I wish Tampa Bay never changed their name.

The Devil Rays was a great team name. And the idea that "devil" was keeping fans away has CLEARLY been bullshyt because Tampa is at the bottom of the attendance numbers every year.
only way the name can attract more fans is if they called themselves the Yankees

Agree. I do like that they seem to be embracing the old school Devil Ray's color scheme more often with their uni's.

Great start by Serverino on the Mets, 1 run, one hit :banderas: Nikka got no run support so it's only a tie game :martin:


Glad to see Sevy bounce back from his horrible season last year...

Looking at Vlad Jr's numbers so far ...Bo Bichette also sitting on the Mendoza line

Vlad jr I thought by now have an MVP or be in the running

Hate to say it but reeks of laziness and arrogance on his part that his pops was known for at times

He's also played a lackadaisical (shout out to Zion) first base.
I honestly believe he's bored of Toronto but he's not helping his case for free agency in a few years.

Vlad is such a conundrum. He clearly has an elite hitting pedigree. But, I saw some number about him about poor launch angles and just insane ground ball rates. I mean you're expecting a lot, but he doesn't have the swing/touch of his dad. I think naturally he has more power than his dad, but he sacrifices hit ability to tap into it. They aren't the Cecil and Prince comps. I think if Vlad Jr. solves his groundball problem he could probably still be a 25/30 hr guy but his doubles should jump up.

I also think some of the metrics say the Blue Jays should tear down and trade while some of their better names can fetch the best prices.

Vlad needs a change of scenery
He's fat, lazy and dumb. Bichette is way better, but needs to be on team where he's the lead

This era might be over for the Jays.

Alec Bohm is raking but it's unlikely this lasts. Could be a sell-high candidate for fantasy purposes.

Yandy Diaz probably isn't going to have a great year like 2023, but if you need a Utility player or someone to stash, he's worth it.

Taylor Ward might finally be putting together a strong season if he can remain healthy.
