Dylan Old-Timey Member Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Tolleson "now was that f***ing hard???"
ElNik2013 Old-Timey Member Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 LOL. If I was the owner of this franchise, I'd fire the GM after this and put the president on notice.
Gen.Disarray Old-Timey Member Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Wow, we gave up 20 hits... Wow.
Dylan Old-Timey Member Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Wow, we gave up 20 hits... Wow. 22 to be exact... and 5 walks
o2cui2i Community Moderator Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 I'd agree that Hutchison is on an innings limit. However, they're letting McGowan and Happ start over their top pitching prospect so what would be so different about moving Hutchison to the pen to start the year and let Redmond or Rogers start? I really don't see much difference between Redmond, Rogers, McGowan and Happ except that Redmond has been a bit more successful than the other 3 over the last year or so. I really wish there was a method to their stupidity, but I can't find it. They're babying Stroman who pitched close to 140 innings last season, but they aren't babying a guy who pitched around 60 innings in 2013 while coming back from TJS. I agree... but that is their reasoning, whether it makes sense or not. Blame AA and his internal solutions program. it's like giving a job to your retarded half cousin just because he's related and will work for next to nothing, but you have to keep him away from your sheep.
ElNik2013 Old-Timey Member Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 President should be first to go. AA might be able to be salvaged under proper guidance. I have no problem firing Beeston first and letting the new president hire the new GM, but you've gotta save $ somewhere and I figure Beeston makes more than AA. Ideally, clean house.
closetjaysfan Verified Member Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 How did Stroman look tonight? First couple pitches looked ok, but then his fastball flattened out and his junk stopped bending and started hanging. In short it was a poor performance (same could be said for everyone that pitched tonight).
Dylan Old-Timey Member Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Love seeing that hustle by lawrie, even if its a 15-3 game
baubau Verified Member Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Thole still looking pretty good overall.
Orgfiller Old-Timey Member Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 It's official, Thole has sold his soul to the BABIP Gods.
closetjaysfan Verified Member Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Thole sure makes the best out of his limited ab
ElNik2013 Old-Timey Member Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 I'm sure tomorrow will be a Happier game for Blue Jays fans.
o2cui2i Community Moderator Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 We are in serious trouble if Kevin Pillar is considered our best position prospect above A-Ball lol. Pillar was brought up because Gose hadn't been down for 10 days. If it had come 1 day later it would have been Gose.... just sayin
jaysfan2014 Old-Timey Member Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Well, that was ugly. BTW, that was Tolleson's 5th career pitching appearance (4 minors, 1 MLB). I expect Stroman and Wagner to be optioned after this game for fresh arms. Stroman needs to go back to starting in AAA, as he's not MLB ready yet.
gruber92 Old-Timey Member Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 We are in serious trouble if Kevin Pillar is considered our best position prospect above A-Ball lol. Have no fear, Dwight Smith Jr and Dalton Pompey are near.

Stroman is an absolute alpha and sees himself as a starter. being brought up to the pen is beneath him in his mind and he is trying too hard to prove he's a starter. The problem is mental and should sort itself out.
ElNik2013 Old-Timey Member Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 So the Jays have increased their analytics department from 1 to 2: http://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/analytics-becoming-increasingly-important-for-jays/ Maybe it's this JFaS character, haven't seen him post in a bit.
GD Old-Timey Member Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Baseball operations analyst Jason Pare came over from the Cleveland Indians to serve as the No. 2 guy to baseball information analyst Joe Sheehan, responsible for doing “whatever comes up,” in the words of the general manager. Ladies and gentlemen, your Toronto Blue Jays. No, but JFaS is not Jason Pare. Beyond an assessment of the catcher’s numbers at the plate, their internal data suggested the quality of his contact made it likely that his offensive performance in 2013 wasn’t a fluke. So far, that appears to be bang on. Lol @ sub 80 wRC+ Eh, it's a start.

ElNik2013 Old-Timey Member Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 So another article where AA looks like a bigger fool, maybe the Gomes trade is the reason he hired Jason Pare away from the Indians: http://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/gomes-not-the-same-player-jays-traded-away/
GD Old-Timey Member Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 His offense wasn't a fluke. But 2/8 was an overpay. #despaired
Bunchedundies Verified Member Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 f*** this front office and their 2 analytics guys sitting in the basement playing MLB 14 the show on PS4. Not getting more pitching this offseason = throwing it away,
