Play Clement, Schneider and even Barger majority of games.
These are kids who bring passion and desire to the field .

any chance that the blue Jays would trade Guerrero ? why not trade ? or release Kirk ? on route for a new record of less than 5 runs per game now at 15 and record is 20 need a new GM/manager perhaps as well as this team is no longer exciting to watch Considering the hype for this group its hard to see them even living up to it together. I would say its time to make that call on Vladdy while there's still some trade value there. I just can't see him being a consistent MVP candidate. The talent is there but the full package just is not. And its time to sign him or move him.

Vladdy is better then what he is showing....but he is not a great hitter..he is a good hitter when he is on.
He doesn't have Hernandez, Gurriel, Simeon around him anymore....he is not someone who can be THE player.
Has he had a great season since the Covid season where they played out of Buffalo?
Again, he is a good player....a good 1st baseman....but he is not a great player.
Is he underperforming because he is unhappy? Unhappy due to no contract extension as of yet?
I would really try to extend Bo soon....that's just me.
He may be struggling....but he battles every at bat....a great opposite field hitter...and pretty good SS.

For me, it seems as though this roster lacks "attitude". Like a Bautista...Donaldson.....many other current MLB players have.... .it seems as these guys prefer to dance and do the "Royal Family Wave' whenever they get a hit then actually put fourth a solid effort and play with passion....play to win.... Didn't they get rid of the jacket and other antics last season, tone it down more and yet have worse results? I don't find any of these conversations around having the right attitude to be particularly compelling as reason why players are successful or not. At the end of the day players have different personalities. Bo is an extremely quiet personality who looked like a superstar for a period of time but is struggling now. Manoah is a fierce competitor who seems to have lost something whether it's mechanics, mental health struggles or something else. Vladdy is a loud and bubbly personality who is unfortunately a victim of fans and media expectations. He has all the metrics that tell you a breakout is coming but it justnt happened. It annoys everyone I guess that he smiles sometimes and isn't batting well enough to justify it. I find that type of talk kind of silly. There's times when you can see he is frustrated. Varsho is a relatively quite and calm guy who sucked at the plate last year but has been impactful this year. At the end of the day they are humans who have unique personalities and I don't think there is any right answer to how a good player should be. We could find countless examples of different attitudes amongst star players. I cade way more about actual results than whether a player is smiling too much or doing a dance or whatever as long as they aren't a terrible human being the rest doesn't matter to me. I think some of this is just stems from the social media age where everyone has to have some hot take on why things are going wrong. Sometimes guys just don't pan out.

Gausman pitched great and Kirk was magnificent plus the Springer catch in the 9th was priceless

If they keep playing around .500 or below it will happen sooner rather than later.

They already cleaned the house. Put in some new seats. Generating more revenue. They're evaluating Shapiro more for his interior decorating suggestions more then his baseball ones or else he'd already be unemployed. Rogers doesn't give a fuck about how that team performs as long as they're getting people paying to watch them. Do we want to keep ignoring how this piece of shit treated Alex Anthopolous, one of the brightest minds in all of MLB, back in 2015? This is just karma for ownership at this point. Its easily been 15 years since I was less interested in what the Jays were up to. Remember when they were having too much fun? Once the fun stopped, so did Vladdy, and so did any successful rebuild. And as long as Shapiro and Atkins are running things its starting to be one of those "for every day you let them fuck this up is 2 days it will take to fix it"

How is this group still running it out there game after game?
Fire someone.
Trade someone.
Blow it up before this thing completely bottoms out.
At least bring up someone who isn't Manoah to try and ignite a spark. Bench someone. Do something.
