  1. A lot of things do seem to go wrong with this team for sure, I get it. Vlad turning into a 1 WAR first baseman with the IQ of a peanut Bo looking like he doesn't want to be here, but also being a below average defensive 3 WAR SS Manoah cratering from a 6 WAR starting pitcher into a negative WAR nightmare Pearson, once a top 5-10 prospect in all of baseball barely being able to hold down a relief spot Kirk, a guy who literally destroyed pitching all the way up the MiLB ladder and into MLB now swinging a wet noodle that he somehow managed not to eat. Jansen unable to go more than 30-40 games without pulling a muscle or breaking a bone. That's why I chuckle at the haters of the front office. The fact this team still manages to win about 90 games a year with all those "core" pieces turning into wet mushy cow manure borders on being some sort of miracle IMO.
  2. These sumabitches will find the cloud in every silver lining.
  3. Why so defensive? I didn't say there is anything wrong with it or disparage it in any way. I'm only saying that in every relationship there is a giver and a receiver, and on the whole, a relationship between the AL Central teams and AL East teams the Central teams would very likely be the receivers, in a similar fashion as you are. This is all just common knowledge (or at least I thought) nothing to get bent out of shape about. My apologies if you took it the wrong way. I mean if anyone should be on the defensive it would be me, as a result of your unproved attack calling me a "tool" IIRC, but I tend not to worry about such things, as I realize I must have hurt your feelings by pointing out the obvious fact that AL Central teams (again, on the whole) are much weaker than AL East teams and (on the whole) don't impress me as much as they seem to impress you.
  4. It's the pitch clock, just ask Scherzer.
  5. In his FA year too, that's rough.
  6. They'd all get their s*** pushed in (ya know, the way you do on a nightly basis) playing in the AL East
  7. Looks like a bunch of crappy teams that would probably finish last in the AL East to me, but one of them will be gifted a divisional playoff spot and at least one more will probably be in the WC hunt because of their lighter schedule and not having to play 50+ games against the AL East.
  8. At least Jennings had a solid start
  9. Bisons offense is waking up, they've now scored 11 runs in their last 4 innings spanning two games in a double header today.
  10. Richards was the reliever I was most worried about holding up but he's dialed in. He's like the reliever version of Marco Estrada
  11. Jennings on the bump for Vancouver today, hopefully he builds off last season.
  12. Still not what you want to see haha Let's just hope he didn't get injured.
  13. Ricky with a rough day, 44 pitches only 19 strikes, 4 walks, 1 hit, 0 K's That ain't what you want to see
  14. Who in the front office has thrown up their hands and complained that it's too hard? What are you even talking about? lmao And they did change the plan (it looks like from the outside anyways), after the only real FA bat went where everyone figured he was going they shored up the defense and waited out the DH market, ended up with Turner. They tossed up a hail mary for Ohtani and when that didn't happen they decided not to waste a f***load of money on lesser bats with question marks all over them like Bellinger.
  15. That's f***ing ******** of the Dodgers and their staff. Greedy pieces of f***ing smelly s***. The average person is going to have no idea of the value of that ball and they got her alone and pressured her into giving it up for 1/10th what it's worth. SEE YOU ENN TEE's the lot of them.
  16. I just noticed the Jays are dead last in the league with a 0.196 BABIP That's some pretty bad luck ain't it? Some stat cast guru's please tell me it's mostly bad luck and will likely improve
  17. It does matter. You can't sit there and continuously whine and bitch about the Jays not "fixing the offense" when there was no realistic way to fix it. I mean, I guess you can fault the FO somewhat for not realizing Vladdy is an over rated wannabe with a thimble brain, Springer's offensive trajectory was going to do a cliff dive and Kirk's 2nd half 2022 was just the beginning of the league figuring out how to handle him.
  18. Too bad Parsons wasn't actually good, lol Espino will be the next one DFA'ed probably at some point to make room for RT or YR if/when they are deemed ready for MLB
  19. Yeah, a team need that couldn't be realistically or properly addressed with the pile of s*** options that were readily available so the FO pivoted to make sure they at least had the defense shored up and the pitching wouldn't suffer from s***** defense on the left side of the field.
  20. How do you even know Urshela or Teo would actually sign with Toronto and for the same amount they signed with other teams? That's the problem with you armchair GM twats that think you have all the answers. You think the jays could have just brought in whoever the f*** you happen to think was a better option, no questions asked and then complain that they didn't bring that player in all the while not having a f***en clue if that player was a realistic option or not
  21. lol, geeez, thanks tips, but that's what they tried to do. They tried to create balance. All they did was trade Teo and LGJ for defense and pitching, that's it. Unfortunately nobody saw Vladdy, Springer, Kirk all forgetting how to hit a f***ing baseball at the exact same time that they removed Teo and LGJ. If those bats don't fall off a cliff the Jays are pushing 95-100 wins last season. So they tried to bring in the biggest, and only real free agent bat available. When that predictably didn't work they shored up the defense and are now hoping for a bounce back from those same bats because, going back to my original point......there WERE NO PROVEN SURE THING DIFFERENCE MAKING BATS LEFT ON THE FA MARKET after Ohtani. If this doesn't work they are probably going to have to retool/rebuild this offense going forward, and that should be easier to do without a bunch of s*** bag albatross contracts on the books like the one they would have to have given Bellinger to "land" him.
