  1. Gardner is prime Kenny Lofton every time he faces the Jays.
  2. Tonight's lineup: Bo, Semien, Vlad, Teoscar, Kirk, Gurriel, Grichuk, Jansen, Smith. Thankfully, Grichuk isn't leading off.
  3. Lefty on the mound for the Yankees tonight, so curious to see if Charlie outdoes himself and puts Grichuk in the lead off spot.
  4. I wish Dyson could hit even a little bit. Defense and base running still elite.
  5. No question he was the right call tonight.
  6. I don't think Pearson was warming up to pitch the 9th. I think he was coming in if Cimber reached a certain pitch count and couldn't finish the 8th.
  7. Chapman getting booed off the field has happened a lot this season.
  8. I get that, but what's the cut off for using Romano? 4 runs? 5 runs? At some point they need to trust an arm to hold a 4+ run lead, especially against a struggling offense, rather than keep throwing Romano out there when the leverage isn't the highest.
  9. Chapman without sticky stuff looks like he's a fringe bullpen arm some nights.
  10. Romano warming up. Not sure why they didn't use Pearson when it was 5-1 last night.
  11. Dyson as a pinch runner and defensive replacement is definitely an asset, even when his bat is washed.
  12. It was a perfect storm for Jeter. A HOF career on one of the most valuable franchises in sports, in the biggest media market, and 5 championships.
  13. I think I'd be fine with that regardless of whether it works or not.
  14. The issue is Biggio's trade value at this point is probably so low that he provides more value to the team than he does in a trade. He still has four years of control left, was a good player prior to 2021, and also fills a position of need since they will need a 2B and 3B next season (assuming Semien leaves). If Semien does leave, then moving Biggio back to 2B and finding a 3B is probably the most sensible plan. If Ramirez and Chapman are available in the winter, then Groshans is a valuable trade piece (though it would require a lot more than that to get Ramirez.......not sure what Chapman's price would look like).
  15. I was hacked when I suggested they should have considered selling (and buying simultaneously) at the deadline to prepare for 2022. It wasn't actually me. I hate when that happens.
  16. I feel like Semien would be the better/safer investment, but as others have mentioned Ray is more important to the team from a construction standpoint. Replacing Ray would be very difficult. With Semien, if the Jays traded for someone like Matt Chapman (A's falling out of WC race and potentially moving out of Oakland so maybe it's possible) and moved Biggio back to 2B, then they would save money and probably be a wash value-wise (or only a minor downgrade). It's going to be harder to find a Ray replacement, even if you assume Ray's 2022-beyond won't be ace quality. Attracting pitching to Toronto is not easy as well. Would Ray be easier to bring back? Who knows. It does seem like he likes the org and Pete Walker, and he's already signed back once. Jays are going to have to give him the best offer regardless. Semien always gave off the vibe that he was here because the Jays offered him the most money over one year. Now that his value is back up to normal and more teams will have $ to spend, maybe he'll value other things besides money now since he'll likely get a big deal from someone regardless.
  17. Kirk better play every f***ing game from this point on.
  18. Sanchez only had one good season in his entire pro career, and it was 2016. Wasn't good before or since (at least as a SP). From memory, his minor league numbers were pretty s*** for a top prospect. This is the first season in Ray's career that he's looked like an ace, but his pre 2020 numbers were good. If the expectation is that he'll be somewhere between his pre 2020 numbers and his 2021 numbers over the next few years, then that's pretty damn good, but if you're expecting him to repeat this season again, then it's probably optimistic. Semien has been a MVP caliber player for the last two full seasons. He's probably the safer bet.
  19. Soria was an all star like a decade ago, so in Buntoyo's mind, he has what it takes in the high pressure spots.
  20. He used Mayza, Richards, and Cimber yesterday, so I'm guessing, what Soria and Pearson to bridge to Romano (assuming the Jays still have a lead after Soria is walking off the field)?
  21. Use Cimber in a 8-0 game yesterday....... warm up Soria to come into a 4-1 game the next night.
  22. Even Yankee announcers are wondering why he wasn't walking gingerly back to the dugout after being taken out. Kirk ripped the man's heart out is a more likely explanation.
  23. As I said before if Springer is not healthy then Kirk is the answer at DH. Of course he’s not a vetrin so I’m sure Charlie will disagree but get Kirk’s bat in the lineup as much as possible.
