Man something needs to change. Tapia and Zimmer both ought to be DFAed. There has to be someone in AAA that can do better than this garbage. Getting tired of big fat Kirk too.

Zimmer needs to go for sure. Tapia wouldn't be bad if he wasn't getting so much playing time.. He should be added as a PR/Defensive replacement later in game. Not starting as much as he is.

Kirk's starting to heat up... and it looks like Bo is too.

 

Other than that, this was a s*** game for the Jays.

As much as I don't care for 5'8 265 baseball players Kirk is the least of the problem right now, he can at the very least hit for contact. Collins, Tapia and Chapman are beyond reproach at the plate right now. Bichette and Gurriel need to get better and fast. I guess Gausman has been fun to watch...

This!

 

Jays can't keep sticking with these guys. Time to let go of Zimmer and start playing Tapia way less.

But who is replacing them?

 

I could see Zimmer cut loose once Biggio is back, then Biggio hopefully hitting enough to take corner outfield playing time away from Tapia.

Collins, Tapia and Chapman are the opposite of "beyond reproach" at the plate.:cool:

The problem with Kirk is moreso when he's on the bases. Lol

I think we will be ok.

 

-Bullpen is regressing but I still think it will be a decent bullpen, probably league average with potential for more.

-I'm still confident that the Offense will regress to the mean and will be at least a Top 10 offense by season's end.

-Rotation looks to be pretty good even though some kinks need to be worked out. So even though Gausman won't be THIS good all year we will probably see better versions of Berrios, Ryu, etc.

-The bench looks like s*** but remember Espinal is so damn good now that he's no longer a part of that unit. Getting Jansen back will mean no more Hiney-man (bc he's cheeks, get it?) and less of the other bats like Tapia so that will help too.

 

Also:

We are 17-14 with one of the hardest schedules played to date and one of the easiest schedules remaining. I'm never optimistic about a trip to the Trop but the pitching matchups look great and then the schedule REALLY opens up for some wins. Just flip through it really quickly and you'll see loads of games against the Orioles, NL Central, etc. and it basically starts on Monday and lasts the rest of the ENTIRE year. Seriously just look at it it's crazy. Unless the Red Sox get it going it doesn't really look like we'll face back-to-back series against winning teams on the road from here on out.

Tapia had a -0.5 WAR heading into today and has a 39 wRC+ in 101 plate appearances after his 2 PA's today so far. I really want to see how far he can go until the team does something.

 

Grichuk worth exactly 0.0 WAR so far this season

 

Needed to make a large upgrade if the 4th OF was going to be playing a lot...

Compare this "annoying" start to their mediocre 2021 start.... in 2021 in the first 31 games they:

 

- lost a series to Texas

- lost a series to the Angels

- lost 3 out of 4 to the Royals

- split a 2 gamer with the Nationals

- split a 4 game series with Oakland

 

In 2022 the only real series-level fumble they've had is Cleveland. It's that + a couple of tough series against the Yankees including two one run losses.

 

Looks so much better if you look at it series by series.
