    What happened?

    Barger
  3. John_Havok
    Precisely. If anything, Atkins deserves major credit for bolstering the rotation the way he did just in case something exactly like this happened. The Ponce thing though... gut punch to the guy for sure.

    grabbed some quick data from umpscorecards from 2015 when Bucknor ranked as one of the most accurate umpires at 90.91% which was almost a full 1% over expected accuracy. Fast forward to 2025. Bucknor actually improved his accuracy over time up to 92.81%. Problem is.... that's BELOW his expected accuracy rate by 0.6. To put some of this in perspective... the WORST umpire's accuracy in 2025 (92.5% - im excluding the guy with only 4 games behind the plate due to sample size)was BETTER than virtually every ump in 2015. The BEST ump's accuracy in 2015 was 92.68. umpires as a whole have improved tremendously over the past 10 years. Bucknor himself has even improved. The problem is, the rest of the umps as a whole have improved to a far greater degree.

    Auburn hadn't been with the Jays since 2010, basically Vancouver replaced them at the time as the SS A affiliate, but they changed that up pretty soon since some players coming out of college and international settings couldnt play there due to visa issues. But yes, the NY Penn league was still around for other teams to use.

    Gimme dat bench!

    Your memory is a bit off... Jays havent had Pulasi since the early 2000s. GCL Jays was Rookie, Bluefield was advanced Rookie, Lansing was A, Dunedin was Advanced A, Vancouver was short season A.

    My mom did, gave one to each of her kids. I fell asleep in the 1st half page. Suffice to say she is no Shakespeare.

    50 Ks thrown by the staff over the 1st 3 games of the 50th season. Coincidence??

    There's a ton of difference websites and companies out there now who will do this for you. My brother gave my mother a "gift" of this service for her to write a compilation of her memories growing up. How this one worked, the service sends you a different topic every week and you just write whatever comes to mind about that topic like " your first job " or "the worst boss you've ever worked for" etc etc ... then after however long you decide to, you stop and they'll put everything together in a hardcover book. She gave each one of her kids a copy. I encourage Olerud to pursue this

    There were plenty of scouts who thought Bo had 1st round talent, they just didn't buy his approach of "swing at everything even vaguely close to the strike zone" and weird swing at the time would play in pro ball.
  15. John_Havok
    But what can he do? *points at Pete* Pete: He gets on base.
  16. John_Havok
    He fits that Jays archetype too. High contact, lower power, can play multiple IF positions. He jumped multiple levels last season (im not counting the 1 game at AAA) and settled at AA with a 124 wRC+ as a 22 year old. Guy didnt even rate in their top 60 according to fangraphs last year.
  17. John_Havok
    Then youre changing the definition of a strike?
  18. John_Havok
    Yeah I think ya gotta
  19. John_Havok
    Kaz being a legit threat ... would be amazing Also, what's the record for strikeouts for the first 3 games of the season by the starters? Jays SP are on a tear right now
  20. John_Havok
    sorry for not copy pasting I am on mobile and driving so text to talk I like Barger today
  21. John_Havok
    I think it would be more accurate to say that the new system shows how important it is not to waste challenges until theres a time when catcher who actually knows what he's doing can pull it off. Umps are already way better than they were 10 years ago just by looking at umpscorecards over the years.
  22. John_Havok
    Straw today please
  23. John_Havok
    Ditto. Gonna be some argy Barging tonight

    Atkins on the MIF situation.... "Kasevich performed very well in Spring Training, and we do have some confidence in him,” Atkins said, “and we’ll be active in trying to acquire depth in that area, as well.” Is that really a lot of confidence then? I read that more like "we have our emergency guy in Kasevich who can can play a game or two, or maybe a week or two to give is time to trade for IKF"
