  1. But, if they'd have signed Teo and JDM though we'd be golden.
  2. I've don't know if I've ever seen someone so dumb and clueless be soooooo sure of himself in my entire life. And also just completely smug about it.
  3. We'll pay for the whole contract, just take Springer back the other way haha
  4. Yeah his deal is really nice for sure, but that 36.7 K-rate this year is frightening and his D value has dropped which also not good, although we wouldn't want him for CF.
  5. I feel like the Guardians are what the jays should be right now if so many of the underperforming (or cooked in some cases) players were actually hitting their projections. If Bo had 2-3 WAR right now, Vlad had 2-3 WAR right now, Springer and Kirk could still hit, Gausman was 23-24 level Gausman and the bullpen was doing what it did last year. If, if, if, if, if..... Hopefully they can get some wins. Gonna be tough.
  6. Robert isn't exactly lighting the world on fire this year, and he's certainly no superstar caliber player. He'd be a nice add to see if he can turn it around and a big upgrade to Springer/KK but I certainly wouldn't pay through the teeth to get him here.
  7. For sure, but at least it's finally happened and the Jays aren't out of the fight yet.
  8. Haha, yeah he's been ice cold lately down there.
  9. Oh man isn't that the truth.
  10. Hopefully Jansen and Schneider start to heat up again, hopefully Bo has a 2nd half like 2022 and hopefully Horwitz/Barger prove they belong
  11. And there it is for the folks that wondered why Biggio and not Vogelbach. Answer is both. Hopefully Barger has a better showing than his debut call up Please bench Springer and make him a late inning D replacement
  12. Is there a precedent for a GM being turfed mid-season when his team is hovering around .500 and just a few games from a wild card spot?
  13. They give way too much rope based on past performance. Bo I can see being patient with at this point, he was terrible for the first half of 2022 and ended up with 4.9 fWAR (man we could use a hot streak like that again this year) But holy s*** Springer is cooked. It's June 14th and he's still sporting a .580 OPS and they have three OF's in Buffalo with way better projections than that in Barger, Lukes and Berroa. Barger and Lukes are even on the 40 man FFS And yeah, enough with Mayza already too. Danner is also on the 40 man, let's have a look at him. He got the call last year but immediately was hurt, then a rough start this year. But he's been better lately. Swanson is getting pounded on AAA too, my bet is Mayza would as well.
  14. Riley Tirotta with a 169 wRC+ through his first 52 PA's in AAA He was promoted after a 156 wRC_ in 73 PA's in AA He's played 9 games at 1B, 2 games at 3B and 2 games as the DH in AAA
  15. IP 2020 6.0 2021 54.1 2022 0.0 2023 25.0 2024 82.2 One of these years is not like the others.... It'll be interesting to see how far they push him.
  16. The Braves are also a case in point for just get in and you have a chance. 2021 - 88 wins, win world series 2022 - 101 wins, 1 playoff win 2023 - 104 wins, 1 playoff win
  17. I agree these guys are old and I'd love to see more Bisons brought up. I mean would Barger really be worse than a .589 OPS playing in RF every day? We'd probably lose some D value but it's ridiculous that they keep trotting Springer out there every day.
  18. Being optimistic is enjoyable Looking for the good in things is enjoyable Following a sports team is supposed to bring you enjoyment If it only makes you miserable and turns you into a whiny baby that spends a portion of his time going on the internet and complaining, why do it? I got news for you, you can't control whether the Jays are good or not. You shouldn't let things you can't control make you miserable. Or go ahead and do let it make you miserable, whatever floats your boat.
  19. Being on the optimistic side is better than being a miserable whiner all the time.
  20. Bo career OPS .806 / this season .633 Kirk career OPS .738 / this season .594 Springer career OPS .823 / this season .582 Turner career OPS .823 / this season .673 KK career OPS .713 / this season .565 Vogelbach career OPS .745 / this season .578 wRC+ Bo career 122 / season 83 Kirk career 111 / season 80 Springer career 128 / season 76 Turner career 126 / season 98 KK career 97 / season 62 Vogelbach career 108 / season 70 Something is just rotten to the core here. Springer must be just cooked I guess, but JT still had an .800 OPS and 114 wRC+ last year. Vladdy, IKF, Varsho and Jansen all hanging in around career averages.
  21. jaysblue with another strawman argument It's literally the only thing you can do is give me a position I've never taken and then try to make fun of me for it
  22. This is what happens when you're filling out your roster from a free agent pool that's full of crap. Some of it works, some of it doesn't, and with the benefit of hindsight you can piss and moan until the cows come home every time a performer from that free agent pool hits a dinger.
