    I was a bit worried about Pearson's velocity this year but his inning yesterday got rid of those worries. 102mph tied the highest peak velo of his career and his sitting velo was one of the best of his career.

    Yes but it's Kyle Freeland
  3. Laika
    Love when they get Schneider and Clement in there.
  4. Laika
    He's in a soft platoon. One of him or KK sit against LHP. They are kind of taking turns

    Varsho has been hot garbage with the stick for over a year. One or two good swings isn't enough to change lineup decisions
  6. Laika
    The team inexplicably promoted him last year They treat him like a 10 year vet

    Freeland v Berrios tomorrow If the Jays lose that one, might as well not even watch the rest of the season
  8. Laika
    He probably is returning, but he will just suck
  9. Laika
    Garcia lmao wow what a monster
  10. Laika
    He will get lots of innings this year The odds of Gausman going down with a shoulder fatigue type injury are rising
  11. Laika
    Go Conners!

    Right that makes sense Espino also has an option so they could send either down and keep everybody However, Cabrera and Espino seem somewhat useful for the big team. Cabrera has barely pitched and at least has strikeout ability and LOOGY utility. Espino throws strikes and can chug innings. White is just good at nothing. His stuff just does not work with his limited command profile. I think he's a lost cause!

    Even when they do make the majors and pitch like an Ace their elbows fall off half the time. See Eury Perez, countless others. No point getting excited

    Name one person He's a pitching prospect. Most people get it.

    I don't think anybody is ignoring it. Seems like all the fans who post here have mild expectations of RT. It would be NICE if he's a frontline SP but I don't get the sense that anybody is expecting that.

    I think it would be reasonable to say: - AA is still the #2 GM in franchise history because he took the team further than Atkins ever has, and he woke up the franchise from it's deep 22 year slumber. - AA circa 2015/16 was a worse all-things-considered GM than Atkins right now - if AA had have stayed with Toronto as GM, he would be a better GM right now than Atkins is right now. Like, we can assume at this point that he would have been able to learn some things and rebuilt the team appropriately.

    We might see them break RT in as a 3 IP reliever later in 2024, to follow a guy like Bowden Francis. Try to get 4 IP from Francis then 3 IP from Tiedemann. It would basically be the Yusei Kikuchi experience. 3 IP, 60 pitches, 5+ Ks and some walks, hopefully no real damage because the stuff is dominant. Difference is Kikuchi is a vet with a mature arm so he can last for 90 pitches and 5 innings most nights.

    Well, yes. Expanded playoffs does mean that Toronto's World Series winning chances are not diminished significantly if Baltimore becomes a dynasty. But it does of course mean winning the division will be a longshot for the next 5 years. So any run has to start with those dogshit wild card matchups.

    I don't even know what the Jays (and the rest of the AL East) can hope for at this point, to keep Baltimore from just winning the division every year from 2025 on. Maybe that the new ownership group is kinda dumb and they f*** up some trades or signings? Mets style? I dunno 2024, because they are still so young, there's probably still a chance for the other teams to win the division over them
  20. Laika
    I hope it's not Francis. He has shown some promise and has a decent K-BB rate right now. The HR rate is not sustainable and I think he can work through this. Options are probably: - Mayza to IL - White cut - Espino cut - Cabrera to IL or cut Personally, I think it's time to move on from Mitch White. He offers the team nothing at this point.

    73 pitches is good to see
  22. Laika
    Welp. Open and shut case.
  23. Laika
    stuff is nowhere near prospect grades i think his prospect grades said 60 FB 60 SL 70 CB well, by stuff+ it looks more like 50 FB and 55 breaking balls he added a CUTTER this year that gets a good grade but his FB is grading out worse, I wonder if the action and the way the cutter is thrown has f***ed up his fastball movement and maybe even his slider which graded worse in his first couple turns he is also throwing a SPLITTER. Two new pitches. Pitch mix not working. He is probably confused as f***. sigh another Jose Urquidy

    The Royals might actually be good The top 6 in their lineup are all just legitimately good hitters. Witt, Pasta, Melendez are all good young players. Maikel Garcia is sneaky good and has good exit velos. Velazquez is a tank. Sal Perez is a reliable old f***. Frazier + Renroe lengthen the roster and Isbel can field. Ragans is an Ace, they reinforced the rotation with Wacha and Lugo... Marsh and Singer have made some changes... The ALC is a legit 4 team race. Crazy.
  25. Laika
    well, now you know i don't see how this is complicated!
