Jays just clinched first in the al… I don’t give a **** about the raptors right now.

I’m happy about that too, but their bullpen is weak. Their rotation is okay. It’s baseball so anything could happen though. They’re a clutch team. It would be awesome to see them win it all.

Brandon sounds like he'll add some leadership. I love that he brought up his defensive responsibilities.

Point is I’m glad we actually have a successful jays team right now because it’s kept my mind off of having to wait for raptors to start.

Our bullpen definitely isn't weak. It's been really good for most of the season, we had a pretty bad stretch recently but have found our mojo again.

I don't trust Hoffman though. Can definitely see him blowing a couple games.


I just hope Bo comes back... but it doesn't sound like he will. :(

their bullpen had a shaky August but outside of Hoffman, they have been reliable i would say for the most part.

with Berrios going to the pen, this should be make the pen even better, technically speaking.

Jays offense needs to do their magic if they want to do some damage in these playoffs. we saw 2 teams in the last 2 weeks of the season, one that could not score any runs and gave the Yankees a glimmer of hope to win the AL East. and the other team that did their damage and left no doubt on the table.

Jays certainly need more out of Vladdy in terms offensive output to setup the rest of the lineup.

Adding the green font to the Summaries was a good choice. I think Bruce didn't say or do anything disrespectful about Toronto.

You can't possibly blame him for wanting to reunite with Jokic. A good season in Denver riding Jokic, and he'll get paid again. Heck, he might even get another ring in the process.

Grady dick grew 2 inches this off season

He's now 6'8

Gonna be harder to move him at that height, expect more better game with advantage cause of the height

Because it's the offseason and players always grow 2 inches and add 10-20 pounds. Particularly for the lol's because Dick.

I also don't know where this is coming from, or who said he grew 2 inches. I don't believe it, though, at least until something is confirmed.

Yea I don’t believe it either. He said in his interview with Samson Folk that he’s 6’7 so yea it’s a lie

I am not expecting too much from the first preseason game,
But it will be interesting to see the minutes distribution on the guys roster spot six and beyond off the bench.

Hes always been 6'7-6'8. That was just an attempt at being funny by whoever started it.
