    To be fair, you have 0 idea what goes on behind the Jays clubhouse doors and youre making assumptions based on the extremely limited viewings youve had of Charlie during his interviews. Just sayin... you(or any of us) don't KNOW anything about what he does when the cameras arent on. he could be doing exactly what youre suggesting and it's not working either.

    I'm working on a long piece about swing decisions, and how much worse the jays are at this than last year. It's coming soon. It may not be a 100% "this explains everything" thing... but it's most certainly a factor.

    At the very least, make a couple hitting order changes. Lets get the top guys at the top of the order consistently at least until some of the other bats come around. It's really frustratind seeing rallies killed in certain spots in the order nearly every time through.

    Ray vs Tapia…lol May as well just write down the K and save the time.
  6. John_Havok
    So…Rodon would have taken 3/36 vs 2/44 ?
  7. John_Havok
    From the camera angle, it looked like a balk. Rays right foot crossed his left knee slightly which should mean he had to throw home. Umps missed it imo.
  8. John_Havok
    Hard to strike guys when you have to throw 5 of them…this ump is pretty bad

    My guess would be after last nights game. Someone needed to step forward and tell the kids to stop worrying about having good vibes, and start to focus more on being staying in the game mentally. Good vibes are fine, nothing wrong with having a good time. Just know when to crank up the intensity. Oh and fire Montoyo.
  10. John_Havok
    Yup, just saw that about Kinley. Too bad, he could have been a nice add
  11. John_Havok
    What would Jansen for McCormick look like. Nvm, figured out how to play with that site. Jansen for MCCormick and Urquidy is about equal. Not that Houston is going to trade Urquidy anyways
  12. John_Havok
    Don’t misunderstand me either, he’s better than our current #5 but he’s sure as hell not someone that would be the centrepiece of a Moreno trade like the Houston fan suggests.
  13. John_Havok
    Am I looking at a different Urquidy than you are? His underlying numbers are very meh.
  14. John_Havok
    Didn’t say they would do it…Houston would probably have to add a sweetener like….that Cf prospect in high A. He looks fun
  15. John_Havok
    Urquidy and Odirizzi aren’t BAD per se, but they certainly wouldn’t be the kind of arms people target via trade when someone like Moreno is involved. He’s a consensus top 10 prospect in baseball. A GM would be burned at the stake for trading him for a 4/5 starter like Odorizzi or Urquidy. In your own words, Gurriel is okay value, McCormick is filler. So your trade has us giving up the best prospect in the trade, the best OF in the trade and a no value bum in Biggio for two average to below average starters, a worse prospect, a worse outfielder and two mid tier prospects that are even worse than Lee. Do you see the problem here?
  16. John_Havok
    There’s so much wrong with this trade I won’t bother going into immense detail. It’s just not realistic. Why would the Jays trade a young, highly touted catcher, a very decent starting OF, and a very average Jack of some trades for a middling starter to crap, a confirmed crap starter, a worse catcher and an average OF with some upside? A more realistic ask from the Jays would be like Danny Jansen for MCormick.

    Joe Jimenez - Detroit Tyler Kinley - Colorado If I’m Atkins I’m definitely targeting relievers and probably bench depth. The offense/defense starters are legitimately fine and with even half of them starting to track back to their career norms or projections …fine. Starting pitching….unless the perfect trade scenario manifests, I don’t think they really target anything here. The top 3 of Berrios, Gausman and Manoah will be relied upon, Stripling is the de facto 4 and has been fine, and will probably continue to be fine. The 5 spot is a problem but we all know Kikuchi is going to get another shot at this once his whiplash “injury” heals. Improve the bench and the pen by dealing from strengths (Jansen) and cutting bait (Tapia and however many crap relievers deserve to be punted) and the team looks immensely better without taking anything away from the core.

    It would hopefully be left up to Brown to see if he wanted to pursue a promotion if one was available. It’s incredibly douchey to stop someone from pursuing a promotion with a different club if a position is available and that club has asked permission to interview one of your employees for it.
  19. John_Havok
    He’s the VP of scouting, GM would be a pretty big step up. Besides, here Atkins is Executive Vice President, Baseball Operations & General Manager, so Brown coming here would be exactly what you suggested.
  20. John_Havok
    Bo in the 2 spot just has to stop. It’s not working. He’s not getting on base enough and not hitting the ball well enough. He’s just not the right kind of guy to be hitting that high right now. Springer, Vlad, Kirk, Teo, Gurriel, Bo, Biggio, Chapman, Espinal.
  21. John_Havok
    Dana Brown to replace Atkins please. Brown is such a master of player evaluations it’s disgusting
  22. John_Havok
    I doubt it, but there aren't many player only option years on contracts anymore. Usually it's just team options or mutual options, which are really just team options in disguise. Opt-outs exist, but players will very rarely opt out unless they 100% know they are going to make more money.

    Is Russia causing a fire sale?
  24. John_Havok
    Just because they could. I know it sounds dumb but that’s honestly the only reason
  25. John_Havok
    “Regression to the mean” doesn’t explain swing decisions when he’s never had a problem with swing decisions in the past. You should probably understand both the question and your own answer before sounding like a twit
