I thought Toro cashed there

 

At least Urquidy has thrown ~40 pitches... maybe he only has another couple innings.

[John_Havok]

It was a bit of a hanger though. Julien is a stud, he probably thought he could murder it.

 

True, it was a pretty nice meatball to go at, just unfortunate timing when Robson was so far in the clear and him fouling it off.

[Laika]

Don't really agree with using Aumont. He's super washed up.

His farm is near my in laws farm and Eric Bedard lives nearish to me. It's sort of weird lol.

Watching Tyler O'Neill swing is hilarious. The bat looks like a tooth pick and his bat speed is so f***ing fast.

He's terrible. Not sure what our other options are though.

Poutine heaven

Go ask Erik why he isn't here

[John_Havok]

More washed up old guys, Albers hasnt thrown yet, and some guy named Onyshko.

Might as well use Brash while it's close, for one.

 

I'm thinking some of these unknowns like Cade Smith would for sure be better. He is 23 and had an insane K rate in AA.

[John_Havok]

Would be nice to get 3 innings or so out of Aumont given how bad he is.

I'll take one inning out of him.

[John_Havok]

4 pitch walk to a nobody... good lord.

[Terminator]

Aumont isn't even trying to hold the runners lol

[John_Havok]

I have so much faith in Aumont vs Arozarena.

[Terminator]

Aumont vs. Arozarena is a disaster waiting to happen

[John_Havok]

another walk... ffs

 

That as a ballsy pitch though that could have been called a swing. He held up though.

 

Whitt has to make his move, Albers needs to clutch up and get Verdugo

[Grant77]

How much money did Arozarena pay the umps? All kinds of calls in his favour.

[Brownie19]

at least tree fiddy pesos.

[John_Havok]

Nice... we live to see another inning.

Isn't Aumont pitching in men's league in Ottawa? I know some boys from the Nepean Brewers and I thought they said they were facing him.

Staff ace of his beer league team

[Grant77]

Alex Verdugo, the Mexican born and raised in Arizona, gives us a big out.

[John_Havok]

Boooooooooom!

[Spanky__99]

Bo with a Big Fly!!!

[Grant77]

That would have been really nice in the first Inning, but I'll take it!

[John_Havok]

All good, we got one back, lets shut em down and get back to the top of the lineup

[G-Snarls]

Urquidi done probably?

[Terminator]

So Urquidy is done. Not sure how good Mexico's bullpen is. I haven't heard of many of their names so I assume it's not great but there's a big difference between some of these no namers.

 

Some are completely washed up beer league types and some can be serviceable.

Most of them are pretty decent in this context. Much better than Toronto's second tier relief pitchers.
