    Springer is a guaranteed DP at this point.

    Varsho is going to have a wRC+ under 70 soon at this rate. If he has options left and can be sent down, then they really need to consider it. Even for a great CF that’s s***. In LF it’s horrendous.

    Trading Manoah now would be selling way low, and he’s still cheap enough to be a reclamation project next season. If someone values him like pre-2023 Manoah then you absolutely move him in a deal like that, but otherwise I’d hold and hope he bounces back next season. I actually think Tim Anderson is right up Atkins’ alley as far as pickups. Massive buy low due to horrendous 2023 so far and has a team option for 2024 so he’s controllable beyond this season. Whether it makes sense for the 2023 team is another story, but wouldn’t shock me if that’s where they go. There’s talk on Twitter that apparently Morosi mentioned the Jays having interest in Anderson (no idea if that’s true as I didn’t see it) but seems like the type of deal Atkins would make.

    Merrifield doesn't make that mistake.

    If the Jays lose this game, and they probably will, then I hope it’s an embarrassing one. Having Manoah start again when you are clinging to the last WC spot is insanity, and they should feel as embarrassed as they deserve to be. Best case the Jays offense scores like 12 runs and they win anyway, but I’m not holding my breath on that one.

    Horowitz has the offensive skill set that this org seems to like nowadays (low K’s, high contact). Normally I’d agree that he’s trade bait, and maybe he is, but it also wouldn’t shock me if they view him as a platoon DH next season. As bad as the season started for the farm system, they have 4 players who could conceivably contribute to the 2024 team (Orelvis, Barger, Horowitz, Schneider). My guess is Schneider is probably traded in the next 10 days, but curious to see how open the team is to playing prospects next season.

    With Manoah starting tomorrow, who is going to take the L and start the GDT?
  8. glory
    Jay Jackson going to be sent down to the minors with the quickness despite actually performing well.
  9. glory
    One of the few times I wish Rogers was still cheap. They are going to let Jimi’s option vest and pay him $6m next season so Schneider can keep using him like he’s an elite late inning reliever for yet another season. As far as this game, we just have to hope they are still holding on to a WC spot by the end of the Dodgers series.
  10. glory
    Aged well.

    Gibby was definitely fired. All you have to do is look at how Buntoyo and Schneider manage to see the type Atkins wanted. Gibby was not that guy.

    Can the Jays add some power at the deadline? Always needing 2-3 hits to score a run is annoying. At least it feels that way.
  13. glory
    I'd rather the Jays play at the Trop than play any games against the Mariners.
  14. glory
    It seems like it's headed this way anyway, but Jansen needs to be the starting catcher with Kirk playing a lot less. As mentioned he's been well below average offensively since July of last season, and he's somehow morphed into a singles hitter which is not good for the fattest/slowest player in the league. As a backup CA making the minimum, he's fine, so it's not hurting to have him on the roster, but if July 2022-onwards is his new norm, then he's not a starting caliber player in MLB even with his good defense. Have him backup Jansen for now and if the bat starts to come around again, then adjust playing time accordingly.

    Schneider likely has an order to not use Kikuchi the 3rd time through the order. That's what their analytics tell them and the Jays consistently follow that rather than what's happening on the field. Sometimes they will be right, but times like yesterday they had to use more common sense, and they didn't do it.
  16. glory
    Garcia has an easily attainable vesting option for 2024 at $6m. It’s based on appearances so you know damn well he will reach it. I’m hoping he’s involved in a deadline deal but probably not.
  17. glory
    Manoah will have 78 pitches thrown by the 3rd inning on Sunday and Schneider will have no one warming up. This org is at the mercy of their own analytics.
  18. glory
    If Tiedemann is healthy and pitching 4-5 innings within a few weeks, then call his ass up.
  19. glory
    Kirk hitting for power. Finally. Need him to have a big 2 months.
  20. glory
    7 walks and 5 singles. Guillermo can’t wipe that smile off his face.
  21. 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?
  22. glory
    Vlad in 2025 is going to have a MVP caliber year. That's the only thing I'll bank on with him.
  23. glory
    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.
  24. glory
    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.
  25. glory
    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.
