    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.

    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.

    Must be shell shocked from the Grichuk extension haha
  4. Eat My Shatkins
    Yeah it's really hard to understand why Jansen hasn't been extended.
  5. Eat My Shatkins
    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.

    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.
  7. Eat My Shatkins
    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.

    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
  9. Eat My Shatkins
    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?!?!?"
  10. Eat My Shatkins
    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.
  11. Eat My Shatkins
    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.
  12. Eat My Shatkins
    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.
  13. Eat My Shatkins
    Learn how to f***ing read you f***ing moron. Since when is putting Atkins on the hook for building around Vlad, Bo and Kirk giving him a free pass??? Are you really that f***ing stupid?
  14. Eat My Shatkins
    Bo and Springer pounding out .800+ OPS's for the rest of the season might save this offense. Add in Kirk with a .700 OPS would also help. Of course, if they do that we can't also have Varsho, Vlad and Jansen crap the bed at the same time.
  15. Eat My Shatkins
    This discussion is hilarious, same thing for the 1000 time this season. JAYS DID NOTHING TO FIX OFFENSE There really wasn't any options that could fix this offense. YEAH THERE WAS, LEMME GO TO FANGRAPHS AND HANDPICK TWO OR THREE OF THE 20 s***** OPTIONS THAT WERE AVAILABLE BUT ARE ACTUALLY HITTING WELL THIS SEASON...YEAH YEAH THEY SHOULD HAVE GIVEN THOSE GUYS BLANK CHEQUES Meanwhile the same people will argue that even landing ohtani wouldn't fix this offense right now, he'd just be one good bat in a sea of sucktitude lmao The offense this year was going to live or die with the core bouncing back, and they haven't so far. It's just a s***** core and if you want to blame Atkins for not figuring that out sooner fine.
  16. Eat My Shatkins
    That's crap. You're using hindsight to hand pick players who are having good years right now and that was no guarantee at the time. You look at Teo and Hoskins fangraphs and neither one of them are a sure thing every season. On top of that you can't guarantee they'd have the same success here as they are having on their current teams. And for all you know, the Jays did talk to these players and were told no outright, or no not unless you offer way more money.
  17. Eat My Shatkins
    Of course it's their job to figure it out, but they painted themselves into a corner building around what appears to be a rotten core. If you think they should walk the plank for expecting more out of Vlad, Bo, Kirk then fine, but it doesn't change the fact that there was f*** all they could do to "fix the offense" last off season.
  18. Eat My Shatkins
    Yeah I can't believe the bastards couldn't conjure up a bunch of amazing hitters out of thin air. They should be tarred and feathered.
  19. Eat My Shatkins
    And the DBacks had a -15 run differential and a pythag record of 80-82
  20. Eat My Shatkins
    People can't seem to grasp that all these 100 win super teams combined for 1 playoff win last year and a 90 win and a 84 win team duked it out for the championship. And that s*** happens a lot.
  21. Eat My Shatkins
    Lots of wins lately, hopefully they can keep.it going against some good teams now.
  22. Eat My Shatkins
    By all means keep it yourself, why share Jays news on a Jays message board?
  23. Eat My Shatkins
    Spencer Horwitz went 5 for 6 today with 2 doubles, a home run and 6 RBIs
  24. Eat My Shatkins
    The pen just can't catch a break this year.
  25. Eat My Shatkins
    So this is the fourth Jays pitcher to go see Meister this season? Maroudis = TJS Barrierra = TJS Tiedemann = no TJS yet but hasn't pitched in over a month Manoah = TBD
