    Im gonna swing for the fences with the ol bench
  2. John_Havok
    And, perhaps more importantly for King, just 69 pitches. Thats pretty efficient
  3. John_Havok
    Arias 3-3 and was a double short of the cycle. Moved his AA OPS up to 1.731 SSS but damn Juan Sanchez has homered twice in the past 5 games to go with 4 walks. Hopefully he's starting to make the adjustment.
  4. John_Havok
    Feels like a walk-off slam is gonna be a few points for the Varsho pickers
  5. John_Havok
    Hopefully the start of a tear where he jacks 5-7 HRs over the next 3 weeks or so

    Walk off oppo salami on a fastball up...by Varsho. Not gonna lie. Did not see that coming
  7. John_Havok
    Pinango for me also
  8. John_Havok
    Rasmussen is one of the new "3-fastball" starters relying primarily on a cutter, 4 seamer, and sinker, adding in the occasional change, an even more occasional curve and a nearly non-existant sweeper. Doesnt walk people and doesnt get barrelled.
  9. John_Havok
    Varsho.
  10. John_Havok
    Also going to have this problem again when Yimi is ready later in the month Optionable guys are... Fluharty, Fisher, Mantiply and Varland. Obviously Varland isnt going anywhere Nance would need to be DFA, Miles would need to be offered back on Rule 5. Mantiply probably down 1st for Yarial then a Nance DFA for Yimi. Though injuries have a way of working the pen out naturally
  11. John_Havok
    Berrios to the 60 day IL probably, then an option of someone?
  12. John_Havok
    That could be good but getting those results at AAA where lineups are full of free swingers at breaking balls out of the zone, maybe not the best indicator. Do we have data on his zone rates?
  13. John_Havok
    Whats the new mix? They trying the "3-fastball" mix that is looking like it might be the new rage?
  14. John_Havok
    That, and youd have an OF full of LHB save for Straw
  15. John_Havok
    He did, then he didn't anymore because the game was tied and his manager was old school and wanted to stick with him to see if he could get the SP the W.
  16. John_Havok
    . I don't care how likeable he is as a person. He's a s***** MLB player, we lost Leo Jiminez cause management wouldn't send him down and now Pinango who literally did everything he could to stay with the Jays is being sent down, to keep a guy hitting .127. Unreal! I can't believe you're not a major league manager. Truly mystifying

    You don't think living in the DR your entire life, then moving to Dunedin at 18 or 19 isnt much of a culture shock? Good god man... Whether it's the reason for his struggles or just a part of it is debateable, but the fact there is absolutely a culture shock is not
  18. John_Havok
    Springer (4) Clement (10)- mphenhef vlad (4) - Landry, Omar Kaz (4) - Jonn, Spanky Sosa (8) - gruber Varsho (4) Straw (14) Davis (6) Valenzuela (8) Bench (20) John_Havok
  19. John_Havok
    Avg exit velo off this guy is 93.5 Throws slider, 4 seam, change as his main 3, occasional curve and sinker. Jays have never seen him before so i anticipate 1 time through the order he dominates, 2nd time through gives up 5+ ER and out of the game after 4.1
  20. John_Havok
    Bench
  21. John_Havok
    Gimme... Varsho
  22. John_Havok
    I think expectimg a similar run in 2025 is reasonable, but the problem is now they also need to count on 5+ teams getting markedly worse at the same time. That is probably the part that isn't as realistic. The Os actually filled some holes for a change, Tampa is doing their usual Tampa things, Yankees haven't had their old-age month yet. Seattle is legit. Im not a White Sox believer though, I think they'll slide. Detroit, bit of a wildcard since they have to trade Skubal or theyre insane, but they might just be dumb enough to keep him. I think Tampa slides a bit because thats what they do every year towards the deadline when they trade half their 26 man roster. A ton rides on Caminero staying healthy. Texas... Athletics... im not sold yet but Athletics are the scarier of the 2. Cleveland is the same as theyve always been and will likely end up beween 82-85 wins in the annually weak central. So, Jays can go on a run, but unless at least 5 of those teams above go tits up, they still wouldnt make it.
  23. John_Havok
    Fair and reasonable. I wonder what the micro looks like ... like, do they tell him, you have 60 pitches to get as far as you can, or you're going to go 4, don't worry about the pitch count so much. Somewhere in between?
  24. John_Havok
    Dunning... meet Kruger.
  25. John_Havok
    That could be an explanation in that they want to see more efficiency, but at the same time they're slowing down his stamina development keeping him at 60. It would seem more prudent to keep increasing the pitch counts even if he's not being incredibly efficient. He is a bit of a unit at 6'3" 210 so maybe they don't have those stamina concerns and are confident he can ramp up quickly if needed.
