    That noise you hear is Tim Anderson’s music.

    The key with Atkins is going to be whether he can both maximize the team’s current window and sustain it beyond 2025. I’m more skeptical about the latter than the former, but now the Jays actually have legit position player options in AAA who are performing well and could fill 2024-beyond holes at the big league level. Whether those players will be used to fill big league holes next season or used in trades in the next 24 hours is the question. Atkins’ track record with trading prospects is pretty good so if he does trade someone who looks interesting then he has earned the benefit of the doubt but he’s going to need to hit on prospects for the Jays more often now.

    Did MiLB.com make a mistake or did Spencer Horowitz actually start at 2B today?

    I don't trust Schneider to handle a bullpen effectively, but a potential late inning group with Romano, Hicks, Green, and Swanson, with Richards, Mayza, and Jimi in the middle innings is pretty nice. Not sure how they are going to juggle things when Green and Ryu get back. If they are doing a 6 man rotation, then they'll only be able to carry 7 RP's. Pearson, Cabrera, and Jackson all have options so demoting them is probably the end result. Of course, permitting health and effectiveness. As far as the trade, I think Kloff is a non prospect, but Sem is a tough loss for a team that has traded actual prospects for depth SP's in the past. They need to develop SP depth at some point, even if they are low ceiling. Ultimately I get why they did it. They desperately need a bat though, so let's see what happens. I think Pham is a real possibility.

    Curious to see what the Jays gave up.

    Maybe Belt needed a day, but if he was healthy then no reason Biggio should have batted there. Annoying loss since it was a winnable game.

    If Springer hits into a DP here…….

    Thankfully they used Garcia yesterday when they needed him so he can come in for the 3rd game in a row today.

    After today's game... Merrifield: 119 wRC+, 386 PA Vladdy: 118 wRC+, 446 PA Just as we all predicted before the season.

    Schneider's usage today was fine other than using Garcia in the 9th. I'm not sure how many innings, if any, Pearson threw in AAA after he was sent down, but letting him go another inning after throwing 7 pitches in a 6-1 game seemed pretty logical. I'm guessing Schneider just gets turned on by the more relievers he can use in a single game.

    Schneider going to need a cigarette in the post game with the reliever usage today. Not sure why Pearson couldn’t close it out considering he threw like 7 pitches in the 8th.
  13. glory
    Don’t tease me with the power, Kirk, unless it sticks around. Let Pearson finish this.

    Mets would be smart to get off their commitments to Scherzer and Verlander if they can.
  15. glory
    Schneider rubbing his hands together in the dugout knowing he will use every reliever in the pen today.
  16. glory
    The Jays should trade for Scherzer just so we can see what happens when Max is at 89 pitches in the 6th inning and sees Schneider coming to the mound to take him out.

    Manoah against a heavy LHH lineup probably isn't a good thing, then again Manoah against anyone hasn't been good this season.

    Find an available reliever with at least an additional year of control left, and that’s a far more likely target for Atkins than Hader. That applies to all the trade targets most likely. He doesn’t like trading for rentals. Maybe he goes after Hernandez from the Royals or something like that. There was talk he could be moved.

    Hope Ohtani is ok, but the Jays caught a huge break here.
  20. glory
    Man just saw the Bichette running mistake, that could be very costly. Angels basically handed them a run and they didn't take it.

    Looking at the leaderboard (minimum 350 PA), Varsho's wRC+ heading into tonight (74) was the 3rd worst in baseball. I think he can catch Myles Straw (71), but not sure about Javy Baez (61).
  22. glory
    Springer was robbed of a double play.
  23. glory
    Manoah against a LHH lineup like the Angels tomorrow might change that perception quickly.

    If the Angels sweep the DH today, then they would be 3 games back of the Jays for the last WC spot with 3 games head to head in Toronto this weekend. I wish the Jays were either winning the division (obviously) or in the top WC spot, because it appears that the most realistic way the Angels get in would be if the Jays miss out. If there is a way for the Jays and Angels to both make it in, then count me in. I just don't see it happening (for the Angels). They are not better than any team in the AL East, and not better than the Astros/Rangers either, so I don't see a realistic path for them other than to pocket the attendance revenue that Ohtani generates and then watch him leave.

    Kirk hasn’t hit for power in over a year. There’s a good chance this is the new norm for him, which is fine since at worst that’s a good backup, but I wouldn’t bet on that (combined with weight issues) being better than Jansen over the next 3-5 years. Re-sign Jansen and if Kirk’s power comes back, then it’s a good problem to have, but at this rate I’m not betting on a singles hitting fatty as my long term catcher.
