  1. Shed Long game winning GS for the Mariners as they sweep the Rays. About time the Rays start losing.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Pitching to Vlad when Grichuk is on deck. O's will be O's.
  6. Grichuk batting cleanup and a bottom 4 of Panik, Espinal, Hoying (who?), and McGuire. This season went to hell very quickly.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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
  15. I want Gurriel to get the GW hit and then flip the crowd off. Or just flip the crowd off regardless of the result.
  16. Yelling at Panik for any reason is justified.
  17. Why the f*** is Panik playing? I’m positive Montoyo is doing this intentionally to troll us.
  18. For his career, Clint actually hits LHP slightly worse than RHP too. I probably would have saved Romano for DJ onwards, but I don't play 4D chess.
  19. Grichuk has 10 GDP this season. You can set your watch to it.
  20. Yeah I know there are a ton of injuries, but this pen is one you'd expect to see on the 2019 team. They won't beat good teams consistently like this.
  21. Well, this one's not on Buntoyo. Outside of Romano, this pen is ass. Just have to put someone in and pray.
