I don't think anyone here would take great offense if you were to simply state that the Yankees are a more talented team, but you've been banging the drum about how the Blue Jays have no chance against the Yankees for a long time now. It feels like you sometimes refuse to acknowledge that the Blue Jays are one of MLB's best teams this season.

I'm curious to find out what adjustments Vlad has made at the plate during the bye period and if there are notable differences in metrics such as attack angle. It appeared to me as though he was tilting back a bit at the plate on his home run swings in a similar fashion to George Springer, but I haven't compared this to home run swings from earlier in the season. Vlad has cleaned up his plate discipline a lot this season and this bodes very well for his future chances of finally reaching the MVP caliber potential year in and year out if/when he unlocks his swing sufficiently to allow this to occur.

Do you have a properly functioning brain? You literally have no self awareness, as you were completely torching the front office for not calling up Yesavage after a start or two in AAA and insisting that he had to be called up immediately no matter whether the front office deemed him ready for the callup or not. It's completely hypocritical for you to try to act like other people need to temper their expectations in this situation. You've been serving up s*** sandwich posts all season long and you are going to need to lay in the bed that you've made for yourself as a result.

I'm more than happy to serve as Deputy to the board sheriff when he's unavailable for duty.
-
It seems a little rich for you to be suggesting for other posters to pump the brakes after chastising the front office repeatedly for not calling up Yesavage earlier to act as a saviour for the rotation.

Does an 80 hit tool necessarily need to come along with an optimal launch angle/sweet spot contact? I thought that the hit tool rating was largely predicated on the repeatable ability to produce base hits and to subsequently record high batting averages year in and year out.

General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2025)
max silver replied to Ryu In My House's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I wouldn't have traded Yesavage for anyone that was actually available, I think it's just too important for this run of contention to be sustainable for the team to finally start developing some cost controlled starters as the rotation has generally been eating up half of the available budget. If you were able to utilize Yesavage as part of a massive package to snag a guy like Skenes for instance then it would have been see you Trey but I just didn't see any realistic scenarios where it made sense to move a guy with his upside. -
I think you are seriously underrating Yesavage's future potential, I see a lot more than a 3/4 pitcher but we'll get a better feel once the league gets over the initial shock.
-
Have you been able to lay eyes on Yesavage's curveball to check out the movement profile?
-
So the question everyone is dying to know the answer to is if you still think that the Yankees are the better team.
-
I think someone must have been cutting onions next to me during that interview.
-
Yeah it sucks that so many of the middle relievers had terrible outings. Some of these guys will need to perform if the series gets to game 4 and the team runs a bullpen game.
-
He has really drastic home/away splits and is perfectly suited to Yankee Stadium.
-
If you can't trust your bullpen to record 11 outs with an 11 run lead you aren't going very far in the post season.
-
Yeah it's high time to get the leverage arms into the game. YRod can be included in that list as well.
-
Now I'm starting to not feel so good about the momentum swing.
-
I 100% agree. Masterbather can get bent with the straight up Bo slander he's subjected us all too on top of the outright Yankees worship and non stop Blue Jays doomerism.
-
It certainly worked out fine is this game although no help from IKF.
-
Let's not get carried away, the Jays still had a 10 run lead.
-
Daulton making sure to keep that run differential high.
-
I hope we don't see him again in this series unless it's in another laugher.
-
Nice play by Vlad.
-
Yeah this kid is a keeper. He wasn't kidding when he said he was built for this.
-
Wow what a post season debut for Yesavage who leaves with a no hitter intact.
-
They were my preferred opponent as well.
