    It's a little bit more than a "down year" Go find a specific trade target that would clearly crack the Jays 2024 lineup
  2. Laika
    omg the bp pitcher f***ed him up massive
  3. Laika
    no point in trading him you'd get nothing that would crack the starting lineup anyway and Toronto needs the SP depth

    Anecdotally, Garcia misses in the middle of the plate too much and that is why he gets hit. But there is a huge element of luck in even that. Pitchers will get away with meatballs at some rate. How often you get "punished" can be pretty random. If he was very "hittable" you would expect it to show up in his barrel rate against, or hard contact rate against, or something like that. But it doesn't. Instead it looks like his LD% against, BABIP against, and HR/FB against are just.... unluckily high. You can also tell helpful anecdotes. Like this: his stuff looks really good most of the time and his command is solid. And then some of the more modern stats back up the helpful anecdotes. His Stuff+ is #3 of the current RP corps (a hair above Mayza) and his Pitching+ is #4. Honestly, it does just seem like he has been getting unlucky in specific spots this year. 4.11 ERA 3.61 xERA 3.44 FIP (#5 reliever on team if you count Cabrera's Blue Jays sample) 3.15 xFIP (#2 reliever on team) lmao congrats to John Schneider and the team for not falling victim to troublesome anecdotal reasoning.

    Or he is having a tantrum. Yeah that's possible.

    Really bizarre. They either wanted to give him an extended mental break from pitching or they have him going through a fitness regimen. You want to tell him to just forget pitching this year and hit the stairmaster all September, but they kind of do need to build him up just in case there is a run of injuries and they need him to start a game or two.

    lots of singles, lmao
  8. Laika
    It's been suggested. Not for 2024 but if he does this again...
  9. Laika
    Yeah he's like Cody Bellinger. Dodgers let him go to save $18M in projected final arb. Cubs have him equal money and are ecstatic.
  10. Laika
    Ah yes. Love Garcia and Jackson in a tight game. Amazing.
  11. Laika
    Where the f*** do you get whiny and arrogant from? Immature, sure. Dumb, maybe.
  12. Laika
    I think we hope for a Houston sweep here. Texas is the most vulnerable team
  13. Laika
    I dunno man. It's tough to pitch there but it must be even more difficult to show up there one random time and try to do it I mean the Jays played like s***. Sloppy defense, bad situational hitting, poor pitching all around. But guys like Ryu and Kikuchi just get a full mulligan from me
  14. Laika
    Vladimir Guerrero Jr. makes me throw up
  15. Laika
    Hard to pitch in this park when your defense is playing like this
  16. Laika
    Sounds like he's pitching with a partially torn ligament or something
  17. Laika
    What do you mean "waste"? He barely threw Pitching to Brendan Rodgers is like doing the towel drill or something
  18. Laika
    Coors is a weird place for your first game in forever Not sure Green has all his velo back.
  19. Laika
    hmmmmmmmmmmm
  20. Laika
    Colorado is paying Bard $9.5M NEXT YEAR to pitch like this again, lmao
  21. Laika
    Imagine playing Espinal and Biggio and s*** all year when these f***ers were just destroying AAA????
  22. Laika
    Hasn't pitched since Monday. Some of these guys will get rusty with 4+ days off
  23. Laika
    Cool s***
  24. Laika
    They go to Coors and the only hitter who is fooled is Vlad lol
  25. Laika
    Holy s*** that was bad But Ryu the veteran handled it with class
