  1. Yariel threw 43 pitches for the Bisons today and completed 3 innings with 0 hits 0 runs 4 Ks and 1 walk
  2. Correct. And those 2 or 3 dorks are also always sarcastically asigning a viewpoint to the optimistic leaning posters that they never really had. Like for instance, my belief that other than Ohtani or Soto there were no ways to really fix the offense last off season (none of the other options were anything more than lip stick on a pig) doesn't mean I believe Atkins isn't ultimately at fault or should be given a "free pass". But the morons just latched onto that notion and keep going with it.
  3. I haven't done that as far as I know but I'll use it as an indicator of whatever the f*** I want, thank you very much .
  4. But we do have expanded playoffs so who gives a s*** about what it'd be like if we didn't have them?
  5. I dunno if I could handle watching Vladdy pound the ball into the dirt twice as often
  6. Haha, who cares? A lot of good that does for us now. We used to have 7 top 100 prospects too. Whoopty-doo They all suck now
  7. Vlad was a gift? Some gift. Here is an overweight 1-3 WAR first baseman that pounds the ball into the ground and has a peanut brain. Thanks for the gift AA Next time how about a pair of socks instead
  8. I've specifically said, numerous times now, that Ohtani and Soto were the only two ways to legitimately and significantly improve the offense this past off season, and that it's all the other crap that wouldn't move the needle. The Jays were reportedly in on both and missed. Just the way it goes sometimes.
  9. Ooof, yeah that's not a good sign.
  10. You have to think given his history that he'd be willing to sign any sort of half way decent multi year contract that wouldn't be crippling to the Jays even if he continued with his injury riddled ways. But yeah, I have no way of knowing that for sure.
  11. I wonder what the plan is for Jordan Hicks, he's reached the same amount of innings this year (63ish) as he had in the past two seasons as a reliever. You have to think there is some sort of innings limit on the guy, he's never pitched more than 77 and that was 6 years ago.
  12. Drafting and developing is also a huge concern, no doubt about it. On one hand it's a good thing the Jays traded most of their high end prospects before they flopped, but on the other hand it's really quite concerning that they all flopped.
  13. Must be shell shocked from the Grichuk extension haha
  14. Yeah it's really hard to understand why Jansen hasn't been extended.
  15. Just because Teoscar is having a decent year doesn't mean the Jays should have signed him at 31 years old to a multi year deal worth around $20 million per season, especially after watching him go from 4.0 WAR to 2.9 WAR to 1.8 WAR in his 29/30/31 year old seasons. Only a moron would have given him a multi year deal at that point, especially after watching Springer fall of a cliff at 33 years old. And Teo's 127 wRC+ isn't saving this team right now anyways, and that's assuming he'd even be putting up those numbers not sandwiched in between a bunch of future HOF bats in the Dodgers offense.
  16. Turner is now the only regular starter who is dragging this team backwards, with a -0.4 fWAR The stars haven't contributed enough, which is the biggest problem, but a guy like Turner is actually sucking the life out of the offense. I mean he was over 1 fWAR after April IIRC. They cannot afford to keep feeding him regular ABs at this point.
  17. Ohtani is a legit difference maker for sure, which is why the jays actually pulled out all the stops to try and land him, even it was a futile attempt it was their only real hope at "fixing the offense". It was also rumored that they looked into acquiring Soto as well, another legit difference maker. As I've said numerous times, the only two real legit options at legitimately fixing this team. Everything else was just noise and armchair GMs using hindsight to hand pick the success stories so far this season.
  18. As much as I like to crap on Kirk: Kirk - .214 / .295 / .289 / wRC+ 72 / fWAR 0.8 Moreno - .234 / .323 / .324 / wRC+ 89 / fWAR 0.9
  19. lol I mean look at this team! Varsho = 1.9 fWAR Vlad + Bo + Kirk = 1.9 fWAR combined Tell please tell me again how signing Hoskins and Teo would have saved this team lmao The only thing that would have saved this team is Atkins somehow having the foresight and balls to trade Vlad and Bo after 2021 0r 2022 which nobody in their right mind would have done, and if he had tried he would have had his balls immediately separated from his body by Shapiro and/or Rogers. "You wanna do what Ross?!?!?"
  20. Well clearly you are in the minority as not a single MLB GM was willing to give him even a two year deal, never mind 3 or 4.
  21. I'm not irrationally angry, but I do find it annoying that same two or three morons pop up and claim I absolve Atkins of any blame whatsoever just because I argue that fixing the offense last off season wasn't as easy as many want to believe. He built the team, of course he has to take some of the blame. I put most of the blame on an underperforming core of players who looked like a sure thing to build around just two years ago. Clearly at this point we can all see that it was a mistake to build around them though.
  22. I would have loved Teo on a 1 year deal, he said he talked to the Jays and wanted a 3 year deal from them. Given that he didn't even break 1 fWAR last season do you really blame the Jays for not jumping at that? It's all fine and dandy to say you would now that he's lighting it up in the middle of a stacked Dodgers line up though.
