    1. You're an idiot. 2. This move is just insurance against an injury in spring training. Never know when someone is going to roll and ankle on a sprinkler head.

    Didn't realize Grossman is such a LHP masher. I wonder if he should consider scraping the switch hitting gig. He can't cost much at all at this point.

    I mean - the guy certainly has upside. If the Jays experts believed there was something different in his approach (from last year) that they thought was sustainable and deserving of a 3 year deal, then I'd be inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt - yes. Atkins has been pretty damn good at signing FA's. I feel that's a pretty logical take on it, thank you very much. I was just pointing out that Jays24's statement wasn't correct (which he confirmed was certainly cherry picked to include 2018/2019 season - which are essentially irrelevant at this point). But thanks for coming out SBC - quality content as per usual.

    Oh you wait, it will be a red jersey, with the maple leaf and they'll tell you "we're Connecting the Blue Jays and the City of Toronto to the entire county" and then I'll vomit.
  5. Brownie19
    LOL. What are the chances they resist the urge to put the f***ing maple leaf and/or the colour red on the City Connect jersey's? 25%?
  6. Brownie19
    OK - I do like those hats. Jersey's are colourful.
  7. Brownie19
    Which ones? I'm not sure I've been impressed with any of them.
  8. Brownie19
    I'm just telling you - I think that's what several people on this board are thinking right now and they're developing opinions that Atkins is a s***** GM because of it.

    What year were we trading Wells for Kemp/Billingsly?
  10. Brownie19
    People care because there's a perception that we're out of budget and some of the very good players are still unsigned, presumably with their pricing dropping and he may restrict our ability to go sign one of those guys on a bargain.

    Oh wow - I didn't know Ben Wagner was gone. I thought he was great. I would have thought there was room for both either on the radio and/or the television broadcast.
  12. Brownie19
    There's literally zero reason to think this. The probability it's true is probably 5%
  13. Brownie19
    Let's get Ben and Dan together on TV please.
  14. Brownie19
    Well that isn't true at all. His wRC+ for 2021/2022 (combined) is <100. He was good with the bat last year, and in 2018/2019. Dude can't run or play any defense. He has to post a wRC+ >120 to be worth having on your team.

    Then move the other 3, which would save $11.1M (minus what the replacements make). I actually think that's the move to make. We really do need to get a look at some of the players in the upper minors and have several that could step into the roles of Espinal (Jimenez, Clement, Lantigua, Barger, Orelvis) and Richards/Yimi (Cooke, Brock, Danner, Juenger, Van Eyk, etc.)
  16. Brownie19
    Things can change man. All that talk may have been true when the price for Belly was still 6 years $150-$180M and Chapman was 5 years $110M. It certainly appears the market has changed and there's CERTAINLY a possibility that Atkins is reconsidering all options at these new rates - which may include new conversations with Ownership about luxury tax implications.

    Says Ryan Reeves, because he can't play hockey.

    2023 all-star pitcher Josiah Gray?
  19. Brownie19
    same.
  20. Brownie19
    Ironically, fans thought the exact opposite last year. Everyone thought the offense and defense was good, but the pitching as suspect. There's probably a good chance that's what we see this year (despite the fact fans currently think the offense sucks, but the pitching is great).

    I agree with everything you just said. It was the angle that "players have missed before trying to guide it in". That isn't false, but that happens like 0.1% of the time and is not justification to slap it in. I think the players need to stop being such snowflakes. So what he slapped it home. That's like getting mad when someone hits a game winning HR and stomps on home plate. That doesn't give anyone the right to try and injure them and cross check them in the face. Control you anger. It is interesting though...we can't even ask players to shake hand after a game anymore - eliminating a long time show of sportsmanship. Then we all act surprised when the younger generation doesn't display sportsmanship on the ice. Reilly 100% deserves a long suspension.

    Where is this coming from? Because he put up a stink after being sent down last year? All your other complaints (and the typical ones) are that Manoah is a hot head who likes controversy and is a big talker. You may not realize that he grew up in an abusive household with an alcoholic father who's in jail. The guy's seemingly had a chip on his shoulder his whole life. That's likely to be one of the reasons he's been successful; albeit also a reason why some don't like him. I can certainly appreciate someone like Manoah who's out there trying to break the vicious cycle.
  23. Brownie19
    Take the L man.
  24. Brownie19
    Good point re: gambling...never thought about that angle.
  25. Brownie19
    What an incredible finish! So happy for Nick Taylor. What a ride it's been for him. Unfortunately, I think this WM tournament has gotten out of hand and it seems doubtful it will be able to operate like that again.

I'm all for having a tournament that's more fun and less stuffy, but f*** me can people ruin a good thing quickly. You can't have people chucking beers at players on the green and yelling in people's swing. Why can't it just be more like the Ryder Cup crowd is?
