    I've seen "FIRE JP" signs at the Rogers Centre during the 2000's haha. Don't recall anyone ever getting kicked out. We've seen signs calling for firings of coaches, GM's, Team President's etc. As long as the signs aren't vulgar/offensive, and the person isn't disrupting the game by holding the sign up during innings and obstructing views of other fans around. You should be able to hold up a "Fire Ross Atkins" sign at the Rogers Centre.

    Wasn't that difficult to add a corner OF bat or DH with pop this offseason. Atkins is supposed to be the genius which is why he gets paid the big bucks. But he can't even do something that simple. At least the Jays have some options now since Vlad looks like he's finally woke up with his bat. They could get something of value in return now if they decided to shop him.

    I'll go with the experience. Panthers were in the Stanley Cup Finals last season. Don't see them losing 2-years in a row. It's gonna be tough for the Oilers to beat the Panthers.

    Atkins has done this in the past as well, for example with Morales after EE was a FA, and others. He seems to like filling holes early in the offseason rather than wait.

    How is Swanson doing? haha

    That's Gausman's second career complete game and first career shutout. WTF? Haha wouldn't have thought that.

    Hurston Waldrep to be called up by Atlanta tomorrow to make his MLB debut.
  8. jaysblue
    This meme could also apply to some posters on this board haha.
  9. jaysblue
    Yeah, they should be good! Oakland averages like under 3 runs per game haha.
  10. jaysblue
    Should be good. Glad they scored a couple of runs for Gausman!
  11. jaysblue
    Need to score a couple of runs. Gausman looking good!
  12. jaysblue
    Gausman is at least pitching. Hope we see him in elite form!

    I always had the high hopes after 2019 that Biggio could be a Chase Utley or Ben Zobrist type of bat. Even still, loved the versatility he offered and thought he could have still been a valuable piece, but it's time for a change of scenery. I could see him hitting .250/.350/.450 with 15 HR's somewhere as a utility guy who plays all over the field against RHP. Wasn't gonna happen in Toronto unfortunately.

    Who knows? Maybe the lineup overall doesn't struggle as much with bats like Teo and JDM in it. As well, maybe the Jays win some of those close games they lost. Instead of losing 2-1 last night, maybe the Jays win 3-1 or 4-2. I know its all hindsight. Though having Teo in LF and JDM at DH would have made this lineup better overall. Not sure they would be holding WC1 but maybe they're around 35 wins and a couple of games above .500 which would have them sitting nicely in the WC3 spot. As well, they would be in a better position to add to the roster come trade deadline. Lastly, this team actually might have been more watchable.

    Depends on his price tag and years. Nothing near Tatis or Soto money. I would do a 3 year/$80M extension (similar to Bellinger's deal with the Cubs). Would take Vlad into his 29-year-old season. Vlad has had a solid year to date and also is now playing some 3B. Just needs a couple of more balls to leave the yard.
  16. jaysblue
    He sleeps during the day usually.
  17. jaysblue
    JDM had more power and was 3-years-younger than Turner. Not too difficult to see who was a better fit at DH. Teo has had success here in Toronto before and has shown to have 3-4 WAR upside if things click for him offensively. Regardless you knew you were getting a corner OF who at least could hit 25-30 HR's and drive in runs. Something this team needed dating back to the start of 2023.
  18. jaysblue
    Well said.
  19. jaysblue
    The game isn't played on Fangraphs or computers. JDM and Teo both would have made a difference in this lineup, even with guys struggling. Jays needed power bats, even if they had sacrifice some defense in the process. You still could have signed IKF to play 3B and have JDM at DH with Teo in LF. So now you're admitting this team wasn't good enough even before the offseason? Who does that blame fall on then? It all points to Atkins. You just admitted yourself.
  20. jaysblue
    I never bet for or against the Jays. Always lose.
  21. jaysblue
    As well, Boras is his agent so could be tough, but you never know. Sucks about Manoah since he had a couple good starts and looked like he figured things out. Should be able to find another mid-rotation starter and roll with one of the guys Laika mentioned in the No. 5 spot. Just gotta hope Gausman and Berrios don't have a significant drop-off. Same with Bassitt.
  22. jaysblue
    Probably Rodriguez gets one of those spots? Could also always add another starter during the offseason via free agency or trade. Shouldn't be too difficult. Gausman, Berrios and Bassitt will all be another year older however.
  23. jaysblue
    Sucks especially since Manoah looked like he was going to have a bounce back season.
  24. jaysblue
    His last two starts have been pretty decent actually. He might be able to carve out a career as a No. 4-5 starter in the bigs.

    Infielder David Fletcher becoming a knuckleball pitcher in AAA lol.
