ST GDT - Toronto Blue Jays @ Minnesota Twins - Happ vs. Corria - 1:05 PM ET

[bowld]

Happ performing like s*** in the spring is the best thing that can happen for the team.

 

Guess its better to do it now rather than wait until next month to blow up when it counts

[G-Snarls]

You don't need your 4/5 guys to be killer. But you don't want guys who give away every other game.

[G-Snarls]

It sort of is.

 

f*** maybe we should just sign Santana. He's likely to better than Happ isn't he??

[G-Snarls]

My phone always wants to autocorrect when I type "Happ". I have the ability to add it to my dictionary so that it will stop, but I refuse to do so. LOL

[Horses Fart]

Get use to what your watching. It's going to be a regular occurrence coming out of the 1st down 4-0. Book it!!!

[Sorrow]

If we could get Drew and Santana on 1-2 year deals do so. We need the starting depth this year and we need anything better at 2B.

[S33n]

I wish they would have left Happ in to get lit up real bad

[BlueJayWay]

Bingo.

[flafson]

It sort of is.

Thing is, it's one thing to fill the hole from within but it's another to fill 2 holes from within and expect good results. Add to that the 70% chance that Morrow will go down and we are screwed badly.

[sdyment]

Really like what I've seen from Navarro's approach at the plate so far...

[gruber92]

It sort of is.

Man i hope Redmond continues to get shelled also. With no options left, AA may feel inclined to give Redmond a spot. Talent wise, Stroman and Hutch should fill the 4 and 5 spots.

[G-Snarls]

[Rotator]

Happ performing like s*** in the spring is the best thing that can happen for the team.

 

i agree with this sentiment. hope he keeps sucking so that they can't bring him north with the team.

[jaysfan2014]

Wonder what the Jays will do with Happ after this "Happ"less start.. they can't hand him a rotation spot when he's getting shelled like this.

[over500]

So, Happ pitched like Happ I see

[flafson]

He pitched like Romero actually.

[flafson]

Looks like we found our new #4.

LOL great meme

 

Sorry. I hate when people do what I just did too.

 

I'm feeling heavily despaired, that's all. LOL

[G-Snarls]

The problem is what happens when A) people get hurt, Stroman and Hutch reach inning caps, and/or C) Stroman and/or Hutch are ineffective. If Redmond is DFA'd, the dept looks like Rogers and Happ (possible 1-win talent), likely replacement-level trash with a bit of upside (McGowan and Nolin) and certain replacement-level trash (Drabek, Jenkins, McGuire, Rasmusen, Romero etc...).

 

The goal should be to give as few starts as possible to guys like Nolin and McGowan, and not use that last group at all. Stroman and Hutch in the rotation to start the year seriously strains the team's depth.

 

Yep. Santana is worth signing. mitigates against disaster. Just do it.

[jaysfan2014]

Well, Korecky gets us out of a jam there.. but what a mess Happ left! Something has to be mentally or physically wrong with Happ, considering his control was all over the place.

In short. We need all the pieces; we don't need to DFA anyone right now.

[jaysfan2014]

Might as well.. Santana still isn't signed yet, as most teams are out of money and can't afford to make anymore big signings. Ditto for Stephen Drew.

[Sorrow]

McGowan in next inning?

 

Looks like it. He was warming.

[John_Havok]

Wonder what the Jays will do with Happ after this "Happ"less start.. they can't hand him a rotation spot when he's getting shelled like this.

 

first two outings mean jack all. If he's still doing this in 2 or 3 weeks, they'll start caring.

[jaysfan2014]

Here comes McGowan..

[John_Havok]

Anyone else captivated by the epic battle between Gose and Pillar for the 4th OF spot?

 

The contrast in the hit tool is quite evident. Pillar can make contact with anything, and as a result swings at stuff he shouldn't be, fouling off balls that are outside the strike zone.

 

Gose is the opposite, knows he can't contact as well so tries to be patient, but is inconsistent with it and ends up making weak contact in play on pitches that he just took for a ball twice

[Sorrow]

My biggest issue with Gose is looking back on that year in AA, 20+ hrs, good OBP, supposedly had phenomenal defence in CF and then he comes to AAA/MLB, can't steal, can't field, can't hit, can't throw, shows no pop, doesn't walk. It's like watching Snider all over again, but not to the extent of mismanagement.

[TheHurl]

Now McGowan is going full McGowan. Goddammit.

 

does that mean he's standing on the mound and his arm is lying on the ground half way to home plate...cause that's what I figure full McGowan to be.

[Stangstag]

McGowan not looking good. Cant hit the strike zone
