Did Vlad run through a stop sign?
-
Francis the bulk guy?
-
My all time favorite baseball player to this day. And I don't think that hit was a hr. Might be wrong.
-
I'm looking at flying with my 11 year old son to a Jay's series this season. For people who have travelled with the team, what do you recommend? Right now I'm looking at Chicaco in the first week of July. We're in Calgary so direct flights are easier to the western cities. Any other ones I should look at?
-
If someone had asked if Vlad wouldn't have a single bomb at home in mid June or manoah would run into his first pro struggles in a dramatic fashion....I would have guessed manoah
-
All good. I probably didn't make my point clearly.
-
Just a reflection of my higher expectations for Vladdy than anything.
-
I'll say it, I'm more disappointed in Vladdy this season than Manoah. Manoah's struggles didn't really come as a surprise.
-
Moving goalposts? My point isn't complicated. The management of this organization cannot properly maximize assets because they are under constant pressure to win now from ownership. It's easier to make bold decisions on players when nobody is paying attention.
-
Chapman - love him and hate him all in five minutes.
-
I dont view it as a particularly controversial point. The org has bare cupboards for a reason.
-
The only other explanation for their inability to manage assets properly is incompetence... But I don't think that's the whole story. I think the management of the Jays is given marching orders to always win now.
-
It's too consistent to be a coincidence
-
I think Atkins and maybe also Shapiro are learning what every other Jays gm learns eventually: this ownership and these fans would never tolerate a Rays style organization. Ruthlessness in terms of thinking of players as assets is often in direct opposition of using those same players for marketing purposes.
-
What did he say on his Instagram?
-
If I got to choose whether Atkins or Schneider gets fired, I'm going Atkins all day. This team has no minor league assets, nobody ready to take on opportunities when there are injuries. No assets to trade. A bunch of fat players. And not winning.
-
At no point in this season has Manoah pitched as well as Francis just did.
-
Is Francis a starter just being used in the pen for this game?
-
hes locating them perfectly. not quite strikes...but probably can put it in the zone if they start laying off it.
-
that was some filth from Francis
-
Pearson is such a great story.

Some people don't understand this. Most importantly Manoah. There's dozens, maybe hundreds of millions of dollars at stake - and nobody can afford to buy him a subscription to macrofactor and someone to do meal prep? If you're fat, the time to reduce calories is now. Not in the offseason. -

Whether in season or off-season, Manoah has clearly been eating in a significant calorie surplus. If you are trying to put on lean mass (which he probably doesn't need to do), you do that in a very modest calorie surplus. Otherwise, he should be eating all year at maintenance calories relative to his activity level. He's fat because he's eating too much. -

Does our super science lab minor league system employ a nutritionist along with all the high speed cameras? I feel like distended abdomens have cost us a not insignificant number of wins the last couple of seasons. -
At least Rick Ankiel wasn't too fat to play outfield.
