Has he righted the ship this season?

 

7.04 ERA thus far but has a 4.07 xFIP. His BB% is double than what it was last season. Strikeout numbers in line with his career averages. Also, has given up 2.78 HR/9 vs. 0.80 last season. 10 HR's given up in 32.1 innings so far whereas he gave up 12 in 134.1 innings last season.

 

You would have thought pitching in San Fran and the NL West where he was most of his career, he would have been fine but yeah numbers have been ugly. Maybe some of his struggles are due to feeling pressure to live up to the new contract and pitching on a new team. But yeah otherwise he has been awful. He's also on the IL right now.

Or post like an adult like he did.

 

Alejandro “en fuego” Kirk keeps up the torrid pace with a 1/4 night while simultaneously keeping his non-extra base streak alive at 9 games.

 

STFU... meat.

[Spanky99]

[Spanky99]

I should have my own show, bro.

 

I don't disagree, it's good comedy.

[Spanky99]

Some people's opinions aren't stupid because they go against some sort of "hive mind" level of thinking, they are stupid because they go completely against logic and are indicative of a poster with a painfully obvious lack of ability to reason.

 

Nailed it.

I wonder if we Paxton Schultz promoted AAA now...

Yeah, that would make sense.

Bullpen circle of trust is now:

 

(Romano, Swanson, Pearson, Richards)

You could add Bass to the bottom of that list, but looks that way and rightfully so.

What about Mr. Mayza and his 1.80 ERA / 2.52 xFIP and 0.6 fWAR?

Oops

 

Yes to Mayza

 

No to Bass

[G-Snarls]

Pearson, Mayza and Richards are stabilizing the bullpen

 

And we might get Chad Green in a bit

Oof, I missed him too. Derp.

Tony Buckets has been very good since April, true story.

[Captain_Obvious]

Everyone trashing Kirk and saying he is fat should really stop. He just had a baby. Do you guys know long it takes to shed the extra weight?!?! You are all so mean.

Belt's a freak:

 

37% K rate.

.380 OBP

126 wRC+

16% BB rate

Only 3 HRs

 

From a brutal start he has been worth his deal so far, even though he can look as bad as it gets on any given AB. Love to see him get on a HR roll.

[Jonn]

I really hope the Blue Jays aren’t planning to have Manoah start against the Texas Rangers. Houston is bad enough but we can’t really be punting games. Rangers will absolutely murder him. Gotta skip his turn.

Belt not in the lineup tonight, stupid f***s

[sdyment]

Whoever runs this board has let it turn to s***. I was here at the beginning and it was great. I left years ago when I got fed up with the childish fights. Thought I’d stop in today to read this thread and it’s a f***ing joke here… wtg!

You're not wrong.

 

If we are being honest it's mostly connorp and jim. A few other people who can't help themselves are culpable, myself included, and terminator/jaysblue/deadpool/L54/spanky, various others... then there are the trolls that come and go...

 

but most of the worthless back and forth has connorp or jim on one or both sides of it.

I used to think that but Sometimes I go a couple weeks without being involved in any threads derailing and it happens. So this is false

[connorp]

80% of my posts relate to fantasy baseball in some way. If I’m guilty of something, it’s that

#BlueJays will no longer be treating Mitch White as a starting pitching option, John Schneider says. White is now bulk/multi-inning relief.
