    I wonder if that one poster still thinks we should "fire Varsho into the sun"?? Jonn IIRC
  2. Eat My Shatkins
    Varsho with more WAR than Gurriel and Moreno combined for 1/5th the cost Plus our catchers are both positive WAR and combined have triple the WAR value of Moreno so it's not like he left a gaping hole in the line up

    Honestly, the best and cheapest addition to the team at this point would be Bo pulling a rabbit out of his hat like he did in 2022. He had a 106 wRC+ at the end of June that year, the rest of the season he put up 152 wRC+
  4. Eat My Shatkins
    It was a surprise for sure. We were all expecting Varsho to be the full time CFer and for the Jays to bring in another corner OFer with a big bat. They clearly misjudged the market and jumped the gun on KK. Still no guarantee they end up with Teo though if they had waited.

    Outbidding the Dodgers at that point of the off season would have given the Jays four full time OFers and put them into the next tier of luxury tax penalties. And also at that point they wouldn't have expected Springer to have an 80wRC+ and a .600 OPS in June, and they wouldn't have any guarantee that Teo would be hitting like this. He was nearly as bad as Springer was last season. Everybody just loves to climb on the hindsight band wagon.
  6. Eat My Shatkins
    Teo is turning into this year's Gurriel and Moreno. Everytime he does something good we get to hear about how the Jays missed out. This assumes two things: 1. That the Jays could have signed him at all 2. That he'd be doing the same thing in Jays uniform

    vs. the A's in two games Jays starters, 210 pitches, 1 run given up Jays bullpen, 1 pitch, 1 run given up
  8. Eat My Shatkins
    1 pitch from the bullpen in this series so far haha
  9. Eat My Shatkins
    Hell of a start
  10. Eat My Shatkins
    lmao

    Would be nice to keep the BP fresh with I assume Francis starting tomorrow?
  12. Eat My Shatkins
    I like all the XBH's today
  13. Eat My Shatkins
    You worry way too much about other posters on this board and trying to dunk on them over s*** they didn't even say and/or don't even believe and/or don't even do.
  14. Eat My Shatkins
    Yes it's possible, I mean now that we can hand pick the off season free agent bats that are performing of course it would have improved the offense (but not fixed it), but remember many people wanted them to get a guy like Soler too who has not performed, which is why no one is using him as an example for improvement right now, and a month ago nobody was complaining about the Turner signing either. And yeah, the offense is probably better and maybe we win that game last night, but maybe we lose a game earlier in the season because IKF isn't here to make a key play at 3rd or maybe Teo boots a play in LF because Varsho isn't out there because he's in CF instead of KK? This is why I used fWAR as my example earlier when comparing IKF/Turner/Vogelbach/KK vs. Teo/JDM and let's not forget I'm using hindsight to hand pick Teo and JDM here as successful examples of off season free agent bats when it could have just as easily been one that has fallen flat.

    Hopefully some of these bullpen guys can get healthy and perform so at the very least they can be dealt to clear salary and bring in some lottery ticket prospects. If the bullpen is going to lay fat turds all season long we might as well thrust some of the younger cheaper guys into more prominant roles to see if they can excel and also bring up some of the younger cheaper arms from AAA and AA. Let's see Pearson closing, let's see some of Cooke, Danner, Fluharty, Juenger, Pardinho, Burnette.
  16. Eat My Shatkins
    Haha yeah it kind of is. I don't know if they expected Kirk and Springer to bounce back or were just hoping. But I doubt they expected them to get worse, bring Bo both them and also have Turner fall apart in the 2nd month of the season.
  17. Eat My Shatkins
    Yeah, if the Jays sign JDM and Teo instead of all those other guys this offense would be "fixed" for sure. We'd be right up there with the Orioles for the 1st wild card.
  18. Eat My Shatkins
    I've said so many times I can't count, that: 1. If the core bats didn't come around we were screwed 2. Other than ohtani or Soto none of the other crap available was going to fix this mess unless #1 happened 3. Atkins is responsible for this baseball teams results, good or bad
  19. Eat My Shatkins
    People don't get it though, because every time we lose a game they complain that they didn't fix the offense this past off season. Every time. The junk that was out there wasn't going to fix it. It was too late.
  20. Eat My Shatkins
    Can't believe the Jays didn't fix the offense. Instead of: IKF - $7.5 million / 1.2 fWAR Turner - $13 million / -0.1 fWAR KK - $10.5 million / 0.2 fWAR Vogelbach - $2.0 million / -0.2 fWAR Total - $33 million / 1.1 fWAR They should have signed: Teo - $23.5 million / 1.4 fWAR JDM - $12 million / 0.5 fWAR Total - $35.5 million / 1.9 fWAR Season saved! An extra 0.8 fWAR! Wait, what?? It's almost like this team was screwed no matter what (unless they miraculously landed Ohtani or Soto) because the rest of the options weren't good enough to actually make up for the core hitters on this team turning to garbage the last two seasons.
  21. Eat My Shatkins
    Maybe Martinez told them to get f***ed?
  22. Eat My Shatkins
    Or Clement, who's been ass lately
  23. Eat My Shatkins
    The smaller the sample size for sure, sample size is getting up there now though with all the teams over 60 games in. Imagine being the Phillies and having played 63 games now with just 6 of them against teams that are currently above .500
  24. Eat My Shatkins
    Jays are 17-24 against above .500 teams, them and Boston are tied for the 2nd most games played vs above .500 teams at 41 The most is the White Sox at 47 The Phillies have played 6 games against above .500 teams The Dodgers have played 9
  25. Eat My Shatkins
