Kirk should see some time in AAA though. I don't feel he deserves to be rostered at this point in time. Heineman gives us a better effort and chance to win right now. And quite frankly don't want to see him back unless he makes a commitment to getting in shape.

Does Kirk score from 2nd on that ball that Varsho scored from 1st on?

 

I wouldn't take that bet

Lukes just saves Schneiders ass right there. How the hell do you not pinch run for Kirk on that situation. Mind boggling

 

Yet there are people who would find lame excuses and attack posters expressing their personal opinion.

 

Shameful

But that would make me feel fat....I am right now a fit, athlete because of good ol Kirk

Pitchers do have legs

 

The Blue Jays used Stroman when he was on the team as a PR. They had warmed up Kikuchi in a previous game... However, you get a starter twisting their ankle or jamming their shoulder in slide, you are pretty f***ed.

Pitchers can be used as pinch runners. Its not common but it's an option that should always be explored if needed.

I remember Gibby used to pinch run with Marcus Stroman, who loved doing it

That could happen to anyone. Pitchers are athletes and run and shag fly balls in the Outfield pretty commonly. I'm willing to out bet every pitcher on our staff could run better than Kirk.

You don't want to have to do it, and you don't do it often, but this was an exceptional case and it should have been done.

Kirk showed us right there why it's OK to discriminate against fat f***s in professional sports. Kirk should be looked upon as a selfish teammate for not being able to control his eating habits.

I actually felt he held up initially but they replay the bat broke the plane.

Some of you guys obviously know nothing about situational hitting, good outs vs bad outs, and have zero situational awareness about the roster situation.

 

Think people are annoyed that Varsho's best hitting ability to being a productive out. We just want more from a guy that we traded an "allstar" and our best prospect for.

Bring back fat shaming!

Yeah, but losing a reliever or bench player is much less damaging to losing a starting pitcher, especially for a team with questionable depth there.
