  1. MLB site has Schneider at DH and Biggio at 3B.
  2. Vlad, Springer, Varsho, and Kirk have a 5.6 WAR combined this season. A lot of teams have had injuries, but the Jays have had ridiculous underachievement combined with good health (until recently with Bo and others). Between that and Manoah’s implosion, it’s actually a bit of a shock that they are playing meaningful baseball in the final 2 weeks of September.
  3. 7-5 against the Guardians, Nats, Rockies, and A's is pretty bad, injuries or not. Luckily the Rangers have been awful so the Jays actually gained ground over that stretch but that should have been at least a win or two better for the Jays. Hopefully they can sweep the Royals, but I believe one of the games is against Ragans, and the Jays have a hard enough time hitting s*** pitching much less good pitching, so can't assume anything there. The Jays also need to win 3/4 against the Rangers to hold the tiebreaker in case they finish with the same record. It's a toss up at this point. The Rangers are free falling but all they have to do is right the ship for a week and be right back in the drivers seat.
  4. The Jays can't hit s*** pitching. Miller is an actual prospect with high velo. I hope I'm wrong, but he will sail through 4 innings against this lineup.
  5. Was hoping to see one of the A's shitball relievers. Miller probably carves up the Jays here for the next 3 innings if he's allowed to pitch that much.
  6. I hate that a 2-1 deficit feels a lot bigger than it should be even against a s*** team.
  7. Hal is not George. They definitely care about payroll. With that said, if they are sincere about the youth movement and are ready to use a bunch of $750k guys in starting spots (Volpe, Dominguez, Peraza, Wells, etc), then they might be willing to get in the Ohtani bidding. Hal cares about attendance, and Ohtani would definitely keep attendance up next season coming off a down year in 2023. Still say he goes to the Dodgers though.
  8. Now let Bassitt complete this s***.
  9. That escalated quickly. Finally.
  10. If KK hits the ball in the air, it better be to the warning track for Kirk to score.
  11. Merrifield since Aug 1 has a 64 wRC+ (not counting tonight). The Jays really need Bo, Belt, and Jansen back.
  12. If Kirk was the runner on 3rd, they would have sent him.
  13. Mariners lost and Rangers about to lose. The Jays better win tonight.
  14. Trea Turner had sex on the day he signed his contract.
  15. Yeah, I’m sure they wouldn’t mind trading him for the right deal, but this is selling massively low. Can’t see them doing that. Certainly not after this season. After next season if he’s coming off another bad year then maybe, but even then the return would be so minimal that it wouldn’t be worth it vs keeping him and hoping he has a big contract year.
  16. The Jays barely beating the worst teams in baseball, and frustrating the hell out of all of us, but will sit half a game out of a playoff spot after today.
  17. If Atkins is still GM, then I doubt it. He already fired his first manager choice. He had a chance to actually have a legit manager search after last season, but couldn't wait to sign JS to an extension after blowing the Mariners series.
  18. Did Schneider really take Berrios out at 84 pitches so he could use Garcia and Jackson in a close game? A season where the Jays are 10+ games over .500 shouldn't be this infuriating to sit through.
  19. I think people can have rose colored glasses when it comes to Gibby, especially the 2015 version, but holy s*** he runs circles around the guys Atkins has hired. Montoyo and Schneider making the same mistakes over and over again is just unwatchable, and you can't put all the blame on them because they are likely just doing what the org wants. Spending $85m on the rotation and not letting them throw more than 85 pitches a start when things are going well is absurd.
  20. Berrios might need extra rest after today, 84 pitches has to be a season high for him. f*** JS.
  21. Aside from the fact that he was blocked by Vlad/Belt this season, Horowitz on July 1 was hitting .297/.419/.390 in AAA. For a 1B/DH, that wasn't good enough to call up on a team trying to contend. In July/Aug, he hit .394/.498/.644, so the power for whatever reason started to develop and he became a more interesting prospect. Now was probably the right time to call him up. I could definitely see Schneider and Horowitz replacing Merrifield and Belt next season. Maybe Orelvis has a chance at 3B too, but that's a lot of rookies for a team that will likely be very desperate to make the playoffs, so they might prefer the stopgap route.
  22. Good news is the Jays are behind both teams by 1.5 games now, and one of the teams is going to lose every night over the next 3 days, so there's a chance to make ground. The bad news is, the Jays are going to have to win their games, and even with the s***** competition that's not a certainty.
  23. Pen has to eat up 5 innings, which means at least 5-6 relievers used if JS goes with his usual pattern. Hopefully he brings in Francis and tries to get some length instead.
  24. Nice to see some prospects contributing in Aug/Sept.
  25. The balanced schedule likely saved a lot of jobs in Toronto. If this were the unbalanced schedule days, it would have been ugly.
