  1. You have zero self awareness as that's a statement that you actually made.
  2. Nice of you to step in so you can regale us with your words of wisdom about how the current Blue Jays front office is the worst management team in Toronto sports history.
  3. These are my thoughts as well. Vlad should be available to pinch hit later in the game if the situation warrants it.
  4. That was a joke. I should make sure to place lol after my posts that are sent your way so that you can tell when I'm joking.
  5. My mental is just fine but thank you for the concern. I'd be more concerned about your own mental well being given the propensity to froth yourself into a lather over every single minor issue that occurs over a 6 month season. I'm perfectly willing to admit that the Jays front office makes plenty of mistakes, but I'm also capable of recognizing recognizing that well laid plans are capable of going awry due to circumstances beyond a front office's control.
  6. Gausman's splitter was a bit better last night with 4 whiffs/21% whiff percentage. The dominant fastball was a big surprise last light as he racked up 13 whiffs.
  7. This guy should have a username like Sox24.
  8. You literally go out of your way to find reasons to be outraged. When the front office let a mediocre replacement level long man go this was more proof that ownership should clean house. When the team's hottest hitter didn't make a tough catch at the wall in horrible playing conditions you were outraged, and then you called him a pussy despite appearing to have hurt himself crashing into the wall. When the manager doesn't bring in a reliever on a particular day, instead of asking yourself if that reliever simply isn't available that day you instead immediately become apoplectic that the manager must be a total moron. It's just rinse and repeat repeated temper tantrums all offseason long and every single day of the regular season as well.
  9. I'm watching in Calgary but I've been digging the early starts in Boston for this series.
  10. It legitimately feels like the sole purpose for your existence is to complain.
  11. Even including the opening day stinker from Berrios the team is 5th in the sport in starter ERA. Apparently that's not good enough for certain posters.
  12. Gausman's missing whiffs is easily my biggest pitching related concern with the Blue Jays this season. It's great that his fastball velo is back to normal but if he can't rediscover the form on the splitter he's more of an innings eater type at this point.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. Lucas was matched up against Gore last time and dramatically outpitched him. We can faintly hope that lightning strikes twice.
  16. I'm relieved that Springer appears to have avoided injury after the awkward collision with the wall.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. That's interesting. I wonder if anyone else was using them at the time or if it was isolated to Marte only.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
