[dineke]

Likely soon--McGowan's due back within a week or two(depending on the rehab), Santos will likely be back soon as well.

McGowan is a write off

[digiblader]

With a 0.98 ERA in AA, he should be up here.. he'd be an upgrade over Rogers.

[Atothe]

Rogers should be replaced with Carreno

[Tuco]

What is Carreno's K/9 again?

 

something utterly stupid

[Atothe]

s***ing the bed folks

[magits]

Ahh no JP is a HORRIBLE defensive catcher. Even his biggest fan Greg Zaun has started to call him out on it because he could take no more biased defending of the guy.

 

Middle of the pack pitch framing wise?

 

Pitch framing was bad in 2011. More recent numbers from fangraphs have him about middle of the pack...and I don't care what Zaun says.

[Metallijay]

Esmil rogers is terrible.

[Dylan]

I can't stand rogers... another terrible trade by AA

[cesarb182]

lol rogers sucks so much that he possibly could blow a 8 run lead

[Metallijay]

JP is horrendous.

[Rajaifailedgrade1]

Get this trash out of the game, does this guy ever pitch a clean inning?

 

Hes so god damn bad

[Dylan]

hahahahahaha

 

jays cant have an easy win.

 

Release this trash!

[dineke]

God why did AA trade a 2 war shortstop for Esmil f***ing rogers?

[G-Snarls]

Rogers is really really terrible

[Shogun89]

This bum better not let them get back into it.

[cesarb182]

LOL rogers

[Tuco]

Pitch framing was bad in 2011. More recent numbers from fangraphs have him about middle of the pack...and I don't care what Zaun says.

 

And where does JP rank overall defensively on fangraphs?

[Atothe]

Only rogers can ruin a blowout

[Rajaifailedgrade1]

LOL We can't even trust this guy with a 8 run lead

[magits]

I really only care about the numbers. JP was s*** defensively in 2011, which is where he got the bad rap. Both BBall reference and fangraphs have him much better for 2012 and 2013 so far. Still not a great defensive catcher, but probably around average.

 

Pitch framing data shows he's about average too.

[G-Snarls]

Please Cecil no more than 1 run in here.

[cesarb182]

And i was thinking that today would be the day that we don't get worried by any time in the game, oh well

[o2cui2i]

after this game, bonifacio will want to where his pink thong every game and not just for mothers day.

[digiblader]

15.2 K/9IP.

 

And with Rogers stinking it up, you could see Carreno here sooner than later.. Rogers just probably earned a DFA after this outing.

[Rajaifailedgrade1]

Seriously this should be the end for Rogers...

 

Sick and tired of this trash pitcher, who they say "Has a great arm"

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Classic AA trade right there.

 

Trade useful piece for awful reliever.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

But he had 20 pretty good innings on a terrible team in a terrible division!

[Dylan]

another blown play by kawasaki

[EdelweissBouquet]

Will we ever breeze through a game and win with no drama or pressure ?
