    You must have fun playing MLB the Show :P

    Blue Jays are 19 to 1 right now to win the World Series. Not much of a difference between what they were previously (17 and 15 to 1), so Vegas still thinks they should be in it.

    Dodgers (+46) and Braves (+44) both #1-2 in run differential. Braves pitching has actually done a solid job: team 2.93 ERA so far and a 3.58 FIP despite all the injuries they've had.

    Injuries are a part of the game.

    Um, Guardians I expect to contend for the Central again. Reds were a WC team last season and I expect the A's to be better with that lineup. D'Backs should hover around .500 probably.

    Romano f***ing the Jays again in a different uniform, two nights in a row.

    We need to clone Ernie Clement so we can have him fielding two positions.
  8. jaysblue
    All randomness and bad luck!

    Konnor Griffin needs to prove himself first and post a couple 4-5 WAR seasons in order to do that. For every hyped prospect like Konnor Griffin, there sometimes is a Brandon Wood. Just saying.

    Some guys just don't perform in the closers role. Hoffman was elite as a setup guy with the Phillies in 2023 and 2024. I don't see why he can't transition back to that role and have success as a 7th/8th inning guy for us. The numbers are a strong contrast when he was with the Phillies versus his time with the Jays.
  11. jaysblue
    Even some of those balls that found holes against Hoffman, Clement likely would have got to them. Okamoto's agility and movement at third is really disappointing. You can't have him fielding at third base, especially if the bat doesn't pick up.
  12. jaysblue
    Have you been watching him at third base?
  13. jaysblue
    Ah defensively Okamoto looks awful out there. I'll give his bat more time to figure things out. Ideally he's best suited for 1B/LF or DH. If he doesn't start hitting and can't field at third, then yes it could be a bad signing. Might have jumped the gun in the heat of the moment of yesterday's game, so I'll take that back. He's not a write off just yet.

    Yes, Hoffman’s strikeout numbers are elite, but you can’t put blinders on and act like that alone makes him a fit for the closer’s role. The walk rate is too high, and the mental lapses and inability to handle pressure in the ninth have become a real problem. I’m a big Hoffman fan and have defended him plenty, but I think the Jays need to seriously consider a role change. His numbers with the Phillies as a setup guy speak for themselves, and the contrast compared to his time with the Jays is hard to ignore.
  15. jaysblue
    It's still early and Bo is with a new team. I'm sure his numbers with the Jays wouldn't be this bad. Sometimes players really struggle out of the gate with their new clubs.
  16. jaysblue
    Yeah those two groundballs that found holes, Okamoto should have had at least one of them. Leadoff walks are always bad and always come back to bite you. I think I've seen enough of him used in the closers role here. I still think he's better in a setup role where he has had success and has been elite (2023 and 2024 with the Phillies). Some relievers can't be closers and that's fine.
  17. jaysblue
    Brewers and Yankees aren't making the Postseason this year. Dodgers are the Dodgers.
  18. jaysblue
    Even Kevin Gregg at least got the job done.
  19. jaysblue
    Yeah agreed. I want the Phillies version of Hoffman - the arm that put up 1.5 and 2 WAR seasons.
  20. jaysblue
    My two cents: - The Jays need to remove Hoffman from the closer’s role. He hasn’t looked comfortable there since last season, and he’s clearly better suited to the seventh or eighth inning. Time to move on and see what Varland can do in the ninth. - Okamoto has been brutal at third base. They can’t keep putting him out there. At this point, he should either be DH’ing or playing left field. - Move Clement back to third full-time and use Sosa/DS at second. - DS should be in the lineup over Lukes every single day. No debate. Lukes needs to be sent down.
  21. jaysblue
    Yeah I don't want to be tarred and feathered by some for saying this, but geez this could be a bad signing.
  22. jaysblue
    I know it's still early, but I really haven't been impressed with him so far. He looks clueless out there and has some of the worst agility I've seen at 3B. Heck, even Troy Glaus moved better.
  23. jaysblue
    Yeah geez, it's ridiculous. I've never been this annoyed before at someone's fielding.
  24. jaysblue
    Okamoto is really pissing me off. Don't think I've been this annoyed at a player before.
  25. jaysblue
    His fielding has been awful this game and from what I've seen of him thus far. Unacceptable. Really annoying to watch this guy at the hot corner. No agility whatsoever. Looks completely lost out there.
