  1. Agree 100% with this.
  2. Gausman hasn't been pitching that well lately, but hope he has a big game tonight and turns it around.
  3. Maybe next offseason, the Jays target players in better shape!
  4. There is nothing wrong in questioning if Atkins could have done a better job during the offseason in improving the teams defense without sacrificing that much offense. Yes most of the blame lays on the players, but Atkins put this team together at the end of the day. He owns some of it. As for the deadline, there were definitely bats available. Don't make it seem like there weren't any. As well, the Jays could have addressed the issue earlier before the deadline if they wanted to, but meh.
  5. Could have Atkins done a better job at improving the defense without sacrificing too much on offense? Definitely a question we could ask given the struggles offensively this season. I was a fan of the moves he made last offseason but when looking back, was there anything different he could have done? As well, could have he addressed the issue better before and at the trade deadline by acquiring another bat or two? Manoah wasn't the ace last season FYI. It was Gausman.
  6. That Harper HR ruined his chances of lowering his ERA below 3.50 most likely haha. Acuna possibly going 40/70 which is crazy. One of the most exciting players in the game. Him and Ohtani IMO are the face of baseball right now.
  7. If he gets to 20 wins, I think he has to be a lock amongst the old school voters over Snell.
  8. Yeah nobody is a lock. Things could still go down to each of these guys last couple starts of the year. Strider has the impressive W-L record and K's on his side. Snell has the low ERA and solid K rates.
  9. You're only saying he'll win because he just became the favourite over the last week or two. He's not a lock by any means.
  10. Not a fan of the high walk total. He could likely finish the season with 100 BB. Strider and Wheeler have had the better seasons IMO. Just their ERAs are on high side.
  11. Cole would get my vote in the AL now over Gausman. I can't see Snell winning given his other numbers like his WAR and xFIP aren't nearly as good as Strider or Wheeler, but voters might like his low ERA. Plus his BB/9 is above 5 which is yuck.
  12. We posted at the same time. Good one!
  13. Sept 19 (7:05pm) Bichette - 1 Point - Vladdy - 1 Point - Springer - 2 Points - Schneider - 2 Points - Varsho - 4 Points Chapman - 4 Points - Kirk - 5 Points - Biggio - 5 Points - JaysAllMighty, JaysBlue Kiermaier - 7 Points - Off the bench: 10 Points -
  14. Luckily he has that short porch in RF!

    NFL Thread

    Hope he's not out for too long. Was hoping the Browns could go 2-0. Too many turnovers in that second half and boneheaded special teams plays.
  16. Crazy to think of that. Not sure how some of the old school voters will react. If Strider has another 3 more starts where he dominates, he could lower his ERA below 3.50 which I think would make him the lock in the NL. Snell hasn't been nearly as good and his BB/9 is like above 5.
  17. I think Gausman blew his chance at the AL Cy Young with the last couple of outings he's had. Not sure voters will love the meh 11-9 record and 3.40 ERA when Cole is 13-4 with a 2.81 ERA and who has pitched better as of late.
  18. Bring Joey Votto home to the Six!
  19. Snell is actually the favourite on Bet365 under 2 to 1 odds last time I checked which is ridiculous. Steele is second favourite. Strider was 101 to 1, so I put $5 on him. Would vote for Strider as well. He has the W-L record going for him, and leads the NL in K's. His xFIP and WAR as well are better than Gallen, Wheeler and Snell.
  20. Wasn't the AL West a strong division a week ago when you had all three of the Astros, Mariners and Rangers in playoff spots? I don't think there is a perfect solution. We've been saying if the Jays were in a different division they would be dominating since the early 2000s. I remember during that decade, you had the Yankees and Red Sox dominating. Other teams like the Rays and Orioles have showed that they could win the division and be contenders.
  21. College football down in Florida is huge, even bigger than the NFL. Like you said, you have a lot of sports teams in one area. Plus college football and NFL take priority over other spots like hockey, basketball and baseball. The Lightning do well because they've been a winning team pretty much for the last decade and the arena is downtown Tampa close to the waterfront. A lot of great bars and restaurants nearby as well. The Panthers play in the middle of nowhere. It's like a good 60 min drive from Miami or even 25-30 mins from Fort Lauderdale. The arena is like on the outskirts, so far away from the coast.
  22. Nashville
  23. Summer months in Florida from May to August can be brutal in terms of humidity, storms, hurricanes etc. Summer in Florida is definitely their low season in terms of tourists.
