    Schneider gonna let him try and get it. Mad Max is fired up through 6 97 pitches... hey its not like ya need to worry about injury THAT much...
  2. John_Havok
    You're talking about basically a ~120-~140 PA sample size. Not exactly a track record to make judgements on
  3. John_Havok
    Same thing they did this season likely. BV is a good defensive catcher but his bat needs work. He's still a backup.
  4. John_Havok
    Big fly for BV - Jays up 2-zip
  5. John_Havok
    Nice ovation for Springer leading off. Long one too
  6. John_Havok
    Absolutely. The George sendoff will mean more to TO. Btw... if no police horse shows up with some actor dude with his tarp off, the Jays marketing team missed out on a massive opportunity
  7. John_Havok
    For all their faults, Jays fans know whats up with Scherzer. He will get the ovation he deserves. It may not mean the same baseball-wise or have the same emotional context, but that's not in the fans control
  8. John_Havok
    A work stoppage might be the dagger if it drags on...
  9. John_Havok
    Scherzer says he isnt making any decisions until the offseason, whereas Verlnader has already confirmed hes hangin it up I agree though, when he leaves the mound... he should get the same type of send-off... just in case. Just hope he pitches well and doesnt go out on a low

    Kirk is just as good though. Well, like...90% as good. He's also just 1 year older. Kirk is the better defender, but not by much. Moreno is the better offensive player, but not by much though the margin is wider than the defensive edge of Kirk. Of course I'd rather have Moreno now with hindsight given the body comparisons as Moreno will probably age better, but... the trade was perfectly legit in its thought process. Deal from strength where you already have a keystone and get someone back where to make a team wekaness better. Yep, Varsho didnt put in the best 4 years and that sucks. But the process of the trade is easily defensible.

    Id argue his framing numbers are even more important with ABS since the challenges are limited.
  12. John_Havok
    Why? Will that help him stop swinging at pitches a foot off the plate?
  13. John_Havok
    Wait the Jays still have a series left?
  14. John_Havok
    Intelligence and smarts are not the same thing Intelligence is knowing what youre saying might be exactly what you feel but know its going to make you look like a twat. Smarts... would be deciding not to say it.

    I think he means timing is bad as in its happening at the end of a down season for Vlad and a horrible season for the Jays vs expectations. Had he said these things while hitting 40 HRs, and the Jays were easily in the playoffs...people likely wouldn't care as much. Just a guess though. I don't he means timing as exclusively the Month and day he said it. If he'd just finished a 40 HR season, Jays in the playoffs, hes in the mvp convo.... people would look at his comments and say "who cares, just keep hitting 40 HRs"
  16. John_Havok
    I wouldnt boo. Thats a reaction that gives attention. I'd go stone cold silent anytime he came up and hope the other 30k+ did too. Show him hes not even worth booing. But if I was Atkins, i'd be putting him on the IL with whatever would pass the sniff test and tell him not to even show up at the park
  17. John_Havok
    And its gonna a very fine highwire they try to walk when they do. It has to be strong enough to show theyre pissed, but be short of a public ass-reaming, even though everyone knows Vlad deserves one.
  18. John_Havok
    I dont see how anyone would want to be his teammate now. Everything he said is a giant "f*** you" to guys like Lukes, Clement, Ponce, Cellucci....anyone who's had to grind their asses off for years in the minors or go overseas to reinvent themselves just to get a shot at being on an MLB roster. This dipshit is telling people his 500mil contract was a reward for 1 incredible season, 1 good one and 3 average ones? If i was Springer or Scherzer ... I'd have already torn a strip off him in front of the entire locker room telling him what an entitled moron he is.
  19. John_Havok
    I mean... having that opinion about being paid for what hes done, not what he will do is one level of stupid, its another level entirely to then say it out loud when the mic is on. Tone deaf doesn't even begin to describe this level of delusion
  20. John_Havok
    Until the math says otherwise, gotta put your best foot forward. If they think Max is the best chance for a win today he goes. Anything else is disrespecful to the game and the other teams in the chase. Ask Max if he'd rather start a game that still could mean something to the teams playoff hopes (however slim) or ... not, just to pitch at home where it only might matter. Pretty sure I know what his answer would be.
  21. John_Havok
    That would be really cool. And ya just know Max is gonna come back just to pass him on the K list before he hangs 'em up too. Only 19 behind
  22. John_Havok
    Mods?
  23. John_Havok
    4 Vancouver Canadians selected to the NWL All Stars for 2026.
  24. John_Havok
    Managing this pitching staff over the next 6 games and get positive results is going to be next to impossible.
  25. John_Havok
    The Berrios and Francis situations are exactly what I said, conservative treatment first. There's a standard with which these things are dealt with. You do the imaging, you get the report interpreted by the experts and you do what they recommend first. Full tears of ligaments or detached muscles... yeah, you go to surgery because there's nothing conservative treatment can do in those scenarios. If there's no tear, or it's just a partial tear, conservative treatment is usually the go-to, in the form of platelet rich plasma injections and PT, and it works a decent amount of time. Of course there's gray area. In the absence of full tears where the treatment/surgery course is obvious, there is nothing BUT gray area.
