    Given the Jays looking to contend, putting Manoah on the mound every 5th day and waiting till he figures it out is hurting them more than helping. As well, if you say its a confidence issue, let him go to AAA and have some dominant outings. Might help him when he gets back up here. Otherwise, he is hurting the Jays more than helping and the goal should be to get him right to being a No. 2/3 starter again. I'm sure the Jays could use an opener for a couple turns then go with Richards or Pearson to follow afterwards.

    A Big Mac combo used to be like $6.99 about 10 years ago. Now any combo at McDonalds is over $10.

    I'm shocked they're still around. For chain restaurants, Joey's and Earl's are the best for drinks and small bites IMO. Haven't been to Cactus Club in a while, but they're more upper scale but pretty decent. If you want a nice meal, the Keg is still very solid.

    Defensively, he provides no value at all. Offensively, he still has solid K/BB ratios (.341 OBP despite a .226 BA). Needs to be an .800 OPS or better bat to at least be productive.

    It would just be better to send Manoah down to work things out and hope he can return after the All Star break. In the long term, Jays are a better team if they can get Manoah back to being a 2/3 starter. I don't think Manoah's replacement would be any worse right now. Heck, even use an opener and a bulk reliever if you have to when it's Manoah's turn in the rotation for a couple of weeks.

    Budweiser cares so much about their ESG score! As do most big companies these days! They're not pulling out lol. They would be crazy to do so!

    Julio Teheran had his magic working tonight!
  9. jaysblue
    Nah, Shapiro did publicly criticize him for gutting the farm and wasn't going to give AA the full autonomy he wanted.

    Posey will be a first balloter IMO. It might take Martin a couple of years obviously, but he definitely is worthy of being in the Hall.

    Boston Pizza doesn't even know what it is. Is it a pizza place? Sports bar? Family restaurant? Italian restaurant?

    I'm changing my HR pick now haha.

    I don't think Teheran has ever pitched well at the Rogers Centre anyway. Take the over on runs for today.
  14. jaysblue
    Unbelievable the Rays are hitting on all these bats. I understand one or two breakouts, but it's almost their entire lineup this season.
  15. jaysblue
    So should Manoah lol.

    Mauer also never spent his entire career as a catcher. He moved to 1B and DH after, so that could go against him. As well, he never won a World Series and had durability issues. Guys like McCann, Posey, and Martin played behind the plate until they retired. Same with Posada. There is case to be made that Mauer could be in the HOF. He put together some great seasons and was one of the best pure hitters in baseball when healthy. John Olerud I think deserves a place in the HOF if Mauer does but he only played 1B/DH. Though he did win two World Series and had two 8.1 WAR seasons.

    The Fort Myers Mighty Mussels were playing the Dunedin Jays last weekend haha. Yeah there are so many great minor league/Spring Training ballparks in Florida, all within a close distance. Great for family excursions and won't break the bank at all in comparison to seeing some MLB games.

    Yeah true but you risk the possibility of losing the current market share that business already has. Pretty much in the US based on the popular votes of Presidential Elections - you have around 55% who lean Democrat and 45% who lean Republican. Those numbers could vary every election but for the most part are around those figures. So pretty much almost split down the middle. Now of the 45% who vote or identify as Republicans, how many of them would take offense to some of these companies is the question? I'm sure majority of that 45% don't really care but lets say 10-15% do, well those companies lose a lot of market share regardless if that's the case.

    I didn't go on Thursday but yeah it's probably Bud Light or something haha. They did have a wide selection of other beers at the ballpark though. Beers were like $6-7 I recall. Dunedin and the whole Clearwater area have so many craft breweries all around. It's really cool.
  22. jaysblue
    Yeah definitely want to go down one spring to see the Jays at Spring Training. Dunedin is a really great town. Can also see the Phillies Single A team in Clearwater which is like 15 mins from TD Ballpark. Definitely want to visit some more minor league ballparks this summer, like some Double A or Triple A parks in the northeast.

    From what I've read on why a lot more companies and corporations are going woke is that because it helps with their ESG score. According to Google an ESG score "is a measure of how well a company addresses risks with respect to environmental, social, and governance issues in its day-to-day work and operations." It pretty much is a social credit system for major companies and corporations. Here is a link that further explains what an ESG score is: https://www.sganalytics.com/blog/what-is-esg-score-and-how-is-it-calculated/ Other interesting read as well how ESG scores are tied with the UN Sustainable Development Goals 2030 and how over 250 of the worlds largest companies are on board: https://corpgov.law.harvard.edu/2018/10/04/un-sustainable-development-goals-the-leading-esg-framework-for-large-companies/

    Pretty much agree with the AL. All those players are deserving. J.D. Davis in the NL for 3B is shocking, though he's having a good season. Guys like Arenado and Machado haven't been themselves. Riley has cooled down. Shocked Muncy isn't at the top in votes considering he plays in LA. Still some time to change though.
  25. jaysblue
    I was never a fan of Tim Anderson. High contact skills but awful OBP skills. Guy would hit over .300 and still only have an OBP in the .330s lol.
