    If the Jays pick up Straw's option this winter, then baseball can lockout for an entire season for all I care. They need so much help offensively. Can't afford to keep running these types of bats out there. The 2025 magic no longer exists.

    2023: 103 wRC+, .147 ISO 2024: 94 wRC+, .150 ISO 2025: 166 wRC+, .251 ISO 2026: 99 wRC+, .152 ISO The 2025 season for Springer was magical, but man, the seasons surrounding it have been so mid.

    Little in his last 9 appearances coming into tonight has a 1.04 ERA and 9.35 BB/9. Seems sustainable.
  4. glory
    Sean Keys with 2 HR's tonight. It's an easy swap for Jesus.
  5. glory
    That Sanchez DFA going to hit like crack.

    Yeah not sure why Straw is starting in LF. Dude can't hit and will never be pinch hit for because of his defense. At least Cameron might run into one, and maybe you can dream a bit on him as a late bloomer. Straw stinks and everything except the Jays org knows he stinks. Of course not like Daz has hit MLB pitching in his career either and is closing in on 30, so probably not much there either. Not a huge deal, but Straw really shouldn't be starting unless it's an emergency.

    The Jays began a tough 20 game stretch starting in Houston a few weeks ago that will end this weekend. I said before it began that they pretty much needed to go something like 12-8 and hold their heads above water to have even a remote chance at a playoff spot. So far they are 11-6 with 3 games to go. So yeah, get at least 1 in NY and they are fine. Obviously two is the goal at a minimum, but props to the team for even getting to this point. They looked dead in the water 3 weeks ago.

    I don't think anyone thinks Bieber is worth the QO at this moment. It's if he maintains this level of performance for the rest of the season. If he does and it's still just smoke and mirrors (basically 2024-25 Berrios) then yeah it's probably an unnecessary overpay even on a 1 year deal, but we have to see what the under the hood numbers look like by the end of the season.

    Bieber s***ing the bed against the Nats before the deadline might end up being a blessing if he’s back to being this effective. I didn’t think he was going to be a QO candidate with the way he was looking earlier but he just might if he keeps this up. Winning 2/3 at the Trop, which probably should have been a sweep, is a good sign. Just get through this weekend and the schedule eases up big time.

    Sanchez either needs to be the full time DH against RHP or playing for the Guangdong Tigers. No in between. This is a win with practically anyone else playing LF. Could be a costly loss for a team with a razor thin margin for error.
  11. glory
    Hard to expect to win a series at the Trop so if they can pull it off and at least split the next two then it would be huge.

    Had the same reaction. McAdoo might not be anything but now is the time to see if you have something with him. He has pop from the right side and can cover 2B/3B. The alternative is Josh Smith in a lost season for him. Seems pretty self explanatory. Maybe McAdoo has shown too much power lately and that will interfere with the team’s “never-ending barrage of singles” strategy.

    The Rays laying an egg against the O’s right before they dog walk the Jays like they normally do is sick work.
  14. glory
    The offense is legitimately trash and having to hope for a Guardians type of run is so frustrating.
  15. glory
    Cease walked off the mound like he just lost his dog knowing that Little was coming in.
  16. glory
    The Toronto Guardians but I’ll take it.
  17. glory
    If Straw is going to be Sanchez’s defensive sub then you can’t have Sanchez batting 4th.
  18. glory
    Yeah Sewald can't be worse than some of the options in the pen right now. Bring him on.
  19. glory
    I’ll give JS credit for recognizing that a 5 run lead doesn’t require your closer in that spot, but Waldron is not a big league pitcher, so there was a good chance Varland was coming in anyway.
  20. glory
    Yeah I would have just put Varland in there if Waldron was the alternative.
  21. glory
    Even during their recent good stretch the team hasn't hit well at all. I just don't see where the offense is going to come from, never mind the rotation issues that were outlined. Would love to be wrong though. The next 11 games against Boston, NYY, and Tampa (at least 3 losses since it's 3 in St. Pete) will be telling. If they go 6-5 in those 11 and no other team ahead of them goes on a run, then they might have a puncher's chance.
  22. glory
    Giving a struggling vetrin with closer experience to JS is terrifying. He'll get the high leverage spots regardless of performance. Hopefully they can fix him for 2 months.
  23. glory
    Not watching, any reason Taillon was pulled after 4 on 60 pitches? The pen is shot.
  24. glory
    Hoffman was signed to be the closer, and the team kept him there all of 2025 even when the numbers suggested they shouldn't have. Then they began 2026 with him in that role again despite how 2025 ended. Then he lost the closer role and became more of a 7th inning guy. A 7th inning guy making $11M a year is a luxury, something the Jays aren't good enough to have at the moment. Getting a prospect with upside (plus other lotto tickets) and reallocating the money next season seems like a far more sensible idea, and I'm glad they did it even if Hill never pans out.

    The team's wRC+ leader on the season is Jesus Sanchez at 110. Only 4 players are at 100 or above on the roster. Top 2 in position player WAR are Gimenez (2.0) and Valenzuela (1.7), meaning the most valuable position players on the team are a dude who can't hit (unless it's a clutch situation apparently) and a backup catcher acquired for Will Wagner. I want to believe, especially since I don't know how much baseball if any we will get in 2027, but the only chance the Jays have is sucking less than six other teams. I would be shocked if they go on a legit heater with the bats they have in the lineup.
