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.
Jays making adjustments, its paying off. Need to string wins together.
Cease today and Yesavage Tues.Go Jays!
Chayka? thats a big Meh for me. his track record is pretty pedestrian. He did take big swings, but very mixed results.
Latest from Friedman: John Chayka and Scott White are the finalists for a “head of hockey operations” role with the Leafs
all the hockeybuzz leafs blogs are partially or completely written by AI. there is a site called quillbot where you can paste text or images to see if they are AI-generated or altered. the leafs blogs posted recently are AI. the blogger is using the AI to do the research work (on gm candidates for example) and then putting it together in a blog. if I want to read what some AI wrote, I’d just ask the AI myself and skip the lazy-writer middleman. i mean seriously, a hockey blog is a thousand words, give or take. for all we know “jay on the leafs” is just eklund using AI and a spellchecker.
so uggie told me to come here and here i am. is this where everyone from hockeybuzz is now?
i just went back to buzz and looked at the new leafs blog. it’s all human written. dude made a liar out of me. we’ll see how long he can go without resorting to it again.
is this site always this damn slow? it takes forever for pages to change or comments to load.
this is where its mainly just UG posting his manifesto and daily complaints about everything and the occasional other poster chimes in
and yes, site is crap..slow, feels like it was built in html in 2003.
Jays showing sign of Life, good to see.
Varland trade looking quite good, gave up 2 players who are in the minors doing not much. Jays have 2 more years after this one of Arb.Varland 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.the Jays Bullpen stats are being dragged down by Little who is gone now. and to a lesser extent Hoffman.
Biggest issue so far is Bats. Team ops+ of 95, last season was 108
LAD are currently 148 lol..insane. 115 is generally top of the leagueAnd with all that fancy stats, still lost 7 of 13 losses.
Hoffman absolutely sucks balls as a closer when it matters. Cost them a World Series and needs to be replaced ASAP.
those are pretty basic stats for 2026. I guess maybe not for everyone
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 inningsAnd none of that will matter when the bullpen and the closer blow every tight game or great start.
Jays are worse now than they were last year at this point. But sure, they’ll win 65% of the rest of their games and their bullpen will blow game 7 again in the 9th inning to the Dodgers again.
lol you are the most miserable human. like just insufferable.
no wonder you fall for every rage algorithm. just loves the misery. cant function without it
