  1. And here comes the parade of nit wits who will claim the Jays FO should have traded Vlad if he wasn't willing to talk extension at an earlier date.
  2. I have a hard time believing they'd agree to give a worm burning 1B $500+ million.
  3. Hard to believe people exist who are actually having tantrums over the Jays letting go Ryan f***ing Yarbrough lol
  4. Lol Please delete his account, thanks
  5. I think he's a fun loving guy, but he's a peanut brain. I don't think he can sustain the numbers he'll need to in order to put up an 8ish WAR season, but I hope I'm wrong. It'd be great if he did because: 1. It'd be a blast to watch as a Jays fan 2. Probably means the Jays are also doing well 3. Even if they're not doing well, he'd have much higher trade value at the deadline if he's mashing the cover off the ball
  6. It has certainly left a sour taste in fans mouths, but unfortunately I think the majority of casual fans are (and will be) blaming the front office, and not the mentally challenged 1B who vastly over rates himself.
  7. BOLD predictions? 1. Jays win 100 games 2. Vlad/Bo/Giminez/Varsho/Santander/Kirk all have 3.5+ fWAR and combine for 25-30 fWAR 3. Gausman, Scherzer and Francis all pitch 130+ innings and have ERA's below 3.20 4. Jays have 8 guys hit 20+ bombs (Bo/Vlad/Taters/Kirk/Springer/Varsho/Orelvis/Barger) 5. Springer kicks father time in the nuts, gets hot at the right time and wins ALCS MVP 6. Jays face the D-backs in the WS Okay, hurt me....
  8. So I think what your saying is.....and correct me if I'm wrong, that the Jays could really use 1 or 2 more "big bats"? I looked at your post history, and it's not really clear if you see the lack of another "big bat" or two as a potential issue the Jays may face this season.
  9. Anybody seen these beauties? My favorites are "Anals" "AsHos" and of course "TeTas" lol
  10. Unless Vlad puts up an 8+ WAR season he's in for a rude awakening when he hits the open market IMO
  11. I dunno guys, it has been a whole entire 6 ABs of spring training already, plenty of time to come to a definite conclusion about a player they just signed and completely write him off using a 34 year old DH the Jays signed 8 years ago as a comparison.
  12. There something to be said for the athlete that has a "been there, done that" attitude when it comes to everyday celebrations in sports. Save the big cellys for the big moments. So many attention whores out there these days.
  13. Many, many, many times he said that.
  14. Yeah, if Roden wins AL ROY and Orelvis smacks 20+ dingers I'm gonna be sooo pissed.
  15. Lol my goodness. Go outside. Touch grass. Get a life beyond your Fandom.
  16. Yep, him and his little peanut brain will burn through the ABS appeals in no time. He's always waving for an appeal on the base paths no matter how out he was, thankfully in that situation the bench has to ask for the appeal officially. At the plate though, we're screwed.
  17. I've been saying it for years, he's an all natural talent with a low IQ and unable to make and sustain the proper adjustments he needs to make in order to improve. He doesn't want to "think" he just wants to go and hit and play the game.
  18. Hard to believe folks are mad at the FO for not caving to Vladdy Groundballo Jr's ridiculous contract demands.
  19. I disagree with the ongoing and growing narrative that the Jays have messed the Vlad/Bo situation up. Truth is these are good players but they are not superstars and they have been very inconsistent throughout their careers, and giving them the superstar level contracts they want in order to keep them here could end up being a far worse move long term than just letting them play out the string and see where the chips fall. It's been a struggle for the FO to build a winning team around these two when they're young and relatively cheap, imagine trying to build around them when they are 30+ and carrying superstar price tags.
  20. Nice to see some sense in this thread. The money Vlad is asking for is insane, and people want to chastise the FO for not giving it to him? Life will go on if the overweight 1B who can't play D or base run walks in FA. Sure, when he's on he can hit, but when he's off he brings nothing else to the table.
