Eat My Shatkins

lmao And the hits just keep on coming One of the few power hitters in our system is on the juice lol

You're probably going to be waiting a lot of weeks for that. If it happens it'll probably be in the off season.

Ramon Suarez in the DSL 10 IP 16.2 K/9 0.90 BB/9 0.90 ERA 1.42 xFIP 0.60 WHIP

Remember when we had a 6 WAR Vlad, a 5 WAR Bo and a 6 WAR catching tandem? What a time it was to be alive All 26 years old and under too

They must be showcasing Springer for a trade.

Springer batting clean up is absolutely insane and completely indefensible It's like Schneider is begging to be fired and seeing how far he can go before they turf him.

Yeah the one thing we can be grateful for right now is that the Jays didn't extend either Vlad or Bo to monster contracts. Whether by design or by luck, it's very fortunate. Personally I'm ready to see both shipped out and give them and the org a fresh start.

One of the few bright spots on the farm this year. All the others got injured or sucked.

I don't know what you're talking about Just trying to get my Atkins fellating in for the day, nice and early.

1. Deal KK (he'd be a nice veteran D pick up for a contender), Jansen (if he won't re-sign a fair deal) and Kikuchi (Boras....) for whatever lottery tickets you can get. Should be able to get some more lottery tickets from dealing Yimi and Richards too 2. Look to move Bo and Vlad, hopefully some teams out there thinks they can fix these two duds 3. Reset the luxury tax 4. Play the s*** out of the Buffalo boys and see what you've got, get them some experience to hopefully build off of 5. Build next years rotation around Gausman, Berrios, Bassitt with Y-Rod/Tiedemann/Francis/Macko trying to fill it out along an FA signing or two, maybe Manoah makes it back mid season 6. Also spend the rest of the season seeing if any of the relief arms in AAA/AA have any promise at the MLB level. Cooke, Danner, Juenger, Pardhino, Flaherty, Eisert, Brock, Burnette... 7. Go big game hunting in FA in the off season, see if you can find a better mix 8. Figure out why the f*** the drafting and development is failing and start fixing it

They should have offered Ohtani a billion, and let the Padres take whatever prospects they wanted for 1 year of Soto. THAT would have made a difference for sure. None of the other mid range players would have moved the needle enough to "fix" anything with half our other starters rocking sub .600 OPS's

If they try running it back again and strike out in free agency this place will eat itself alive lmao

I dunno if I'd blow up the rotation. I'd certainly be looking to move Vlad and Bo for hopefully a decent return of prospects. Then move forward with the Buffalo Boys and try to land some decent free agents.

Might be posted this year Also, slugger Munetaka Murakami Expect them to end up either in California or New York though. I mean, that's just the reality of it.

Orelvis!!

Because Buffalo is where he needs to go to have his sparkling BB/9 bloat to almost a walk per inning

Well, it's been about 3 months of me posting my thoughts about this all over this forum ad nauseam, but sure why not do it for the umpteenth time right? I think right now the Jays have about the 25th most runs scored in the league, Let's just say the Jays FO was as smart as you guys with your 100% hindsight and were able to sign Teo and JDM out of the half a dozen or more options everyone was also pining for last off season, like Soler and Gurriel for an example of guys who suck at the plate this year but no one brings up NOW with again...100% hindsight at their disposal. And lets also assume they were able to perform as well here in Toronto as they are on the Dodgers and Mets. And lets not forget that this is assuming they were even willing to sign with the Jays (which we don't know, we can only speculate). Since we're already assuming a whole bunch of other stuff let's just keep assuming that even if they would have signed with the Jays that they would have signed for the same money and term, $35.5 million combined. How much does that improve the offense? (remember we are assuming they are just ripping it up here like they are on the other teams) Probably safe to say we move up to middle of the pack as far as runs scored? So yeah, definitely an improvement. Is it fixed? I guess that depends on your definition of "fixed". I mean, I guess since we assuming so much stuff here you can assume, if you want to, that all the rest of the Jays hitters would just magically be much better hitters just with the mere presence of these two on the roster. But you've spent $35.5 million more than is allowed so we have to remove some of the players they did sign instead. IKF ($7.5) KK ($10.5) JT ($13.0) add up to $31 million. Obviously these perfectly executed hindsight changes would result in a better offense. Is it fixed? Probably not, with guys like Springer, Kirk and Bo still rocking sub .600 OPS's, but what do I know? I'm just an Atkins knob gobbler. It would certainly take away some jam from our defense though, and the only way I know how to compare these things would be fWAR I guess?? JDM + Teo = 3.1 fWAR IKF + KK + JT = 1.4 fWAR So a gain of 1.7 fWAR. Again, assuming the same level of performance in a Jays uni and a willingness to sign here. How did the FO ever miss this great opportunity to "fix" the Jays last off season?

Ah yeah, hadn't seen that....and he's 3-0 in 4 starts with a 2.14 ERA (4.34 xFIP / 5.57 K/9 / 3.00 BB/9) Of course he is. Like seriously, every single thing the Yankees touch this seasons turns into f***ing gold. Unbelievable. I can't wait for some of this ******** to come crashing back down to earth. I mean, they have a decent team....but the best team in baseball and without Cole to boot? C'mon FFS

I wonder who the Yanks are going to punt form the rotation? Stroman has to be the front runner no?

Spanky you should be ashamed of yourself for cheering the Jays on. That's not how you're supposed to fan anymore. You're supposed bitch and whine and complain about everything you can possibly think of, complain about the front office incessantly, call anyone who shows any positivity a pathetic homer/cheerleader/front office fellating moron, and also make sure that for 5,853rd time you make sure everyone knows that "YOU CANT BELIEVE THE FRONT OFFICE DIDNT DO ANYTHING TO FIX THE TEAM" and if we'd just signed 'X' instead of 'Y' we'd be a true juggernaut. (X = a FA from last off season that's doing great, Y = a Jays player they signed instead that is doing terrible (lots to choose from here)) C'mon man get with the times.

No kidding. Flippin unreal

The starting pitching has been just fine. The bullpen has been absolutely DECIMATED with injuries. Every single high leverage guy who exceled last season has spent time on the IL, some of them more than once already, except for Mayza who probably should spend time on the IL as his velo is way down.

lol dude

Yeah, looks like Green and Pearson will be on closing duties. Both pitched yesterday, but on 3 pitches for Pearson and 7 for Green. I was thinking maybe they'd recall Burr today if Yimi is out, but he pitched yesterday for the Bisons. Maybe Hagen Danner is ready for a solid look.

Isaac Paredes up for arb after this season and well on his way to another 4+ fWAR season. I wonder where he ends up next year, or alter this year? Which playoff juggernaut needs a 3B? I remember hearing rumors that the Jays were in discussions with Tampa for him, I wonder what they were asking for in return, if true?
