok
    You can honestly sit there and tell me Jays fans would be okay in the present with a .300-.400 win team for 5 straight years in the chance they might get lucky to draft a Jackson Holliday, Rutschman…and a few others? I don’t believe that for a second because they never have before.
  24. John_Havok
    If you’re going to insult people could you at least spell out full words? Kids today are so lazy. Fysmcysmfatkys. Bitch.
  25. John_Havok
    Pointless to bring up anything beyond when the Jays joined the league. Using that cutoff, the Os have made the playoffs 7 times. 1 WS win. jays have made the playoffs 8 times with 2 WS wins. Sit down and shut the f*** up.
