    NO chance we even make the wildcard with this kind of garbage bullpen usage so I guess we won't have to worry about that.

    If there's a hard floor, then the cap should also be a hard cap. Seems that mandating a floor of spending doesnt go hand in hand with just penalties for going over, unless the penalties are severe enough to stop teams from going over. Personally, if you're going to mandate a hard floor and NOT go with a hard cap, then the penalties need to not just be dollars, they need to be penalized draft picks too.

    Not to mention that he won with half the current roster as his players when they were in the minors.

    Also, wtf Jack Morris... imitating an Asian accent while talking about Ohtani, ON A BROADCAST... is he seriously so dumb?
  5. John_Havok
    Playoffs are still in mind for next season though. Can't always be trading for 2 month rentals That said, Montoyo's bullpen and pitching management in general this year is a complete disaster. He constantly makes poor decisions on when to remove starters, which relievers to bring in when .. .it's like he's just throwing darts at a board and going with whoever's name it lands on.

    This team has what, the 4th best run differential in baseball, yet we keep losing these tight games because Chuck doesn't know how to manage a f***ing pen. Brutal.

    Dolis gives me a f***ing headache everytime he's on the mound. Attaboy Charlie, way to put in our worst option when the game is on the line. Good job
  8. John_Havok
    No s***. Words I never thought I’d hear on a Jays broadcast….”Teoscar Hernandez comes into the game defensively….”
  9. John_Havok
    Not like you couldn't DFA Valera and lose 0 sleep over it.

    Not gonna lie, I really like the HR jacket thing. Ya it's a bit cheesy, but it's such an easy way to create some chemistry.
  11. John_Havok
    He's just trying to silver lining a bad scenario. In almost no universes is a comp pick better than a known quantity. Yeah, it COULD be, but it's not the likely scenario. I'm glad he has the confidence in his drafting, but that's just hoping to make the best of a bad situation.
  12. John_Havok
    Damn. They'll just call up some scrub from AA and he'll pitch like Glasnow anyways, but it sucks for him.
  13. John_Havok
    From 2010-2018 Votto only hit 7 IF flies. The Jays have more than that in daily BP.
  14. John_Havok
    I understand your reasoning, but Manoah in the pen vs Stripling? Wouldn't you rather have Manoah as the starter in that scenario?
  15. John_Havok
    Dang, outfield defense when the rosters expand just took a hit.
  16. John_Havok
    I'll never say the Rays rotation is garbage, they just sprinkle faerie dust on whomever they acquire and they instantly become something nobody thought possible, then proceed to trade them for elite prospects. Someone in Tampa sold their soul... for real.

    Value of wins takes on a new meaning when you're on an upward trajectory. Adding 5 wins is pretty meaningless when you're a 65-70 win team, but adding 5 wins when you're an 87-ish win team is pretty darn valuable. And, no I'm not saying Berrios will add 5 wins this season, that's pretty much impossible given the season is more than half over, but the overall point remains true. Wins added to get above 87 wins are far more valuable than adding wins to get above 70.
  18. John_Havok
    Probably but I think the ceiling on Biggio is higher because of his power potential, Madrigal barely hits doubles, he's a slappy singles guy.
  19. John_Havok
    Well Kimbrel just got dealt to the White Sox, so that's 1 more option unavailable
  20. John_Havok
    Not quite the same, Scherzer likely wasn't waiving his no trade to come to Toronto, so... moot point.
  21. John_Havok
    Damn, that give up seems expensive. I have to believe the Jays aren't pulling another Dickie trade here, but your top 2 prospects for 1.5 years of Berrios is kind of a head scratcher, unless an extension is announced. Right now, as of 2023 the only arms we have as starters are Ryu and Manoah. Can't count on Pearson at this point, though that could change. Manoah even could take a giant step back, or be hurt, you never know for sure. Who else is coming up the pipeline? Better hope all those arms they drafted this year get good. If I am in the boots of Atkins, my focus just shifted to getting extensions done on both Berrios and Ray. Ryu, Berrios, Ray as a top 3 through the end of 2023 just became really important IMO, and you hope that Manoah and Pearson round out your 5 while the rest develop.

    no kidding. Did a quick run down of the top AL teams by standing + the Jays. Columns are HR, Runs scored via HR, Total Runs, % of team runs scored via HR and overall Run diff. Toronto is highest, but it's not like it's in another universe. Houston 103 182 442 41.2 142 Toronto 114 179 387 46.2 65 Boston 96 167 391 42.7 42 Tampa 95 178 388 45.9 85 CWS 72 129 368 35.1 81 Cleveland 89 139 319 43.6 -3 Oakland 99 147 364 40.4 34
  23. John_Havok
    Lol, poor Gurriel. He wants a hit so bad to join the party but just cant get that timing right now
  24. John_Havok
    I'll say this for Wade, at least he isn't walking them in.
  25. John_Havok
    GO ahead, pitch around Vlad. See what happens.
