I will be very triggered and it will ruin my night if Toronto gets dominated by Touki Toussaint

Gotta love it. Joe Panik continues to serve in his near everyday role as a super utility guy. I love all the creative ways in which Buntoyo continues to get his bat into the lineup.

 

Take today for example, he benches the righty Teoscar Hernandez who has been struggling with a wRC+ of 166, moves Biggio to RF and then inserts the left handed Joe Panik into the lineup. Genius.

[Orgfiller]

Where is Teoscar?

[Jonn]

Easy Dub.

[glory]

Is Teoscar hurt? Playing Joe Panik over him when the team just had 4 days off earlier is insane, even by Buntoyo's standards. He's been our best position player so far.

Yeah, this is so beyond frustrating at this point. Joe Panik was supposed to be the 26th man, not a virtual every-f***ing-day player. He should be used sparingly. I find myself wishing for his release every day, if for no other reason than for Atkins to get the point across to Montoyo.

I would be pulling my hair out if I was Atkins, or maybe throwing a chair against the wall.

Buntoyo definitely playing 4D chess. Since 2018 Panik has a 71 wRC+ against RHP in 512 PA, so bench the best hitter on the team so far to get dat sweet vetrin bat in the lineup.

 

I swear, the Rays only kept that man employed to get Cash coffee every game. I can't think of one damn thing he could contribute to a team as analytical as the Rays. The Yankees fired Girardi after losing in game 7 of the ALCS. Atkins better grow a set and do the right thing this winter.

You would think with all these stats and information available it would be extremely difficult to make this many bad decisions. Does Charlie not have this information or does he not understand it? Its really hard to comprehend the rational of these decisions and our idiot media has zero backbone to ask these questions. I just think its sad that I would rather have a bunch of dudes on a message board manage this team over the guy currently employed by the team.

 

Unless Hernandez is hurt why? Like the season is short and team was off for several days. Why bench arguably our only good hitter so far this year lol

[BlueRocky]

Montoyo pecking order: Shin Yamaguchi, Rafael Dolis, Joe Panik > everyone else

I will say, Siddal was kind of going into him yesterday about Alford starting once again and having Tellez waste away on the bench. Obviously thats not direct press asking hard hitting questions, but it is something.

I was talking more about the beat writers and reporters that get to ask him questions directly. Nobody seems to want to challenge his thinking. A couple of them post things on Twitter but when it comes to asking him directly they all pussy out. I would like to know how he would respond to the question of why Joe Panik and his 71 wRC+ in his last 500+ at-bats (for example as used in this thread) is so important to get into the lineup. Would his answer be I’m not sure what that means.

[BlueRocky]

Maybe he got hurt on that pickoff play, I can’t think of another reasonable explanation to sit your hottest bat after 2 games coming back from 4 days rest.

I can understand not wanting Alford in the lineup, but are we really that desperate to get Tellez and his careet 97 wRC+ into the lineup? Against tough lefties to boot?

[saskjayfan]

Is teoscar hurt or are we just playing Panik over him on purpose.

Both would be terrible options. The latter could be worse if it's just a day-to-day thing for Teo.

I prefer the 'f*** Montoyo' narrative myself, so let's go with the latter.

Dan Shulman just said Hernandez isn’t in the lineup because splits. That’s why Panik’s big bat is in the lineup.

[Orgfiller]

The broadcast just confirmed that Teoscar is sitting this one out due to dumn. "Splits"

[Stangstag]

I hope Panik goes 0-3 with 3Ks

[Stangstag]

Touki gonna carve the Jays up tonight I can feel it.

[Jonn]

I hope Panik goes 0-3 with 3Ks

 

He will probably go 2-3 with a bloop single and an infield single and cement his spot in the lineup and in Charlie’s heart forever.
