Spencer Horwitz’s Steamer600 is 2.8 right now
-
Swinging at strike 3 when it is right down the middle of the plate would be a good start
-
The daily AA posts have stopped. They've turned into daily Teoscar updates.

Why does every Debbie Downer on this board just automatically assume that pessimism = “being realistic”? You can’t even have a conversation with The Masturbator because this logical fallacy is so deeply rooted in his brain that no matter what numbers, stats, facts and logic you present him he just dismisses it outright as frivolous pie in the sky thinking. And that’s not to say that being pessimistic is the wrong take. This team can be downright painful to watch and there are plenty of solid arguments to make for why this team will continue to suck. But being optimistic doesn’t necessarily make someone wrong nor does pessimism automatically make someone “realistic”.

It doesn't matter, you'll be logging on to bitch about something all the same

Part of the problem is that the players are, for the most part, slowly turning it around but fan patience and reaction naturally lags behind. The rolling xwOBA on Springer and his xStats in general are both fairly encouraging. That's not to say he's going to be a 4 WAR guy anymore but he should at least be decent. Take today, he smoked a line drive over 110 mph and it had an xBA of .890 (or something like that) but it was hit right to the SS. Then he strikes out against an effective Closer throwing 100. Look at the box score and it looks like he sucked yet again but it's not a complete picture. It's frustrating but the season is a grind. Digging yourself out of a hole, which both the players and team seem to slowly be doing, takes time. The day off followed with these 12 games against the Sox and Guardians will be pretty telling. Both of them are pretty solid teams but they aren't unbeatable. I think the Jays will play pretty well and will continue to crawl their way toward a WC spot.

We have an off day tomorrow

Oh yeah, the Debbie Downers love misconstruing an argument to create a strawman. There isn't a day that goes by where they don't use this one: "But I thought there was nothing we could do to improve the offense?"

The nightmare is over.....Craig Biggio's son is GONE

Yeah that was a little league first and third play They had it snuffed out but Kirk's throw was atrocious
-
Oh for f***'s sake. I know this is what Pop does but it's annoying when all these ground balls get through.

Family s*** can get messy. Could be true, could be a lie. The truth is probably in between. Regardless, the team should add Dante back to the dugout as our 9th hitting consultant. We were mashing the year he was here. -
So the Jays get out of some, but not all, of the salary owed to Biggio. And they get a AA lotto ticket too. The Jays have a 40-man spot to play around with as well.

Imagine telling someone in the offseason that our starting 2B and leadoff hitter would be Spencer Horwitz lol -
Yep and those career numbers are being kept afloat with what he did in his first two years. The last 4 years he has a .678 OPS.
-
Definitely fair to question Turner. I think they saw it like this. 3B was a huge gaping hole and there weren't many options out there other than Chapman. I don't think they fully trusted IKF so they thought they could throw spaghetti at the wall with IKF, a DH/3B who could play there for ~40 games, Biggio who had somewhat of a bounceback year and then the AAA guys like Barger and Orelvis. IKF is the real deal so it turns out it would have been better to sign a DH/LF like Pham. Especially since he's so cheap. And Turner was signed just a couple of weeks before everyone had realized that the market had cratered and every FA left was scrambling to sign anything. Turner is playing a lot better than his numbers suggest though. He won't beat Pham on a WAR per dollar basis, of course, but he might end the season with better numbers than him. Their xwOBA is nearly identical right now.
-
Yeah and he was in the best shape of his life this past offseason. Super motivated to put 2023 behind him (and whatever other platitudes players use), I'm sure.
-
Teoscar was traded two seasons ago when he only had 1 year of team control left. Get over it. The only reason the Debbie Downers even bring him up is because they can't whine anymore about any other former Jays like Gurriel, Moreno, Frasso, etc.
-
It also shows you how Biggio was valued around the league. Clearing his salary and getting a fringe relief prospect with major control issues is the best the Jays could do.
-
Given the depressed offensive environment this year I bet a lot of teams have pretty good records when scoring 3 runs, 4 runs, 5 runs, etc. but I'm not sure how to look that up.
-
We are 32-10 when we score 3+ runs this year lol
-
^The most positive thing he's said about the team in months lmao
-
I forgot about poor Dean. The mods did him a favor, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's posting around here somewhere. His last days on the board were a textbook display of someone experiencing a mental health episode. I would not be surprised if he was committed shortly thereafter. He was a truly sick and bizarre individual.

Good timing to take the 5th spot back
