    I think so. His 2.25 ERA really stands out from guys like Strider, Gallen and Wheeler. Plus he has 234 K's. Only negative is the 99 walks. Strider has a chance at 20 wins, but his ERA at 3.81 would be the highest ever for any Cy Young winner. If he was able to lower his ERA around the 3.50 mark, to follow up with 20 wins and 274 K's, I think it would have been close. I think Strider has been the better pitcher despite what the ERA says, but the voters will go for Snell.

    World Series odds according to Bet 365: Braves - 3.50 Dodgers - 5.00 Orioles - 8.00 Rangers - 8.00 Rays - 11.00 Astros - 12.00 Phillies - 14.00 Blue Jays - 17.00 Twins - 19.00 Brewers - 21.00 Mariners - 21.00 D'Backs - 46.00 Cubs - 51.00 Marlins - 67.00 Reds - 101.00

    I don't think it hurts to go after a No. 4/5 starter for 2024. Don't think Manoah deserves the No. 5 spot after the season he had. Let him prove himself in ST and down in Buffalo first before he's given a spot. Kikuchi was awesome this season, but which type of pitcher do we get next season? As well, in case Gausman regresses a bit, or an injury happens, always good to have SP depth capable of pitching at the big league level. The more pitching the better and will be tougher to add a decent starting pitcher at the deadline anyways.

    Just need one or two of those guys to get hot in a short series.

    Joe Morgan as well.

    All the teams in the AL right now are flawed in their own ways. Don't think there is a clear cut favourite like in the NL with the Braves and Dodgers. Jays just need to get in and past the WC round. With their pitching and if the lineup improves just slightly, they could go on a run.

    Definitely have to give the team credit for bouncing back really strong after that Texas series. A lot of teams might have folded, but they came back to sweep Boston and have won 2 of 3 against the Yankees and Rays. Nice to also roll into the WC matchup playing hot like they have been. Hope the lineup can keep this up!

    Yankees lineup if they sign Ohtani and trade for Arenado or Machado 2B Torres RF Judge DH Ohtani 3B Arenado/Machado 1B Rizzo LF Stanton CF Domínguez SS Volpe C Trevino/Higashioka 1B/2B/3B/DH LeMahieu

    Yeah I don't see the Yankees rebuilding. Maybe they fire Boone and bring in a new manager. They will spend money this offseason and plan to compete again in 2024. I bet the Yankees will go hard after Ohtani and likely will trade for Arenado or Machado. The Yankees are the team that could worry me the most next season.

    Looks like Masterbather has taken over for me. Brownie and Max now have a new target.

    Dolphins beat the Broncos 70-20 lmao Broncos are the worst and most overrated team. Russell Wilson is done.

    One of the best pitchers in the game! If you get the chance to watch Kershaw live, definitely don't pass up on the opportunity. All-time greats like him don't come around that often.
  14. jaysblue
    If you have the roster space, worth taking a flier.
  15. jaysblue
    Whose call do you think it was to leave Romano in? JS or from above? For a team that relies so heavily on analytics and with a brilliant front office/analytics team that knows everything, you think they would have preferred having Mayza face Lowe in that situation.
  16. jaysblue
    Yeah decided to drop Conforto instead. Like you said, Stanton could have a season where he stays healthy and blasts 35 HR's anytime, whereas Conforto has limited upside and now looks like a platoon bat.
  17. jaysblue
    Have a safe flight mate! Enjoy some Beau's on the plane!

    Lmao Pirates came back to beat the Reds 13-12.
  19. jaysblue
    Yeah I agree, this Jays team isn't an elite team by any stretch of the imagination. They are what their record says they are right now - a borderline Wildcard/playoff team. If they get into the Postseason, they could definitely make some noise, get hot and go on a run. They have an impressive rotation and the bullpen is still very solid and deep, if used properly. Right now the goal is just to get in and go from there. 2021 was definitely the best window IMO. It's unfortunate they never were able to take advantage of that opportunity. A lot of blame could be placed on Atkins and the FO for not addressing the issues in the pen earlier.

    Needed to get a starting bat into my lineup tonight, and Conforto on the bench again against a lefty and Yankees game rained out. Don't think it will make a difference since Bailey Falter just ruined all my pitching numbers.
  21. jaysblue
    Lmao he had a stretch of 26 consecutive saves before today's game.
  22. jaysblue
    It's the fault of the players for under performing. Then some blame can be placed on the coaching staff and some can be placed on the GM/front office for putting this team together. Sure having a Felix Bautista would help in the Postseason, but is there any realistic chance the Jays could have added an arm like him at the deadline?
  23. jaysblue
    Yeah the offense has been horse s*** this season. You don't build a team from the bullpen up. You build a team starting with positional players and starting pitchers. Bullpen arms are the final pieces. When you have a World Series contending team, then you can go all out to make BP upgrades. But even then, it's not a guarantee. So far the lineup has been the huge disappointment. Even if the Jays had guys like Bautista, Diaz, Williams all in their bullpen this season, they likely aren't in the lead for the division or WC lol.
  24. jaysblue
    Even if Mariano Rivera was the Jays closer this season, they probably just have another win or two. They still would be behind the Rays for the top WC spot and Baltimore for the division. There is nothing wrong with Romano as the closer.
  25. jaysblue
    The issue with the Jays this season has been the lineup. Even if you had a Felix Bautista as a closer, doubt the Jays are leading the AL East or WC.
