Franklin Morales will not be with the #bluejays in Houston. Hearing he's been released or DFA'd. Will create space if they acquire pitcher

 

 

 

Good Riddance

[Jonn]

He earned 2 million because he got hurt before they released him. You come in and walk a lefty on four pitches and cost us a game. Get the f*** out.

Totally useless waste of money.

[Krylian]

Good.

 

Curious who's brought in.

[Rusty_Savage]

The Danny Barnes show?

[OneManAsylum]

Yet Gibby decided to use him in a 2-2 game against a division rival...why waste Biagini in a 9-1 game yesterday?

[BlueJaysGirl]

Good.

Loup I assume, or Boone if they can trade for him. Both maybe. It'd be nice to have a plethora of lefties.

[Krylian]

The Danny Barnes show?

 

Could be. But I'm kinda hoping for an established arm for a playoff run.

Yeah I agree. Will Smith or Abad would be nice. Both lefties as well

Because he's f***ing stupid and has been doing it for years. ALWAYS puts the new s***** guy in close games.

How the f*** was Gibbons supposed to know we would play 12 innings today? Orioles are gonna beat us if it goes to extras anyways... They have a better bullpen.

[jaysguy44]

Thank god. He's awful

[gruber92]

In all fairness, he could have used Morales in yesterday's game and saved the better Biagini for today's game where on paper, a tight game was anticipated.

 

Either Gibby values Morales more or he's just dumb. Maybe both?

Obviously he couldn't know for sure, but it doesn't hurt to plan ahead. I don't think using Biagini was necessary yesterday, and he certainly would have given us a better chance today than Morales.

[RealAccountant]

Should do the same with Chavez too

 

I just don't understand why he didn't just do 2 innings with Cecil

He could have stretched Biagini for 2 innings today if he hadn't used him in a blowout the day before.

 

Plus, not sure what he had in mind letting Morales face righties. Was he expecting a different result? Might as well have started the inning with Gopher Ball Chavez and lived with the consequences. Probably would have lead to a loss anyway, but at least he's decent occasionally for the Jays so maybe there was hope he could have gotten them to another inning or two before he inevitably gave up bombs (and it would have happened eventually.....dude is John Wasdin this year).

[Pendleton]

Good riddance

Cecil will have to take a bat if he's going 2 innings.

Agreed. Morales is single-handedly responsible for losing this game and forcing Chavez to come in with runners on base and give up a 3-run HR.. Jeese is better when it's a clean inning. Considering Morales didn't impress in Buffalo during rehab, it's no surprise he's getting a DFA. After Chavez gave up that bomb, I thought "I'm outta here!" (I was at the game.)

You don't need to know the next game will be 12 innings to not be an idiot and use one of our better relievers in a 9-1 game.

 

Because he's f***ing stupid and has been doing it for years. ALWAYS puts the new s***** guy in close games.

 

This everyone knew how it would turn out except our idiot manager.

[THANOS]

Chavez better be next, consistently awful..

[bones10]

bye Felicia

[Stangstag]

I'll say it again, Orioles have a great bullpen. It would have been tough to beat them in extras.

[fatcowxlive]

I didn't mind today's loss. I am convinced if we go to extras past the 10th we lost. No proper long men in the BP. Chavez is beyond atrocious and Morales was a gamble. Literally nothing we can do there. It was short sighted of Gibbons to use Biagini yesterday but this BP is desperately missing a swingman. If I'm Atkins I'm trading Chavez for a similar arm with options, send him down and make hutch the swingman. Then we can acquire a Logan or another lockdown arm.

 

Chavez is a f***ing clown I haven't hated a guy as much as him since Francisco Cordero. Storen was just a disappointment but he lost velo, this guy is a piece of s***, any inherited runs will score + 1 on a homer before he strikes out the side. That's the worst kind, scared shitless relievers. f*** him

[Stangstag]

Chavez is usually fine when he starts an inning, but the guy can't come in and get a strikeout in a big situation to save his life. I guess the solution is to never bring him into the middle of an inning with runners on base...

[intentional wok]

I defended Chavez for a long time but he's been terrible. The guy can certainly nail down some Ks but he has given up some massive home runs this year. Outside of this week's double feature against the O's and Padres, he's also responsible for the Holt grand slam and Desmond's bomb from the brawl game. I still don't think he is genuinely this bad but he seems determined to try and change my mind.

[wamco]

How does Chavez strand rate compare to other rp ?

Chavez has been 'okay'. But not someone you want in to face the Orioles.

 

Sanchez was great too, but that damn lead off walk ended up hurting us both innings.

Yea, but at the same time, we were able to get past their best 3 arms and still be in the game, at that point I thought we were somewhat even.

[vilifyingforce]

Good. Can't wait for Tepera to come back up. :/
