  1. Moreno would have got to second haha
  2. It's crazy that everyone in the Rays lineup are having career years offensively at their ages. It's not like some of these guys are highly touted elite prospects who are 24 or 25. A lot of them are in their late 20's, early 30's and had no previous success at this kind of level. It's not just Yandy Diaz or Randy Arozarena or Wander Franco. Sure one breakout from a player happens every so often, but its a majority of the lineup. Harold Ramiez, Issac Paredes, Taylor Walls, Jose Siri, Luke Raley etc. Josh Lowe's numbers even have been elite. One thing I notice is the power numbers of all these players have improved greatly from their previous years. The Rays are hitting more home runs. Yandy Diaz in the ninth inning yesterday turned on a ball so hard he almost hit it out but just went foul. They definitely are hitting the ball harder or crushing pitches that are more in the middle of the plate. Do they know which pitch is coming? Not sure. But to have every bat in their lineup click all at the same time as they are two months into the season is something you rarely see in baseball.
  3. I shouldn't have dropped him in the LOD
  4. Yeah same with Tampa like you said. A lot of their elite pitchers they develop and have under control never really continue to put up elite numbers long term with their new teams. David Price - was great for just 2.5 years after he was traded. (2014-2016). Blake Snell - hasn't been anything special with the Padres but he's been decent. Not looking good this season though. Chris Archer - turned into a pumpkin after being traded. I wouldn't want to be the team that trades a boatload for Shane McClanahan two-three years from now.
  5. I'll go with Belt today
  6. Since the meeting, the Blue Jays are 1-0.
  7. Pretty much majority of the lineup lol.
  8. Hope the Blue Jays can sweep the Twins! Lets go!
  9. Got to move Springer down in the lineup, same with Varsho. Send Manoah down to AAA or place him on the IL.
  10. Yup. They do near the end of their tenure with the Tribe and get traded before they become worthless. Even earlier, Fausto Carmona haha. I think Shane Bieber gets traded either at the deadline or offseason. He doesn't seem as elite anymore but I'm sure they'll get an amazing package for him.
  11. Blue Jays should pick him up in case one of Kirk or Jansen hit the IL.
  12. So that guy on MLB Network was right all along.
  13. Yeah I think it's a bit of both. Also I think none of us or the front office expected the AL East to be this good. A lot of us thought Boston was only going to win 70 something games, and the Orioles were going to be maybe an 85 win team because they never made any big additions. Yankees didn't look like they were going to be as elite but they still were going to be good. Rays probably along the same lines as last season 90 something win team instead of what they're on pace for this season.
  14. Shapiro from a business perspective has been one of the best Presidents this team has had. Blue Jays are definitely generating a lot of money and he's made huge upgrades to the in-game experience which will pay dividends, even if this team on the field is just mediocre. I think Shapiro definitely has his eyes sets on being the next commissioner. He definitely has the resume for it and would do a great job!
  15. Should have Elon Musk build one. Imagine the rotation and bullpen the Jays could have!
  16. Jays should have signed Gary Sanchez.
  17. Shapiro and Atkins can bring back the 2014 Kluber. Especially with the state of the art pitching lab the Jays have in Dunedin!
  18. The Blue Jays need you. Ross Atkins is going to be giving you a call shortly.
  19. If Gurriel wins NL MVP and Moreno wins a batting title, the Hurl will go streaking at the Rogers Centre.
  20. I wouldn't consider the Rangers or the Orioles World Series contenders at this moment in time. If they make the Postseason, sure they can go on a run like we saw the Phillies did last Postseason, so anything could happen. I maybe only consider 4 - 5 teams World Series contenders (Braves, Dodgers, Astros, Rays) but even still they could all get knocked out in the DS or CS.
  21. Blue Jays should trade for Kluber. Shapiro and Atkins are familiar with him.

    NHL Thread

    Too bad the Leafs don't have that kind of guy. I thought Marner could have been that guy.
  23. I forgot to make my pick. I'll take Bo for today!
  24. Trade for Conforto or Pederson at the trade deadline.
