Montoyo's poison touch.

 

He has a knack for consistently making the wrong moves.

[TrueNorth]

Typical. Blow Jays Blow

[thatoneguy]

You know how it it, we must take out our 20 million dollar pitcher who has given up 3 hits all game just so we can use our "lockdown" bullpen.

 

Lol a bunch of people were saying to take Ryu out.

 

Montoyo is trash, but you can't have it both ways.

[Omar]

Two quality starts in a row gone to s***.

[Inklink]

Fire Make-a-Wish Montoyo

[Daniel Labude]

Whats sad is Jays are going to need Pearson to be stellar in the pen to have a chance. Cause even though some of our additions have done well overall...they arent top notch end of game relievers at the end of the day

It wasn't the worst decision but those bunch of people don't realize our bullpen SUCKS. I'd rather side with my 20 million dollar pitcher who only gave up 3 f***ing hits all game.

[Stangstag]

I understand you can’t expect your bullpen to hold it to 0 runs every game. But its like almost every f***ing time they cough up the lead unless we’re ahead by like 6 runs.

Then it's just coughing up 5 runs

Exactly... the fact we've gotten so much out of Richards and Cimber is clearly not sustainable. They were never pegged to be high leverage guys but are being used as that because we have no other option.

[labadee]

this bullpen

[Omar]

Montoyo's baseball instincts seem to be bad. Maybe the other coaches are giving him input but the optics are not good.

[InvincibleTiger]

It's so easy to bet against my team when I know how our dreadful our bullpen is

 

Maybe this will be a wake up for Shatkins. Axe Montoyo and build a strong bullpen

[Daniel Labude]

They are gimmick pitchers imo. Can be really good, but as you said not sustainable. Cimbers arm angle and Richards changeup..both slow throwing pitchers for the pen, when it goes bad it goes really bad

[Masterbather]

West coast road trips.

 

Can't figure out if I hate them more than visits to the Trop.

[jaysfaithful8]

Who gets called up for Springer if he lands on the IL?

[Jays24]

Montoyo's baseball instincts seem to be bad. Maybe the other coaches are giving him input but the optics are not good.

 

If Shatkins don't make a change this offseason then I wouldn't know what to say. Every metric says we're a really good f***ing team and yet our record doesn't indicate that.

true

We both know they want to keep him Yes man.

I dont think they are

[TrueNorth]

Jays coming undone.

[Ehjays]

who asked what else can go wrong

[Slade]

This series is painful.

[Daniel Labude]

Who gets called up for Springer if he lands on the IL?

 

Probably Biggio

[Jays24]

We both know they want to keep him Yes man.

 

But that's the scary and untalked about part here. Are Shatkins aligned with the ******** Montoyo does every game? Like do they think we should use our bullpen like we're the Rays when there's a clear talent discrepancy on that front?

 

I really wish not or I worry about our ability to take the next step as a franchise.

[Omar]

Why couldn't it have been Grichuk getting hurt? Some dreams can't happen.

[Buster]

If Shatkins don't make a change this offseason then I wouldn't know what to say. Every metric says we're a really good f***ing team and yet our record doesn't indicate that.

 

You are exactly as good as your record. This team 'looks' better than it is, for the most part.

[Daniel Labude]

Guess we go back to

 

Semien, Bo, Vlad, Teoscar

[travisinfla]

Yes we have inflated numbers, sort of like garbage time in NFL. I'd like to see our stats when it counts.

[Daniel Labude]

We are not hitting hangers anymore
