  1. I haven't received my marching orders from Captain Spanky yet, but I presume that Team Not Panicking is in an official HOLD position when it comes to Vlad stocks. You all can write him off if you want, but he's got a 118 wRC+ right now and if he had one hot week he'd shoot up to the 140+ range where we all want him to be. Generational superstar is looking less likely, but I have a feeling that Team Not Panicking will be once again feeling good about our position in light of all this non-tender talk.
  2. Offense is down across the board this year quite a bit. I think it usually is in April but it's even more so this year. Take Vlad Jr., for example. Last year he hit .264/.345/.444 for a wRC+ of 118. He's slashing .230/.350/.368 this year and he's got the same wRC+. Manfred is probably screwing with the balls again.
  3. Agree on all this. The defense is so key and doesn't get enough credit. It's so easy for the losers and haters to sit in their mom's basement and tweet about how Atkins couldn't add any offense this offseason. But it never crosses their minds that Gausman remains an ace into his mid 30s, Kikuchi and Berrios had major bounce back seasons and that Bassitt threw 200 innings for the first time in his career at age 34. If you start adding a bunch of Tommy Pham's to the lineup it's going to have an affect on the pitching and how you perceive it.
  4. The Jays would literally be undefeated against that schedule
  5. The Brewers are projected to finish with 84 wins. The Red Sox are projected to go about .500 and so are the Twins. Everyone else is projected to have a losing record.
  6. Yeah the 0.85 is ludicrous but it seems like he's earned his 3.36 FIP. XFIP and xERA are lower but still solid. Probably settles in for a season like last year which will work.
  7. Meanwhile, Team Not Panicking continues to have a fantastic month of Blue Jays baseball. Just a really fun couple of weeks after watching the haters and losers panic after one bad road trip. Feels good to be vindicated this early. I thought it might take another week.
  8. Lol so I tune in for some post game chatter and I see that the board idiots are calling for a change at CL after another win
  9. Great inning by the lineup. Vlad and Bo had better gameplans and ABs there
  10. Nevermind we are hanging a crooked number on them this inning
  11. This game is going to be a low scoring butt clencher
  12. I think they should just ride Yariel as much as they can while (1) he's hot and (2) still has innings available to give to the team. If they jerk him out of the rotation and put him into the bullpen, it could affect his performance some. But if Yariel can get us to the trade deadline, or at least close to it, then we can either move to Manoah or make a trade when Yariel hits his innings limit.
  13. My god have the Orioles had an easy schedule to this point. May toughens up a little bit for them but it will take until June until they see a hard patch of games.
  14. Any collection of extreme max velo types (Strider), 40 year olds (Morton), guys with lengthy injury pasts (Fried and Sale) and converted relievers (Lopez) are going to have an elevated injury risk.
  15. Yeah I could see Francis being optioned to keep him stretched out as a depth starter.
  16. You love to see it.
  17. Yeah we had something like 10 names that were mildly interesting or better entering the year. Bad: -Two fringe MLB guys in White and Parsons bared their ass and are no longer on the team. -Tiedemann looks to be seriously hurt. -Chad Dallas sucks. Meh: -Francis has shown good stuff but got hit hard. -Manoah looks to be in better shape and his most recent start was promising but he's looked like pooh otherwise. Good: -Yariel looks legit. -Not a perfect start by any means but the 1-4 look strong moving forward. That in itself is depth. -Adam Macko is off to a good start. Also, the plethora of infield bench players is panning out at both the big league (Schneider, Clement) and AAA (Orelvis, Horwitz, etc.) levels. We could make a trade to shore up some pitching depth if it comes to it. Heck, we might HAVE to make a trade.
  18. Yeah they definitely want to limit Yariel's innings. He's barely pitched the past couple of years. So it all makes sense but Manoah still scares the s*** out of me.
  19. Barger is off to a great start. Slashing .314/.435/.586. 10 doubles and 3 homers in just 70 ABs. I have no idea what to make of his infield defense but he hasn't committed an error at 3B yet in 11 games at 3B.
  20. Yeah the Pearson Fanboys were definitely complaining that Swanson wasn't ready and that we should have had Pearson in his spot. 100%
  21. Back in the good 'ole days we used to tell the StottleMyersBloodyBallSacks of the board "you aren't smarter than Steamer." Now your posts are barely indistinguishable from the haters and losers after a mediocre road trip to start the season. Not sure what happened here. But the logic still applies my friend, so forgive me for not trusting your amateur scouting skills over Steamer.
  22. Lol just like Varsho was considered a lost cause prior to last week? Not sure what's gotten into you lately. It's either a troll job or you switched accounts with the newly rational JaysBlue or something. The projections have Vlad hitting with a wRC+ of 130+ the rest of the year. Steamer has him hitting 139. Not a superstar but enough offensive juice to make him a 3+ WAR player. Here on Team Not Panicking we are officially holding on Vlad stocks right now and I suggest everyone do the same. One hot week and his numbers will look fine folks.
  23. He may not end up a superstar but he’s got a 115 wRC+ right now and it should only go up from there
  24. Team Not Panicking looking strong Just need to call Orelvis up so he and Schneider can start socking homers together and we’ll be on our way
