    Also a possibility. I believe Lauer is out of options thiugh, so that complicates things a bit, thiugh he coukd still have a pen role. Yeah, Bieber plus Woodruff, or any combo of two top end starters could be possible. Alot depends on the Bo situation too. If hes not back that gives them more money to work with on the pitching side...but that does leave a gap in the offense without question. His D and baserunning can be replaced internally but nothing internal replaces his bat

    Nah, Berrios in 2026 already fills the back-end innings eater role, no need to pay for another one in FA when the one they're paying for already is more expensive. One hopes they would sign a top rotation option, Gausman to 2, Berrios has a bounceback season as the 3 and all the internal options plus depth FA minor league deals fight over the last spots. Manoah, Yesavage, Francis, Lauer, Estrada, plus whatever sh*t they pick up and try to throw against the wall. The rest of the minor league options are still either too far away, not ready, or just arent good enough. Bloss wont be ready to start the season but he'll probably factor in by July

    Bassitt has lost the velo on his fastball that made every other pitch play up. He can still get by as a backend starter due to the sheer number of pitches he has and keep guys a little off balance...but his bad days are gonna be more often than the good at this point.

    I do also, to a point. The thing is, hitters from 1-9 now are far better at doing damage on balls in play so "pitching to contact" isnt as valid a strategy as it used to be. Pitchers were careful with a teams top 3-5 guys but the bottom 3 or 4 were just...fastball down the middle and watch them ground out to the IF for the most part. Saved a lot of pitches that way

    Updated Jays fWAR ranking after last nights game Kirk 4.2 Vlad 4.1 Springer 4 Bichette 3.7 Also fun... Varsho, Heineman and Straw combined have 622 PA, which is 2 less PA than Bo on the season... combined fWAR of 6

    OOT scoreboard watch time: Rays getting spanked by the Clevelands, Houston losing by 2 in the top of the 8th, Red Sox tied at 1 early against the Snakes, Tigers lost, Mariners lost.

    Welcome to AA Gage Stanifer. 4IP, 4 ER on 2 hits (1 solo HR) 5BB and 4 Ks. 73 pitches, 39 strikes. Now that command is going to be challenged.

    Yankees board is probably melting down right now

    Ball game! Nice DP and thats a wrap 👌
  10. John_Havok
    6 pitches to Judge and none in the strike zone. Great way to pitch him most times... but not when youre up by 6
  11. John_Havok
    Welcome back Fisher. Go face Judge, Bellinger and Stanton in your first game back. You got this
  12. John_Havok
    Nice! You hangy... he bangy. Stupid to throw a slider after those filty cutters he couldn't handle
  13. John_Havok
    Come on Varsho, put this game away
  14. John_Havok
    Jesus....98-100 mph cutter is nasty
  15. John_Havok
    Cant really ask for much more from your starter than this. Last pitch was 96 too. Still has the gas after 100+
  16. John_Havok
    Ditto for Varsho in your list of fly ball/higher whiff guys
  17. John_Havok
    Thats a gorgeous patch. Completely f*cking ruined by a sticker autograph
  18. John_Havok
    Assuming he can throw strikes with those pitches first. He didnt fare well in that exact scenario against Cinci, walking that lefty and having to face 2 RHB after.

    I unequivocally believe Vlad is the most valuable member of the Jays - when all on-field and off-field things are considered, but... yeah as far as on-field only, Springer has kinda separated himself from the pack, especially over the past month. The top 4 are Kirk, Springer, Vlad and Bo... Kirk and Springer already above 4 fWAR and have an outside chance at 5, Vlad and Bo could both end up above 4.

    09/03/25: Buffalo Bisons released 1B Rainer Nunez. Damn. Elite exit velos but just cannot lift the ball at all. Wonder where he'll catch on next...

    Southpaws are left handed ...right?
  23. John_Havok
    Varland had a 67% whiff rate on his fastball ...better throw that curve more! I know ya cant be predictable, but they looked terrible on the heater... they were clearly sitting soft.
  24. John_Havok
    Theyre determined to make Varlan spam that curveball even when its obvious they're sitting on it. Some really bad pitch calling here
  25. John_Havok
    He's stated that over the past few seasons he was consciously trying to be more of a contact hitter and his approach to go up looking for damage wasn't there. It's back now though
