GDT: Twins @ Jays Game 2 of 3

[JaysAllMighty]

An embarrassment in front of a sold out crowd.

[Casual Fan]

Is this guy even better than Montoyo? I don't like Montoyo, but Schneider seems to make more silly mistakes.

 

I thought Montoyo was hired because they thought he might have learned some creative stuff from Madden, but it was proven to be not. Schneider was created in the same mold, so, he is just Montoyo version 2. I still don't understand why T Francona was not hired

[Stangstag]

Why white over Bass? that is a key question to understand the Blue Jays organization.

 

If you can’t answer that question yourself idk what to tell you

[Blue Jays Lurker 2023]

It would be understandable to be glass half full is they have exceptional prospects and futures who are waiting in the minors

 

And this team are in a rebuild prior to the offseason

 

But they are not

 

The moves by Atkins are way below average

Because the front office wants a puppet to make THEIR moves. Are you guys really this dense you can’t see what’s going on???

[Spanky99]

Siddall did not like getting talked over by Shipman, lol.

[Spanky99]

Lots of dude's on the IL are getting quoted...

[RobinThicc]

Looks like another John Schneider master class today.

Frankly I can't, some people here are suggesting a political reason but I don't heard that from the professional commentators on TV talking about the game right now, I could speculate perhaps many players do not like Bass and is good to get rid of him, that could explain why White over him

[Jonn]

Well atleast Kevin Gausman is pitching tomorrow. That’s something to look forward to!

[DigitalRock]

Offense can’t go enough to take the pressure off the pitching staff. Brutal

It's probably a lot of things. White is 7 years younger, controllable through 2027, and has been a reasonably effective swingman in MLB so far. And non-baseball stuff probably also played a role. Bass isn't good enough to get much rope if management perceives that he's making more work for them for non baseball reasons.

I hope we win tomorrow, but Schneider's ability to overmanage could make us lose.

We’ll have Swanson and Romano available so should be ok. If they decide to pull Gausman after 6 it may get tricky… Garcia then probably

It might also help if our 1st baseman wasn’t replacement level.

[bluejaysinternNo5]

He'll hit a home run at the skydome one day...

[G-Snarls]

Oh look

 

The doomsday trolls are back....

[M.E.]

An embarrassment in front of a sold out crowd.

 

That's all that matters. Full seats, renovated building and celebrating pride. Who cares whether they win or lose.

[gruber92]

Everyone take the over in total Gausman K's tomorrow. I think he might break his personal record. I'm feeling 15 K's tomorrow.

The fans care. They won’t show up to watch a losing team

[Skinny Wolf]

The curse of Anthony Bass

[Jays333]

Wow what a braindead decision to put Cimber in when Francis was doing just fine. Why can't we just have a manager who does the right thing. And why the f*** are we making this guy manager based on a half a season sample size when this is suppose to be win now. Being a fan of this organization sometimes just hurts.

[thatoneguy]

Say what you want about the bullpen/managing, but the offense really hasn't truly "gone off" much this season at all. The general power outage is getting rather noticeable.

Blame Vlad for that

[Daniel Labude]

Another L at the hands of the worst bullpen pitchers in baseball...Cimber and White should be in indy ball

[John_Havok]

Blame Vlad for that

 

He’s definitely a big part of the problem. I’m not sure how to explain the questionable approach that we see up and down the lineup though.

 

Team ISO is 16th in MLB at .159, and with the hitters on this team that is just not where it should be. This team should be pushing .170-.180

 

Yes, losing Teo hurts that a bit, but more impacting is multiple players vastly underperforming their talent levels.

Springer looks like he’s lost some power, Vlad looks like a slap hitter, Kirk too, Varsho has been stinging some balls that look like homers off the bat but just die, Merrifield has been playing alot and we know his power isn’t great…

 

Kinda makes sense I guess? Although it seems like the ball is dead or something.

[Masterbather]

Wasn't able to watch the game today, glad I didn't.

 

Has any front office, at least of the so-called contending teams, done a worse job with their starting pitching depth in the last couple of seasons than this one? Every 5th day is going to be hold your breath and pray. Our already mediocre bullpen is going to get further exposed and fatigued.

I think Francis was a decent enough depth option, but the coaching staff/front office decided to get cute and not actually use him for very long. Having Cimber pitch the 8th with nobody other than White to come in to rescue him was pretty awful bullpen management.
