Average pitches per reliever by team:

And now we see why it's not a thing.

 

Funny enough he got hurt because he was in RF lol. If he stayed in CF and Teo in RF he would have been ok.

[Stangstag]

Springer apparently is feeling good; more news tomorrow.

 

Couple days off I’m assuming, but its a great time for him to rest up all things considered. Maybe DH a bit more here and there

[Dagagad]

Feels like Espinal is transitioning to a platoon? Seems like he is starting against righties less.

That’s fine, Biggio has been good

[Brownie19]

As he should be.

[G-Snarls]

Tapia for cleanup.

 

Charlie had it right!

I’m sure something else would have re-aggravated it. Hoping it’s nothing but if the cautious approach is to give him time off then they should do it.

This is why another OF isn't a bad idea for depth purposes, unless you want Tapia starting a lot!

[Laika]

Tapia has been better than George for the last 2 months lol

 

George

43 games

197 PA

1.0 fWAR

107 wRC+

 

Tapia

38 games

127 PA

0.9 fWAR

156 wRC+

 

0.00708661417 = Tapia "WAR per Plate Appearance"

 

0.00507614213 = Springer "WAR per Plate Appearance"

 

That's since May 29

He does have a 116 wRC+ since May 1st. 139 wRC+ since May 15th man...

[Spanky99]

Haha... Wilner's all in on Soto!!!

 

[Brownie19]

Who let Wilner in the Blue Jays dugout? And why?

[Spanky99]

Springer's available off the bench so BNS says, DTD sore elbow...

 

[Laika]

Sure, Jan. Just a sore elbow...

[Spanky99]

He's a media member now, lol. The Star

 

What do you think of that trade? I think I'd reluctantly do it.

[Jonn]

Bo likes to play everyday is pissed when hes not in the lineup. I think this is an interesting decision.

[max silver]

That's fair but a really tough price to pay. I think I'd be a lot less reluctant if there were indications that the team had a legitimate shot to sign Soto long term.

[Jonn]

If you saw his numbers vs RHP you would understand why,

[Spanky99]

He collided with Gurriel in the OF yesterday and looked like he hurt his shoulder

That'd be dreamy.

What I don't get, is why Collins when two regulars are out? lmao

[Jonn]

Or hes going to the Nationals in the Soto trade.

[Jonn]

Haha... Wilner's all in on Soto!!!

 

 

If were taking the Corbin contract they aren't getting Moreno, Martinez, and Ricky T. They can pick 2 of the 3. I don't know why we are taking that horrendous contract unless it lessens the return and we have the prospect capital to make the trade outright. Bowden is dumb.

[Jonn]

What I don't get, is why Collins when two regulars are out? lmao

 

I don't even understand why Collins is on the team. If we were going to have a third catcher just sit around we should be a glove first. Collins can't hit or field lol.

I would definitely prefer Zimmer in CF and Teo/Gurriel on the bench over Collins

because options

[Jonn]

because options

 

Cool option him and bring up someone useful lol

[John_Havok]

Cool option him and bring up someone useful lol

 

Or, option him, punt a uselss pen arm, and bring in a real bench bat with some utility.
