    Where do you draw the line? What about the lineman who keeps your power on in storm or the snowplow driver. I think the difference is that troops sign up to and have laid their life on the line/died to keep the country free. That is supposed to be the point of the birth of nation or a day that signifies a nations independence. Troops wear the flag and represent Canada word wide. Celebrating a countries most important day without recognizing the military contributions would be an embarrassment.

    What would you program, if you were King for the day, no pun intended.

    Speaking of which, is the roof open today? I was at a Canada day game with the roof closed one year and it was depressing.

    Surprised not on here yet or MLB trade rumors. However, multiple U.S sites are saying that according to MLB insiders, the Jays have already reached out to teams and made every player with an expiring contract available. I think we all knew they were going to do this. However, first time I am seeing anything that the Team has actually started down that path formally.
  5. Carlos Danger
    It appears every AL WC team ahead of the Jays has won or will win today. I really hope the FO is still not at the let’s wait and see point. Even if they have a great next 25 days. That is a SSS compared to the body of work we have seen in a full season and a half. Plus with our current BP situation. No just the tip. Balls in!!

    Too bad really. Seems like a good dude. Also, a lefty RP if performing well with only a pro rated part of a $3 mil contract left would maybe fetch something interesting in A ball etc at the deadline.
  7. Carlos Danger
    They did it. Jose Cuas RP called up from AAA. He is the guy they claimed from the Cubs last week. He is a righty.

    So I just saw the Vlad HR. I checked it since I saw some comments about it. I fnnn love bat flips and all that. I am against the Miami rule in college football. However, Vlad pimping the HR plus the bat toss and the jacket etc for a solo HR when down 3 is just not smart IMO. Not a good Team message IMO and probably gave the Yankees a little umph as they went on the tack on 9 more runs after that.

    1. If in the summer, yes. I will be there for the August series vs the Jays.

    On an airplane about to take off so can’t rebut much other than to say every mlb pitcher will tell you that batters are generally not pitched the same with runners on or RISP then without. So it is not some romanticism, it is ability to adapt. Up until apprx 7 -10 days ago, Vladdy was having some very poor quality ABs and the results in general were just not there with runners on. I am saying that I want to see more consistency and I expect more and we all should from what we have seen in 2022, 2023 and through the half way point of June 2024. I’l be back Later……
  11. Carlos Danger
    That tracks with what my eyes, ears and gut tell me. If an extension were viable, it probably would have happened now on at least one of them. At this point you have very little leverage for an extension. The other issue that I can’t over emphasize, is the issue that both Vlad and Bo are MLB kids. They are want for naught in their families. This eliminates the need to lock in generational wealth before an career ending injury or decline in performance etc. I would say 90% Bo is gone by end of 2025 and Vlad 50%.

    Go back 7 days and take out the 4 hrs and 12 RBIs. I specifically mentioned that I want to see consistency. I stated “up until” the last week or so. Also, as Big Cecil pointed out. I can Cherry pick Whataboutisms all day long. I am looking at Vlad’s overall body of work from 2022 since a 3 yr sample size is generally the industry standard to make an evaluation and eliminate outliers. If we are going to compare Olson and Alvarez etc, let’s go back to the start of the 2022 season to present. Lastly, I am worried about the Blue Jays and their results and accountability. We (the Jays) need to win consistently, Vlad “our superstar” needs to produce to that level consistently. This is also in the context of if/should we and if so how much an extension. Saying “some” other guys are underperforming also, is not a results oriented solution or analysis in my world.
  13. Carlos Danger
    Using only wRC+ for Vlad and comparing him to other “superstars” is a fools game this year. The deep dive on Vlad up until recently was his ABs with RISP were night and day. Only 3 of his HRs prior to the hot streak the last week or so were with runners on. I need to see more consistency from Vlad as a slugger with RISP before I consider an extension that compares wRC+ to others in the league when determining AAV.
  14. Carlos Danger
    That was the Shapiro way in Cleveland. Didn’t have that killer instinct balls in to put the team over the top.
  15. Carlos Danger
    Ok, that is what I was looking for. Solid point. A- on your paper. Keep up the good work.
  16. Carlos Danger
    Never said he was equal to Ohtani. My question was why would we think Ohtani would say yes to sign in TO and Soto wouldn’t if we have the highest offer. There appears to be a group that thinks Soto would never choose TO regardless. Trying to understand that thought process if we offer most $?
  17. Carlos Danger
    What is the thought process that Soto would never sign in TO, yet the Jays thought Ohtani would? They signed Springer. You don’t think Vlad, Joey Bats, EE and a s*** load of other Dominicans won’t tell him what a great place Toronto is to play and the multiculturalism etc, etc.
  18. Carlos Danger
    I would rather see a legit effort at Soto vs a Vladdy extension. Vlad, or more importantly his agent are going to want an aircraft carrier contract. Vlad is not a legit aircraft carrier. As mentioned, any extension would need to be north of $27m AAV. Why, because he will probably get $25 m in ARB after this season. Trade him for specs and use that money to make the overall team better.
  19. Carlos Danger
    Start off with Mathews and Baez and or Melton. Maybe someone younger off the MLB roster also. Get them to add Khouba or another SP. Maybe take a younger currently injured SP. I think there are assets that would improve the Team. With the Astros you would probably need to go quantity with upside to hedge.
  20. Carlos Danger
    I think a lot of that is in the Bold Predictions thread isn't it? I know I said no WC, and Detroit would finish ahead of us or WC3 or something like that.
  21. Carlos Danger
    I think the zero post season wins is more of an overall metric to reflect lack of forward progress. There was no substantive improvement in the overall result or performance of the org YTY since 2020. No AL East champs, not even first WC I don’t believe.
  22. Carlos Danger
    Yea, and talks about a team that had Micheal Young, Chris Carpenter and what could have been… Of course 20/20 hindsight… But a cool thought..
  23. Carlos Danger
    Jesus Christ man, every fnnn post of yours is to point out that other Teams also suck. Do you have any accountability for this Team or in your job? Boss, don't fire me because there are other people in the company that get paid the same as I do and suck just as bad. Zero playoff wins with a home built team in 8 years. No advance progress since 2020. The Teams you are talking about, 3 of the 4 have won world series in the last few years and most of them are still in it and some were rocked with injuries. Every post is the same s*** with you. Other teams don't have SP depth, other teams are in a slump. This is about results and the Blue Jays! Have some fnnn accountability for once for your sports team and demand some results. Same BS excuse factory out of you for years..

    Serious question? Is hockey the only sport where a playoff MVP can be on the losing team? I have never seen that before?
