That 2015 team had a great chance at winning the World Series that year after the trades AA made at the deadline. Offensively, that was one of the best lineups we've seen.

AL Beasts of the East - Division Race '23

Even with their struggles, it won't impact them in the standings. They banked a lot of wins early and as they go through this tough stretch, won't impact them one bit. -
I'll take Jansen for Game 2 or do our Game 1 picks carry over?
-
Yeah saw the highlights. Was carted off the field but he gave thumbs up so glad he was conscious at least. Hope he's alright.
-
I'll stay up for the game tonight. Going to drink a whiskey and have a cigar on my patio while watching the game!

How's the pizza in Chicago?
-
Jays will play tonight, rain or shine!
-
In Toronto haha
-
f*** its sunny here!
-
My bad. Admit my mistake.
-
Yeah Merrifield has been solid this season. Last season he really didn't make much of a difference down the stretch or in the Postseason was the point I was trying to make.
-
Bass wasn't all that good while here and he was chased out with pitch forks last month. Pop definitely has some nice potential long term, but didn't make a huge impact last season and really hasn't this season. Merrifield last season didn't do much, but this season he definitely has been a really solid contributor.

Not necessarily but usually the standings at the end of June or beginning of July are a good indicator on the kind of team you have. Orioles likely will be in contention for one of those 3 WC spots or maybe miss out by a couple of games. They're not going to be below .500 this season. So yeah so far the Orioles have been the better team and have actually dominated the Jays so far in their matchups. Jays could definitely surpass them in the standings come the end of the season, not denying that. Though to walk around here all confident saying that the Jays are a much better team when they're 4 GB the Orioles approaching the All-Star Break, I mean the Blue Jays need to start playing better in order for that to happen.

I'm going to pretend Toronto is leading the AL East right now since if they went 12-1 instead of 1-12 vs. Baltimore and Boston.
-
Good point.
-
Agreed. They could have went 1-12 against two other teams as well, so regardless. This team needs to start playing better period if they want to make the Postseason. So far, given the talent on this team, they've been a disappointment.

I bet on the Jays money line tonight. I encourage everyone to do the same! Go Jays Go!!!!
-
I mean last trade deadline all the Jays had to show for was Anthony Bass, Zach Pop, Whit Merrifield and Mitch White!
-
LMAO they are. Look at the standings.
-
Gausman came up with the Orioles haha, doubt they would have brought him back. But yeah, better than saying they missed out Bassitt so will give you that one haha
-
Their long term outlook looks very promising with the young core of positional players they have. I don't see why that is an issue or the problem with saying that.
-
I mean would have Bassitt really moved the needle for them? So far Gibson has had a better season, plus they aren't on the hook for 21M per season with Bassitt for 2024 and 2025. Orioles really needed to sign or trade for an ace/No. 2 starter.
-
Gibson has given up 5, 6 and 4 ER in his last three starts. Coming against Seattle, a really hot Cincy team and the Yankees. He still has almost double the WAR at 1.5 than Bassitt does 0.8 up to this point. 4.05 FIP as well so his ERA should finish closer to 4. Bassitt's FIP is 4.84 currently. So even with the bad stretch by Gibson, he's been the more valuable arm in the first half. Not fanboying him at all, but on a one-year contract he was a solid signing. Orioles should have got more pitching though no doubt. Gibson obviously wasn't enough lol.
