October 3, 20231 yr comment_666122 7 hours ago, Wideleft said: The Jays have among the best starting rotation, a beefed up bullpen and one of the best defenses in baseball. Starting to see a few more long balls and timely hitting lately. The only thing that scares me is middle relief, but hopefully Gausman, Bassitt and Berrios can render that concern moot. It would help immensely to get some runs scored in the first 3 innnings. They have six quality bullpen arms that can get them all the innings the need to cover.
October 3, 20231 yr comment_666130 This game stinks of recent Blue Jays teams.... more or less exactly how I expected things to go. .......so far.

October 5, 20231 yr comment_666229 The hitting was atrocious but Schneider was already on thin ice. He'll be gone. But my bigger question is with the front office. There's a lot of problems with management.
October 5, 20231 yr comment_666249 Either Schneider needs to grow a pair or him and the front office all need to go. Pulling Berrios was madness at that point in time. Oh well, just freed up hours of my time for the next few weeks.
October 5, 20231 yr comment_666251 Team couldn't clutch hit all year. Just terrible. Blame the manager but the players should wear this. Time to trade Vladdy. You need a left-fielder and someone who can play 3rd. Need a new DH, someone who can hit reliably.

Kinda sounds like our team, Blue Jays always get set up to fail by the media in Toronto, they backed into the playoffs and a 2 game sweep showed they were never contenders.

If the Jays can resign Kiermaier, they are set in the outfield. Varsho plays the game the right way and will only get better. Springer is under contract through 2026, I think. No argument about DH, even though I find Belt hilarious.

No argument about DH, even though I find Belt hilarious. Vladdy is at a point where he wants too much for what he delivers. If they can't extend him long-term this offseason, they never will. Kiermaier is not coming back. The plan has always been to move Varsho to centre. Springer is getting too old to be your everyday right-fielder, but he can still hold it down next year. You need a left-fielder and they'll promote a kid from AAA to play third, but you can't trust them to play everyday.
October 13, 20231 yr comment_668421 Braves and Dodgers both out now if the Rangers could take out the Astros the World Series might be interesting.
October 13, 20231 yr comment_668423 The MLB regular season used to be the only one that mattered of the big 4 in sports. Now it’s just another pointless slog to make money. The top 5 teams in the regular season all got bounced in the playoffs, with a combined record of 1-13. And 3 of the 4 teams who earned the first round bye lost out as well.
October 25, 20231 yr comment_670536 I don't think anyone had the Diamondbacks going to the World Series, I don't see big ratings with the upcoming series with the Rangers

November 2, 20231 yr comment_672079 Many said this World Series was going to suck and it didn't disappoint, Diamondbacks have the makings of a good to great team but they were way over matched this time around
November 8, 20231 yr comment_673070 So apparently the fish bowl is getting a new name unless they're adding "powered by Rogers" to the park name I'll miss calling it Shaw Park It's more of a new naming rights partnership (Little Brown Jug park?) Edited November 8, 20231 yr by iHeart
