    When people shitted on the idea of signing Britton for the bullpen, this is why I was for it. Schenider thinks Mayza is a lot better than he is, and it's going to hurt this team like it did last year.
  2. glory
    Mayza facing Goldschmidt and possibly Arenado seems on brand for Schneider.

    Pop with the much needed GB.
  4. glory
    Well instead of Pearson in this spot, we get Pop. Let's see what happens.
  5. glory
    Hopefully he can get through 5 and keep them at 3 runs.

    "Without naming any names that could have been 2 or 3 last year". Damn even Buck throwing shots at last year's OF defense.
  7. glory
    An OF with 3 CF's will be fun to watch.
  8. glory
    Why the hell did Bo throw that?
  9. glory
    Great AB by Varsho.
  10. glory
    Finished with 32 combined K's and game time was still only 2:33. Pitch clock is going to work long term.
  11. glory
    You could remove the last 4 words of that sentence and it would still be accurate.

    Yeah it was nice seeing what the scores were and what the situation was (how many runners on base, etc) for other games at the top. Made it easy to flip to other games when there was a more exciting situation. Not sure why they got rid of that. The mobile version other than not having the other scores on top seems much better than the desktop version, which is complete ass all the way around.

    The new Gameday is awful. Not user friendly at all. But yes super pumped that it is opening day. Watching the Yankees game, then the Jays game, and then whatever else in the evening. Great to have baseball back.

    Varsho in the clean up spot instead of Belt is an interesting choice. Hopefully, Varsho can have a big year with the bat to match his defensive ability.

    I think the baffling part is that Lukes, Lopez, Pop, and Pearson all have options. It’s not like they would lost anyone if Lopez and Pearson made the team so you can’t even point to options to rationalize the decisions. Having Pearson throw any pitches in AAA at this point is crazy. At least wanting Lopez to play everyday is understandable.
  16. glory
    Had to figure Lukes was making it given how long he was on the 40 man roster. I hope his defense and base running is at least above average. Bernard would have made more sense as a seldom used bench player but the FO clearly sees something in Lukes or wants to reward him for something.
  17. glory
    Alec Bohm probably belongs at 1B but then they’d need a 3B, and I think all they have is Sosa and Harrison as options. Would improve the defense if nothing else. But yeah sucks for Hoskins given this was his free agent year.
  18. glory
    Yeah when Nate is healthy he should be on the big league club at this point. No sense wasting whatever bullets he has on minor league batters.
  19. glory
    Ohtani going to pitch to Trout in the 9th.

    If they want the last bench spot to be Bradley Zimmer 2.0 (meaning never touches a bat but pinch runs and defensive replacement), then Bernard > Lukes. If they want the last bench spot to actually contribute, then Lopez > Lukes. Maybe I'm being harsh on Lukes, but the Jays have kept him on the 40 man roster all winter and spring, and for the life of me I don't understand why. He seems completely fungible as a talent. As mentioned he would have made way more sense on the 2022 Jays with their s*** outfield defense and lack of LH bats, but I just don't see what he brings to the table for the 2023 team.

    Yeah, March Madness is an institution in the US while the WBC is still a relatively new concept. Not to mention there has been a 6 year break with the WBC due to the pandemic. It's going to take time to grow it domestically. The quality of play in this WBC will certainly help though. Seeing a lot more buzz for it on social media in the past few days. Ultimately I think the goal of this is more to grow the game globally rather than just in the US.
  22. glory
    I really hope Lopez wins the spot. Not sure what the club sees in Lukes.
  23. glory
    It's a shame Sasaki won't come to MLB until about 2027. He'd probably be an ace now.
  24. glory
    Agreed. They wanted a more balanced lineup, better defense, better base running, and more team control in the OF (Springer was the only OF locked up beyond 2023 heading into the off season). Hernandez and Gurriel each had only a year of control left, were both RHB, and both had issues with defense/base running. I feel like the roster fit for what Atkins wanted was a much bigger factor than personality. If Hernandez was a LHB with above average defense and the exact same personality, would they have traded him? Just to replace him with KK? I very much doubt it. With that said, I do think the Jays want to get more serious, which Bichette alluded to and the elimination of the HR jacket points to as well, but the roster turnover seems way more about specific skillsets that the front office was looking for.
  25. glory
    I feel like calling the current team the "White Jays" would be an insult to the mid-2000's teams that JP Ricciardi built.
