General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2021)

[Krylian]

Holy f***, Pearson on the 7 day IL due to an apparent groin injury. WTF with this glass kid.

 

IT's bad

[Spanky99]

Spent too much time on his grip in 2020, I guess.

 

Finally, someone cracks me up concerning Reese.

[Laika]

Been thinking for ages people were giving up on Reese too quick, there is potential there. Already better hitter then Pitcher Janssen lol.

 

Post was bait. Reese blows

[connorp]

Blows is a relative term with Jansen as the incumbent

[RustyTrombone]

should trade Reese to a dumb NL team like the Rockies. They might think hes a .300 25 hr hitter at Coors.

If he's hitting .290 in the AL East, he'd hit .400 at Coors!

yeah they both blow. it's just shocking that Jansen is probably the better defender and Reese might actually, somehow, be a slightly better hitter. the exact opposite of how they profiled

[InvincibleTiger]

As Jays fans, are we still bemoaning the loss and emergence of Anthony Desclafini and Joe Musgrove?

Not really. Mostly we are just happy that the incompetent and inexperienced GM who set assets like them on fire is gone.

[TwistedLogic]

Springer is back fingers crossed. Starters and pen performing better. Good Stirling and Good Chatwood lately huge plus.

 

They need to keep addressing their holes. Confident they will. Things are looking up men.

 

Funny thing about Chatwood is if he were on another team, he's the exact type of guy Jays fans would want the FO to trade for.

 

Hopefully he's figured out whatever the hell was plaguing him and can be a reliable arm down there the rest of the way.

He was throwing a pile of strikes last night so that is a good sign. With all the movement on his pitches if he can stay in the zone he is a solid bullpen guy.

[Bluebombers]

Romano looked great on 2 days rest,high velocity strikes, want you want from the pen

If he can stay in the zone, he's a top 10 reliever in baseball.

 

And yeah he was masterful yesterday.

If Grichuk could lay off swinging at balls out of the strikezone, he’s a top 10 outfielder in baseball

Romano has been worth .8 WAR....how does that stack up against all MLB relievers. Amazingly Chapman is only .9 and Hendricks 1.1

Melancon 1.2 and Barnes 1.1

[BigCecil]

Melancon 1.2 and Barnes 1.1

 

fWAR has them at .3 and 1.5

If Vladdy could bat left handed he would be Babe Ruth

Apparently Pearson was also injured going for the fourth opinion.

[Krylian]

Can they do groin transplants?

[FantasyNewb]

Can they do groin transplants?

 

If they do, sign me up! Could do with a new groin myself.

[Brownie19]

That is really bizarre....4th opinion?

[G-Snarls]

That is really bizarre....4th opinion?

 

Especially for a groin injury. All you can do is rest it then rehab it.

 

It's not like it's his back or his elbow. Wtf?

[Laika]

That is really bizarre....4th opinion?

 

Maybe they mean 4th opinion this entire season.

[Krylian]

Post was bait. Reese blows

 

It was Masterful Baiting...

[TwistedLogic]

That is really bizarre....4th opinion?

 

Does Pearson have recurring groin injuries? If so, 4th opinion can mean overall since he first started dealing with issues in that area.

 

Which would make lots of sense. They could be looking into investigating why he keeps hurting it. That kind of due diligence is important.

[InvincibleTiger]

When are Merryweather and Hatch due back?
