    Supreme confidence in Varsho's OF D. Even when he gets a bad jump or can't find a ball right away, he always seems to recover well.
  2. BigCecil
    If we do, the bigger question is why the f*** didnt we call it up sooner when our offense was so ass?
  3. BigCecil
    Good. If it wasnt for him we would have had Bellinger!
  4. BigCecil
    Loving this boys....slap that pitch away to RF and get dem ribees.

    Great AB Horowitz (just f***ing with you Spanky). We cannot leave COL 4-5 on this trip so far. I might commit seppaku. 2 HIT WHIT!!!! WHAT A BOSS JOB!!!
  6. BigCecil
    I get the desire but its not a safe bet. Numbers in AAA, especially that league where everyone is mashing, don't always translate to MLB. Belt's got a 135 wRC+
  7. BigCecil
    Tough call but with Jano down we may need to consider throwing Varsho behind the plate sometime this month in huge spots for our offense to have a PR for Kirk. We need a run to have any chance to get a W. In that situation a double might not even score Kirk.

    No matter this ab outcome Springer so much more locked in now than the big rut he was in. Staying on the ball.

    We really couldn’t upgrade on Espy as a RH pinch hit option at the deadline?
  10. BigCecil
    Disagree. A lot of those jerseys got purchased in 21 and 22. Shine has come off him badly. Casuals are all over him this year. Casuals were the ones who led the bitching about the home run jacket and the antics of the barrio, but only when we weren’t playing well. At the end of 21 down the stretch when we were rolling they couldn’t get enough of it all. They are more fickle than non casuals IMO.

    Even when he is getting extra bases he isn’t endearing himself to people with the performance antics. Just play hard and do your job would do wonders. Not like he is closing in on 50 big ones or anything.

    Phew. Vlad and all of us needed that one from Vlad. Get another.

    Its all got that new car smell - we are a 90 ish W team. He is convincing owners to make some ballsy big bets that we all get - but can't yet fully be assessed on their success or failure. Net net I'm glad they are making them. But I'd trade all that for a deep run and throw in a kidney for another WS ring, purely as a Jays fan.
  14. BigCecil
    Not as convinced. I get the argument, but we'll see. Its hard to argue that investments in the development facilities and the RC won't pay off, if not now eventually. I think the full story will be written on that determination and its sustainability over the next 3-5 years as they navigate some very big decisions. I think he will still be here then though to round out a decade + at the helm.

    I think about that a lot. Attendance is 2nd in MLB. TV ratings top shelf. Stadium renos and a buzz at the RC. We are in the hunt every year since 2020 as frustrating as it can be. Good fortune and luck plays big in this game, along with actual talent, and for whatever reasons it hasn't clicked yet vis a vis playoff wins. But strictly as a business, is Rogers getting exactly what they want from the FO in the way they evaluate each season? They would simply view 90 +/- 3 wins as the business objective/achievement, as it keep fans interested enough - the playoffs are all gravy whatever happens. I do think there is some sustainability risk in this model as major decisions loom on the roster over the next 2-3 years with aging and FA impacts. I'm just a small fry but anecdotally as one fan aka customer...I am going to not attend games I normally would this SEPT given my feeling about this team. But having said that I'll no doubt be watching on TV lol, so I doubt they care.

    Agree that progression is not linear. I never thought missing the playoffs in '21 was a valuable learning experience. I thought it was a crime. Shapiro said Aug 2017 waves would coming up from the farm. Maybe Schneider and Horwitz etc and some of these guys that are not the top prospect names like Bo and Vlad were coming up, but could add a lot of value cheaply to the team, will be a catalyst. I still want them to make it this year.
  17. BigCecil
    OTOH This team has gotten health luck beyond expectations. Even Ryu came back and gave us some quality IP unexpectedly. We could have added more offence at the deadline given the under performance we saw. Belt, KK and Whit have arguably given us more than expected. Under performance, over performance and injuries that wipe out projections, are all part of the game. For every team and FO. Whatever happens good or bad every FO wears some of it.
  18. BigCecil
    I f***ing hope not. I still have some hope. So much depends on Vlad doing damage. 20 - Blown out in playoffs 21 - Miss playoffs by a game 22 - All time epic Jays playoff meltdown 23 - ? Glass half full we are in the hunt every year. Glass half empty WTF. This is the 7th highest payroll and 11th oldest team in baseball with a narrowing window (arguably) and we haven't so much as won one playoff game (not that that would suffice).
  19. BigCecil
    Yep. I hope the splitter splits at Coors. Going into this "weak schedule" stretch Buck (I know I know) said we needed to go 12-3. Its like a bad dream we are 4-4. This team will drive you mad. We have to start today stringing together W's. TEX is a good team - expect them to pull out of this swoon. Same for HOU. SEA is unconscious - JROD stepping up. Compared to Vlad's .375 slug - Teo slugging .636 .355 avg with 8 bombs/26 RBIs his last 30 games. Just sayin' not sayin'
  20. BigCecil
    All good bud. I watched it a few times. Sucker for punishment.
  21. BigCecil
    the second swing he took. Dial that f***er up. "2nd pitch he swung over was in the zone down". That was the first one.
  22. BigCecil
    Just rewatched. 2nd pitch he swung over was in the zone down. The other 2 not so much. Pretty nasty pitches. This was a W we needed badly. Dam! Needed a knock from Vlad and better D tonight.
  23. BigCecil
    Tough spot for our new guy. What a moment if he can come through here. Even a BB/HBP/WP....anything!
  24. BigCecil
    Only Espy is green lit bro. have no fear.
  25. BigCecil
    lol!!!
