    Billy Beane is the Raptors, and the Yankees are LeBron James. Can't beat them regardless of what decade it is.
  2. glory
    Damn, Stanton crushed that.

    MLB is going to pimp the s*** out of New York vs. Boston, as they should. That will get all the prime time spots, and the only chance MLB has of getting mainstream buzz.

    The Jays took advantage of that too in 2015 and 2016. I mean the 2015 Jays were legitimately bad ass, but still came at a weak time in the AL East. 3 playoff appearances in 5 years, with 93, 96, and 89 wins is still pretty impressive. I hate the O's and am glad they are going through hard times now, but can't discredit them for that. If 2012 was their only playoff year (82 win pythag) then yeah it was a fluke run, but can't fluke 3 in 5. Doesn't make Rogers tampering to talk to Duquette any less ridiculous though. Shapiro saved our asses.

    The moment Rodney came in you had to know it was over right there. Yankees can beat the Red Sox. Sorry can't hate on the Yanks. They make good trades and develop from within. Everything we want the Jays to become. Don't hate the prototype.
  6. glory
    Yeah I don't think Duquette is nearly as bad as his reputation seems to be now. The O's had a five year run where they made the playoffs three times (2012-16) until the last two seasons. That's more playoff appearances than the Jays have had the past 25 years while in the same f'n division. He was also GM of the really good Boston teams of the mid/late 90s, which Epstein benefited from. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful like crazy that we have Shapiro, but DD isn't awful.

    Yankees advancing is good for baseball. small market teams advancing is boring as s***.

    If Gray gets traded and it's not to Toronto, I'd be disappointed. As far as upside, that's as high as they can realistically go (assuming the Rox are fed up with him). Other than that, I'm guessing Atkins will trade for the Sp equivalent of 2017 Randal Grichuk. A pitcher who has a lot of potential but is not reaching it and hoping a change of scenery will help. Don't know who that could be, but I'm not expecting a big signing or trade. Maybe that's Gray if the Rockies undervalue him as much as it appears.

    Out of that group, I expect Perez, Murphy, Romano, Waguespack, Wall, and Ramirez to be protected. Copping is borderline.
  10. glory
    They should have put Schwarber in there with the bases loaded instead of Heyward. That was the bigger mistake. Definitely looking more and more like Maddon was a product of the Rays org, not the other way around. He made a bunch of mistakes when the Cubs won the WS too.
  11. glory
    Damn, Davis was signed to a 3/52 deal. Sheesh. Trade for Gray, Shatkins. Take advantage of the Rox.
  12. glory
    Even the umps don't want the Rox to move on. I don't blame them.
  13. glory
    Elite base stealers are fun to watch. Not too many of them out there. Gore can't do anything else, but that's a valuable weapon in the playoffs.
  14. glory
    Not pinch hitting Schwarber with the bases loaded was pretty darn stupid.
  15. glory
    Rockies about to derp their way into the NLDS.

    Any other team than the Astros we get a middling prospect at best. The Astros trade intriguing prospects like candy though.
  17. glory
    Yeah anyone who credits AA for the Braves is either dumn or a troll, but I think we will hear a lot of it over the next week or so, especially if they advance. I actually think AA is smart as hell for what he did though. Let someone else to clean up his mess, left as a cult hero, and then got the best job any executive could ask for, while probably getting a huge bump in pay.
  18. glory
    More trades with the Astros works for me. They don't mind trading good prospects, even in salary dumps. Eat up a large chunk of Martin's deal and I think the Jays get a good/solid prospect from the Astros (assuming they have interest). Any other team, I wouldn't expect much.
  19. glory
    Over their last 11 starts, Happ is 7-0 with a 2.69 ERA (4.21 FIP) while Severino is 5-5 with a 5.12 ERA (3.21 FIP). So yeah, combination of W/L and ERA. I don't know what OAK's splits are against lefties and righties, but it's really a toss up here. Severino is better, but for one game match ups are very important. Plus the Yankees probably go with Green for 2-3 innings and then Robertson/Betances/Chapman for another 3-4 so they won't even use the starter much.
  20. glory
    I kinda hope they hold on to Pompey. The Jays will need a 4th OF anyway and no sense losing anyone with even a tiny bit of upside for nothing since we are rebuilding. But yeah, not being called up in Sept combined with his attitude issues in AAA probably spell the end for him. He'll be in Atlanta by November. Other than that, I don't think there is a crunch. Even when the Jays start adding all the talent they need to add (Wall, Waguespack, Perez, Ramirez, etc), they still have enough s*** on the 40 man as is that they can jettison. Once they start adding FA's, then it will possibly be an issue.

    I don't think I will ever understand why AA drafts players he doesn't think he can sign. I have never been worried about the Jays signing a draft pick since Shatkins took over, but with AA, you never knew. On the plus side, we will get to hear how great AA is over the next few days as he single handedly brought Atlanta back to the playoffs. Not like he inherited 98% of the team or anything, it was all him. /sportsnet.ca.

    There was talk from Davidi that Alford was called up two weeks later than everyone else this month because of super 2 reasons (he can now play 2 full seasons without being a super 2). I wonder if that means they will put him at CF next year and let him sink or swim there. Otherwise they will face the same super 2 issue next year if he’s called up mid season.
  23. glory
    It seems like an eternity ago, but April was pretty fun. It went downhill quick after that though.
  24. glory
    Martin got practically all of Sept off. I'd be surprised if he's even on the team next year. He's not managing next year. Maybe someday in the future.
  25. glory
    I think the Yankees can beat Boston. Not sure about the A's. Definitely rooting for the Astros over the Indians. Astros actually won a division, while the Indians were under .500 against teams not in the Central. F them and their weak ass division.
