  1. The calculus is changing in terms of what we should be trading for because the division is damn near locked up and the playoffs are almost guaranteed. We need a frontline playoff starter and late inning relievers. Any bat would have to be some sort of bench upgrade or a legit star. So Keller is out and Sandy might be too unless they are very confident that they could make a tweak to get him back to an ace. Rentals like Cease could be in.
  2. Spanky and I should never have to pay for a meal at Swiss Chalet again with all the apologies in the forms of gift cards we have coming our way
  3. The 2025 Toronto Blue Jays when they fall behind 1-0
  4. Jays have won 20 out of their last 25 games
  5. I bet the Tigers thought they had a chance when they were ahead 1-0 lmao
  6. Ownership simply doesn't give a s***. Denver is a transplant town and they have a great ballpark downtown. Between the transplants, the visiting fans (the Rockies actually advertise to other MLB fanbases), and the Denver people who just want to drink outside, they still have very good attendance. 13th in MLB this year despite sucking so bad. Ownership has also bought and developed a ton of property surrounding the ballpark and makes a killing off of all of that. The owner actually does spend a little on MLB payroll, but he hates spending on front office and player development. He's even on record saying that a salary cap should apply to those budgets. He always hires in house and they run a skeleton front office. He becomes friends with the front office people and the players and won't get rid of people because he's friends with them. I think he just promoted his 35 year old son to run the team. MLB puts up with it because he often leads negotiations during the CBA and is good cannon fodder to provide cover for the rest of the owners.
  7. I'd take a shot on either one of these guys. They can both hit 100 mph consistently.
  8. Yeah I hear ya. On Twitter I see a ton of "let's get another right handed bat" tweets but if you do, you basically have to dump Straw. And Straw is a perfect bench guy come playoff time.
  9. Well said. I assume some of the Buffalo Boys could net decent relievers in 1v1 trades. I fully expect some of them to be dealt. Wouldn't be shocked by a Straw trade either if the Jays decide they want to upgrade there and acquire someone like Laureano. It seems like a contender with a s*** bench could use a guy like him.
  10. McMahon stinks and I'm glad the Yankees traded for him. On a contender, he's nothing more than a strong side platoon partner who should be hitting in the bottom 3rd of the lineup. He makes good money and the Yankees are cheaper than they used to be so he's eating up a bunch of payroll the next couple of years. He's not Suarez. He was the captain of the worst team in baseball history. Guy has a loser pedigree. If you're the Yankees you have to hope you can unlock something with the stick and get him to pull more flyballs into the little league part of your stadium. Otherwise, congrats Yankees you just got a strong side platoon partner for Peraza.
  11. https://awfulannouncing.com/mlb/michael-kay-don-mattingly-peacemaker-toronto-blue-jays.html Lmao Michael Kay is so shook
  12. Always buy low! Difference between Sandy and Keller isn't that big tbh, but you would be buying low on Sandy and buying high on Keller.
  13. Scherzer seems to be healthyish and Lauer is definitely solidifying himself as a guy so it does raise the bar on the kind of pitcher who can actually contribute. But on the other hand I want the AL East Crown and our SP depth isn't that great. I would not be shocked if Scherzer got hurt and/or Lauer starts to regress. Since June, Sandy has made 9 starts and he's averaging 6 innings a start with a 3.60 FIP. I definitely think he helps.
  14. Yeah this is their worst starting pitcher by far.
  15. We were down 1-0 and then I had to go to a work thing and now we are up 11-1 🤯
  16. Yeah it's one thing to have low K rates but this team is borderline historic in that regard. It's the strength of the offense which can lead to some frustrating games like on Tuesday where we lost a 1-run game with 11 LOB. But it can also lead to 8 run outbursts against an ace like Fried.
  17. Tigers are scuffling. Lost 9 of 10 and have only scored 9 runs in 6 games since the ASB. Here is my quick scouting report after 5 minutes on Fangraphs: Rotation Elite. Skubal is a stud followed by a very good 2-4. The one fringe guy they have is Montero who we get to face. Bullpen Solid but unconventional. Awful K rates but elite walk rates. About average when it comes to homers. Lineup Top 10ish on the season but trending down. Power is their strength. Looks like we will dodge Kerry Carpenter who should return after the weekend. Baserunning Great baserunning metrics but dead last in steals on the year. Defense Ranks 14th in MLB by most metrics. Dingler/Rogers duo are very good behind the dish.
  18. That Yankee defense is the most f#cked up things I’ve ever seen on a baseball diamond
  19. Yankees make 10 errors and Boone got tossed as the Jays clinch the season series lol Get bent New York lmaooooo
  20. Oh ok so every time I turn on my TV and he’s acting like an @$$hole it’s just an act
