If Rivera is a good infield coach (I doubt he is) keep him in that role. But why is he still at 3B is beyond me. Dude has survived 2 coaching overhauls lol

[rydermike]

Weird bounce

[Slyfisher]

Clearly Cavan's taking his struggles playing 3rd to the plate. What happened to his legendary strike zone command?

[Jays24]

Also why the f*** is biggio in a run driving spot in the lineup? Lol

 

It's the first thought I had when I saw the lineup. Dudes main skill is taking walks which is tougher to do batting 5th. He looked comfortable batting leadoff which is why I'd put him at the bottom until he figures his stuff out. He's not this bad.

[TwistedLogic]

f***ing love Vladdy at first, lmao.

He was really good the last couple years. And he’s a rbi machine, amirite?

[Orgfiller]

Luis Rivera sucks at literally the only job he has.

 

I mean his main job is teaching defense. He's god awful as a 3B coach though no doubt about that.

Don't think you want to take credit for being in charge of infield defense on this team lol.

I'm calling it now. Danny Jansen will tie the game with a solo homer snapping an 0 for way too many streak.

I will drive down to Saskatchewan and give you 20 bucks if that happens.

 

Hope it does though. I'm pulling for him. His outs have gotten better so it's only a matter of time before he gets some luck to go his way.

Lol it’d be a miracle if he hit a foul ball

[bones10]

Rivera is terrible. How is he still here?

 

Bad sends and IITC, he works on the infield defense which sucks.

 

FO seems to worry about the big picture to an obnoxious degree, the amount of impact a bad 3rd base coach and manager have on a team in the long run (over the course of a 162 games) is negligible - to non-existent.

 

It's also probably the reason we're watching Bergen start the game today followed by Milone, Bo not moving off short this year and Biggio getting a very long leash at third. the FO will not sacrifice ANY future flexibility for short term fixes . To them this is another developing year that they don't expect to win it all, I imagine trade deadline deals will match this feeling and be mostly underwhelming.

 

It's honestly results in a pretty poor viewing experience in the hopes that maybe everything lines up for this team perfectly and they turn into a juggernaut. That's not to say its a poor plan or that it isn't working it's just I would like a little bit more urgency as anything could happen to these young players. Removing Montoyo, his gremlin Rivera, and some other minor roster tweaks would prob result in a much better viewing experience for the more knowledgeable Jays fans, and the casuals, but the FO just doesn't care about these low impact moves.

Chatwood looks like a miniature Roark lol
