    I'd never heard those - that's cool, thanks for sharing. But I mean - most people don't need much to hate the Yankees

    They said he would have been on the roster if we played the Red Sox - so it's not like the Jays have given up on him at all. I love Max and would love NOTHING more than to see him throw meaningful innings in the next 2 series...
  3. Brownie19
    I'm not so sure I agree with this. I suspect he could throw 5 innings if you let him. I think the reason he's being used in much shorter stints is simply because the Jays don't think he'll be effective for 4-5 innings. They only let Bieber go 2 2/3rd. I'd be shocked if they give Bassitt goes more than 4 innings, even if he's pitching well. I think it's a philosophy. Of course I could be wrong, but I don't think he's being pulled because he's out of gas and can't give you more innings because he isn't stretched out. I'm almost sure that's true.

    Jays24 has a point. While few claimed he would be the Game 1 starter, but most of us saw him as a playoff starter and one of our Top 3 options. It is wild how he went from that to off the roster in 6 weeks. Too bad really.

    IF Bo returns, I think it will be Bruihl for Bo and Nance for Bassitt. The last 2 roster spots comes down to Scherzer, Tony and IKF (I think Straw is safe). Do you give up a power bat or a late inning defensive replacement to carry Scherzer - who's probably the last reliver you'd use? I guess we'll find out soon. I'm actually doubtful that Bo returns, so I think the decision is Max v. Nance. I'd probably rather lose a game with Scherzer pitching than Nance, so Max is my pick. But the Jays have really advanced systems that they will use to calculate who has the best chance to succeed v. whomever team they face. That's going to play a big factor in this whether people like that or not.

    He's just making that up and has no idea what's wrong with Max - so don't get too excited.

    3rd: Barger, Clement SS: Gimenez, Clement 2nd: Clement, Schneider 1st: Vlad, Clement, Tony? I think that's plenty of depth myself. They either lose a swing hitting power bat in Tony, or they lose a late inning defensive replacement option in IKF. They could also replace Bruihl for Bo and Nance for Bassitt - keeping both Tony and IKF, while rolling with 1 less bullpen arm.

    10000%

    IT'S TIME TO GIVE JOHN SCHNEIDER AND THIS FO SOME F*CKING RESPECT BOYS.
  11. Brownie19
    F*cking light it up boys. This team is SO much fun. How can you not be so happy for guys like Clement and Lukes who carved out major roles so late in their careers. It's so heartwarming.
  12. Brownie19
    Let's go boys! What a series. Really, this was utter domination. This team is built different. Bring on Detroit or Seattle - we're ready for them! Enjoy the night boys. Despite all the bickering - I do love this board. We deserve this!
  13. Brownie19
    STFU!!!!! LOL - Have faith
  14. Brownie19
    It will take either Trey or Gaus much longer to get ready...
  15. Brownie19
    Oh f*ck. Butt clench time
  16. Brownie19
    He's stretched out enough to give you 40-60 pitches. Max or Bassitt wouldn't give you anymore. Lauer is essentially just as prone to giving up the HR as Bassitt is and he's better than Max - so I have no idea what you're getting at. Do I wish we had a better 4th starter than Lauer? Yes - obviously I do, but he's as good of an option as this team has, so suggesting the team failed to carry a 4th starter is dumb. Lauer is the 4th starter and he's as good of a bet to give us 3 innings as Bassitt or Max are.
  17. Brownie19
    What were the chances Bassitt or Max were going to give you more than 40-50 pitches? That probability was like 2%
  18. Brownie19
    You really have no idea if it gives them a better chance to win or not. It's nearly impossible for us to sit here and weigh the value of "slightly" worse defense in RF v. the potential benefit of Springer taking all of his at bats. Neither situation could play a role in this game, or one or the other could play a HUGE role in the outcome of this game. Pretending you know the answer to that right now is dumb. It isn't some obvious, glaring error that you need to dissect. I'll warn you now - it's also such a coin flip that it isn't something you should be able to come back here and claim victory on if something doesn't go our way. That's call hindsight and just because you picked one side of a coin and were right - doesn't mean the decision was wrong.
  19. Brownie19
    I appreciate that Springer is faster, but the numbers don't really lie. Even if you think the speed gives Springer a slight advantage - if we're up 4-1 in the 5th - do you want Springer's bat out of the lineup for the remainder of the game? Is that worth the "slight" upgrade over Tony defensively? I'm not sure I do - but I could see that argument either way. What I can't see is why fans would get all bent out of shape over this decision when it's a coin flip. But god knows if there's anything tonight that costs us, you'll take your lap telling everyone how smart you are and how everyone should be fired for not flipping to the side of the coin you picked.
  20. Brownie19
    Why don't people consider Lauer a 4th starter? He was as good as Bassitt this year (who isn't stretched out and coming off injury) and he was better than Max - especially over the last month. Just tell yourself this. Lauer is starting, but they are using an opener. Lauer deserves this start more than an injured Bassitt, Max or Berrios IMO. He's been nails in several different roles all season long.

    I don't pretend to be the defensive stat wizard, but Santander and Springer both had -9.7 DEF in 2024. 2024 OAA: Springer was -1, Santander was -2 2024 FRV: Springer was -4, Santander was -3 2024 UZR: Springer was -4.3, Santander was +1.4 2024 Arm Value: Springer was -3 (3rd percentile), Santander was -1 (23rd percentile) 2025 OAA/FRV: Springer was -6/-8 in only 436 innings, Santander was -1/-2 in only 181 innings I think they both suck defensively. I'd rather keep Springers bat in the lineup all game myself.
  22. Brownie19
    And so does Tony. I don't know why we're all pretending that Springer is WAYYY better defensively than Tony is. That opinion seems to have developed based on 1 play. It's wild. They play Tony in RF because he's as good as Springer defensively AND - more importantly - because they can sub in Straw late in the game. They don't want to lose Springer's bat when Straw comes in - which is also why he's the DH. And guys - Springer just had a MONSTER year as the DH, where he's talked about how that move gives him added preparation time and such - which clearly seems to have helped.
  23. Brownie19
    Kirk goes 6-14 with 4 HRs and 9 RBIs in his past 3 games and the second he goes 0-4, people complain about his bat. It's honestly like some of you have never watched a game of baseball in your life.
  24. Brownie19
    There's a very strong probability that most of our bullpen arms are more effective than Shane Bieber would be coming out of the pen for an inning or 2 in Game 7.
  25. Brownie19
    I don't know why anyone would give a f*ck what Vernon Wells thinks about anything.
