    If the Jays are to be World Series contenders like some posters think they are, Berrios needs to pitch like a front of the rotation arm or else...

    I know the bullpen has taken a lot of heat. The FO added Pop and Bass which were solid adds at the deadline, though this team will struggle to close out close games to teams like the Astros, Yankees, Mariners, Twins, Rays in a Postseason series. It's going to be an edge of your seat thrill ride every game. Garcia has been solid and has held his own this season, so I'll give him a mulligan on tonight.

    The ironic thing is the Orioles aren't even trying to make the Postseason haha. Jays will come out tomorrow strong and avoid the sweep!

    JBJ's career numbers at Rogers Centre and Yankee Stadium are very disappointing.

    Epsinal hasn't been hitting that well anyways, so platooning them isn't a bad thing.
  6. jaysblue
    We should make more lists. They're fun!

    JBJ is a small upgrade over Zimmer at least with the bat. He has some Postseason experience as well. JBJ will be the ALCS MVP. You heard it here first!

    I'll give you Roark having a better track record of success than Matz, though Roark was not a better pitcher than Robbie Ray moving forward and the advanced metrics support that. When the Blue Jays signed Roark, he was a 33-year-old durable innings eater for his entire career in the NL East and on the downwind of his career. I don't think the Blue Jays or any poster on here expected Roark to be a No. 1 or 2 starter. He was brought in for his durability and innings more than anything given the teams lack of MLB ready starting pitchers. Ray showed glimpses of ace potential with Arizona and put together some very good seasons with the D'Backs. Ray was only 28 when the Blue Jays traded for him as well. Roark had some solid years with the Nats early in his career for sure. His numbers weren't anything sexy and he was a solid 2-3 WAR pitcher. A lot of his value was tied into his innings. Otherwise, a career 7.29 K% and 4.24 xFIP. I think Roark could have been a valuable arm no doubt as an innings eater, though that never worked out. Regardless not losing any sleep over the signing.

    Roark and Kikuchi never had the previous success like Ray and Matz did.

    Ray had some really good seasons with Arizona before he came to Toronto. I don't think the 2021 Ray was any different from the Ray in 2016/2017 for example. He hit a rough patch in 2020 and the Jays helped him back on the right track. Matz was always a decent No. 4-5 starter with the Mets and who had some untapped potential. Injuries were always his concern.

    Damnit that sucks from a fantasy baseball perspective in terms of Carpenter.

    Outside of the bullpen, I think player to player and the top of the starting rotation is fairly even to the 2015 team. The seasons Vlad and Bo has last season would definitely help. The 2015 team did have an MVP season from Josh Donaldson, and both Jose Bautista and Edwin had monster years as well. Gausman leads all MLB pitchers in WAR.

    I like this idea a lot. Would love to see the Blue Jays try that with him. It's a good strategy.
  14. jaysblue
    I think Romano definitely is in the 15-20 range of closers.
  15. jaysblue
    Where did I say Kimbrel was easily ahead? I mentioned that list was in no particular order. Regardless Kimbrel has been better this season (1.0 WAR, 12.46 K/9, 2.14 FIP) and it's one of his down years.
  16. jaysblue
    I know that. My statement was made towards the posters on here who panic too easily.
  17. jaysblue
    So its possible.
  18. jaysblue
    It's so hilarious. One day the Blue Jays are unstoppable and are World Series contenders when they blowout a team 10-0, and the next day they're huge disappointments. Make up your mind people.
  19. jaysblue
    He's not a Top 10 closer. I could name 10 closers or more easily ahead of him this season (in no particular order): Diaz Kimbrel Hendricks Jansen Hader Helsley Devin Williams (now) Clase Bednar Lopez Holmes Bautista (now) Iglesias Dorval Romano has done a solid job and held his own, but to say he's been a Top 10 closer is a little homerish.

    How many games did the Blue Jays make up on the Yankees in 2015?
  21. jaysblue
    If the Blue Jays hold the top Wildcard likely will play either Seattle or Tampa at the Rogers Centre. I know it's still early since some teams can get hot right in September or during that last week, though who would you rather play - the Rays or Mariners?
  22. jaysblue
    I do like Toronto's first three (Gausman, Manoah and Berrios) more than the Yankees (Cole, Cortes and Montas) in a Postseason series. For the Yankees, a healthy Severino will be the key, otherwise Gerrit Cole is pretty much their only true elite starter.
  23. jaysblue
    Do we want the Mariners or Yankees to win? Either way should be a fun series.
  24. jaysblue
    Kevin Gregg. He wore goggles!

    Roberto Osuna > Jordan Romano.
