ParticipantHoffman is sh!t, and so is Schneider who just let him blow the game. After 2 got on, the hook should have come out. Hoffman needs to be dealt for a broken bat and some used chewing tobacco.

ParticipantThey might have one in Varland
Definitely don’t have one in Hoffman.

ParticipantNice comeback tonight. Down 5 and end up winning 6 – 5. They’re now in a Wildcard spot and at .500. Lots of runway to catch up some more.

ParticipantGet through the injury issues and a lot of teams ahead of them will start to sweat. Bieber will be of help, when he finally gets over his injury problems. Someone needs to send pork chops to Vladdy to get him motivated.
With Vlad, I would never say its about motivation. He comes off to me as the most give a shit player on the team.
Its probably more decision based , plate discipline and he is chasing more, making more contact but its leading to less power.https://x.com/JoshuaHowsam/status/2060364388876312911?s=20
weird this comes up almost every season for him. in 2021 his best season he has the lowest chase contact. so yeah

ParticipantDo the Jays have an elite closer that they can rely on to win Game 7 of the World Series with a 1 run lead in the 9th inning vs the 9th batter yet?
No?
Fantastic.
They might have one in Varland

ParticipantGlad the Jays are winning more now, but 2-1 wins are not sustainable. Still need to get more offence going.
Currently in a wild card spot.the CBA talks are starting, could get ugly.

ParticipantBo went 0-3 with a walk last night.
Saving 80 million in Free agents that are far far far underperforming allows them to add better players at the TDL.

ParticipantBo would have been playing 3b if they re-sign him and not Okamoto, or maybe some 2b?
doesnt matter. Even Okamoto with his questioned defense when he signed has looked really good and has a much better dwar at 3b than Bo.in no universe would having Bo right now have improved the Jays in the W column.
So far a colossal disaster of a signing for the Mets
Nobody said to not sign Okamoto. The decision was never one or the other. To build is to retain + add more. The Jays have had a lot of players play all over the line-up because they have guys like Clement that can play pretty much anywhere, even off the bench or LF if you needed him to.
Clement has played 55 games at 2B, Sosa 28 games at 2B, Pinango has played in 26 games, Schneider 38 games, Straw 46 games, Jimenez 12 games at DH…
In the universe where Bo gets back to his usual self, yes, he would be playing better in TO and the Jays would be better. Same could be said with the addition of Tucker. Over the full 162 game season, the odds are that Bo + Tucker are better than their replacements. Their career stats prove it.
It hasn’t worked in New York but what he was doing in Toronto worked both for him and the team. It was expensive but Rogers has money, that shouldn’t have mattered. The Jays saving 80 million won’t win them the World Series. The team they had last year was minor improvements away from winning a World Series. Now, they look lucky if they make it as a Wild Card team. If your argument is that it’s still early in the season and the Jays can turn it around, so can Bo and Tucker so that point is worthless.
