    So all Leafs fans now becoming Oilers fans? Nice shirt though haha. Pretty cool!

    100% agreed. I don't think the status quo cuts it. Atkins does need to make some moves to upgrade the MLB roster if the Jays want any chance of jumping ahead of those teams in front of them. If they keep the status quo, they likely stay around .500 for the season.

    Still a lot of teams to jump over. Not too worried about the Tigers and the Rays seem to have lost their magic from previous years and have a lot of injuries. Twins still are pretty solid and Boston has some solid starting pitching. I think the Royals as well will be in the thick of things still - they were my sleeper AL team this season. Rangers have been banged up but if they get everyone back healthy, they seem like a team that could go on a major run. Would be nice if Atkins added to this core, so the team could go on bit of a run. I don't think keeping the status quo is the answer.

    A split with the Orioles isn't bad at all, but like you said, the series didn't inspire much confidence especially the way the first two games went. As well, given how the Jays dug themselves in a hole early this season, splitting 4 game series won't cut it. Need to go on a run and hopefully they could sweep the A's in Oakland this weekend! Maybe these two last games are a turning point for this team, we'll see!

    Only when I include the Yankees in a parlay lol.

    Yeah having a decent bounce-back season but nowhere close to looking elite like he was in San Francisco.
  7. jaysblue
    Rodon has won his 6th straight start and is 8-2 with a 3.08 ERA with 71 K's across 73 innings. FIP is still quite high however and was at 0.6 fWAR before tonights start.

    I doubt he did, but what do I know. Do you have any links showing he had multiple suitors? Regardless, the IKF deal is looking solid thus far, so will give Atkins props. Most of his value is tied to his defense. Offensively, he's been holding his head above water, but we'll see if he could maintain a 100 wRC+ the entire season. I had no issue with the IKF signing at the time. I said as long as that money didn't tie into the Jays from spending in other areas such as adding some thump to the lineup and if IKF wasn't used on an everyday basis. Thought of him as more of a super utility guy who can maybe start 4-5 times per week. Ideally, the Jays should have added some thump in the OF and DH, with IKF at 3B, instead of going after all defensive-minded players this offseason. Some balance would have helped.

    I bet AI could have put together a better offseason than Ross Atkins lol.
  10. jaysblue
    Bet365 or BetMGM definitely want his business and aren't complaining. If he won big, he would have been booted off.
  11. jaysblue
    Ross Atkins couldn't do anything this offseason to improve the offense! Give the dude a free pass!
  12. jaysblue
    Give me a break geez. Stop giving Atkins a free pass on everything!

    Teoscar and Hoskins would have been nice adds. Obviously not on the level of Ohtani or Soto, but they definitely would have helped in the power department. As well, there were several other names available during the offseason who could have helped the lineup: Joc Pederson, Tyler O'Neill, Adam Duvall, JD Martinez, Jorge Soler (if they wanted to do a multiyear deal), Gary Sanchez, and Tommy Pham. Also, who knows what trades were available. Like you said, if they signed one or two of these bats, especially Teo and/or Hoskins, likely would make a sizeable difference to the offense.
  14. jaysblue
    I would buy one yes. They look cool actually.
  15. jaysblue
    Haven't been to Seattle since seeing the Jays play there in 2016. Pike Place Market is a cool place. Some cool bars and restaurants around that area as well. A little further from the ballpark however.
  16. jaysblue
    Have to start asking the question would it be smart to move him out of the closers role for a bit until he figures things out? I love Romano and hope he can right the ship, but don't feel that confident in him closing out a one or two-run game against a team like the Yankees, Orioles, or pretty much anyone right now etc.
  17. jaysblue
    Awesome start for him. If he could lower his BB/9, watch out!
  18. jaysblue
    I would have went to one of those games if they were pitching for sure.
  19. jaysblue
    Hope Manoah is okay. Nice to sweep the White Sox. Gotta keep this momentum rolling hopefully.
  20. jaysblue
    He's been somewhat decent this season, but his K/9 really low. His 2022 season looks more like an anomaly.
  21. jaysblue
    Could have been worse. Actually not bad at all.
  22. jaysblue
    I was advocating for a McMahon trade a couple of years ago. The control and contract are nice. Having a solid season offensively as well.
  23. jaysblue
    The Atkins cult gets excited and fooled after the Jays win 2 games against the White Sox. Brownie has come out of hiding.
  24. jaysblue
    Still an amazing trade!
  25. jaysblue
    Do you have a Big Clev jersey? Haha you love him and own him in pretty much every fantasy league.
