    Yeah I think he's second favourite in terms of Vegas odds. Yesavage is still favourite.
  2. jaysblue
    Hope he wins the case.
  3. jaysblue
    Yeah Vladdy will always play for the DR, never Canada. As for Freeman, he would have been a nice bat to have again but oh well.
  4. jaysblue
    Yeah having Pivetta and Cade Smith would have been nice.

    Bring Rich Harden, Erik Bedard and Eric Gagne out of retirement.

    Find the receipts! 😜

    I hope people pack the bars like they did for the Canadian Olympic Hockey games for this Canada/Colombia matchup! 😂

    Japan came through 8-6. Didn't watch, but looked like a nail biter.
  9. jaysblue
    I got a text yesterday about them.
  10. jaysblue
    Yeah Taipei to lose against Australia in their first game definitely puts them up against the wall.

    Some potential 6th round LOD picks next year!

    I'm down chipping in if we all want to get him one haha.

    I don't see a prize for the Terminator.

    I think Jays24 has a point here. Rogers obviously knew the market size, but 2015/2016 were a huge wake-up call in terms of what a winning team actually meant for the city and the country. The atmosphere at the Dome, the TV ratings, the merchandise sales - it showed ownership just how massive the demand was when the team was competitive. Before that, for most of Rogers’ ownership, the Jays were largely middling and baseball’s popularity in the city had dipped. Those playoff runs reminded everyone, including ownership, what the ceiling of this market really is.

    Shapiro definitely made positive changes here in comparison to previous Presidents, even if they weren't noticeable at first. On the business side and in terms of on-field product, Shapiro has transformed this organization into a legit big market club.
  16. jaysblue
    It was bound to happen after Beeston left. We all knew Shapiro was going to bring in his own guy and that AA after the 2015 season wanted to have more autonomy, rather than working under Shapiro. I'm also sure Shapiro still has some say and input on baseball decisions, more than Beeston had.

    Nobody is licking anyone's nuts here haha. AA wasn't a bad GM when he was in Toronto. Was he perfect? Nope. He did make some questionable moves and he also made some really good moves as well considering some of the limitations he had. As a Jays fan who has lived through the Ash and JPR years, the 2015 season will always be a special and memorable one. On paper, the Jays were definitely World Series contenders and how sweet would have it been to see a Jays/Mets World Series that year. Or heck, a Jays/Cubs World Series in 2016. They were that close both seasons.

    I like AA so you can tar and feather me all you want haha. Don't agree with everything he does, though not going to ignore the 2015 and 2016 seasons we had after not being in the Postseason since 1993. Jays had really good teams and were World Series contenders each of those seasons.
  19. jaysblue
    Jim, you left FC?
  20. jaysblue
    There is always luck involved when it comes to winning a World Series. Atlanta still had a solid team in 2021 which you forget to acknowledge. Still managed to win without Acuna. AA was still proactive at the deadline and yes it ended paying off. They still had Freeman, Riley, Albies, Swanson as core bats. Fried, Morton and Anderson were solid starters. They also had a strong BP.
  21. jaysblue
    Remember when the Jays made the Postseason in 2015 for the first time since 93 and also were World Series contenders in 2016?
  22. jaysblue
    Yeah bad luck as Laika would say.
  23. jaysblue
    I think he's like 31 to 1 on Bet365. Was thinking of putting $10 on him.
  24. jaysblue
    Eloy Jimenez hits 30+ HR's
  25. jaysblue
    Brownie19 and Jays24 become best buddies.
