General 2016 Blue Jays discussion thread

[G-Snarls]

Kendall Graveman starting today

 

Didn't realize he had made the A's starting rotation. Or was even 100% healthy.

And can cheer against division rivals

See silver linings, lol.

[Krylian]

Meh, a day of rest for the boys, and there's plenty of games on all day.

 

Day of rest is good. Maybe we can actually see Storen is he's needed now.

It bugs me to an irrational extent that they actually didn't use him because he had WARMED UP the day before.

 

Talk about wearing dresses.

[KingKat]

Is it time to start up a dubious, reactionary Storen conspiracy theory? Velocity down. Availability limited. Damaged goods?

Also they named Osuna closer.

 

The evidence is mounting that Drew Storen is pitching injured and everybody knows it.

 

lol

[gbill2004]

What's Storen's velocity been at so far?

[Laika]

What's Storen's velocity been at so far?

 

He was down like ~2mph in his first game, vs. 2015. 92 instead of 94.

 

He's done

I read his velocity was way up this spring too.

When did you get so trollish

Very interesting. I just checked his Fangraphs page and his fastball velocity in 2015 was 94.1 and this year it's 91.7.

 

Is Storen injured? Damaged goods?

Was the reason?

 

Most likely Gibbons just not trusting the guy, like Lowe, Hendriks. He seems to gravitate to certain players for some reason.

And he trusts Leon??? Must have soft gums.

No kidding. I'm not going to trust my proven guys, let's see what this fringe minor leaguer will do in this tight game that we should win.

Hahahaha...

Tremendous players both of them.

My godfather. Fernandez' son and I are very close.

Well, they didn't want to see Biagini unless it's for long-relief I guess.. plus they wanted to see if Leon was worth keeping a roster spot, which after that outing, proved that he isn't deserving of one. But Gibbons made a mistake to put him in after Floyd--should've had him go after Happ was taken out.

Leon suxx after 2 hitters? - NO.

 

The error was the situation-moment, not the performance.

Leon should have never been brought in but nonetheless he was terrible. IIRC, he only had three pitches in the zone one was a hanger one was hard hit and one was a HR. Like I said Leon should never have been brought in in that situation but he still isn't a good pitcher.

The situation was bad.

Leon was also bad.

You're angry because he destroyed the whole Canadian team with his fists. ---->

[RealAccountant]

^ See Rogers doenst make money on Jays advertising. They have to give it away for free lmao to justify the hockey

[Stangstag]

Exactly. But I don't think it was Storen's decision, probably the coaching staff/Gibby

[Stangstag]

 

Seems like Rogers is a very poorly run company. Its like half the executives have no idea what they're doing.
