@donguriweb Baseball is on the rise right now in America/Canada.
It was previously falling out of favour but has been resurgent in the last 3 or 4 years.
@bballdad44745@TheWARmonger_ they were something like 95, 95, and 80.
but those probabilities don't care about the wall. they only care how likely an MLB outfielder would be to cover that much ground in that much time.
so it's not a perfect representation of how awesome this was.
@MikeMat45062769@StlllWest He was not dominant at any point. he's a slightly above league average hitter and slightly above league average defender.
and he can't hit lefties, just like the other 3 lefty outfielders we already have. I think Lukes is a useful player, but he's redundant on this roster.
@StlllWest Don’t give up on him. He was dominant all of last year. I would actually move him to the leadoff spot. I think he would have tremendous success in that spot and can return to an All-Star dominant player.
@StlllWest I'd rather Fitzgerald or even Eloy over Kasevich. Both those guys have proven they can hit in MLB, and Eloy looks great right now and Fitz speed and versatility would fit the team very well.
How many of these 1B will Ben Rice be considered better than by the end of 2026?
Nick Kurtz
Bryce Harper
Freddie Freeman
Pete Alonso
Rafael Devers
Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
Michael Busch
Matt Olson
@KeeganMatheson Until Schneider creates everyday stability in the lineup, offence like this will become the norm. Guys can't flip-flop in the lineup everyday. That doesn't let them get comfortable offensively.
John Schneider after the #BlueJays were swept by the White Sox in Chicago:
“We’ve got to get back to playing our baseball. It doesn’t matter who you’re playing, where you’re playing or what time you’re playing them, if you don’t play your baseball, good things don’t happen.”
@TalksToPeople Varsho gets a pass for these when we've been watching him save endless runs for multiple seasons.
you'd be hard pressed to find like 2 or 3 more of these from varsho in all his time playing for us.
@Arbookla@KeeganMatheson No one said he has it. he clearly doesn't right now. you are moving the goalposts. I was responding to the numpties saying the Jays should just send him out of the org for no reason when he has options remaining.
@EricL77@KeeganMatheson Why are you the gatekeeper on knowing ball, though? Jays tied the Yanks last year so every game matters. Losses in April hurt just as much as losses in September. People who know ball as you claim, also know when a player has it or doesn't have it. Your defense of Littlw is odd.
Brendon Little is still in control of how this season goes (and ends) for himself. I think working on his issues in Triple-A, away from the day-to-day expectations of the big leagues, could be really beneficial here.
He's surely felt that enough lately. Lots of time for him now.
@EricL77@JohnnyGiunta_@JoshuaHowsam 28th out of 30 teams in runners left stranded. A lot of our big dogs have sub .200 averages. Ik it's only early but the offense deserves the criticism it's getting
@Arbookla@KeeganMatheson people who know ball know that it's a long season and things change and there are many ups and downs.
if you think it's time to release a guy because of games, especially a guy who has had the success of Little, you don't know ball.
Brendon Little has been optioned to AAA.
Lazaro Estrada, as well.
Joe Mantiply and Austin Voth added to the roster.
Cody Ponce & Anthony Santander transferred to the 60-day IL.
@julio_guer48746@lucas88a88@KeeganMatheson You guys all sound like people who started watching the Bluejays 6 months ago.
He was one of the best relievers in baseball for like 3 months at the start of last season.
The Jays aren't giving up on him when he has options remaining.
