Eat My Shatkins

Is there a reason I can't think of why Scherzer and the Dodgers won't just stay married to each other? Have to think Bauer is toast, and Kershaw is a free agent too.

The Blue Jays played more games against teams above .500 than anyone else in the league. 1 more than the Yankees did, and 2 more than the Rays did.

Here is what the Jays are looking at right now without any off-season moves made yet: C - Jansen 1B - Vladdy 2B - Biggio 3B - Espinal SS - Bo LF - Gurriel CF - Springer RF - Teo DH - Bench OF - Grichuk Bench IF - Bench UT - Valera Bench C - Kirk Depth position players on the 40 man: Mcguire, Smith, Moreno, Lopez, Palacios SP - Berrios SP - Ryu SP - Manoah SP - Stripling SP - Pearson CL - Romano SU - Cimber RP - Merryweather RP - Mayza RP - Richards RP - RP - RP - Depth pitchers on the 40 man: Hatch, Castro, Kay, Thornton, Snead, Borucki, Saucedo, Baker It's actually a pretty decent team just like that to be honest, and there are several different ways the FO can go to try and improve on it. Biggest places to make improvements: Position players/bench: 2B (Biggio), 3B (Espinal) and 4th OF (Grichuk) Starting pitching: Stripling, Pearson Relief pitching: Probably need to sign 2 or 3 high quality arms with a history of durability. They also don't have a full time DH, but if they can upgrade the 4th OFer spot they can keep rotating players through the DH role to give position players a day off in the field while keeping their bat in the line up. This is why landing Brantley would have been so nice last off season. Maybe they can snag Schwarber this off season to take that type of role.

Manager, bullpen and not playing at Rogers for half the home games turned this 99 win team into a 91 win team

I don't think the FO will f*** around this off season. They'll get done what needs to get done, and this team will have a realistic shot at 100 wins next season.

Grichuk and Smith for Donaldson Sign Schwarber Re-sign Ray & Matz Sign 2 high quality relievers C - Kirk / Jansen 1B - Vladdy 2B - Biggio 3B - Donaldson SS - Bo LF - Gurriel CF - Springer RF - Teo DH - Schwarber C - Jansen / Kirk IF - Espinal UT - Valera OF - Somebody fast who can play CF (Bring Dyson back?) SP - Ray SP - Berrios SP - Ryu SP - Manoah SP - Matz Long man 1 - Stripling Long man 2 - Pearson Closer - Romano Setup - Free agent (Givens?) Setup - Free agent (Neris?) RP - Merryweather RP - Cimber RP - Mayza RP - Richards Depth relief - Borucki Depth relief - Saucedo Depth relief - Castro Depth relief - Baker Depth relief - Snead

They already extended Montoyo and then the team won 91 games. He isn't getting canned.

Very good left handed bat, he can play OF, DH and fill in at 1B too.

Bring back Ray and Matz Sign 2-3 quality relievers Sign Schwarber Find a way to get rid of Grichuk Biggio back to 2B Espinal and Smith battle for 3B

91 wins and a +183 run differential and we finish FOURTH in our f***ING division. f*** the AL East

And that one person is a f***ing Jay too. So like I said, hopefully next season the JAYS take care of their s*** better so we don't have to watch this f***ing brutal s*** happen again.

You know what I mean for f*** sakes. They were +180 run differential for crying out loud. If they would have taken care of their s*** sooner we wouldn't be sitting here watching all our rivals bend us over. Too little too late.

Maybe next year the Jays will take take of their own s*** so we don't have to rely on other f***ing teams to clinch us a playoff spot. Of course the Yankees, Red Sox and Rays all find a way to brutally and painfully push our s*** in at virtually the same f***ing moment time.

No way the Nationals are winning this game We're good and f***ed now

Soto the hottest hitter in baseball until the Jays could use some help. Then he's a useless piece of s***

f***ing yes!!

Yes to Schwarber please.

Nobody asked if these teams were all great. The question was as a group is the division the greatest of all time? With four 90+ win teams with a collective +500-ish run differential, I would have to say they right up there without a doubt.

Yankees and Red Sox could finish with 92 wins, Jays could finish with 91. 4 teams with 90+ wins in the same division, and they've been facing off against each other all season. 4 teams in the top 9 in MLB from the same division. Not to mention, teams like Milwaukee, Chicago and Houston have benefited from easier schedules.

The Mariners are f***ing annoying pieces of s***

Holy s*** this clown looks like he's about to walk in some Red Sox runs. Not even f***ing close.

The Jays X-W/L is now 98-63 They left a lot of wins on the table They should be playing out the string right now and waiting to see who they are going to kick the s*** out of in a wild card game they will soon be hosting.

Bases loaded and that moron refuses to swing at borderline pitches. Get some balls you f***ing loser

90 wins in the toughest division in all of baseball

He was saying it's over 2-3 weeks ago with another ground breaking thread creation.
