Jared Jones establishing himself nicely

Yeah, I read that on Roto.

He’s been straight nasty, 11.41 K/9 now with a 2.63 ERA. Hasn’t really had a single bad start, and he’s faced a few good teams like Baltimore, Phils, Brewers.

[Carlos Danger]

Tim Anderson is horrible. Another example of a good player to horrible in 0-60.

Tim Anderson and....90% of the Jays core lol

Hader blows another save today. Dude’s been an absolute dumpster fire.

He has like a 2.00 xFIP 3.00 FIP and 15k/9 but almost anything hit in air has gone out - hence 6 ERA. His BB rate is normal for his career. It should normalize over more innings.

 

After a 7 year run everything has gone pear shaped for the Astros in '24 so far.

Evan Phillips just went down for Dodgers with a pulled hami.........Blake Treinen just off the IL steps right in and takes over as closer.

Cool, I'm a multi league owner of Treinen.

Jackson Holliday is 4 for 30 since going back to the minors. Woof. Could be Kelenic all over again

Let's offer them generational player Vladimir Guerrero Jr. for that slug.

They’d have to throw in Henderson and Mountcastle.

 

Mountcastle just to not face him anymore.

That’s interesting, didn’t check the stats. Just know he’s blown a lot of games. He must be extremely hated in Houston right now haha

That would be swell. He’s still extremely young though

by moronic fans who know little to nothing about baseball - yes.

[bluejaysinternNo5]

Maybe there’s something to the theory of rich nepo babies never struggling or working hard in their lives until they hit MLB. Holliday will probably be fine though.

In his first start this season the Rays chase Mike Clevinger after 2 1/3 - he does not look like the younger version with that funky but athletic delivery; age, injuries....

He’s looked cooked before and proved to be a decent backend SP. I think if he had ST, he would’ve been a passable 4/5 on teams. He may not get much rope though

Agreed, but he'll have plenty of rope on the Shitsox.

Woods Richardson doesn't suck?

If SWR turns into a stud pitcher this will be the cherry on top of Atkins' s*** sundae

[hanton]

I doubt swr is stud material

[BCZ]

The angels are so stupid for not trading trout when they could. Got to be the dumbest organization.

[Brownie19]

21 IP of 1.85 FIP

 

SSS but the last of the Stro DNA in TOR (we think) is off to a good start.

 

FB avg 93. Up 2 MPH.

 

Which likely means TJS is in his future...

[hanton]

Walker Buehler in his first start in 2 years, got off to a bit of ruff start. 2 - 0 Marlins after 1 (3rd out on batters inference so he escaped a jam)

[hanton]

Othani! oh my. 441'

[Ray]

Ohtani’s hit 4 home runs in his last 9 ABs. Absolute monster

 

And then Freddie Freeman goes back to back.

[Laika]

He's a 7 win DH.

Probably a 9 win RF.

 

What's the point of putting him on the mound ever again?

Something that he might want to do...
