    I'm for Suggs as well. I wouldn't be upset with any of Suggs, Green, or Mobley, but my guess is it will come down to Suggs or Green (Mobley won't get past 3 IMO). A FVV/Suggs backcourt would work, and he fits in perfectly with this team.

    Samad Taylor turning into a power hitter was a development I wasn't expecting. His K% in June is 23.9%, so he's improving in that area after his big K May. Still only 22. I don't know if the club views him as a potential trade piece or someone they plan to protect in the Rule 5 next season, but he's gone from potential sleeper the past few years to intriguing.

    Pitchers cheat....then throw a fit when the league tells umpires to make sure they are not cheating anymore. I'll take the meltdowns if it means pitchers aren't using any illegal substances.

    Wander Franco just tied the game at the Trop with a 3 run HR.

    Montoyo being suspended for any reason is a positive.

    Baseball needs to get some new, fresh blood into their announcing ranks. The Jays broadcast when it’s just Buck and Pat is like the dictionary definition of “out of touch”. Can’t promote the sport to a younger demo with guys like that still employed in prominent roles.

    The super two cut off must be over. No other reason why the Rays would call Franco up.

    Shed Long game winning GS for the Mariners as they sweep the Rays. About time the Rays start losing.

    I don't live in Canada, but man that sounds like a s*** show. Some baseball stadiums are allowing full capacity now. The NBA playoffs are in front of packed arenas. Yet the Jays maybe, possibly, if everything goes right, might get to play in Toronto some time in August with no guarantee of how many fans will even be allowed in, combined with whatever quarantining rules they'll force on the players (which they'll say no to). What a mess.

    Didn't read the article, but the 2nd WC team in the AL right now is currently 43-29. If Manfred got his wish and had a 14 team expanded playoffs, the final playoff spot in the AL would go to the Yankees at 38-33. It's not a weak AL. If anything there are more average-good teams (to go along with the really good/great teams) than in previous years where there were a lot of bad teams that resulted in inflated win totals for the actual good teams. Probably won't see that this season.

    If Chatwood blows another game……

    Teoscar back and Espinal at third against a righty instead of Joe “Charlie thinks my last name is DiMaggio” Panik. Time to win the series.

    Pitching to Vlad when Grichuk is on deck. O's will be O's.
  14. glory
    Grichuk batting cleanup and a bottom 4 of Panik, Espinal, Hoying (who?), and McGuire. This season went to hell very quickly.

    It's not about the Jays being around .500, it's about how far behind they are of a playoff spot that should determine whether they buy or sell. The Jays right now are 7.5 back of the 2nd WC, 8.5 back of the 1st WC, and 9 back of the division. A nice run over the next few weeks should shave those games back a bit, but unless the team is within 5 games of a playoff spot, I wouldn't say buying is guaranteed. With that said, sellers at the deadline recently are not getting great hauls, so could always keep Semien, Ray, etc, and either try to extend them or in Semien's case a QO.

    I wasn’t comparing Grichuk and Pillar’s bats, just their overall value as I see both as 4th OF’s. Pillar has been better than Grichuk since the Jays acquired the latter, and it’s sad.
  17. glory
    Lol at Panik as DH. I don’t mind the Jays collapsing this season if it means Buntoyo is fired. Not taking this back. I don’t want this doofus managing the 2022-25 teams that figure to be better than this one. Take one on the chin this season.

    Ohtani is in the HR derby. If Vlad and Tatis participate as well, then that’s a perfect storm for MLB marketing. Home run derby with the biggest young stars in Denver where the ball will fly out (unless the Manfred baseballs get in the way). Promote the hell out of that.

    It's easy to get fooled by Grichuk hot streaks because when he's hot, he's really hot. You want to believe he's turned a corner. Then the cold streak comes and you realize that he is what he is, and always will be. Even if Springer were healthy all season I would have expected Grichuk to play a lot more than Tellez (minor league managers will always favor the vetrins), and I expect nothing different when Springer gets back. Unfortunately, Grichuk is probably never going to be used as a true 4th OF as long as he's on this team given his "tenure" and contract. If he ever was used that way, then he'd be a lot more valuable over the course of a season. Since 2018: Grichuk: 3.8 WAR, 1587 PA Pillar: 5.1 WAR, 1545 PA Expectations for the Grichster should be pretty darn low at this point.

    Panik will play at least 4 days a week even when Springer gets back. I'm not sure how, but Charles will find a way.

    Stripling has resembled a very solid bottom of the rotation starter since he and Walker fixed whatever his issue was. That's one bright spot in all of this.
  22. glory
    The Jays are 20-18 on the road despite the hardest schedule in the league, but can't play any home real games. At least the Raptors were at the end of their run when they were forced to play elsewhere. One elite Vlad season going to waste playing in ST complexes and minor league parks where the fans cheer the other team. BS. / rant

    I want Gurriel to get the GW hit and then flip the crowd off. Or just flip the crowd off regardless of the result.
  24. glory
    Sanchez checking on the umpire sold it.
  25. glory
    At least Grichuk can't hit into a DP.
