Blue Jays/MLB 2024

You two should have a barn fight, Brian Burke style.

I have no idea why you brought up a comparison after 3 games in the first place. As I've said, beyond stupid.
And as I actually have stated, Cashman has had about 80 million more in payroll to work with, so the expectation should be much higher. Again, beyond stupid.

By the way, since you're bringing up their current standing. Who made the playoffs last year and who finished in last place?

Answer the question, would you rather have Atkins than Cashman?

(If you answer yes I’m gonna have to question your sanity )

My answer would be neither if it was a choice,

Yup, that’s what I would say as well.

I only responded to your Turner/Soto comparison later on, was just to show you how utterly stupid it is to compare players 3 days into a 162 game schedule, and how quickly things can change, one way or the other. I still have my doubts whether you understand this or not.

The only reason I continued the comparison of Turner and Soto later on

Unfortunately, the other participant has brought a knife to the gunfight in the battle of logic. Just frustrating at times. Like trying to hit a pinata in a windstorm.

P.S. I would have coughed up pay for view if Burke and Lowe would have gone at it.

I made a reasonable extrapolation based on history and ages of the players. And the numbers are bearing that out right now.

Like I said, I don't believe you get it, so I'm moving on.

I get it, the numbers are supporting my narrative.

Holy sh**! Is Manoah actually back?
He was as impressive today as at anytime in 2022.

It sure appears that way. Still a bit of a control issue but that’s always been his issue, Would like to see more but he was impressive today.

Had a great day, but it's going to take a lot more than one start to convince me of anything substantial.

 

[Oilers333]

Atkins with a classic delusional, empty press conference. Team blows. 8th highest payroll, bottom 5 farm system. As close to the bottom of the AL as we are to the wildcard 45 games in. Scary downward trajectory.

 

[HockeyGuy1964]

He's had 2 good starts in a row. He's trending in the right direction.
Not saying he's back to 2022 form long-term but today was impressive.

 

[Stoneman89]

Yankees rack up another win today, albeit against the lowly White Sox, but still, humming along. As a Yankee fan, I've learned to enjoy these stretches but not get carried away, as unfortunately, it's a long year, and the better teams usually take control down the stretch and into the playoffs.

I was surprised they brought him back up so soon without him showing a lot more in the minors considering how bizarre everything was around him last year but he’s looked really good in all his starts. The last start where he threw 57 pitches to get through 6 innings was very impressive. We still don’t know what his issues really were last year but he does look more relaxed on the mound now then he did then so maybe he’s got that figured out.

If he's got the mental part figured out finally, then he's 90 % there. As we've all seen, he definitely has the physical tools. His sinker, slider and 4 seamer were deadly the other day and he mixed them perfectly.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

I think the Blue Jays management have out thought their way through their sliver window in the killer AL East Division. Moved away from power baseball into small ball, pitching team while watching the hitting shrink up further on this team. Now lapped by Baltimore's lengthy rebuild arriving and Yankees spending their uber money more wisely.

Felt this ESNP article a week back was on the money and look at the standing to see Jays are now 11.5 games back. What a mess this management group has made.

Real or not? It's time to panic about Astros and other MLB disappointments

These three recent playoff squads are still near the bottom of the majors six weeks in. Does this define who they are this season?
