  1. Or he could implode and completely lose his confidence. After the trade deadline the jays should get aggressive with their call ups. I wouldn't mind seeing Chad Dallas or Adam Macko. We're at the point where the high floor low ceiling guys are what this team is about.
  2. Nothing you already didn't know but, meh, give it a listen cause Shulman is so even keel..
  3. My conclusions are based on his body of work this season and his aloof attitude on the field and the plate. Then this interview where he says, "for me first and foremost I want to win. That would be the number one priority for me if I was choosing a team and the Giants obviously are committed to that". He isn't going to choose TO it seems, so by implication the Jays don't want to win. Kind of a sideways shot at the Jays from my perspective.
  4. Ho-hum, another series win! bring on Moreno and his noodle bat.
  5. Jansen can't throw out a runner to save his life.
  6. He is sort of like an out of control employee at this point. Wtf is he doing saying to a reporter that San Fran would be a good org to play for. This is a power play on his part. He is sulking.
  7. Perhaps the Jays made him an offer before the season and he was insulted by it? Don't think he is actively trying not to perform but his body language on the field and especially at the plate is one of apathy. Part of management is to keep your human resources interested and involved. Yet another failure of the Shapiro regime.
  8. I wonder if the Jays are behind in terms of rejuvenation regimens with pitchers coming back off of injuries? Once we get a minor league pitcher suffer any type of physical setback they seem to take an extended time to get "right" again. There is such a thing as chronic workload versus acute workload for pitchers. The Jays seem to be of the mindset whereby they don't spend enough time on chronic workload, rush the prospect up through the system and then subject them to an acute workload. See Alek Manoah. Now this is conjecture on my part but I don't have a lot a faith in the strength and conditioning practices of this org. Like the other aspects of our development system, we're probably behind the curve on this too. Take a look at this piece written by a minor leaguer a few years ago. Very interesting stuff... https://ballnine.com/2021/03/23/dont-stress-the-stress/
  9. Bo hobbled with a bad calf again will put an end to his trade rumours. I suppose the next window to move him will be the off-season. Atkins may just wait until trade deadline 2025 hoping for a resurgent Bo. Instead he will move an expiring contract Bo and may get fleeced with a third round pick in return. What a mess.
  10. Let's Go Jays!
  11. The Interbrew ownership years were the worst times in franchise history and it's not even close. If you lived through those years you know this to be true.
  12. In order for Atkins/Jays to maximize his return for Kikuchi he has to preemptively deal before other candidates as Laika noted become available. Basically pull a Billy Beane Moneyball move and say, "I thought I would give you first dibs on the lefty. You don't act now he will be gone by the weekend."
  13. That sounds about right. Bringing up Jimenez is an indication that they have resigned themselves to some hard truths.
  14. True but John Schneider is fighting for his professional life. It may all be a mute point at this stage but not for him. He really needs every win he can get.
  15. Absolutely. You can't stifle creativity. Olerud is the Marcus Aurelius of the bjmb. And like his namesake perhaps he also wears a batting helmet at all times.
  16. Chad Green pitched in two consecutive games vs the Mariners but there was an off day in between so who knows?
