I edited the last post cos I got the count the wrong way round 😔

It was insane. I watched the whole game. I didn’t realise it was that unbalanced, but it was so inconsistent - there were pitches he called ne innings as strikes he then didn’t the next. Worst bit was when Schneider was at bat, he was 3-0 count, the next 2 pitches missed substantially high but...

Pleased to see this done, all be it years after it probably could/should have been. Now to build around him, preferably starting with Bichette.

That’s one of the major carrots I’d be dangling at Marner to get him to re-sign.

I’d agree, they should have been going all out to sign both and build around them for X years. I also agree the cost of Vlad currently is wrong. And I also think Bo will be a more valuable all round player for longer. So basically the issue is not having got the deals done for both before...

On another note, have The Athletic not bothered to gt a new Jays reporter? I was never a huge fan of Kaitlin McGrath's style, but at least she put out regular material and interviews etc

There's definitely issues and it's very early days, but I think they've looked slightly better than I was anticipating. They're watchable.

I've only just caught up on extended highlights of the games on the latest west coast swing. Once again I come away thinking the Leafs would be making one of the biggest mistakes in franchise history not to find a way to retaining Marner. I think they've already made a huge mistake not having...

The home run jacket is back. I’m all for that.

This is what I was getting at. You have to look at what the roster you have has and use its strengths. It just feels likes it’s been, as I think you’re alluding to, too rigid in saying this is the way we’re going to play. I think again this is summing it up well. There 100% had to be a change...

I don’t think the coaching change has worked. Not cos I don’t think Keefe’s time was up. I think that was a fair enough assessment. But while I get the logic of why they went for Berube, I’m not sure this roster is able/willing/built to react to that kind of coaching.

I might wake up a bit early to watch the final period 😂

Ok. Tear it up. Fire sale. Start again.

On a serious note, they have looked a bit more promising than I was anticipating, and I’m a bit more optimistic than I was at the tail end of last season. But it’s a big season that could define the next few years for the team. AL East is going to be mad

So, opening day. I definitely plan to tune in. I’d they win I have them favourites for the World Series. If they lose I will expect a fire sale and won’t tune in again til 2029.

I think the Leafs will put up a BIT of a fight

That’s to placate everyone for not getting the Vlad deal done.

Laughton’s lack of celebration said a lot there I feel

Should probably let Marner walk at the end of the season

Should’ve thrown the hit on Saros when he came out there for the old school poops and giggles. Disappointing from Holmberg
