  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Maybe Martinez told them to get f***ed?
  4. Or Clement, who's been ass lately
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. Lol Take it easy you overly sensitive baby. Lol I don't have you on ignore lol Lol Lol
  8. Most people probably.wont see that there was a game thread for today, just saying....
  9. Even of they sign Teo instead of KK all they get is an extra 1 fWAR to this point for an extra $9.9 million and that's assuming Teo would have take the same 1 year deal with the Jays which we know he wouldn't because he said so when the Dodgers were in town. He wanted a multi year deal from the Jays. Maybe they squeeze a little more value out of Varsho to this point because he's fulltime CF too
  10. I've said it many times, the Jays did the right thing after 2022, they sacrificed a little offense (Teo and Gurriel) for improved defense (Varsho and KK) but what they didn't count on was Springer, Kirk and Vladdys bats all s***ing the bed, plus Varsho also didn't have a good year at the plate either. Like way below projections. Varsho bounced back so far this year, but Kirk and Springer are even worse which is unbelievable. And while Vladdy has been better at the plate, that has been offset by Bo sporting a 80 wRC+ Springer s***ing the bed can be passed off due to age, although you wouldn't expect that much of a drop off that quickly, but it happens. The core of Vlad Bo and Kirk just ain't what we thought it was.
  11. I blame the IKF signing for Vladdy only having 1.2 fWAR through a third of the season and it's also his fault that Kirk, Springer and Bo only have 70-80 wRC+ They all figured IKF was here to save the franchise and felt like they didn't need to hit anymore.
  12. The team was built around some core bats that have completely fallen apart. Springer is older now, but I don't think anyone thought he'd fall this far this fast. Vlad, Bo and Kirk are all not what we thought they'd be two years ago. If anyone predicted those four would be this bad in 2024 I'd love to see those posts.
  13. Yariel threw 43 pitches for the Bisons today and completed 3 innings with 0 hits 0 runs 4 Ks and 1 walk
  14. 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.
  15. 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 .
  16. But we do have expanded playoffs so who gives a s*** about what it'd be like if we didn't have them?
  17. I dunno if I could handle watching Vladdy pound the ball into the dirt twice as often
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. 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.
  21. Ooof, yeah that's not a good sign.
  22. 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.
