    I hope Horowitz has at least 20 HR power because his other offensive skills seem to be there.

    The Jays have a hard enough time hitting home runs. Not sure why Merrifield had to be the one to replace Vlad instead of Schneider, but I guess it was a designated off day for DS.

    The Jays began the day as the 2nd WC team, and could end the day out of the playoffs entirely with a loss. That's how close this thing is. Thankfully 7 of the last 10 games for SEA/TEX are against each other, so someone is going to have to lose those games.

    Jays own the tiebreaker over Houston, so if HOU falls off then that would be ideal. Not sure how likely that is though.

    Rangers tie it. Having to count on the Red Sox is never a good thing.

    To be fair to Varsho, if he was in CF all season then he’d have been more valuable overall. It would be like the DBacks acquiring Moreno and putting him at 3B. His value is tied to being a catcher, and Varsho’s is tied to being an excellent defensive CF. KK was a great signing all things considered but it was a mistake to have him and Varsho in the same OF.

    Richards has been awful recently. Not sure why he's getting this spot at this point, although I guess they want to avoid Green and Swanson for a 3rd game in 4 days. Hopefully it works out.

    Kirk might be faster than Stanton. Or it’s damn close.

    Schneider was probably walking out of the dugout to take Kikuchi out of the game, and was shocked there was an injury.

    Damn hope Kooch is okay.

    I really don't see a realistic scenario where the Jays finish with WC2 unless they go something like 8-4 in their last 12 (I wouldn't bet on that). They don't have the tiebreaker against SEA/TEX, and 7 of the last 12 games for both the Mariners and Rangers are against each other so somebody is going to win those games. The Jays best shot at making it might be if one of those teams wins like 5 of 7 in the H2H games, in which case the Jays would be looking at WC3 anyway since I doubt they're doing better than 6-6 or maybe 7-5 against the Yankees/Rays.

    If Oakland takes 1/3 from Seattle that’s probably the best we can hope for, but at least the Rangers and Astros lost.

    They got 2.2m fans the first year their new stadium opened up, but the team stunk and then they had another fire sale immediately afterwards. The last time they finished with a .500 or better record over 162 games was 2009. Between that and their ownership's history, it is likely hard for fans to stay engaged with them. They are competitive this season, but usually the increase in attendance comes the following season after a team turns things around. We will see if next season sees any spike. The Rays have been great forever and still get 8k a night or whatever it is. That's a lost cause.

    I think Miami deserves a bit of a chance to see if a competitive team could bring fans in. That fanbase has been dicked over by ownership so often. If they had the Rays success, I think they'd draw better than the Rays do, but we won't know unless it happens. I agree though, getting the Rays out of Florida and into a better baseball market would have been the ideal scenario. Even if they built a new stadium in Tampa, at least you could have spun that positively as it's moving the team to a better location. This is destined to fail. After the novelty of a new stadium wears off it will be right back to 10k a night. You see teams like the Reds and Pirates where clearly if they start to look good, then the fans will be there in droves. St Pete isn't that market.

    Jimi is definitely going to be the first RP out of the pen if the Jays make the playoffs.
  16. glory
    Getting swept by the Rangers and by Sunday evening being in the 2nd WC spot is some turnaround. This season has been frustrating and intense. Just find a way to get in.
  17. glory
    I refuse to let these guys pull me back in, but big win either way.
  18. glory
    I blame Bassitt for this game. Not throwing a shutout knowing this team is only capable of one big hit a night (at best) is inexcusable.

    The time to trade everyone was July 2017. That team had proven it was old and had no gas left in the tank, but they let it ride for another year and got 30 cents on the dollar for everyone. That decision probably cost them either additional young pieces they could have paired with this core or more trade bait they could have turned into vets. Just an awful decision in hindsight.

    Guardians powerhouse offense showing the Jays how it’s done. Can’t believe the Jays couldn’t split that 4 game series.

    Chapman on a long term FA deal in his 30's is disgusting. Let someone else live with that. Offer the QO and if he takes it then great. If not then you take the pick and move on. Teoscar would fit the team needs perfectly, and we know he'd energize the clubhouse, but curious to see what type of contract he could get. The FA market doesn't look that great, and he's had a great 2nd half of the season. I could see him getting a 3+ year deal somewhere. If he's looking for a pillow contract then the Jays should be all over it.

    Yeah Rogers is not going to green light a rebuild regardless of who the GM is. Which is why I think they keep Atkins for at least one more season. They will look at the last 4 seasons and see playoffs (Mickey Mouse appearance in a 60 game season but whatever), 91 wins, 92 wins, and probably somewhere between 82-88 wins this season depending on how badly they want to collapse down the stretch. They will look at the latter as a down year based on unforeseen underachievement and bank on the same players improving next season with improvements added around them + new coaching staff (at least on the hitting side). Would that be the right thing to do? That's up for debate, but that's what I see happening. I'd be pleasantly surprised if they replaced Atkins with someone like Click and let Click be the one to try to get the 2024-25 teams into the playoffs instead. Atkins isn't bad, but they can find better.
  23. glory
    What I think will happen: Atkins stays, every coach on the hitting side is gone, and Schneider probably 50/50 at this point depending on how they finish this season (ex. if they go like 5-10 the rest of the way after going 0-4 against the Rangers, then he’s more likely to get canned). Walker is probably safe unless Atkins is gone.
  24. glory
    I don’t know, I don’t see Shapiro cutting bait unless it comes from above him. Attendance has been good all year and they held a playoff spot with 3 weeks left in the season. Might be considered a win for Rogers but who knows. They will almost certainly do something with the coaching staff, whether it be Schneider, Guillmero, or all of the above. The fans are going to want a pound of flesh and that’s the easiest way to give it to him without wholesale front office changes.

    Bichette has a 4% walk rate. He wasn't drawing a walk in that AB. Just had to hope he hit any mistake Eovaldi made around the strike zone, but didn't happen.
