I'm fully guilty of feeling a little frisky after recent offensive performances but if you are accusing Brownie of the same you aren't paying attention. He's basically the balder male version of Wednesday Addams right now. If the doomsday cult is allowed to act like a baseball season is only 60 games long and declare the season to be over in May then I'm sure as s*** allowed to carry on like all of the offensive issues are fixed after a handful of good games. It's only fair after all to apply the same standards to everyone on here.

He's a tough one to figure out. His first two years with the club when he was still a beast with the bat he missed a ton of time due to injury. I couldn't help but think of what kind of value he could provide if he were to stay healthy, but then his numbers just took a nosedive and are even worse so far this season. He has good old man skills in pitch recognition and swing decisions but something just seems off with his swing as he's constantly hitting the ball on the ground.

That dude doesn't really have any haters around here but a certain segment of the posters still worship the ground he walks on.
-
Just a small typo, probably got autocorrected on my phone. You know who I mean smarty pants.
-
I'll fully admit that went completely over my head. Given the recent tenor of the board I'm not used to seeing jokes that require the offense to be good.
-
Kiermaier got off to an awful start but has quietly been really damn good with the bat over the 6 weeks or so and have numbers have been trending upwards. It's gone completely under the radar but Kirk's numbers are also much better over the same period of time. Each of them seems to be performing much better in part time roles, whether it's due to effective matchups, feeling fresher due to extra rest or some other reason.
-
I see very little possibility Green is going to be forced into a mopup role.
-
I have zero issues with the team's second base/left field bats. This primarily entails a combination of Varsho (117 wrC+) and Schneider (125 wRC+). Springer is a definite concern but he should start to get turned around at the plate eventually.
-
The pitching has largely been very solid over the last few weeks. Both of Gausman and Bassitt have been improving and Manoah was downright fantastic in his last two starts. Kikuchi looks like an ace and Berrios has largely resumed from where he left off last season. If the offense can even be incrementally better the team will have a shot to win a lot of games.
-
They haven't just been beating these teams, they've been literally dominating them. They obviously aren't fully out of the woods yet but it's a damn good start.
-
All of Alex's haters just can't stand when he's mentally dominating the opposition. All the more reason to hope it happens.
-
Given how definitively you've been proclaiming the season to be over I was under the impression you were claiming to be some sort of expert.
-
Just wanted to ask the CEO of team whiney mofos if we are allowed to start feeling better about the team lately. That makes 3 games in the last 4 where they've scored nine runs. If memory serves that's 4 of the last 9 games scoring 9 runs as well.

Term was stylin' and profilin'

Cool your jets man, I just hadn't seen the post yet. The rest of those f***ers who didn't toss a like your way are monsters though.
-
Pop is making a strong case to stay with the big league club once Green and Rodriguez are ready to come back from their rehab assignments.
-
Isiah Kiner Falefa is sort of low key on a bit of a heater at the plate. At least by his "lofty" standards. I was suggesting IKF could have potential to surprise a little at the plate. I would never suggest more than league average offense at best but combine that with great third base defense and you have a nice player for the bottom of the lineup. Varsho deserves huge credit for contributing a lot of big clutch hits this season. Gausman was also amazing in tonight's game. Once he can reliably command his splitter he has a shot to actually improve on his previous years as he's less predictable with the addition of the 2 seamer.
-
Yeah I think the amount San Fran paid him was one of the more surprising developments of the offseason.
-
You and Masturbatesinpublic or whatever his name is are basically the board's poster children for this sentiment.
-
These percentages can change very quickly with a hot streak so there's no need to read too much into them at this point.
-
This is likely just a case of an Asian player facing an uphill battle in adjusting to major league pitching. His expected stats are actually pretty solid (.324 xwOBA) so I think the contract might turn out to be ok in the end.
-
We are basically in the same boat. The team's window appears as though it may be rapidly closing and the bare minimum I'd be happy with is at least making the playoffs. I'd far prefer to see the team finally perform in the playoffs and win a round or two.
-
Why don't you go ahead and regale us with your obviously superior opinions first.

General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2024)
max silver replied to Ryu In My House's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Over recent seasons they've posted really similar sprint speeds so Votto might actually be slower upon returning from the ankle injury. -
Probably some of both.
