Marner has a whole 4 assist in 5 games for $12m.
I see the sexist pedo is still whining about missing him too.What an absolute loser.
No, a normal person would acknowledge he played great with the Jays and they were a better team by keeping him while still adding other pieces to keep competing with the best.
Your bullshit argument about “value” means fucking nothing because moneyball isn’t going to win a World Series and Rogers isn’t going to give you the “savings”. The Dodgers didn’t say “we can only sign Tucker if we slash salary”. Bo provided plenty of value when he crushed a homer in Game 7 on one knee and over the long haul he will find his stride again. The price should not matter when it comes to talking about winning a World Series.[/quote]
My gawd, you are so clueless.
If Jays had wasted $42m on an often injured Bo, they wouldnt have had money for other areas. Its a business, its always about money.Go whine somewhere else.
Friedman, predicting a combination of Sundin and Chayka to run the Maple Leafs depending on Sundin’s decision.
I can feel some pain coming to Leafs Nation.
Complete garbage if true, but I think its just clickbait bs.
Go with Scott White…at least he comes from a winning organization.
The Toronto Maple Leafs, according to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, appear to be on the verge of hiring former Leaf and Hall-of-Famer Mats Sundin and[See the full post at: Sundin/Chayka Combo Has Inside Track]
Absolute garbage if true.
But I think its just click bait on social media.
Im sure Bo will turn it around but he is still not worth $42m per.
But not surprise the resident sexist pedo is still whining about it.Jays only have so much money to spend. For $43m, Jays were able to sign Oka, Cease and resign Daulton
They simply arent going to spend $285m to $300m every year.For now $265m is respectable.
Hoffman had a pretty good playoffs….just one bad pitch.
But he’s been horrible this season and has now been moved to lower leverage situations which is good.move your feet a few inches and that may help. Baseball is weird like that
One interesting thing about Kazuma Okamoto, who’s been hitting the ball a lot better over the last week … last weekend in Arizona, he moved six inches further back in the box, where he’s remained since.
Helps him see the ball and keep the bat in the zone a little longer.
Whatever he’s done, keep it going.Bichette and mets having a rough go. lol
leafs can play musical chairs with management and coaching all they want, but the rot starts at the top with mlse and pelley. after this debacle of a season, the questions need to be directed at the top. run it back, run it back, run it back, run it back, throw away money, hand out no trade clauses like candy, buy high sell low, scapegoating then trading marner for gimps and peanuts. thats not on berube or his assistants or the players. thats on ownership for letting this shit happen while they stack profits on a system optimized to make losing profitable. its a goddamm shitshow at the top. at this rate, i wont live long enough to witness the leafs finally win a cup or even make it to the semis. jesus fucking christ, are we supposed to cheer for ottawa or edmonton? i don’t know. just wanted to yell about it.
Pelley hasn’t been here for most of the above but he doesnt exude confidence in knowing what he is doing. Time will tell.
Ya previous managements have really screwed teh team but so have the current players.
Marner and Matthews have proven to not be players you build a team around, but no one knew that 9 years ago. The biggest error was having half the cap in 4 soft forwards and then of course the cap not rising as expected. Matthews and Marner should not have been giving cap hits over $10m for their first extension…they simply hadn’t earned it.
But when you print money cause the fans go no matter what, you dont have to pay attention to details, you can throw money around expecting it to fix things. Fans gotta stop going. I did years ago, I’ve completely lost interest in this team, they’ve been a joke for half a century.
Hopefully things change…..I’ve said for years on the old site and this one, you simply cannot “go for it” every year. You cannot trade away first rounders like they are nothing. Which the leafs have. The only good 1st rounder trades (trading away) the leafs have made in the past decade or so was for Muzzin, the one for Mccabe and Lafferty.But no screw ottawa….never cheer for them
Edmonton is my 2nd fav team, so I do cheer for them.Great game by Edmonton, of course, Kapanen with 2 goals. Too shit for Toronto though.
Anaheim is going to be dangerous one day but they play too loose vs a team like Edmonton. Coach Q will fix it. Another guy who the Leafs can’t hire, of course.
I knew after Kap finally had a good playoff game that someone would post some stupidity about Toronto letting him go 6 YEARS AGO!!
Nevermind Pitts and St louisYa the Leafs have really missed his 14 to 30 pts every year since.
Kap had a good game, good for him.the jays are 22 games into the Season, thats the equivalent of 11 games for the Leafs season, so if it were the leafs I would think its also pretty early in the season.
The bullpen isnt shit…if you pay attention to more than the jays
Some Bullpen stats
K/9 Jays are 4th 10.20
ERA 22nd
xERA 11th
FIP 12th
xFIP #1 3.14 (very good)
WAR 12thwhen the FIP is much lower than ERA thats a good sign things are going to get better and even out.
I hadnt look at the stats yet and thats encouraging.Varland has been wicked
Varland, Fisher and Rogers have a combined era of like .50 in 34 inningsVarland is awesome. Great trade.
Ya the bullpen looks really good, the hoff is unreliable at times.Only April, still early.
The hitting really has to improve though.
