Allowing Kikuchi to pitch into the 7th is BLASPHEMY.

 

Especially with our elite bullpen. I doubt the computer said this was ok

it is very strange how they handle Horwitz, Schneider and Clement. It's like they like them until they don't - then they see the bench. KK should not start again - he's been starting quite a bit lately maybe they are showcasing him for a deal. Kinda sad that he's taking away valuable playing time from others

 

 

They refuse to let the hot bats dictate their lineups and always revert to historical data, which I'm sure they don't even know how to interpret properly.

 

Horowitz needs to be in the lineup every damn game, lefty/righty it doesn't matter. These idiots cant get out of their own way man.

Jansen had strike 3 but took the pitch outta the zone. 2024 Jays season in a nutshell

 

this is Jansen, turned that strike to a ball

The bullpen is so effing bad loll. Rather just let our starters go 9 each day. What an embarrassment

 

I think IKF's numbers while pitching are better than 1/2 of our bullpen.

I know the Jays really don't have many options out of the pen. When I saw Trevor Richards coming out of the pen, he looked scared. In my head, I said to myself he doesn't look that confident and is going to blow it. Then Dan Shulman makes the comment on how Richards only save was a 3 inning save in a 14-7 game and how a save in a 1-run game is much different lol. Perfect sequencing haha.

 

Sucks because they could have squeezed out a win. If Richards doesn't hesitate and fields the ball, game over likely. As well, with the winning run on third, you gotta be darn careful that you don't spike that changeup.

 

Wasn't Chad Green available?

 

Just a perfect way to sum up the Jays season.

Sucks they blew a win for Kikuchi after that performance he had.

Chad Green pitched in two consecutive games vs the Mariners but there was an off day in between so who knows?

If I recall correctly, Green was a "yellow" pitcher in the 2nd game v. the Mariners and the broadcast team was surprised to see him come into the game. I suspect they wanted to give him a couple of days off after having to use him. He's a good trade piece and these games don't matter, so there's no reason to push Green last night.

True but John Schneider is fighting for his professional life. It may all be a mute point at this stage but not for him. He really needs every win he can get.

Shhhhh..... Keep it down. The point is mute.

I guess? But I think John gets a daily report that identifies who's available and who's not. Atkins could have an influence on that and through discussions with the HP team, have labelled Green as a "RED" for the day - so John has no choice. I think there's also a possibility they've had internal discussions, acknowledged this is a lost season, told John they won't fire him in-season and have all agreed to adjust how they play the remaining games out.

That sounds about right. Bringing up Jimenez is an indication that they have resigned themselves to some hard truths.

Schneider said he wasn't available during his presser.
