  1. We would still lose every 5th game when we faced Garrett Crochet.
  2. Is that the team that Wayne Gretzky plays for?
  3. Every spring training we argue on this board about pitching depth behind the top 4. I am told we have plenty and called names every year. Every year I unfortunately shake my head about this time of year.. And it will rinse and repeat in the 2025 off season unless FO changes.
  4. So I think we can all agree that the best player drafted during the Atkins regime was Bichette taken in the 2016 draft. Same draft as Biggio So for those who don't remember the Jays scouting director and others we all fired shortly thereafter. In addition, the the area scout, Mat Bishoff, who identified Bichette and developed the relationship/repour with him, also is gone. That whole Team was left over from the AA years. https://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/blue-jays-fire-scouting-director-parker-crosschecker-david/
  5. That was also when you played each team in the division 19 times a year and when the Red Sox vs Yankees were a thing and we were not competitive spenders in most of those years. I think most of us gave credit to the FO for getting to the playoffs the first few years. I was even estatic about adding Varsho, Bassitt, Belt and KK last year. However, after the trade deadline I lost faith in this FO and the post season and news conference plus lack of activity in the off season has 100% lost me. It’s not what have you done for me 3 yrs ago, it is what have you done for me lately and how are we positioned going fwd. On both notes it is a fail.
  6. That list is not apples to apples. Tampa has/had a whole rotation on the IL and 1/3rd of their position players. Look who they have coming back later in the year. Houston same with their rotation. Texas, same. Giants, not anticipated to be good, neither St. Louis. AZ was ahead of schedule last year. They still have very solid specs waiting in the wings to contribute. The Jays were basically full strength in mid April and still sucking with a $230 million payroll to boot. Also, anyone who has been watching or plays Fantasy could tell you the AL Central would be stronger, Boston and NYY would be better and Seattle would be in the mix with their pitching. Which says to me no way the Jays can have a team equal to or less than 2023 and coast to the WC3.
  7. Jays don’t have an aircraft carrier. Other successful teams have at least one some two. We have a guided missile Frigate and one of those helicopter carriers if it can put to sea. Zero aircraft carriers.
  8. One earned run against their SP3 and pen in our home park.
  9. I would have bet $500 USD that Norby was going to K there. He is one of their weaker rated prospect. First AB against Gausman... Nope...
  10. I don't post in threads without proper capitalization. Please delete this post after 30 seconds
  11. Listen to AA talk about getting his ball club where they want to be and teasing trades. What AA gives you compared to Atkins in an interview, is not even in the same universe. https://omny.fm/shows/cellini-and-dimino/braves-gm-president-alex-anthopoulos?
  12. He might give us some much needed swagger Nothing like fighting alongside your buddies to create a bonding experience
  13. So I found this out after a call at my son's little league game a few weeks ago. The base line to home plate does not correspond to the white line on the field. It has to do with the line the runner is taking relative to where the catcher is setting up. It was really interesting to know that, and it explains why I thought a runner who appeared way outside the baseline was not called out in the game.
  14. Yup. I thought we had a much more realistic chance at Soto than Ohtani in the off season. The Yankees, a team who were not a cellar dweller, used homegrown talent and pitching at that, to acquire Soto. The Yankees still have solid rotation even without Cole. The reason that Ross didn't have many FA options in the off season is because that was the only isle he could really shop in. That goes to to the totality of his body of work over 9 years.
  15. Like AA says, we need to look at run differential as we get closer to the dead line. *Also don’t let huge runs put up against Nastrani (AA pitcher) X2 plus the emergency last minute call up from AAA fool you.
  16. True, but he is not going to play for free or on a short term deal. He might not get close to what he was/is anticipating. His agent and MLPA won’t allow him to give some sweet heart deal even if Vlad want’s to.
  17. Or this is the Jays leaking so when they move Bo and Vlad they can say they tried to negotiate extensions and couldn’t reach an agreement and they had to move on.
  18. I am more referring to Vlad set up deep at 3b and they drop a bunt down the third base line and he has to charge it, bare hand it and throw on the run.
  19. If I were the Pirates I would bunt the s*** out of the ball with fast RHH until Vladdy can prove he can throw me out.
  20. Yea, this has to be to be able to get a Bison in the lineup. I am secretly hoping also showcasing for trade
  21. And the 8 Ball says...... NO
