    Great move for the Rays. I wanted the Jays to get Cruz, but Grichuk and his .270 OBP will forever be playing everyday on this team, so I just have to get used to it.

    Very good offense, strong bullpen, good enough SP with Sale on the way. Not to mention an actual smart front office now (no more Dombrowski) so they'll probably make good trades at the deadline. I don't think they are falling off this season.
  3. glory
    Yeah I know nothing about any of those guys, but "son of Andruw Jones" is enough for me. He was destined to be a Blue Jay.

    After tonight the Jays will be 5-13 against Tampa, Boston, and the Yankees at "home" and 10-8 against them on the road. Getting out of Buffalo/Dunedin will be long overdue.

    The Red Sox could win 100 games and posters here will still say they suck. I get it, I hate Boston too, but they might just be a really good team. Cora is a cheater, but for him to cheat the moment he's back in the league after a one year suspension would take some balls.
  6. glory
    This front office hasn't traded prospects often. The best one they've moved is probably Kendall Williams (unless I'm forgetting someone) who is still very young and far away. I don't think there's any chance they move a top prospect at this stage. My guess is they'll trade for a rental like Jon Gray or someone like that, which should cost something, but not a top prospect.
  7. glory
    Jays probably caught a break here.

    I don't like the Red Sox but some of you are acting as if they are just scraping by. They have 3 players with 140-150 wRC+ and the secondary parts of their lineup are almost all above average offensively. Cora might be cheating again, I have no idea, but that's still a very good lineup. Stripling doesn't have great stuff so when he's having an off day he's going to get crushed. It just happens quite a bit against the Red Sox.

    Montoyo getting to use every reliever in the pen tonight is like heaven for him.
  10. glory
    If you go back to the Stroman trade thread which most of us (me included) did not like at the time, it was Kay that was the issue most had, if I recall. That trade always hinged on SWR.
  11. glory
    Anthony Kay f***ing sucks. This game will go on forever if he's expected to eat up innings against a good offense.
  12. glory
    Charlie going 14 innings without a pitching change would have caused his own head to explode. He had to take Matz out.
  13. glory
    Yeah, listening to Buck and Pat is like listening to a broadcast from 1974. Shulman is great, just need someone who is more in tune with the current game to go along side him. Buck and Pat ain't it.
  14. glory
    Yeah, my guess is whatever Shapiro proposed to them was already approved by the MLBPA, so if the country agrees to what was proposed, then it should be fine.
  15. glory
    Nice, glad I was wrong. Time to go on that second half run now.
  16. glory
    Yeah the 3 days with the draft, derby, and AS Game were great for baseball. The draft felt like a big deal being on primetime on a Sunday, and the derby and AS game did a great job spotlighting the young talent in the game today. I saw universal praise on social media for baseball, for the most part, and that's exactly what they need. I actually enjoyed this AS break, and that's usually never the case.
  17. glory
    Yeah, no chance the MLBPA agrees to that. They'll be staying in Buffalo at least for the rest of this season.
  18. glory
    I'm actually rooting for that exact scenario (not trading Ray and Semien, the part before that). Winning a World Series in Buffalo would be poetic justice.
  19. glory
    If you're talking about US endorsements, then yes, having someone who speaks english would be beneficial, although I suspect Ohtani is going to get more endorsements in the coming months given how much hype there has been around him, so it may not matter. As mentioned, MLB is starting to build their marketing around him now. Vlad will suffer because he plays in Canada, so his reach in the US might be impacted by that, not his lack of fluency in english.
  20. glory
    I think we have to accept the fact that the Jays are going to spend the entire season in Buffalo. If Canada forces anything on the players (vaccinations, quarantining, etc) it's not going to go over well with the MLBPA, and given how slow the Canadian government has been in this whole process, I'd be shocked if they'd allow more fans at RC than they currently allow in Buffalo. I'd love if the Jays went on a huge 2nd half run, made the playoffs, were granted permission to play in Toronto again, but then told Canada that they'd rather host the playoff games in Buffalo. It won't happen, but pettiness can be appropriate some times.
  21. glory
    Yeah I never understood why people care if an athlete can or can't speak english. I think I read that the HR derby got over 7 million viewers on ESPN, and it was a show built around a Japanese player who can't speak english (well). Fans don't (and shouldn't) care. As far as "the face of baseball", it's going to be Tatis regardless of how good Ohtani and Vlad are. Tatis is super charismatic and looks cool doing just about anything. That's going to play better to the younger audiences and sponsors.

    I am in the minority for liking both rules. The 7 inning games tend to breeze by, which makes two games in a day a lot easier to get through, and so far (I don't have any numbers on this) it seems like most extra inning games are ending at a reasonable inning rather than going 19 or 20. Maybe compromise and start the runner on 2nd in the 11th inning to give each team one shot at it conventionally, but shortening extra inning games to me is a good thing.
  23. glory
    Yeah based on everything I've read on social media, the HR derby was getting great reviews, especially the Ohtani/Soto round. I think this format works, they just need to figure out a way to make the actual home runs more visible, but that's more an ESPN issue.
  24. glory
    I can see why they changed it. If they had the old rule, Ohtani ends up with like 1 home run since he was drilling everything into the ground or hitting line drives initially before he started getting hot. Although yes, the old rule made you pay attention to and appreciate every home run. There has to be a middle ground somewhere, but I don't trust ESPN to ever find it.
  25. glory
    That was fun. Kinda glad Ohtani lost, dude was exhausted and he has to pitch +lead off tomorrow night. Keep that man healthy.
