    He needs to put up typical Bo numbers offensively and he should get it - .300 BA, 20-25HR's, 90-100 RBI, 130-140 wRC+, 4 WAR season.

    Looks like Bo will be moving back to SS in the short term haha.

    Jays have got 1.5 fWAR out of Cease so far this season. He's right up there tied for 3rd highest pitching WAR. Cease has been more than fine in the early going. Sure he can be more efficient, and he could lower his BB/9, which are the only knocks against him so far. He's definitely capable of taking that next step. As we saw yesterday, managed to get 7 innings out of him. Need more starts like that moving forward. Would be nice if we get a 5+ WAR season out of him, which is definitely possible.

    We had a lot of Rays fanboys on this board a while ago haha.

    Most come down from Manitoba and Saskatchewan. There were a lot in Minny when I went last June. Great to see!

    Agreed. When Kirk gets back, do you think the Jays keep Heiny around or they roll with Valenzuela as the backup?

    Haha load management? Not sure if there are any studies about that, but you bring up an interesting point. During the MLB Postseason, there were always off-days in between home/away games, so yeah Vladdy was only playing maybe like 4-5 times per week.

    It’s baseball. Nobody is saying the Rockies, White Sox, or Twins can’t beat the Jays, but going 2–8 against those teams was still really disappointing. Even if they had just gone 5–5, it wouldn’t have been ideal, but it also wouldn’t have been nearly as bad, and we’d be looking at a 17–14 record instead. I don’t really get why some people get so angry or triggered when you point out that going 2–8 against those teams was disappointing.

    Yeah, we can’t expect a complete repeat of last season, even though some people still seem fixated on it. I agree with everything else you said. The AL doesn’t look especially strong right now, so this slow start may not hurt the Jays as much as we originally thought. That said, I do expect some of the other AL teams - like the Mariners, Tigers, Rangers, and Orioles - to start playing better. The Jays will have to do the same and get rolling again.

    Yeah it was pretty clear they were targeting another big bat during the offseason, so even this FO know's they probably need another legit bat at some point. I mean, not sure there was even a Plan B available after Tucker unless we're talking about Bo or Bregman. Alonso really never fit this roster (and he signed early anyways) and Suarez needed to DH. Maybe Ketel Marte was a Plan B via trade, but never happened.

    No kidding. The point isn’t that losses count against you - obviously they do every year. The point is which losses. Going 2–8 against teams like the Rockies, White Sox, and Twins is exactly how you can potentially bury yourself over a season. Those are the games good teams are supposed to win more often than not.
  13. jaysblue
    Have you actually watched any other Blue Jays games this season? 😂 Nobody is arguing that the Jays aren’t a good defensive team, but they haven’t been nearly as sharp defensively as they were last season. They’re still very good overall, but there have been some sloppy mistakes this year that we really didn’t see as often last season, and a few of them have cost them games.
  14. jaysblue
    It has before - like back in 2021. I know that triggers you. The performances against the Rockies, White Sox, and Twins were extremely disappointing, especially considering they’re three of the worst teams in baseball. Obviously, you’re not going to win every game against them, but going a combined 2–8 against that group is unacceptable. No sugar-coating it.
  15. jaysblue
    We need our SS to also cover some 3B as well haha.

    This could come back and haunt the Jays in September if they miss the division by a game or two. Need to beat up on the bad teams, or at least go .500 against them worst case lol. Sucks we ran into the Rockies and White Sox when they were actually a bit hot haha.
  17. jaysblue
    I don't think it's a repeat of anything. Every baseball season is different. It's tough to run it back with the same main group of guys and expect the exact same results. This Jays team still may end up winning the division or grab a WC spot, but it won't follow the same script as 2025. This team you can already tell is different with some new and different strengths and weaknesses in comparison to the 2025 team.
  18. jaysblue
    I know it's only a month in, but this team defensively hasn't been as sharp as they were last season. Just from the eye test.
  19. jaysblue
    Yup. I doubt Toronto fans would pack an outdoor ballpark if it was 9 degrees or colder out and with the Leafs and Raptors both playing a Game 6 at home lets say 😂
  20. jaysblue
    There's also a Timberwolves home game tonight at 9:30 PM EST.
  21. jaysblue
    Neither was I haha
  22. jaysblue
    Yeah crazy! If he has a month where he can hit 10 HR's, watch out!
  23. jaysblue
    Not sure I would pay Mark Grace $500M haha. Vlady's power stroke should start heating up as the weather warms up. His other numbers have been spectacular thus far. If Vladdy could settle in as a guy who consistently hits .300+/.900-1.000 OPS with 30 HR's with 5-6 WAR, I'll take that for the majority of his contract. The scary thing is, Vlad oozes of talent and could even be better given his offensive skillset. Like he has the talent to be a 10 WAR type of player.
  24. jaysblue
    Would he still want to play in New York though? Yankees fans can be tough as well. Likely will be an opening at 2B since I doubt Jazz is brought back haha. I think he would sign somewhere where he can slide under the radar - maybe like Texas or even Southern California (with the Angels or Dodgers).
  25. jaysblue
    Yeah they have an intriguing young core of positional players. Walker finally breaking out and Wetherholt has been heating up. Pitching wise, they need help. A lot of prominent posters on this message board back in the day were in love with the Cardinals front office.
