General 2020 Blue Jays Discussion Thread

[Deadpool]

In regards to what, exactly?

 

Fantasy baseball, he's been playing for decades, and his leagues used to always use what were then called "advanced stats" but are now mostly the norm

[polar bear]

I'm glad you're not in charge.

Is that right,I’m devistated.

[BlueRocky]

 

Those are three really, really good hitters to get some advice from. Not just Eddy, but Ortiz & freaking Edgar Martinez. Wow.

It's good to be the son of the king...

[Orgfiller]

Look at these swings lol

 

 

Bonus unhittable fastball:

Did Rob post any Yamaguchi pitching porn?

[bones10]

Do we need to roster both Yamaguchi and Gavilio, they both serve the same purpose and Montoyo is misusing them anyways. If I was Atkins i'd take away his toys ASAP if hes content on using guys like that in close games.

Jays might have a bottom 5 offense...and all anyone seems to care about is bullpen usage on a team that everyone knew was a terrible pen

That's a much more depressing conversation, Vlad looks rough.

Noice!

I'll have to agree with the bottom five offense.

 

Vlad better start hitting like a first baseman should, no way one can carry a 1B and DH that put up putrid numbers like they are now.

???

 

Let's maybe wait for the Jays to face the Orioles or Red Sox before writing off the offense? I agree the BP conversations are too much.

[goldbug103]

Noice!

 

Vlad's at bats also look bad. His walk to strike out rate is putrid (1 walk in 6 games is terrible). He doesn't seem capable of working the count and doesn't see enough pitches. No doubles, 1 home run in 6 games. OPS < 500 for a first baseman ?? Very poor fielder, with negative defensive value and negative base running. This had better improve and fast. Drop him to 7th/8th in the batting order might help.

 

Thank goodness the Jays didn't offer him some big contract to extend him for 8+ years.

I actually feel like hes got himself into good counts to hit and than gets over anxious. Been multiple times this season alone where he got ahead in the count and starts swinging at s*** and getting himself out. He’s definitely capable of working count. Hes just not very confident hitting right now.

how about we wait a few games before jumping off a cliff.

Can we get a troll thread where people post asinine, crazy, not based in reality thoughts?

This. Jays are 3-3. All six games on the road or "road" against tough opponents. Instead of looking at the many positives that entails, it's non-stop bitching about the BP, bad management decisions, the offense in general and Guerrero in particular. You'd think the team is 0-6.

You must be new to the Internet..every forum is overly negative and full of hyperbole and nonsense. Human Nature with the Anonymity.

[Dick_Pole]

It's even more than it should be. This is 2017 start bad. I'd say even worse because at least back then the tank guys were fapping to the idea of getting the #1 pick and trading every vet, offsetting some of the woe.

[gruber92]

Citizens Bank Park in Philly is shut down until further notice as two staff members tested positive. Good luck getting our games in this weekend.

So they shut the whole park down? Lol

Since the Nats games this weekend are cancelled, might as well just have the Jays/Nats play Fri-Sat, and reduce the amount of games between the Jays/Phillies by 3.

honestly, why the f*** not. the season is a s*** show anyway. i don't see the harm in making the already unbalanced schedule even more unbalanced.

No reason both teams shouldn’t play. If this is a possibility. Both teams are already here lets do it.

That sounds eerily like Tommy John.

Good thing we have Tony Bass to play the role of muscle and f*** the opposition up.

All Tony Bass needs is for that sinker to be effective, and all of his victims will be 'sinking' to the bottom of the ocean to sleep with the fishes, see.

Since it's a s*** show, just give Vladdy max reps at 1B. Maybe he will become passable over time.
