Yes the IL stint can be back-dated. Jays have essentially been running a 25-man roster for the last 10 days. And this 10-day stretch has been the worst of the season, so you could argue an extra arm might've helped, even just to soak up some innings.
Watching those Yankees/Rays and Redsox/Nationals games in the final hour of the season and praying for a loss was rough. That f***ing Redsox comeback. The Jays dominated Baltimore over that final series at home. They looked primed and ready for the postseason.
Ughh
True. He was always kinda shaky at times in the past but would still rack up the Ks when needed. This year it feels like he's getting very lucky when he gets a save.
See this is the problem with this team. Springer clearly looking like he hurt himself during that at bat, he goes back to the dugout and no coaches go up to have a chat with him.
The whitesox are actually a good comp. Sadly.
But it feels like the great orgs like Astros, Dodgers, Rays, Braves, etc don’t miss like that. Or don’t miss that badly.
Although 2 of those teams look like s*** right now…
Then maybe the front office shouldn’t have relied so much on guys that were out of shape for their entire minor league careers?
If you think that the overweight thing is the main issue.
I feel more like the main issue is the coaching and development at the higher levels. Its quite possible that the major league coaching staff is dogwater. Or maybe its the inability of our front office to properly identify key metrics when evaluating players.
Or maybe it was all just bad luck that half our roster blew up at the same time.
