When you are already rich, why risk being unhappy over a few more million when he knows what it's like here. Nice to see it's not always about money.
-
Yea maybe, but he should be able to get a better deal even if just 1-2 years. Anyway great news for us lol. There was a 4m buyout too so even better.
-
Bieber opts in, 16m for 1 year. He loves the Jays that much he is taking a discount. Very surprising.
-
See how Hoffman does, maybe a deadline closer. A healthy santander and we might be good. And we got Varland still, 4 or 5? more years! That’s like 1000 innings if we can get him 4 outs per game.
-
Bieber was 3/70 before that 11th inning
-
Just make sure we aren't in any tight games in the World Series
-
I mean yea, he wants more than 20 million a year though and more than 2 years. We probably can't do that. Sorry meant to quote the guy above asking about Edwin Díaz
-
That anxiety from Sunday and Monday has died off slightly -
He thinks he is going to improve and get a better deal I guess. It's a risk you can take when you already have tens of millions I guess.
-
How often do games really go deep into extras though?
-
Does Atkin know ernie is the most liked person in the clubhouse? That would be a hit to the vibes. The return would have to be skubal.
-
I been screaming butterfly effect from the roof tops. Multiple peoples lives will be saved because of the loss. Someone who may have got into a car accident is going to be saved because he calls in sick due to depression after the loss. But also due to the butterfly effect, many people will die as a distant result of things that happened Sunday night/morning

This was the same team that in September split 4 games with the rays, then lost the next series to the royals and next series to the Red Sox. All while under pressure to hold the division They had to get really hot and get perfect performances from 80% of the team to get as far as they did Not to mention 3 top offences of our opponents going cold and their pitchers have a few bad games
-
Nothing can be worse. Being big under dogs makes it worse. I have definitely tried to find the worst World Series losses and there is an argument this could be the worst one ever. You have the rangers and red Sox in 86 but those were both game 6s
-
We are going to get mocked forever. Just like the rangers in 2011 I wish Ortiz didn’t egg Vladdy on to do the Yankees lose bit. Vladdy would never have done that if it wasn’t for Ortiz.
-
Baseball isn’t about winning the World Series. Unless you want to switch teams 1/2 of baseball fans will probably never see a World Series win the next 50 years. It’s about being competitive and is there to give you hope, which is meant to be crushed. There’s a lot of fun narratives all season, follow players and stats, minor leagues etc, then it’s a lot of fun to bask in the misery of other fans being crushed every year. Enemy teams like the Yankees and going forward, the dodgers. You can’t blame these crappy teams who are bottom dwellers for abandoning watching all together, but I wouldn’t be surprised if alot of them have 2/3rd teams they support
-
The more SP free agents the better for us. Flood the market.
-
Neglect could be a reason to reneg on that contract. Let's hope Vlad had good lawyers and that he actually read the fine print. Atkins is shrewd.
-
Cubs declining to extend Imanaga, now a free agent. Some of his numbers were rough yea but I think it was 3/57 they didn't want to pay.
-
Leadoff run scores 38% of time, bases loaded 1 out 85% of the time they score. All at bats are different if Vlad was on.
-
If AJ Pearzinski or Eric Kratz, or basically anyone on twitter was our coach we win the World Series. Anyone except Whit Merrifield and Tommy Pham. And you can't really trust Tommy Pham because he's a big IKF guy but hates the blue jays.
-
I choose to believe Kike makes the catch and will not be watching it ever again I'm sure Dodgers had lots of missed opps too which we won't even remember.
-
I don't know, risk reward is the reasoning But yea you cant imagine IKF is one to have a lot of confidence being where he is in his career
-
This is a good video on it, they do think IKF done f***ed up. But one quote from AJ - at about 10 mins, is you can never worried about being doubled up on the bases. Reasoning that even if you are 3' off and you take that first step, you are cooked either way on a sharp line drive because of your momentum.
-
Yea I do not like this narrative that this is a once in a lifetime group of guys and can never be replicated. Sure, for them though. I like to see them having fun but no fans are going to cherish memories of joking around in the clubhouse and interviews saying they love each other. That does not help me. If we win it doesn't matter, winning solves all problems And honestly I have the feeling the clubhouse is only such a nice place to be is because of guys like Ernie who don't have big egos with their 200m contracts. Sounds like he is mostly responsible for the environment there
