    Watch Florida win Game 7 and all Oilers fans and Canadians get heart broken after an epic comeback. Should be an interesting game on Monday night.

    Bandwagon fan! lol jks. Cool t-shirt! Glad it shipped and was delivered quickly!

    Jays need to face the White Sox, Athletics and Angels more. Then they would be a couple games over .500 and within striking distance of a WC spot!
  4. jaysblue
    Quite sad honestly.
  5. jaysblue
    There is nothing Atkins could do to fix the offense.
  6. jaysblue
    It's not okay lol. They need two big bats ideally added to this lineup.
  7. jaysblue
    Can't say that around here haha.
  8. jaysblue
    Yeah unless a team is desperate for starting pitching at the deadline. Those two years at the backend of his contract look like they could be a disaster.
  9. jaysblue
    Why would you want to keep Berrios in the latter years of his contract? Even if the Jays have a short rebuild and are contenders in 2026/2027, they might need that $18.7M elsewhere and Berrios won't be the same arm we saw in 2021/2023/2024 in 2026/2027. Keeping Bassitt makes more sense since he's a FA after 2025 anyways, so it's short term. Berrios, we're talking about potentially $86M over the next 4 years!
  10. jaysblue
    Not at $18.7M per season for a pitcher who likely will have a FIP above 4. He's under control until 2029 unless he opts out after 2026. He's already 30-years-old and the back end of his contract might not look too good in another year or so. You can easily find an arm that could give you innings and a 4 FIP and it won't cost you years or $18.7M. His contract in the last 2-3 years could be an albatross so best to cash in now and let him be another teams problem.

    Do Oilers win tonight and force a Game 7?
  12. jaysblue
    Soto ain't coming here. Maybe they have a chance at Bregman since he's already 30 but not sure how many years you would want to go with him especially given his age and his struggles this season.
  13. jaysblue
    Yeah would be nice to clear that money and contract. Berrios is a solid arm who could eat innings, but he's no ace or anything. Having a solid season still, so there likely would be takers. Free up that money!
  14. jaysblue
    Yeah you make a good point about keeping Bassitt for that very reason. Jays would need to sign a similar guy anyways for next year. Could probably even deal Bassitt at the deadline next season and still get a similar return. Gausman would still bring in a nice return. Sucks he's not a top 20 guy anymore like you said, because his first two seasons here in Toronto he was one of the elite starters in the game. It's a shame the Jays couldn't take advantage of those years Gausman was pitching at an elite level like he was. Hope he can put together a string of starts in July where he flashes that elite level again to convince other teams he still could be a bonafide No. 1 guy. Best time would be to trade him this trade deadline. If you wait longer, his value decreases more especially if he's just pitching like a No. 2/3 guy.
  15. jaysblue
    They were added to the roster because right now they're in panic mode. If they added some offense during the offseason, likely wouldn't see a whole wave of the Buffalo guys up. Hope some of the Buffalo guys can contribute and would be nice to see them help get this team out of their rut. Hope we see them playing everyday. Orelvis should have started at least one of the first two games he was called up for. Ridiculous.
  16. jaysblue
    Orioles should have brought back Kyle Gibson haha.
  17. jaysblue
    I think they need to bank on something else like help from outside the organization if they want to make WC3. Banking on Springer, KK and Turner still is ridiculous and it was ridiculous even before the season started.
  18. jaysblue
    Why hasn't Atkins done anything to improve the lineup? What is he waiting for?
  19. jaysblue
    Needed some more punch in this lineup. Can't believe it's been 1.5 seasons and nothing still has been done to address the issue.
  20. jaysblue
    A lot of the Atkins cult only show themselves when the Blue Jays beat up on the White Sox or Tigers.
  21. jaysblue
    Darvish at least wasn't like Dice K, who came with way more hype IMO at the time. I think Darvish could pitch until he's 40 or even a couple years more if he wanted to. Should easily reach 40 WAR.
  22. jaysblue
    I was thinking of driving down to Pittsburgh this weekend, since he might pitch on Saturday most likely.
  23. jaysblue
    Yeah perfectly said. Nothing wrong with this criticism at all. Given the offensive struggles dating back from the beginning of 2023, they should have targeted more offensive minded players in LF and at DH. Otherwise, overall Atkins has made a lot of fantastic FA signings in the past and I don't think anyone on here is questioning that. Just question the strategy they took this previous offseason to address a significant issue that was evident during all of the 2023 season. Some FA bats would have helped more than KK and Turner.
  24. jaysblue
    I don't think anyone complained about short term FA signings or are s***ing on Atkins on a couple of FA misses. No GM is ever perfect when it comes to FA signings or trades. Atkins has been very rock solid when it comes to FA signings for the most part. However, given the issue dating back from the beginning of last season, they should have targeted FA's or trades that would have helped the lineup, rather than doubling down on defensive first players like KK or targeting a 40-year-old DH. Should have been 4 for 4 indeed and we should be talking about 5 for 5. It's unfortunate Atkins hasn't been able to take advantage of this window.
  25. jaysblue
    You remain in a state of blissful ignorance when it comes to Atkins and this front office. Keep taking the blue pill!
