St Louis 2PM: Mostly cloudy, 10C 36 km/h wind. Yikes

 

Good thing we took yesterday off.

[Grant77]

Yikes it really has been an extended winter hasn’t it? Waiting on spring here too…

 

I think it’s because we all started paying for our carbon consumption and we’ve now eliminated global warming.

 

I could see grass in my front yard yesterday. I also have no idea how to make the pictures show up full size.

That's a lot of shovelling. I get plowed at $30 a shot.

You're a smarter man than I. It took about an hour, even with my trusty snowblower. The wet snow is the worst.

It’s warm and sunny in Vancouver

[Jimcanuck]

We missed winter entirely here in Niagara.

 

Well, I cleared snow 2x, but I think they did the same in California.

Yikes!!

Lived in North Bay for 16 yrs, that's nothing unusual at all. Heck there is likely 1 or 2 more coming to northern Ontario.

[Captain_Obvious]

Why the f*** is he in Buffalo

 

Come on

Who do you want to demote or lose completely?

[Jonn]

So yea if Pearson is just going to be a reliever in AAA I understand the decision less. I’m kinda surprised they were so quick to pull the plug on him completely as a Starter.

This much snow isn't unusual in general (we got 3 feet on Christmas), but it's probably close to a record for April. It's certainly the most we've seen in my lifetime.

 

Normal for this time of year is snow melting and the first flowers just poking up.

Bassitt and Montgomery on the bump today, should be a good game, take the rubber match Blue Birds!

I got money on the Jays today!

[Laika]

Wow Bassitt was a great signing!

 

Gausman - SP1

Manoah - SP3

Bassitt - SP5

Berrios - SP5

Kikuchi - SP6

White - SP7

 

gross rotation

Got a feeling we might be seeing Tiedeman by June/July

That rotation costs $88m, counting Ryu, this season. Thank god Atkins signed Gausman instead of Ray.

[RobinThicc]

Complete inability to develop pitchers has left the team with a middling BP and an expensive rotation with question marks all over it

 

Damn

Pretty gross outlook going forward

 

they need to get lucky and have several of Pearson, Tiedemann, Zulueta, Robberse, Barriera, Macko etc. turn into quality MLB players over the next two years.

Kneejerk. Let’s see how berrios and kooch look this year. Wouldn’t surprise me if bassit is finished though lol

[Jonn]

Got a feeling we might be seeing Tiedeman by June/July

 

Sign me up. That means Tiedman is healthy and dominating.

[Stangstag]

Also means the Jays rotation is underperforming though

[L54]

The ship is sinking

[Spanky99]

Hahaha... what a terrible post Laika.

[JFD]

[Eat My Shatkins]

Haha

 

Are you guys telling me that post by Laika wasn't tongue in cheek?

 

I thought for sure he was f***ing around and not serious.

 

We can't really be losing our minds about the rotation (and the multi year outlook lmao) three games into the season can we?

 

It's not like they got their tits lit by the Pirates. The Cards are f***ing good

[connorp]

Haha

Prob 20% troll truth in there. But really in bull/bear terms, there’s some justification to all those SP# if one wanted to make it. Bassitt #5 is a bit rough but if he’s going to throw 89, maybe not

Realistically if all these guys pitch like their projections say Manoah/Bassit/Berrios should all be #3s/4s and Kikuchi is a borderline #4.

 

I guess the next few weeks we’ll find out

Well, there’s projections and bull/bear from there. I personally think Manoah still beats projections. Anyways, was just saying there wasn’t anything too outlandish there. Except maybe Bassitt but that’s if he’s the same pitcher
