    Upton caught looking in game 1 of the ALCS or that pitch from Smith right down the middle of the plate called a ball: which was worse?
  2. glory
    LOL. Pitch right down the middle, ball.
  3. glory
    -0.4 WAR, 46 wRC+ heading into tonight. Breakout potential.
  4. glory
    Gibbons proving once again that he's just good for putting out a lineup. When the hick has to think, he's a liability.
  5. glory
    Still too early, but if it turns out that they guessed right about him, then they deserve a s*** ton of credit. That extension was a lot of faith in whatever analytics they look at. If it turns out that he's not a total scrub, then 2+1 at a cheap rate is pretty darn good. But again, I'll have to see this over a full season.
  6. glory
    Possible but he's out of options next year and plays for a team that has an asset hoarding front office. They kept f***ing Goins on the roster rather than risk losing him. Pompey has a shot. Whether he ends up being any good is a different story.
  7. glory
    What are the chances of going with a Pompey-Pillar-Alford outfield in 2018 (assuming Pompey isn't dead)? Or will they trade the gay hating bastard and go with Alford in CF?
  8. glory
    Did Alford get called up? It's floating around on Twitter, but none of the usual Jays reporters are reporting it.
  9. glory
    Woodman isn't a prospect until his K rate goes down, and he's already 22. Not a fan, but I guess he has time to improve. Bichette and Vladdy are the future, my friends.

    Don't need a complete tear down in baseball. If the Jays can keep being competitive while the farm system has time to catch up, then that's probably the best alternative. The issues with this team are still issues though.
  11. glory
    Agreed. I hate the O's more than any other team but 3 playoff appearances in 5 years and first place so far in year 6 of their run. Duquette and Buck know what they are doing, even if the roster consistently looks average.
  12. glory
    Smith Jr. should play everyday when the team gives up eventually. Maybe they have something there. If not, at least he was given a real shot.
  13. glory
    The Jays want to tank like an NBA team. More Latos helps with that.
  14. glory
    Any chance they stretch out Biagini? Threw 41 pitches in his last outing. Can't see why they can't work off that and stretch him out over a few starts.
  15. glory
    Figures last season the Jays had Chavez, Hutch, and Floyd as their depth starters and never needed them. This year their depth starters are Latos, Lawrence, and Bolsinger (I guess), and they'll probably need them a bunch with Happ/Sanchez already out, and Stroman doing his best Thor impression.
  16. glory
    Never build around young pitching.
  17. glory
    I wouldn't mind trading Estrada and Liriano at the deadline, and then signing them back in the off-season. Someone's going to have to eat up innings. Maybe the Jays get lucky and get a few young position players for those two and then bring them back at $15-16mm aav. I mean they have s*** in the minors as far as pitching depth, and that probably wouldn't change in 2018 (probably 2019 is when some pitching might surface in the upper minors). If you want to retool on the fly, that's the way to do it. I don't think Liriano has any attachment to Toronto, but Estrada might. Trade him in July and make it known that you want him back in the winter. See if they can work out another deal.
  18. glory
    How do you retool if the 2017 team isn't good? Hope for better health from 30-35 year old's, sign two starting pitchers as good as or better than Estrada and Liriano, and still have no help from the minors unless Alford is for real and can cover one of the OF spots next year? A retool would make sense if everyone was injured/underachieving and would regress for the better next year, but it doesn't look like that at all.
  19. glory
    I agree with this if they plan on stripping it down entirely. I don't think Rogers would go for that, though. They might be able to afford to wait another year or two to trade Sanchez/Stroman so the fans don't abandon ship at once. For marketing/PR reasons, ownership would probably want them around, especially if JD is going to be moved (which he should be at this point).
  20. glory
    That.......actually doesn't sound bad.
  21. glory
    They should not have extended him....unless they are fine with him managing the team even if they take a step back. If they didn't extend him, this season was the perfect time to move on. Oh well.
  22. glory
    After b2b ALCS appearances, they had no choice but to try to prolong it. They put a team on paper that looked like a WC contender but it looks like they won't be on that level barring a monster run that is probably not going to happen. Now they have to re adjust their strategy, but making the playoffs in 2017 without losing any prospects was absolutely the right strategy. They just got smacked in the face by age, injuries, and the reality of a small window.
  23. glory
    Injuries + old age. Amaro's Phillies won 100+ one year and then were .500 the next year, and then fell off a cliff. It was going to happen eventually based on the way this team was built and its age. We were just hoping that Shatkins could prolong it a bit. Not likely at this point.
  24. glory
    This April has made me want to rebuild more than ever.
  25. glory
    Osuna's arm was always held together by string. I think he's probably hurt.
