This regime are in the minus in trade value since they arrived, but by how much I wonder.

Pete Walker: "Charlie who do you want ready to go today?"

Here comes our slugger.... T A P I A

[TwistedLogic]

Feel like a little more hustle from Springer there woulda scored a run.

 

Edit: Yup.

[BigCecil]

Can he atone for that E? Let us all bow our heads...

[gruber92]

Here comes our slugger.... T A P I A

 

Hey, his name looks very powerful with the letters spread like that.

[Jays24]

dont feel bad. we needed to trade him for two relievers to miss the playoffs by a game.

 

There are like 70 rounds in a baseball draft. Why have we struggled so damn much to develop major league pitchers? Romano/Manoah and a bunch of turds for the most part after that.

[EdwinsParrot]

Springer man what was that

[Horses Fart]

Lazy George

Edit: Yup.

 

 

I don't understand the not giving 100% all the time attitude.

[Jays24]

Give Springer a break... he only gets 1 day off and another DH day per week. Dude shouldn't be expected to run the bases hard as well.

 

/sarcasm

[Big BlueJay]

Send Kukuchi down until he learns how to throw the ball over the plate there's no excuse for this at this level

[glory]

I just looked up Tellez's stats and it makes me sad

 

With the way Montoyo uses the DH, I don't think Tellez would have panned out here. The Jays basically need to trade for Ian Happ (or someone who can play a bunch of positions + being able to hit) to get the most of the DH spot the way it is used currently. The org seems to want to use DH to rest regulars, and that hurts when they have DH's on the roster.

Hands down we won the "five tool" Derek Fisher trade sweepstakes. Actually, he had 6 tools because he almost could catch a ball with his head.

[Brownie19]

I was neutral with Grichuk but he's a lot better than Tapia as part of the top four outfielders. How much money did we really save? $3M this year? I don't know about next year's numbers in savings but I'm sure Ross will throw it Tapia's way.

 

We also got Pinto - lottery ticket

 

Randel's been worth -0.3 WAR over the past 750 PA's....he f***ing sucks, let it go.

[Dagagad]

I would have thought they were plus just from the teo and Espinal trades.

 

Most of the others were either bad timing (they waited too long prob on owner mandate) or marginal one way or the other.

[JFD]

dfa this bumb

[Slade]

I don't get the quick leash on Thorton but Richards struggling and pitching more?

[Dagagad]

Does richards have options? He could use a few weeks to figure it out.

[HERPDERP]

Richards hasn't done anything this year to deserve high-leverage

[Slade]

Completely trash management and trash pitcher.

[JFD]

BP pitch

[TwistedLogic]

Thornton gets 23 pitches and Richards gets 36.

 

f***ing gimps running this team.

[Deadpool]

Richards hasn't done anything this year to deserve high-leverage

 

He actually hasn't done anything this year to deserve much more than the Borucki treatment.

[JFD]

Thornton gets 23 pitches and Richards gets 36.

 

f***ing gimps running this team.

 

Just one oompa loompa

[Ehjays]

Matt Gage sighting

[Dagagad]

I’d pull Thornton early as well. He’s not someone I trust at all. Richards just needs to come in and do his job. He has to use his pitchers. He can’t just decide to never use richards.

 

The problem im seeing is that according to fangraphs he doesn’t have options. That’s could be big.

[glory]

The long man out of the pen pulled after 23 pitches (+ being really effective), replaced by a 1 inning reliever who sucks and is allowed to go up to 36 pitches because Charlie wanted to squeeze another (bad) inning out of him. Letting the long man who was actually effective pitch deeper into the game was probably too complicated.

[Effit]

The first 2 games were too easy, so of course we get this stinker today.

[JFD]

damn I thought that was the final death blow
