    That would be a veritable murderers row top of the lineup but it would require Rogers to open up the pocketbook to previously unthinkable levels. Bo will be in for a massive raise in his next contract and Tucker could be well on his way to something approaching a Vlad level of deal.

    Jays24 will show up at some point to rage away about a likely partial day off for Springer after spending much of spring training raging about how the team simply couldn't afford to play Springer anywhere other than the bottom of the order.

    Lucas was matched up against Gore last time and dramatically outpitched him. We can faintly hope that lightning strikes twice.

    I'm relieved that Springer appears to have avoided injury after the awkward collision with the wall.

    I doubt anyone is remotely worried about the yearly salary. The 14 year term on a bad body 1B/DH is the concerning part. And please remind me how the rest of the Jays payroll is being "wasted" this season.

    Probably by year 7 or so if not sooner.

    That's not particularly fair. Vlad started the 2021 season on fire and carried it forward for nearly the entire season. He had a bad month to start the 2024 season before being MLB's second best qualified hitter for the next 5 months.

    I'd like to see Bo extended as well. Hopefully he's willing to sign a little more reasonable extension compared to the mega bucks Vlad insisted upon though.

    That's interesting. I wonder if anyone else was using them at the time or if it was isolated to Marte only.

    This entire pointless argument (that you started for reasons I can't ascertain) started when I complained that the torpedo bat in combination with Yankee Stadium was making a mockery of competitive integrity. Your response to this was that both of Yankee Stadium and torpedo bats have been around for decades so I shouldn't care. The "proof" you provided to prove that torpedo bats were somehow irrelevant as a recent occurrence in MLB was to provide a video showing an aluminum bat. This may be a shocker for you but MLB uses wooden bats. It's entirely possible that this aluminum bat served as inspiration for the current wooden MLB bats, or it could be more of an unintentional occurrence where the new bat was created without prior knowledge of the aluminum bat of yesteryear. As far as I can see wooden torpedo bats (which is the only type remotely relevant to MLB) are a recent invention. Whether the concept existed in aluminum training bats doesn't change when the current wooden/MLB approved bat was conceived.

    I haven't been able to find a single piece of evidence that points to the current bat known as the torpedo bat having been around for more than a handful of years. There have been plenty of other bats that had unusual shaped barrels over the years but the current bat is a new creation.

    Yeah this one was frustrating to say the least. The home plate umpire was horribly inconsistent pitch to pitch, the bullpen didn't get the job done, the team left a million runners on base, Springer left with apparent injury, Schneider didn't use Hoffman with the game tied heading into the 9th inning etc.

    Not having Brett Cecil certainly complicated things for the Blue Jays but it's not true that was the only reason that they lost the series.

    Don't try to pretend that you wouldn't have been livid if the front office handed Vlad $300 million coming off of a 1 win season.

    A largely slap hitting team still beat that team in the playoffs though. That goes to show that that the randomness of the MLB playoffs is the great equalizer despite how things look on paper heading into a series.
  16. max silver
    The team is down an important reliever in Swanson. If/when he comes back Fluharty will likely find his way back to AAA.
  17. max silver
    The middle relief runs allowed didn't help but the team lost primarily because they failed to plate a single run.
  18. max silver
    Why is that? The MLB torpedo bat currently being used was in fact invented a couple of years ago by a physicist employed by the Yankees.
  19. max silver
    The bat being used by MLB players presently was in fact invented a couple of years ago. I even linked an article outlining when it was created. The fact that there was an aluminum bat with a similar looking barrel does nothing to change when the current MLB torpedo bat was invented.. This isn't that hard, try to keep up.
  20. max silver
    Notice how I used words like "may be" in my statement? That's far from a definitive statement, time to brush up on your reading skills a tad.
  21. max silver
    Oh you totally proved me wrong, MLB have obviously been using torpedo bats for decades and an aluminum bat with this type of barrel is concrete proof.
  22. max silver
    That's not true. The Torpedo bat was invented a year or two ago according to this article: https://www.mlb.com/news/aaron-leanhardt-discusses-invention-of-torpedo-bats
  23. max silver
    It's not like Yankee Stadium wasn't already making a mockery out of the integrity of the sport along comes the Torpedo bat.
  24. max silver
    I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but you should go all board sheriff on this Yarbrough situation.
  25. max silver
    I was going for the world record on run on sentences.
