    I think that both of Donaldson and Bautista had similar lengths for their respective peaks, with 6 peak years for each. Donaldson had an injury plagued season that was mixed in with his peak years that brought down the averages a bit over a total of 7 years. Bautista's peak saw him produce 156 wRC+/33.2 FWAR over 828 games. Donaldson's peak (including the injury plagued 2018 season) saw him produce 143 wRC+/39.6 FWAR over 949 games.

    It's a shame we only got to see that group together for a handful of seasons.

    I was a huge fan of the bad boy duo of Josh Donaldson and Jose Bautista. I'll go with Bautista as he was a franchise icon due to spending more time with the club, but the MVP season of Donaldson is probably my favorite single player season of all time.

    I think Buck has been slowly embracing advanced statistics more and more in recent seasons. The old school catchers all universally abhor catchers catching on one knee despite the fact that it's been shown to actually reduce passed balls/wild pitches and may help to prolong the careers of catchers due to much less wear and tear on their hips and knees.

    The Blue Jays were still MLB's highest scoring team since May 1 even before the Rockies series. Vlad and Bo are finally both on heaters and with Varsho infusing a ton of power into the lineup the offensive explosion became possible.

    Man you've been a giant wet blanket for several years now, so you deserve every bit of s*** that you get as you fully earned it. Even now it's glass full at best with you with snide comments about the Jays trade deadline stating that the players they got aren't any good and if they had better prospects they could have added good players.

    This is 3 ace level starts for Gausman in his last 4 outings. I'm hopeful that he's found his game for the stretch run as the top of the rotation version of Gausman is a game changer.

    You must have been living under a rock this season if you don't think this team has faced a pile of adversity and has only enjoyed good fortune. This team has overcome the following on their way to an AL best record: - Giminez missing most of the season due to various injuries - Varsho missing most of the season due to various injuries - All of Vlad, Bo, Kirk, Clement and Santander getting off to poor starts with the bat - Santander getting off to a horrible start and then blowing out his shoulder - Francis turning into a turd and Scherzer missing most of the first half - Swanson and Green turning into pumpkins, Garcia and Sandlin missing huge chunks of time due to injury It's been a huge testament to the organizational depth that this team has continued rolling along despite missing so many key regulars throughout the season. In fact the team hasn't been at full strength at any point of the regular season.

    The Blue Jays are positively guaranteed to lose this game because France is in the starting lineup instead of Schneider. Who is Ross a puppet of now? Based on the general tenor of your latest incoherent rant I'm guessing you should be implying that Schneider is the puppet and Ross is the puppet.

    Thank goodness the team didn't choose the 3 year option.

    I suspect he'll get the bulk of second base starts as the strong side of a platoon with Ernie.
  12. max silver
    I believe once Gimenez returns that Ernie won't start to often against right handed pitching. After that I think Ernie will still play a lot but the club will try to get him more favorable matchups against right handed starters he has a chance to succeed against.

    Perhaps some of their front office staff could be poached in the offseason.

    That was a ridiculously stacked bullpen that they decided to liquidate at the deadline.
  15. max silver
    If this is true then is it not conversely true that they are a good team to target for pitching acquisitions through trade?
  16. max silver
    You could stand to learn the difference between constructive criticism and whining.
  17. max silver
    I can only guess that they looked at the solid underlying numbers for France (.340 xwOBA on the season) and thought that he was a candidate for positive regression. A huge part of why he's played in both of the first two games is due to both of Kirk and Springer being unavailable due to being on the injured list with concussions, but of course you wouldn't consider this.

    That response is generally saved for you specifically. You constantly call the team manager/general manager/data department a bunch of dumbasses/stupid/insert insult of choice so this leads to an easy retort about how you aren't necessarily smarter than the group of baseball professionals that actually runs the team. You tend to have a bunch of kneejerk overreactions and don't stop to take even a few seconds to ponder why certain moves are made before flying off the handle. The manager in particular has a treasure trove of data available at his fingertips, on top of information from the high performance department, a list of which relievers are available, first hand information from the players themselves how they are feeling that day/in that instant etc.

    I don't recall ever suggesting the guy was perfect by any means, but some of the criticism he's faced is pretty over the top.

    This dude is literally incapable of admitting that he's ever wrong on anything.
  21. max silver
    My only real complaint with Atkins' trade deadlines has been his outright failure to acquire useful bats for the lineup. He's more often than not acquired dudes in the midst of bad seasons at the plate.

    This is eerily reminiscent of the 4-12/-45 run differential stretch in late April/early May as the Jays got their asses handed to them regularly in a bunch of blowout games during that period. It immediately preceded the crazy run up the standings so hopefully this is something they get out of their system in relatively short order.
  23. max silver
    We can only hope that France manages to produce closer to the .342 xwOBA for the duration of the season.

    I don't think it's fair to call Roden a slap hitter by any means but I do believe that the emergence of Barger and Loperfido essentially made him expendable. Loperfido is by no means proven at this point but I do believe that he and Roden were essentially competing for a single outfield spot, and with Loperfido making such a sizable improvement to his strikeout rate this allowed the team to utilize Roden as a trade chip.
