    Clement is in "foul off everything in the general vicinity of the plate" mode

    Nothing wrong with low carb for weight loss, it's actually protein and muscle sparing if done correctly.
  3. John_Havok
    This aged well. What moron said this crap?
  4. John_Havok
    I truly dont understand how the Jays never fare well against soft tossers. Sit soft, adjust to the fastball. He's just lobbing up curve ball after curve ball and theyre way our front everytime.
  5. John_Havok
    Double plays or double penetration... either way you are correct sir as long as it's not happening to you

    Bassitt actually drives me crazy winding the pitch clock down to near 0 every friggin time lol
  7. John_Havok
    Come on Bassitt, settle down. Need you to not f'n suck tonight
  8. John_Havok
    Who doesnt love a good 3-way?
  9. John_Havok
    I just hope he looks healthier than the last few starts. He was clearly labouring through something
  10. John_Havok
    Love that Barger is spitting on those curve balls. They aren't even bad pitches. Missed his cookies though, damn
  11. John_Havok
    Come on Barger, do some damage early
  12. John_Havok
    So, his 10 foot ground balls will be 11 feet now?
  13. John_Havok
    Agreed, I don't think he's truly in play, but the GM will do his due diligence and probably get a list of teams he would maybe approve a trade to.
  14. John_Havok
    Shelby Miller to the IL with a forearm strain. Cant come back until July 21 at the earliest. Hurts his trade chances for sure
  15. John_Havok
    Alls well that ends well ....I guess?
  16. John_Havok
    Okay, so Pina sucks.
  17. John_Havok
    Guy they picked up from Miami who was DFA. They stuck him in Buffalo till a few days ago. He might get the 3 inning save here lol
  18. John_Havok
    Berrios might go 8 himself. At that point it might be so out of reach a position player finishes up
  19. John_Havok
    I'm mentally preparing myself for the team to lay an egg after that brilliant homestand. I hope to be pleasantly surprised. The Sox are playing their first game home after flying back from a road trip so there could be a bit of letdown on their side too.

    Youd think, but Texas isn't a penny pinching team. They don't HAVE to move him, they just could if they wanted to. Plus, given the lack of high end arms on the market this year, they'd have tons of competition lining up. I suppose his no-trade clause could be a bit of a roadblock, but typically it's not

    Assuming all healthy, Sandlin to the minors would be the most correct move. There isn't a true long man on that list, so theyd have to use a few guys for 2 IP at a time, depending on how efficient they were. Green, Burr, Fisher can all go 2 IP, Yariel can too though he's more high leverage now. It would be an excellent problem to have Sandlin, Fluharty, Estrada, Pina, Schultz, Bhuihl, and Lucas in the minors as capable call-ups in case of injury.
  22. John_Havok
    For sure. Teams are generally smarter now in terms of trading top prospects for rentals so yeah the second and third tier guys become more important, and the guys who have 1 loud tool but might be struggling in the lower minors...those guys matter too. Pinango is a prime example of that.
  23. John_Havok
    Probably yeah. But the motivation for them to shed about 12 million dollars might bring that ask down a bit. Milwaukee is actually pretty much the NL version of the Jays when you look at where they were prior to June 1 and have gone nuts since then to climb back into it. The key difference being the ability to add payroll for whatever makes sense (Jays) vs not so much for Milwaukee. I don't even know what a return for them would look like from the Jays for them if we assume they want players to help them now. Their rotation is already solid. Pen is solid. Theyre probably looking to add a position player for the left side of the infieldand i doubt that's something the Jays could provide at the level they want.

    Brandon Woodruff just came back from injury today for the Brewers, threw just 70 pitches over 6 IP, surrendered only 2 hits (1 of them a solo HR) and struck out 8 over 6 innings with no walks. Might this be a guy that will be offered up in trade talks after a few more starts leading up to the deadline??? Reasons Milwaukee might trade him: Money. When he got hurt they signed him to a contract to cover his injury seasons (2.5m for 2024, 5.5m for 2025) but with a 10million buyout of a 20 million mutual option for 2026. I'm sure they'd love to get our from under that buyout. Misioroski's dominant debut probably has them more motivated to shed that buyout and get something back as well.

    I consider neither of them to be aces currently, though Alcantara has an ace history. Given the control of either pitcher remaining, no, I don't think a package of Kasevich or Stanifer level prospects would get it done, but trade returns are highly dependent on the team doing the evaluating of the Jays prospects. Do they want prospects only or do they want a near major league ready arm like Estrada, plus prospects? That's the kind of thing that can vary from FO to FO. One thing most teams have become very much better at in recent history is not trading their top prospects for rentals (unless they're truly on the cusp and the rental is a bonafide stud), and not trading top prospects for non-impact talent, even with control. I really don't see any aces available at the deadline TBH, unless there's some out there that we just haven't heard about that might be available. There's been rumblings of teams checking with Pittsburgh about Skenes, but that's probably just click-baiting.
