Take away Lauer's starts against the Twins and White Sox, don't know what there is to complain about. As a swingman/8th SP on your depth charts, what do you expect Spanky?

Like, you're not even following what was said otherwise, DFA, trade, etc... are you that oblivious to following a topic, don't you teach at a school, man?

It's like talking to a f*cking brick wall seriously with you, bud, lol.

You literally called him a 5/6 and said a 5.60 ERA is acceptable. Get in line, lmfao

Take away Hoff's blowups he's a f***ing icon!

If Atkins knew how to build a BP, we would have won the WS, and we wouldn't have missed the postseason in 2021.. 

He is not a moron btw, but he does have a tin ear when it comes to the BP. 

The bullpen is not perfect, but it is absolutely fine as evidenced by being top 10 in many important categories in all of MLB. You were trying to dunk on Atkins over it, which is hilarious.

 

You have to look at the bullpen as a whole, you can't say it's imploding because a couple of the individual relievers are, that's what relievers do dude. They are volatile. Overall the bullpen is basically top ten in MLB despite those individual implosions and despite being over worked due to a phuck load of starter injuries.

Again, you’re twisting words and trying to force an argument where there doesn’t need to be one, just so you can sound superior.

At the end of the day, Lauer is probably near the end of the line anyway once Yesavage and Berrios get back. So if he ends up making five or six starts for us, then yes, the results have been mediocre - but that’s exactly why he’s a career 5th or 6th starter. He can go through stretches where he looks solid, like we saw in the early part of last season, and he can also go through stretches where the inconsistency shows up.

For a guy who was 7th or 8th on your SP depth chart, if he gets called on because of injuries and gives you around five innings while allowing roughly three earned runs per start over a handful of outings, the Jays have definitely gotten worse before.

You can’t be serious with this… take away the 2 bad starts and look at just the 3 good starts and his numbers look good? Like yeah no sht?

Take away Scherzer’s bad starts against LA and MIN and he looks like an ace!!

There are two types of people in this world. 

1. People who ride Eric Lauer's dick
2. People who don't

Choose wisely 

Lauer has been bitter since coming out on the short end of his arbitration case.  The Jays need to jettison this malcontent post haste.
