    Things weren't terrible as long as they kept winning 90ish games a season and getting a crack at finding lightning in a bottle for the playoffs. But the team falling apart this season combined with a very low rated farm system is not a good look for Atkins or Shapiro. After 8 years of building a farm system that was supposed to keep a steady trickle of MLB talent coming, there is solid depth being graduated right now and more coming. But the high end talent is just not there, and even the high end prospects they traded haven't amounted to much if anything with their new teams. Developing decent MLB depth is one thing, but you need to bring along some star power too, and they haven't been able to do that. Now the stars they did have are all s***ing the bed and there isn't a decent core to even build around anymore. For sure some heads are going to roll. Hopefully the new FO can find and develop sustainable MLB stars.

    I'm glad I'm not the one who has to decide what to do with him. You could sign him to a long term contract and get burned badly (or be happy you did it) You could trade him for a mediocre return and get burned badly (or be happy you did it) I say mediocre return because I don't see a big return for him at this point.

    My username probably doesn't help

    Eat My Shatkins doesn't think the Jays signing a few handpicked FA's from last off season (like Teo or JDM for example) would have fixed their offense this year =/= EMS will run through a wall for Ross Atkins lmao Figure it out dummies
  5. Eat My Shatkins
    That's because a certain group of boneheads couldn't differentiate between my defending one aspect of last off season from what my real stance on Atkins and the Jays front office is and then projected that I was some sort of huge Atkins defender. And with these latest comments by you that false projection just gets amplified. Like seriously, how many f***ing times does one need to explain themselves before you figure it out?
  6. Eat My Shatkins
    There was?
  7. Eat My Shatkins
    Right? There are so many legitimate things that are wrong with this ball club and it's management, why is this doorknob bringing up one of the few wins they've had recently, as a negative? And using batting average to drive his idiocy home.
  8. Eat My Shatkins
    Oh man... Someone this out of touch shouldn't be allowed to post here unless he's here to shut up and learn something. Sportsnet comments section is more your speed.

    Seeing as how Varsho is out WARing Moreno and Gurriel combined, for a fraction of the cost, I'd say yes, the Jays indeed won that trade.
  10. Eat My Shatkins
    Hahaha
  11. Eat My Shatkins
    Any person in the org who puts, agrees to put, or signs off on one of the worst hitters in MLB continually batting in the middle of the Jays batting order needs to fired for sure. There is being loyal, and then there is being painfully stupid/stubborn. I have no idea how Springer hasn't been stapled to the bench yet. It's almost July and he's sporting a historically bad OPS for a COFer. It's madness.
  12. Eat My Shatkins
    Haha well, then get this....Springer's terrible OPS of .559 is still better than Kirk (.550) and KK (.523)
  13. Eat My Shatkins
    Springer with one of the worst OPS's for a starting corner outfield in the last 100 years and he's batting 5th for the Jays
  14. Eat My Shatkins
    Absolutely. I hope so.
  15. Eat My Shatkins
    Again, they reportedly talked with them all.
  16. Eat My Shatkins
    They reportedly had discussions with every single free agent bat out there. You can't MAKE free agents sign with your team. And like I've said, none of them would have been enough to save this tire fire anyways. Belt lol Nobody signed Belt, and Turner had better projections anyways. look where that got us.
  17. Eat My Shatkins
    Unless someone knocks their socks off, I don't see Vlad or Bo getting traded, especially at the TDL. Kikuchi, Jansen, KK, Yimi, Richards and Turner should all be dealt for every single prospect lotto ticket they can get.
  18. Eat My Shatkins
    It was sound logic It made sense on paper It has blown up in their faces spectacularly
  19. Eat My Shatkins
    It's not like they made a monumental shift to defense from 2022 to 2023. They traded Teo and Gurriel. That's it The problem is Springer went from 130 wRC+ to 100 wRC+, Kirk the same, Jansen 140 wRC+ to 115, Vlad from 135 to 115, and Varsho came over after 107 wRC with the Dbacks to 85 last year with the Jays. That's a crap ton of bats that fell off and the FO expected (or hoped for) some of them to bounce back this year and they didn't. In fact most of them got worse and even Bo joined them.
  20. Eat My Shatkins
    How in the world were they supposed to get a top 2 offense in 2024?
  21. Eat My Shatkins
    Yeah, I feel for the guy. Been a brutal 4 months.
  22. Eat My Shatkins
    I just keep coming back to the simple fact that everything would be much better if the core they'd chosen to build around had lived up to it's potential. IMO Atkins built a good team around a rotten core. A 5-7 WAR Vlad (which we had in 2022) A 4-5 WAR Bo (which we had 2021-2023) A 5-6 WAR catching tandem (which we had in 2023) The big question is why did the core kool-aid turn rotten? Was it an inevitability (IQ levels, physical conditioning, etc) or is it something the Jays did to cause it (coaching, team philosophy, etc)? That question needs to be answered for sure.

    Swanson gave up 6 earned runs yesterday a third of an inning. 9 strikes on 19 pitches. Rocking a 16.76 ERA since going to AAA I remember at the start of the year trying to guess which one of last years solid relievers was going to s*** the bed this year, because you knew there would be one for sure. Well, turns out I could have guessed any of Romano, Mayza, Swanson or even Green who's already had two IL stints and is on pace for like 35 IP lol I thought it'd be Richards
  24. Eat My Shatkins
    I use to follow the Jays and I was just too optimistic on BJMB and had to go into hiding lol Congrats to the doom and gloomers on all the losing the jays are doing lately.
  25. Eat My Shatkins
    I see Berroa is listed on the bench today, must have called him up when Orelvis got suspended
