The 2025 Toronto Blue Jays
- Thread starter Toronto Passions
- Start date
On the podcast Foul Territory, they were talking about how his guilty traceable withdrawal amounts from the gambling earnings were like $15,000. This risk was compared to the multi million dollar contract, of the best closer in the game on his MLB contract.
What on earth was this guy thinking?

What was he thinking, he wasn't.
This is why the New York Schmetz are a powerhouse in Tel Aviv.

The only reasonable explanation is if he was deep in debt to a bookie, and they offered to forgive the debt if he did what they asked.
That's a very good point. The sad part is baseball has lost a very good closer. This is a mess. Hopefully, by way of some miracle, he can bounce back from this bad press and end up as a Blue Jay… But then nobody will ever believe his pitch selection is authentic ever again. This whole ordeal definitely makes you wonder about his really bad outings in last year's postseason. Was he betting against himself? Who knows anymore.

So who's dumber Emmanuel Clase or Sydney Sweeney?
Clase couldn't control his vice and got caught. Sweeney proclaimed her right wing values, she cast her lot with MAGA Incels. Effectively destroying her career.

He threw too many sliders. I told my father three years ago that his elbow is going to be messed up. Even in his good season of 2022 I remember him throwing a slider and doing some kind of an arm twitch. To my naked eye that indicated an elbow issue that will eventually flare up. I think what happened now is that his velocity has been affected with his rehab and then of course there's the fitness aspect and staying in shape. We haven't seen much of him so I don't really know what kind of shape he is in. But I do recall him looking winded with the pitch clock. Today's game is full of number crunching and tracking of stats. i'm sure they see something that they don't like. Not to mention, nobody likes his attitude problem. Not reporting to his second send down assignment must've really affected the way other organizations view him.
with all the ridiculous tracking of stats in today's game… One thing will never change about pitching in baseball. If you throw too many sliders, your elbow will get messed up eventually.
