    Josh Towers 2006 numbers right there.

    Not as much as they did, but its still a small factor. If Gerrit Cole or Shane McClanahan both go like 18-4 or win 20 games and with low ERAs and solid K rates, along if their teams make the Postseason, they'll get recognized and would be close. If Gausman goes 15-8 lets say, with a mid 2ish ERA over 200 innings and 250 K's, he should be good. Cole's K numbers (9.49) and walk rate (3.16) are pretty meh so far. His FIP is close to 4 as well. McClanahan needs to keep his ERA in the 2's and he's 9-1 thus far. Though he has had durability issues in the past so I doubt he even tops 200 innings this season. Hopefully Gausman gets the recognition. He's doubled both Cole and McClanahan now in WAR at 3.1 vs. 1.5 for them.

    I'll go with Belt today

    Yeah just gotta hope Gausman improves on his W-L record, and I think he should be good. McClanahan has been a guy who slows down in the second half and has had some injuries before. Cole despite the 7-0 record hasn't been nearly as good as Gausman, but playing with the Yankees gives him a bit of an advantage.

    Semien 3.2 WAR leads all of baseball.
  7. jaysblue
    Yoshida: 1 WAR Hunter Brown: 1.9 WAR Yoshida likely will get the votes. No denying his bat has been amazing thus far.

    $10 pays $150 when I made the bet. He's now 9 to 1 which is pretty good.

    Power numbers are alarming. A lot of these guys are hitting for way more power than their career norms.
  11. jaysblue
    What were they doing? I also find it surprising everyone in their lineup are having career years as well.
  12. jaysblue
    Judge for the most part has been healthy for his career. Donaldson is how old now? Have to expect that.
  13. jaysblue
    Supposed to be worse tomorrow.
  14. jaysblue
    Manoah is worse than Stroman.
  15. jaysblue
    3 or 4 pts should be offered on Vladdy.
  16. jaysblue
    I'm gonna keep my Gausman Cy Young bet. He's been the best pitcher in the AL.
  17. jaysblue
    Pitching lab isn't working!
  18. jaysblue
    If Alex Manoah was pitching like David Wells, nobody would be complaining about his weight.
  19. jaysblue
    Unbelievable.

    Everyone in the Jays rotation has stayed healthy but that doesn't mean they're not playing on thin ice. Like Carlos said, Kikuchi was more of a question mark heading into this season as the No. 5 starter and lets not forget how some people wrote off Berrios after his poor 2022 season. Manoah, who was supposed to be a No. 2 guy is now out of the rotation and was hurting this team more than helping this season. He regressed more than anyone on here thought he would. Kikuchi is still a wildcard IMO but so far he's holding more than his own but he could also become a dumpster fire anytime. Gausman, Bassitt and Berrios have been rock solid. Berrios returning to his previous form has been so important and it doesn't get discussed enough. Injuries can happen with any pitcher or even a freak injury. Gausman/Bassitt and Berrios are holding this rotation together. If one of those cards fall, it could get ugly.

    Rangers pretty much went on this run without deGrom in the rotation some people forget. I think they can hold their own. Might not hold onto the division but still should be a decent team contending for a Wild Card.
  22. jaysblue
    BTS give me Nolan Arenado back.
  23. jaysblue
    Dane Dunning, who replaced deGrom has a 1.2 WAR so far.
  24. jaysblue
    Lowball Manoah offers coming in the LOD!
  25. jaysblue
    Yup, in 2006 the Jays put together a real good team despite being in a tough AL East when the Yankees and Red Sox were dominating and at the time when there was only one WC team. They won 87 games that season, but like you said, running Towers out there definitely cost them a lot of games. Even Chacin wasn't that good in 2006. They were 8.0 GB of the Detroit Tigers for the Wild Card. White Sox and Angels were ahead of them. Would be a shame if the Jays win 87 or 88 games this season, though fall short of a Wild Card because of the way Alex Manoah pitched. Could be the difference between the Jays making and not making the Postseason.
