    Wonder if Chapman will get a multi-year deal or sign a 1-year contract to build up value again given his struggles since April? If he's open to a 1-year, would reconsider re-signing him for sure. He probably lost out on a big $180-200M deal he was primed to get.

    I'm definitely on board with a lot of these things. I said before the Jays might need to shakeup their core and make tough decisions, but was blasted by some for it. Would love Joey Votto as a part-time DH/bench bat. Think he could still offer something. Donaldson as well at 3B who is vocal and would speak up in the dugout if he saw BS. Hitting well in a small sample size with the Brewers. Schneider and his coaching staff should be gone, outside from Pete Walker. Schneider has the appearance of an Alpha but is still a beta manager like Charlie. No fire whatsoever. As for Atkins, like you couldn't care if he's back or gone. Don't think everything should be blamed on him, but he does own some of what happened and when you look at the big picture since he's been here, he's made some great roster moves but unable to translate that into Postseason success. Keep him on a short leash in 2024. If the team gets off to a bad start again, he should be gone.

    He needs to finish the 100 level infield club still.

    Just some bad luck against teams like Baltimore and Boston. If the Jays were .500 against those team, they're sitting in a WC spot comfortably. Just a lot of bad luck that even the projections got wrong. If the Jays had better luck on their side, we wouldn't even be having this conversation. It's crazy how baseball works.

    Did a Rays and Eagles parlay, so at least I ended up breaking even after my Jays bets.

    Yeah I thought at home with Gausman on the mound and Eovaldi not 100% yet, Jays would avoid the sweep at home. The team I never bet against is Atlanta. When you get good odds on them like a 1.70 or 1.80 against a good team, take them. Won $100 the other day betting ATL win and Strider for 7 K's.

    A lot of fans were cheering through the downs for most of the year. Since the season is winding down, it's panic and frustration!
  8. jaysblue
    Lmao you're hilarious!
  9. jaysblue
    I'm sure if you walk around the Danforth.

    I took it for a test drive. Electric vehicles suck. Purchased a regular 2024 Mustang instead, which is a real sports car. Hoping I could get it next month.
  11. jaysblue
    Never betting the Jays again. If I bet the Rangers tonight, Jays would be winning!

    I bring up AA because he doesn't get enough respect on here I find, but some posters like Brownie, Max & others are pretty homerish on Atkins and this FO when the results so far haven't been any better. That's their opinion though, so nothing against them even if we disagree. Good and fun to debate with them. At the end of the day, we all want the Jays to go on a deep Postseason run and win the World Series. If Atkins can bring that home here, I'll be more than happy and give him the credit/praise he deserves!

    Merrifield with the bat hasn't been that great lately.
  14. jaysblue
    Pull the ball Chapman!
  15. jaysblue
    Meh his bat has really cooled down and defensively he's nothing special. Still has had a solid year for the Jays. Not sure I would want to bring him back at $12M per season with the emergence of Schneider now.
  16. jaysblue
    Damn Merrifield had that. Geez. Varsho would have caught it.
  17. jaysblue
    Why did Gaus cut his hair?
  18. jaysblue
    The Rogers Centre looks more crowded tonight than the first three games. Probably cuz it's a Thursday. People in Toronto want to start the weekend early!
  19. jaysblue
    Also taking a risk with my betting account. Bet the Jays in a couple of parlay's. Hope they win and Gausman gets 6Ks!
  20. jaysblue
    He is capable of doing that all season. Geez maybe those boo's last night lit a fire under him!
  21. jaysblue
    Vlad crushed that. Do it again next AB!
  22. jaysblue
    Schneider too scared
  23. jaysblue
    It's not over yet. If the Jays win, will be 0.5 GB. Still in this, but time is running short and some players need to wake up!!!

    All I've been saying is that Atkin's tenure has been subpar when you look at the bigger picture. Yes he's put together competitive teams since 2021 (or 2020), but the end results have fell short of expectations. He hasn't taken this team to the next level. And we're already on Year 3 or 4 and as every year passes, that window closes more. I hope the Jays could squeak into the Postseason and see what they could do with their strong pitching staff and defense. Even if they miss out on the Postseason, I would give Atkins another crack at it, but also wouldn't be crying if he was let go and Crick was hired.

    Yeah there could, but right now there isn't unless someone has a huge breakout in the minors next season or the Jays draft a stud in the prospect draft who is close to MLB ready. I know Bo can be retained, but he's a big piece and that would tie up a lot of money for the next decade pretty much. If the Jays let him walk, it's likely because he's too much money and because the team underachieved in 2024 and 2025. I'm not crazy about giving Bo $30M per season over 8 or 9 years anyways. He could end up like Javier Baez or worse Tim Anderson. Ideally, would have best to sign him to an extension after 2021. Springer is a FA after 2026. Bassitt after 2025. I love Kevin Gausman, though reality is he might start to have some regression as he ages. It's a shame the Jays haven't taken advantage of what Gausman has done over the last two years here. He's been one of the best pitchers in baseball. I still think Gausman could pitch at a high level, but can't take what he's done for granted and think its automatic year to year moving forward. Ironic how AA was criticized for having an aging expensive team, yet Atkins when his time here is done likely has the same thing.
