    Agreed, Vlad rushed a play that didn't require him to rush.

    198.1 Does he make it?

    No reason not to take a look at him. No such thing as too much pitching especially when, like I said, you have only one elite guy. I don't care how many pretty good pitchers you have, you always substitute elite for good if you have a chance. You don't take postseason appearances for granted, you take a look at him and you could have had lightning in a bottle. There's no downside, absolutely no downside. He also gets to work with the Major League coaching staff, gets to bend the ear of major league vets. I didn't expect the Blue Jays to ever do something like this because they don't have the balls to be that aggressive. It's just a shame, I wish they had a more aggressive mentality.

    I've done extremely well on a fantasy baseball, football mostly, but I just don't have the patience anymore.

    Eat it motherf***ers!

    My standards are world series champion. So yeah that sounds about right. Most teams will not have enough pieces to be a world series champion so the pieces required should be rare. Aces are rare, elite closers are rare, superstars are rare. That's why there's only a handful of teams that are actual favourites. Of course we could have made up for the fact that Berrios is a notch below by having a much better offense, you need one or the other but you can't have neither is my point.

    Nobody shuts out the Blue Jays in THREE straight games...NOBODY💪🏼

    Bassitt isn't our best pitcher, but there's nobody I enjoy watching pitch more than him on this team.
  9. Masterbather
    Because you don't want people giving you that look. That look of impending doom, that look of pity. You want people to look at you and treat you the way they always have and most people just can't do it if they know something like that. It's not their fault, it's human nature but I can totally understand why somebody would want to keep it a secret.
  10. Masterbather
    Well they have the thing that I've been saying all season the Blue Jays don't have: a true number two. If we had a true number two, now Berrios ends up in a perfect spot as your three. If you're going to have a guy like Berrios as your number two, you need a better offense to support it.

    I know he wouldn't be eligible now but this is something they really should have thought about and quite frankly done earlier. He could've been lightning in a bottle. Worst case scenario, he's not ready and you send him back. There was no harm in trying. Wasted opportunity IMO.
  12. Masterbather
    Yeah but a lot of strikeouts, not a lot of home runs, it works for Ian Snell. I still would have liked to have taken a look at him, this is a roster that needs as much talent as it can squeeze into the postseason. Maybe the major league coaches could have even helped him make an adjustment or two. I'd rather give him Cabrera's innings.
  13. Masterbather
    Is there any reason why Ricky Tiedemann isn't getting a look with the big club? We don't have any other elite pitcher other than Gausman, and I'm not the type that ever just wants to piss away a postseason birth without trying every weapon you have at your disposal. Who knows when we get back to the postseason next? I would have liked to have seen what he could have been against major league hitters for a few innings and at least considered him for the postseason roster. I don't see anybody talking about this but is there any specific reason why they aren't doing this?
  14. Masterbather
    Minnesota's pitching is going to be a problem if we face them. It's a notch above what we have for sure. Which would be fine if we had any sort of reliable offense, which we don't. Tampa is no walk at the beach either. They also have the starting pitching but a more dynamic offense. I guess Minnesota is more beatable because they don't have quite the offensive talent but honestly, either of those teams really should beat us.
  15. Masterbather
    He is not showing the ability to deal with pitches on the outer edge, especially breaking balls. He's got to learn to foul off pitches on the outer edge with 2 strikes or lay off them outside the zone, especially breaking balls because he really can't do much else with it. I don't want him trying to hit it the other way unless he hits line drives because he doesn't have opposite field power with fly balls. He made a great adjustment to the high inside pitches, so maybe he'll figure out the outside pitch in time. But this team needs wins. I don't mind this decision. He can always pinch hit against LHP.

    Well sometimes they force medical treatments on kids without parental consent if parental refusal has become abusive, is that sort of the same? I mean kids never really consent to medical treatment. In those cases it's forced.

    I needed a dictionary for some of that, but I guess the point is well made. I only have science on my side as opposed to factually debunked and provably made up religious text, but we'll not get into all that, I am trying to be magnanimous after all🙂
  18. Masterbather
    It's tough, I'm not religious in the least, but I live in a world where some people around me really believe in that stuff, I try not to be a dick about it. Curt genuinely believes that getting a lot of prayers is like equivalent to getting somebody a lifesaving surgery. I try to view it through this prism: would I do anything I could to help a friend get lifesaving surgery? I would, so I guess that's what he feels he's doing in his way. I admit as much as I try it's still hard for me to wrap my head around prayer and religion and people believing that, but I do try.
  19. Masterbather
    What the f***? Everything about all of that is terrible. Pancreatic cancer is basically a death sentence, brain cancer not necessarily, but if it's aggressive obviously that's bad news. And WTF Curt? I'm sure his heart was in the right place but you got to be careful with this stuff.
  20. Masterbather
    I don't think it would have been worth the assets, this team needs more than a short-term fix. A mediocre bat at the deadline does not alter this team's ceiling. It needs some heavy lifting in the off-season. Hopefully with somebody different in charge.
  21. Masterbather
    Forget all that, have you seen the stadium renovations? Aren't they wonderful? We can look forward to more stadium renovations next year. We are truly blessed.

    Did he actually call him a bundle of sticks or did he call him that word. Because would that not earn him a suspension with only a few games left to go in a playoff chase?
  23. Masterbather
    So the likeliest path to disaster would be if Seattle takes three of four, and Houston takes at least 2 of 3, we then have to split the next four or we're toast. The Seattle one is interesting, it's difficult on the surface, but it becomes more possible if Texas clinches early in the series. The Houston one is very possible given that Arizona should clinch soon. We should have the clear starting pitching advantage in two of our four games, Tampa is also about to officially lose touch of the East which should benefit us but Tampa is always annoying.
  24. Masterbather
    They got shut down by two excellent starters, it doesn't matter how poorly that team has done this season. They also still have this guy named Judge... Nothing that happened over the past two games should be surprising. Now if they look tight in the final game against Weaver and f*** that up? Then we might have a problem brewing.
  25. Masterbather
    Careful what you wish for.
