    Kay came up big tonight.

    The game's been going on for 2 hours and we're only in the top of the 5th inning. With the Jays pen having to throw 6+ innings, we could be here until the morning.
  3. glory
    That Hernandez called strike 3 ruined that inning. Jays should be slaughtering Sheffield, now have to hope Thornton and the pen can hold them for 6 innings.
  4. glory
    Jays offense better score off Sheffield. He looks like crap tonight and got lucky in the first two innings.
  5. glory
    The issue is none of the people talking are actual commentators. They work studio shows on MLB Network. Big difference and it shows.
  6. glory
    I think the YouTube games are a great idea. Everyone has access to it regardless of location and that's really MLB's biggest problem (reaching people) given their reliance on cable.

    They offered Semien a long term deal before settling on one year, so maybe they'd be open to overpaying him after the season, but my guess is the long term offer they gave him prior to the season was slanted towards the team, and his next FA deal will not be. The front office has spent big in free agency, but in the two recent examples, they went with Ryu (pitching) and Springer (an outfielder in an org absolutely devoid of capable OF talent). If the team views Martin and Groshans as long term pieces, then I could see them continuing to go short term with infield/outfield fixes until they can incorporate those guys in. Of course, I'm not saying the Jays can't re-sign Semien and still incorporate prospects. They could. Also, prospects fail while Semien is a legit elite talent, so obviously bringing him back is the higher percentage move short term. Just that would they spend over $100m to do it?

    Without question the majority of players who try it will fail and end up picking one or the other. Ohtani is just a once in a century talent, literally.
  9. glory
    Yeah if Ohtani keeps this up, then he'll win MVP easily regardless of how WAR shakes out, and honestly, I'd be fine with that. The modern day Babe Ruth winning the MVP is perfectly reasonable. Going to be interesting to see what happens with two way players in the future. Ohtani's success might open the flood gates in terms of prospects wanting to become two way players, if it hasn't already.

    I think Atkins wants to incorporate Martin, Groshans, and Moreno as the next wave of talent to hit the big leagues within the next 2 years, so I doubt they'll invest that much on Semien. Hard to say what he'll get in free agency since last winter was a Covid-influenced down market, and this winter will have a CBA negotiation. He should get $100m+ given the type of player he's been since 2019 but who knows how teams will be spending.
  11. glory
    Yeah, Semien wants his one big contract and he wasn't going to settle in a down market. Smart move. Someone (I think Davidi) reported that the Jays and Semien discussed a longer term deal before eventually settling on one. I don't think it was ever close to happening, it was probably just the Jays trying to lock up a good player at a lower price, but would have been great for the Jays if it happened (not so great for Semien though as clearly he deserves a big contract after his 2019 and now 2021).
  12. glory
    Damn I wish the Jays and Semien agreed to that 4 year deal they apparently discussed. He's going to get his money this winter and he deserves it.
  13. glory
    Uh oh.
  14. glory
    But we should vote for him to the All Star game, apparently.
  15. glory
    What a stretch by Vlad. Dude can do everything.
  16. glory
    Bullpen time.
  17. glory
    Another HR for Schwarber.
  18. glory
    Teams could have had Reese for free and didn't do it. Will there be more interest after his hot streak? I don't know, but seems unlikely. My guess is one of Jansen or Kirk will be in AAA while McGuire stays on. I would hope Jansen is the one who goes to AAA, but wouldn't shock me if it's Kirk knowing that Montoyo bases playing time on years of service (aka the Joe Panik rule).
  19. glory
    I wouldn't vote for Randal if you paid me to.
  20. glory
    Seriously, Joe Panik is gone! This is amazing. I've been waiting for this day since his minor league contract was confirmed before the season. I knew Buntoyo would play him too much and dude was awful as expected. If Atkins wasn't going to fire Charles, then taking his vetrins away will at least mitigate some of his stupid lineup decisions.
  21. glory
    I just saw Panik going the other way and it’s already a win. Don’t even care who the Jays got back.
  22. glory
    Seeing pitchers get exposed is the best thing about this sticky stuff saga.
  23. glory
    While 100 wRC+ Espinal with better defense rots on the bench.
  24. glory
    If Grichuk doesn’t lead the league in DPs, he has to be in the top 5.
  25. glory
    Panik is going to play 4 days a week (minimum) even with everyone healthy. I don’t know how but Buntoyo will find a way.
