Bo is back! 0-1, 2 BB, K, SB for Dunedin tonight.

[BlueRocky]

Logan Warmoth is slashing .290/.367/.427 in High-A now.

 

K-rate is a tad high, but he's walking a decent bit too. I know it's his 2nd go around in Dunedin, but it's nice to see him doing well.

 

"I like Kevin Smith. The guy's an athlete. Big, fast, talented. Clean cut. Good face. Good jaw."

 

"But can he hit?"

 

“He’s got a beautiful swing. The ball explodes off his bat. He throws the club head at the ball and when he connects he drives it.”

 

“If he’s a good hitter, why doesn’t he hit good?”

 

“He’s a minor leaguer. He’ll be ready.”

 

“So he’s gonna be a big hitter when we put him up against major league guys?”

 

*awkard pause*

 

“I like Warmoth. He’s got a classic swing. It’s a real clean stroke.”

 

“I don’t know… he can’t hit a curveball”.

 

“Well there’s some work to be done, I’ll admit that. And he’s got an ugly girlfriend.”

 

“What’s that mean?”

 

“An ugly girlfriend means no confidence, OK? I’m just saying, we are trying to replace Freddy Galvis and this guy’s girlfriend is a 6 at best.”

Warmoth is a player I would trade for a vet. If his numbers in the minors remain good, sell high.

Any chance he's actually figuring it out?

This is Part Two of a 3-part series on the Jays' farm.

Warmoth sucks. 23 years old repeating High A and striking out over 27 percent of the time.

Jordan Groshans has now moved up to 48 on BA top 100 list.

It looks like they signed two 17-year old pitchers from the Netherlands today.

 

Blue Jays snatch two youngsters away from Dutch hoofdklasse

 

Two young Dutch players signed a contract with the Toronto Blue Jays. Jiorgeny Casimiri (HCAW) and Sem Robberse (Quick Amersfoort) will join the only Canadian MLB organization.

 

Both players are pitchers. Casimiri acted as a reliever for HCAW this season. Robberse was one of three starting pitchers for Quick Amersfoort.

 

The seventeen-year-old Casimiri started his career in The Hague, where he played for ADO and Storks before he went to Curaçao Neptunus. In 2018 he debuted in the Dutch hoofdklasse with that club. For Casimiri, who is attending the CTO sports school in Amsterdam, the move to HCAW was a logical one since Bussum, where HCAW is located, is near Amsterdam. So far this season, Casimiri has a microscopic 0.77 ERA in 23.1 innings in which he posted a 1-1 record and kept his opponents limited to a .163 average.

 

Sem Robberse started to play baseball at Red Caps in Leusden (near Utrecht). After he moved to UVV and Scimitars (the baseball academy in Bussum), he landed at HCAW where he debuted in 2018. This year he jumped ships and joined Quick Amersfoort, where he has become the club’s ace. In nine starts, he posted a 6-3 record with a 1.83 ERA and keeping his opponents to a .205 batting average. Young starters like him are hard to find, so he will be dearly missed by Quick Amersfoort after this season.

 

Both players are part of team Kingdom of the Netherlands U18. Even though both players will join the Blue Jays later this month, they will be allowed to participate in the U18 World Cup.

Is this where that extra IFA slot money went? Big ticket Netherlandians.

[jays4life19]

Don't disrespect Pendleton like that.

[TheHurl]

 

 

Winnable game, team no hitter (4th pitcher in), .236 OBP hitter up. f*** the unwritten rules. This is perfectly fine!

[Laika]

Nothing wrong with getting on base in a still winnable game.

[Slade]

If that was a the starter throwing a no hitter then yea that's an dbag move but 4th pitcher in come on.

[Spanky__99]

Agreed, if they were getting destroyed I could see some animosity, but it was a combined no no in a 3 run game, f***-off. The guy's been getting death threats, so stupid.

[TheHurl]

I thought Spanky was kidding they are actually investigating death threats he received.

Yup, it was on MLB Tonight yesterday, that's just absurd.
