    Kirk hitting for power. Finally. Need him to have a big 2 months.
  2. glory
    7 walks and 5 singles. Guillermo can’t wipe that smile off his face.
  3. glory
    Not watching the game but see that Kirk went 1st to 3rd on a single. Was Luplow’s hit the slowest single in the history of the sport?

    Vlad in 2025 is going to have a MVP caliber year. That's the only thing I'll bank on with him.

    Tiedemann getting hurt was a huge blow because there’s no doubt he’d be starting right now if he were available, and maybe they’d have been more sensible in their approach with Manoah. I still find it crazy that they know he’s gonna get lit up and still start him hoping divine intervention gets him through each start.

    The Jays seem to be moving away from how they managed under Buntoyo and more towards playing the starters as often as they can, which is the right call, but makes it harder to develop bench players. Schneider could be trade bait or he could be someone they value, but if they chose Luplow it is likely because they don’t envision him playing that often. I think the next prospect we see getting everyday AB’s in the Majors is probably Orelvis.

    The Jays willing to lose games during a playoff push is mind boggling to me. Sending him down and trying to get him right for 2024-beyond seems like a much smarter way to go than hoping a 6.00 ERA starter whose stuff/command looks like dog s*** is going to win games against competent offenses.

    I wonder if the Jays would have the balls to have Varsho as the 4th OF for the rest of the season, assuming they picked up a LF in a trade. This was the big move of the off season so it would be admitting defeat in some cases, but it would only be temporary as he's certainly the starting CF next season and beyond. He's just not helping the 2023 team, and that's kinda important.

    The Jays would rather take a bullet to the chest than start Bowden Francis, and there’s no one else in the minors that they’d spot start in all likelihood. They’d rather lose games with Manoah than try to win with someone else, and I’m not sure why. It’s not like the stuff is there but the results aren’t. He looks like s*** and the numbers back it up. If they miss the playoffs by a game (again) then they can just blame themselves at that point. Manoah is definitely starting Sunday. They are waiting for another Astros type start where he gets destroyed before they even think about a move.

    The 2023 Reds might be the 2022 Orioles. Position player core looking good with more on the way (Marte). Both them and the Pirates could take a leap next season.
  11. glory
    This game has given us a good glimpse of the team's needs. Manoah shouldn't start another game the rest of the season, so another SP is probably a good idea (Stroman or otherwise). The team needed to go to the bench to get a RHB to face a lefty reliever, and the big bat they had was Santiago f'n Espinal. A RHB that can mash lefties is badly required.
  12. glory
    The Jays missed the playoffs by a game in 2021 and still don't realize that punting games mid season (essentially what they are doing with Manoah starting) could come back to bite them later. I have no doubt he starts again Sunday.
  13. glory
    I like how Schneider will pull a dominating starter after 7 IP and 80 pitches but will let Manoah make this a blowout before he takes him out. He better not face the lineup a 3rd time.
  14. glory
    The Jays can’t possibly count on Manoah down the stretch. Command still stinks even though he should have K’d Soto before the HR.
  15. glory
    Manoah sucking the life out of a big crowd has become a very common occurrence.
  16. glory
    Ump f***ed Manoah there. Had to know Soto was going to take advantage.
  17. glory
    Arte Moreno is going to make sure they keep Ohtani and lose him for nothing at the end of the season.
  18. glory
    Yeah as mentioned, barring injury, Stroman is definitely opting out, which is probably another reason the Jays wouldn't acquire him even if they didn't have bad blood from the past. Whichever team trades for him has to be OK with him either opting out or picking up his option, and as much as Atkins enjoys giving $20m AAV's to starters, I'm not sure he'd want to risk something like that for 2024 since the only way Stroman opts in is if he gets hurt. Stro played free agency perfectly a couple of years ago. Signed for low years/higher AAV, and now can opt out and get the security in his final big contract coming off one of his best seasons. A pitcher taking that risk in his 30's is ballsy, but so far it looks like he made the right decision.
  19. glory
    Yeah I don’t think I’ve ever worried about the Jays under this regime signing an early round draft pick. Now if AA was still GM, then that’s a different story. Arjun at under slot is a bit surprising. But he still got his money and the Jays have more $ to work with so good on all accounts.
  20. glory
    Stroman in a playoff game > Bassitt, Manoah, Kikuchi, and Ryu coming off TJS. I very much doubt it happens, though.
  21. glory
    Curious to see how the Jays view him. He seems like a probable trade piece as he’s close to big leagues, putting up good numbers at a reasonable age, and might not have a clear shot at playing time on a team that has a shrinking competitive window (at least with the current core). Atkins needs to start incorporating more cheap young talent on the field that can punch significantly above their financial weight so guys like Schneider replacing the Biggio’s on the roster would make a lot of sense but all comes down to how the FO views him.
  22. glory
    Atkins playing 4D chess making everything think he traded Frasso for White when he was really trading for De Jesus.
  23. glory
    Guillermo Martinez would have Cruz lowering his K rate but hitting everything on the ground within a week.
  24. glory
    Jordan Walker grades out as a horrendous OF. They really need to either trade Arenado and move Walker back to 3B, or trade Walker. Not sure they do either of those things, though. I mean if the Jays can get Walker somehow then go for it, but otherwise I’d avoid any more big contracts to guys in their 30’s. Promote Orelvis to AAA and hope he’s ready for 2024.
  25. glory
    Congrats to Vlad. Hopefully it jump starts his bat in the 2nd half.
