  1. His horrible D jumps all year and that game 2 wildcard are burned in my mind. Those catch probabilities were solid. WTF was he even doing in the field at that time trying to protect that lead? His defensive stats were atrocious, aside from his bat.
  2. 433 PAs for Tapia and 100 ish for Zimmer in '22. No bueno.
  3. Rowdy Tellez since 2021 worth a combined negative 0.2 WAR. Trevor Richards and Bowden Francis well...you know. Francis K'ed the side just last night. This FO deal has really worked out well for us.
  4. Never ever got cheated....
  5. Canadian boy Matt Stairs '08 playoffs for Phillies turns on this fastball....crushed.
  6. Let us erase that from our recent memory banks.
  7. Quick bat up in the zone and gets on top of it. That was only 91 but still a nice swing. nice to see. Awesome inning.
  8. Nice rally. Phew. No time like the present men!
  9. Still in shock over that 1B and 3B no outs and then no runs sequence. Against the A’s.
  10. I have tried listening to them and find them really annoying.
  11. 100%. 5-6 year deal. Worth the risk based on the underlying numbers. Longer than that given his position, D, struggles and body type gives me pause. If you look back even Bryce Harper had some mediocre years mixed in. In 2015 his wRC+ was f***ing 197 in a 9.3 WAR season...then he followed up in 2016 with 111. 2017 back to 155.
  12. Moreno slugging .686 with .400 OBP the last 15 gms. .609 slug over last 30 gms. Kids officially a 101 wRC+ bat. Varsho back in the abyss slugging .352 the last 15 gms.
  13. We all like LTBF but when it comes to Vlad on this Board, I think you may have noticed that the cheese has slipped off his cracker.
  14. Too true. To my ever living shame I even started a "Tyler Chatwood Appreciation thread" then. The low point was Buntoyo leaving him in to BB away into an L to prove a point, after a Chatwood hissy fit.
  15. There is an argument for non tender of Vlad. 0.5 WAR is just that. Buts its a bad argument. The cost of his arb year is worth the risk given his EVs and upside potential returning closer to '21 & '22 production. Pretty simple. If he is less than a WAR again in 2024, and still around, it might be worth looking at for '25.
  16. Alonso + for Vlad might make sense - depending entirely on the + given the control. Change of scenery for both players. This year Alonso has hit a lot of bombs as usual and his WAR is a little better than Vlads was in 2022. 2.9.
  17. Dude was a 3 WAR player in 2019 and had a 122 wRC+ in 2020. The League adjusted. Maybe just maybe he is figuring it out again. What a huge play at 3B.
  18. Yeah. That’s all that matters. A Win is a Win. Biggio and Berrios Killer Bees today. Some clutch RBIs from Springer and Horwitz. Love that swing driving pitch away to LF from LHP. Well done Jays!!
  19. I very much doubt it’s 50/50 too, but it’s all about the value coming back. There has to be some cocky GM (sucker or genius) who thinks their org can turn Vlads 2023 red baseball savant page back into 2021. I suspect depending on where we are in the ‘24 deadline in the playoff hunt will determine a lot in terms of what the FO does. They likely won’t want another JD situation if they can’t/don’t extend.
  20. I usually don't get too wired up about these kinds of things if they are isolated. I didn't mind the HR jacket or the barrio antics either. But Vlad really pissed me off with that yesterday. He pimped that more than Acuna Jr did his 30/60. If he had 45 bombs and it was a usual occurrence to go yard, I might understand it more. His 0.4 WAR and his 112 wRC+ going into yesterdays game is part of why this team is fighting for its season every single game. Just play the game hard and run the f***ing bases well. This is not hard. I'd be fine to see him benched a game to send a message even now in this dogfight. And I'm not one who thinks AAA players are the magical answers to all our prayers.
  21. Hard to argue with 5-4 against the teams we have played the last 9 against is not good enough when we are chasing a spot. Todays game was yet another near death experience. Unfortunately we are in a position where we most likely can't just win series, we probably need a sweep or two, hopefully starting tomorrow.
  22. A Cohiba or a Fauxhiba? Cohibas are min $75 a stick in ON. I order my cubans from Cigar Chief off the Mohawks near Kingston for decades. They send them to AB. Best prices in Canada but a good Cuban robusto is minimum $30 a stick now. Been buying some Olivas from them for $15 a stick. Not bad. Going to go have a Romeo Y Julieta Short Churchill now myself to celebrate the W.
  23. Nope. Fapping.
  24. Big f***ing Win Jays!!! Critical. Way to go BiJays.
