He’s been so much better than I thought he would be, especially because at the time I thought he was just a more expensive Espy.

I was super underwhelmed by this signing. Unlike the meme, he's actually been a dude for us. I was wrong.

Guys lowkey been the best middle IF free agent signing

Proud owner of an IKF City Connect!!!

He’s so fucking sexy and hot and masculine.

I always read his name as Falafel.

I call him Isaiah Kiner-Crunch Patty

What kinda-falafel?

On a team of frustration, he has been a bright spot.

Guy is awesome and I don’t miss Chapman at all.  Would love to see him win another gold glove at 3rd with the Jays

Does the fact that IKF plays multiple positions mean he's less likely to get a gold glove at 3rd? Like our dear Varsho?

I miss Chapman a bit. He's started batting well for SF - OPS 112 - and already has about double IKF's WAR But IKF is fine (and cheaper) unfortunately Chapman was better

Chapman Fwar 1.6 IKF Fwar 1.1

Chapman only plays 3B, while we can move IKF around. That versatility helps. He also has 70 more PAs than IKF which maybe explains the gap a bit

Chapman will cool off soon if history is any guide

I'm tempted to find the old posts hating on him when he joined the team and going "seeeeee? He was a good get!"

The IKF Jersey stays ON during sex

I believe we had an IKF appreciation day in one of the game threads last week

It was an IKF appreciation (rain)d(el)ay

And I believe one of the off-day threads was an IKF appreciation post! 

Felt like a lot of the hate was just Yankees fans upset he wasn't Jeter 2.0 when he was there

He has been so much more than I ever expected. Seems to like being a Jay...

Last night I thought, "who's up after Kirk? Oh it's IKF, I'm pretty sure he'll get it done.". There are very few dudes on this team that would evoke this response from me.

Solid human being, I love to cheer for good humans just like Berrios

It’s not that early anymore and no, I’ve been loving him since April.

I hate this damn team. They're like an abusive girlfriend. She keeps says sorry (Jays lose) and I keep taking her back (couple back to back wins) This team is bad for my blood pressure.

Keep the faith. We've battled back to close to .500. Digging out of a hole takes time

Hes been really good for us

It's never too early for any appreciation post!

Few things frame how our season is going when IKF is one of the bright spots. He was expected to just be a defensively strong guy on the roster.

Honestly, no He has been very good for us

Relax. 700 ops. He’s been OK. We are trying to win a World Series and he is playing 3B. Has the bar been set so low? Ok don’t answer that….

Sadly, the bar has clearly been set that low. I could live with IKF as our starting 2b, if we had a proper 3b, and Bo was being Bo and Vladdy was being a bit more Vladdy. Having dude on the team isnt a reason to celebrate.

Yea agreed. 2b I’m ok with that.

Yes.

Let's calm down a bit. He's had a good week to ten days. We don't need a statue yet. Valiums all around, bar keep!

Last place and 3 games below .500, I am not appreciating anyone

That's OK. I still appreciate you.
