Politics shouldn't be discussed or infused in sports in the first place.

Yeah because the posters saying that about the Rangers and Orioles are huge Jays homers. It's ironic how if the Jays were playing as well as the Orioles and Rangers, those same posters would be on cloud nine thinking it was legit, yet when the Orioles or Rangers are playing well, nah they're awful and they suck. But when the Blue Jays are playing awful, nah its still early and just bad luck or its been a tough schedule!

Carlos Rodon making his second rehab start. Could be back early July if everything goes right.

No hard feelings or grudges against Max Silver and Brownie. They seem like nice guys. I might disagree with them on some things baseball related but that's part of being on a message board. Max Silver is an ultimate cherry picker and Brownie is an ultimate homer. Saying it as it is. My thoughts on the Blue Jays have been sour over the last couple of weeks and for obvious reason. This team has been frustrating to watch given the talent and expectations set on this team at the beginning of the year. As a fan, yeah I'm upset this team hasn't been better. We all were sold this team was a World Series contender and they haven't played like one yet. I am critical of some of the decisions made by the FO over the years and as well as certain players. At the same time I've praised many decisions made by the FO and have praised many players as well. My criticisms have been rational and I'm not a poster who trolls in the GDT's complaining nonstop 24/7. Though I'm treated that way for some reason. Regardless, if the Jays are winning and playing better, there are probably less fights and disagreements on here. At the end of the day, we all want the Jays to succeed and win a World Series, so we're all on the same team. I'm sick of posters trying to show up other posters by trying to prove they were right/wrong (e.g. with the Moreno/Varsho trade etc). Glad the Jays took 2 of 3 against the Marlins and hope they can get on a nice roll before the All-Star break! Go Jays Go!

I've come to the conclusion that you're the worst poster on this message board. I can't stand you to be honest. I've never seen someone get so pissy and upset when someone criticizes this team. You're such a huge tool who can't even have civil discussion when it comes to baseball! You need to calm the f*** down and accept others criticizing this team and FO on occasion. Rather than always be in attack mode and trying to act like a smart ass. I've been posting on this board for two decades and I've never got into a beef with anyone which tells you I'm a pretty rational guy. But you over the last year have been insufferable!

Lmao where did I ever say the Jays should fire the GM, fire the manager, fire Shapiro or fire the mascot? I'm actually pretty rational when it comes to my criticism of this team, yet you treat me like I'm a troll in the GDT! So yeah if you're going to disrespect me like that, I'm going to defend myself and call you out!

Should I kiss the ass of every Jays player and member of the FO as Brownie and max silver do?

Lmao look at whose talking, the guy who cherry picks every stat! Blue Jays against non Boston or Baltimore teams have this record and against sub. 500 teams have a .700 winning percentage. Kirk for two weeks in May has a 120 wRC! You're the biggest Cherry Picker on this board and your posts are laughable! Keep sipping the Wilner kool aid!

I'm not miserable at all FFS! I'm being a realist. I can't believe you guys get so worked up and pissy when someone criticizes this team. You and Brownie are two of the biggest homers out there!

I'm busting his chops geez. Manoah likely will come back as a No. 3 starter at some point when he figures things out, whether its later this season or next. I know Vlad isn't this bad and still has time to turn it around at 24. Hopefully he starts to hit for more pop or else he's just a Lyle Overbay/James Loney type of bat. Chapman is a solid player and likely will get a contract close to $200 million as a free agent. He should still be good for 4-5 WAR this season.

Just Because.

This is one of the best FO's in baseball. Ross Atkins is a genius and will turn this ship around. The Jays have a winning record under John Schneider, so why would they fire him? This FO put together a World Series contender and they're going to start playing like one at some point! It's still early so a lot of time to turn things around. It's only the first day of summer and we have 3+ months of baseball left to played. With a super easy schedule the rest of the way, this Blue Jays team will make up some ground and win the division.

Manoah was an ace last season. He's too young and too good to be this awful. He's coming back as the Jays No. 1 starter in no time. Chapman is going to get a $200M contract this offseason. He's a former 6 WAR player. Vladdy will reach a 150 wRC+ by the end of the season. He's one of the best young talented hitters in the game and is only two years removed from his 2021 season. Jays better lock him up now for $300 million!

I don't think the Jays will be 10 games back of the third WC spot. Hopefully they're in one of the WC spots come trade deadline and this team adds to make some upgrades.

Yeah you make a good point. I bet a majority of baseball players and coaches agree with these guys. More than other leagues for sure.

Blue Jays should sign him.

Lmao. What's wrong with what Terminator said? If the Jays don't make a run they likely try to sell off veterans or players on expiring contracts like Chapman, Kiermaier, Whit and Belt and some relievers. Doubt they trade guys who are still under club control like Gausman, Vladdy, Bo, Berrios, Kirk, Varsho etc. Again still a lot of time until the trade deadline and the Jays could turn things around, but geez he's just talking about a possible scenario and you're getting all pissy as usual.

You have your hot streaks and cold streaks.

You're bad luck.

Suns want to trade him?

Is Grant still alive?

I'm definitely down for that. High upside arm to roll the dice on.

Marlins are probably the best trade partner for Vlad now since Kim Ng is running the show! Great analysis Terminator!

Kiermaier today
