Bringing in Barger for the platoon advantage on an 8-1 game against the Rockies certainly seems like major overkill.

JS is a good student, follows everything said in the book

Their offence isn't the problem 

The team with the worst wRC+ in baseball?

I think JS is fed up with all the talk about run differential and he's doing something about it

[Jays24]

Should the Jays use Hoffman to avoid rust with a day off tomorrow?

Yeah I’d probably let him pitch against his old team but have him on a 15-20 pitch count.

[neverbeenhere]

Rockies' payroll is close to about $121 million, that means team assembly is not good? There are some pretty poor teams doing much better than Rockies

Possibly.

[neverbeenhere]

that's a good idea and also get him in vs. his old team. JS is a players coach and you have to think Hoffman wants to pitch this series

With Brock Lesnar coming back, its front of mind to me again.

Insane mismanagement 

That's roughly the same as the Jays payroll back in 2015. They should at least be a .500 team.

[Spanky__99]

Davis' locked in, hitting and fouling off high heat bodes well, when he scuffles he can't touch it, that pitch was too high.

I was just trying to make fun of a team that is using France/Buddy in the 5th/6th spots.  I'm sure as hell this lineup wouldn't be ranked 4th in MLB lol.

Wtf are we having try outs in August?

JS is so overly obsessed with lefty-righty match, that's why he can't be a great manager like Joe Maddon. Crazy to think Barger and Varsho are not good against lefty pitcher compared to France and Kennedy

I think the Jays would bench Ohtani/Soto against lefties haha

Great call boys.  

[John_Havok]

Ty France for PoTG . Those HBPs were huge

You missed about 10 other posters with the same thoughts lol. 

[Omar]

What an outing by Gausman.  Bravo.

[John_Havok]

Gaus still getting it done. We really need him to keep that clock turned back for the rest of this season and into the playoffs. Would be huge

[Jays24]

Gausman allowed 3 of his total 5 baserunners in the 1st inning, dude was lights out after that.

Ha, beat me to it, poor Buddy whatshisname gets pinch hit for whilst up 8-1 😂

he was 0-2 with a walk. Only starter without a hit against this sh*tbox team. 

Hit the pine son and think about getting better. 1st place team can't be carrying dead weight like this

[Spanky__99]

Gasman was a boss today!

[Jays24]

Jesus christ haha

Vladdy felt the pressure from France for his starting job lol

[Omar]

Yeah, 11 is better than 10.

edit:  seems Vladdy is letting the ball travel more before his swing.  Maybe a change in approach?

[G-Snarls]

Thanks Vladdy 

Needed the insurance run LOL

[Jays24]

When Bo thinks a pitch is outside, you know you f***ed up as an ump lol

[Omar]

On base machine thy name is Ty France.

[thatoneguy]

36 runs in 3 games is nice, doing exactly what they should do in Colorado.

[Masterbather]

Well, it's Colorado and they are s***, but hopefully this reinvigorates the offense for the road ahead.

[G-Snarls]

Ty France on base every plate appearance

[John_Havok]

That's actually a really good sign for Vlad to be taking those high outer-half fastballs oppo. He was missing those for a quite a long stretch this season.
