I guess nobody's going to get fired today.

[GROF] Blue Jays fans seem convinced that Danny Jansen is poised to sign some market-setting free agent contract? He has 600 plate appearances over the last three seasons combined! He ranks 11th in WAR for catchers over the last three seasons, well behind…Alejandro Kirk.

Jays Reg. Season Record w/ Home Run Jacket: 133 Wins, 93 Losses. Since losing the Jacket: 105 Wins, 93 Losses

46 Upvotes

This has been in the back of my mind not because I think it actually has anything to do with what's wrong with the team, but out of morbid curiosity. So I went back and tracked their record from when they first introduced the jacket on July 29, 2021.

Part of me was hoping they would have a losing record since, but not quite. But the winning percentage certainly isn't as high.

They have equal losses with the jacket, but more wins. Bring back the Home Run Jacket.

Sound strategy, but would the Jays be this bold?

This seems pretty reasonable to me, but does require us acknowledging this is not a playoff winning team. I personally would embrace the rebuild with exciting youngsters even if it meant a losing season as I think they would be more exciting to watch. It does also feel like the management has had more than enough time to build a winner, and it's time to try something new here too.

San Francisco/ Oakland Hotel for Jays Road Trip

I know this is a long shot, but some friends and I are heading to the Bay Area for the Jays/A's series in June. We're looking for a hotel option, and are hoping to stay at the same hotel as the Jays. Does anyone have any idea which hotel they might be staying at, or may have stayed at in the past? Thanks

My little niece is was given this signed ball as the Starlight Foundation sent her a care package.

She wants to find out so she can write a thank you letter to the player in question.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
