Hopefully the Jays Shops have his jersey available next home stand!

He's only 29 but from that photo I thought he was 40.

Jays have an opportunity to win the series today down in Washington! 2 of 3 would be a nice way to start this road trip!

Never bet against Gausman. Let's hope the Jays bats come out swinging today!

I'll admit being wrong about the Leafs this series. They have turned things around despite having their backs against the wall. They have played great hockey over the past two games and right now look like the better team. Boston looks slow and tired out there. Woll has been really impressive in the last two games and kudos to Sheldon Keefe and the FO for shaking things up after being down 3-1. Also impressive that these last two wins have been without AM34. We'll see what happens in Game 7 tonight. I think the Bruins have to make a statement in the first period. They can't afford to play like they have the past two games and starting out flat.

Wonder what kind of contract he gets. Even last season, Hoffman was awesome: 1.5 WAR in 54 games.

Gausman pitches today! He's going to put out the fire!

We need George Knox:

Yeah a lot of rational posters on here I think agree that Ross Atkins wasn't a bad GM and was actually solid. He made some great moves which I and many like you acknowledge. However there is a cult on this board that praises the floor Atkins walks on 24/7 which irks me. It feels like this team hasn't taken advantage of their window given and I saw those warning signs during the 2021 season. Even this offseason, the goal was to add some power to the lineup after a disastrous 2023, and they failed to do that. Also, can't blame everything on Atkins. Guerrero and Bo have been awful to start the season. Warning signs of Vladdy not being elite have been there since 2022, so I think it's time to move on after this season. I think Bo will figure it out at some point. Springer is an old broken down player now whose contract is immovable. I think this team needs fresh eyes to lead this team through the end of the Bo & Vlad era. Right now the farm system hasn't produced much to be excited about and this roster is an old, aging and expensive roster, including the pitching. I think the window is near a close. The team is likely still an 85 win team with strong pitching and defense, but any regression in those areas, the results likely will be worse.

Nice summary!

This. Also got to add Brownie to the list. Term likes to troll and is entertaining. Have no issue with him. He at least can be rational.

According to the great Laika who is always right, Morton is a washed up 40-year-old "geriatric."

I watched Spider Man (2002) the other night. Still holds up very well and definitely could argue because of Spider Man's success, we started to see a roll out of other comic book movies to follow.

Oakland Athletics (16-17) have a better record than the Blue Jays (15-18) on May 4th. Who would have thought that?

Acuna ties it up! Braves baseball is so much fun to watch.

Morton keeps getting better with age. Probably could pitch until he's 45. Has been a consistent and a durable arm. Morton with a 3.44 FIP and 0.5 WAR before tonight's start. Bassitt with a 5.06 FIP and 0.1 WAR so far this season.

You're trying way too hard man. Give it a break. I love how you always use the Braves in your ridiculous examples.

You can't be serious? It's the job of a front office during an offseason to fix or improve issues that plagued the team the year before to the best of their ability. Even if it's a slight improvement. After the struggles offensively in 2023, this front office had an entire offseason to improve the lineup and instead you're asking what was the FO supposed to do? Like you're giving them a free pass to stand pat and keep the status quo, which wasn't going to work and so far isn't working. Other than bringing in Justin Turner to replace Brandon Belt they didn't improve the lineup at all. Probably made it worse. The FO needs to be held accountable for fumbling the ball again if they don't address the lineup needs before the deadline.

Royals aren't a pushover like they were last season. They were my preseason pick to win the AL Central.

Mason Miller is this years Felix Bautista.

This is why Gausman gets paid the big bucks. End the skid. He's looking great out there so far! Hope the Jays could get to the Dodgers pen!

The Maple Leafs are only a regular season team. It's been like this each and every season. This core of Matthews, Marner, Nylander is never winning a Cup. Something is fundamentally wrong with this group. It's deja vu every Playoffs. One of the most overrated teams I've seen.

Well said CD.

Buddy, you're one of the most insufferable and arrogant posters on this board. You post on here like you own the joint and that your opinion is the only correct one. You insult other reputable posters, making them think that they're idiots and inferior to you. It's because of posters like you why some other people refrain from posting on this board frequently anymore. I've been on this message board since 2003 and while I have not seen eye-to-eye with every poster on certain baseball topics, I never recalled a poster who is as toxic and arrogant as you.

Let's go Bruins!
