This pen is only ever going to be as good as the rotation. When the rotation blows, the pen gets overworked and sucks. When the rotation goes 6+ solid inning, the pen is fine. That said, I stand by my posts in the pen thread that if the Jays want a championship calibre pen, there has to be at least 1 lefty and 1 more Garcia or better arm added. Maybe Green is the Garcia or better when he comes back but I gotta think they need someone before that. It's no guarantee he even makes it back in time to be eligible for the post season

They're past that point already, they had that 2 years ago with Vlad and Bo.. which allowed them to sign multiple guys theyve already signed and Kirk and Manoah are still pre-arb this season though both will hit Arb 1 next season. This is exactly the stage the jays should be in right now, they're just getting absolutely nothing so far from Springer, Espinal, Jansen, Biggio and Belt. There's no way anyone can tell me that prior to this season they would pick those 5 guys to be as bad as they have been. Sure, nobody was epxecting all star levels performance, but none of them have a wRC+ above 70. I know there's Biggio haters everywhere that think before this year he was terrible and worth cutting, which just want true, but he's not doing himself any favours right now that's for sure. Springer will bounce back. Jansen will bounce back. I have no belief in Biggio Belt or Espinal's bats at this point though to even approach their career norms.

Yeah. I think it's about time Schneider and co just go with the best 9 day in and day out and stop the carousel. THe best lineup right how is 7 deep, and I have faith that Springer will turn it around. This is sorted by wRC+

I hope he brings it, he probably knows this is his last shot. -
Yeah I get there's some hyperbole of course coming from the guys covering the Canadians. I just think a headline that says he has nearly big league ready stuff is just stupid. It's very clear that he doesnt have big league ready stuff.
-
Hitting development has actually been pretty good. Bo, Kirk, Moreno (traded) after vlad is pretty good. Getting 1 addition to the lineup on average per year is all you can really hope for when a team never tanks and bottom dwells for 5 seasons in a row. even getting 5 WAR out of Biggio in his first 4-ish seasons is far better than a lot of orgs get out of their 1st rounders.
-
Yeah. THat video of Dahain Santos that someone posted in the prospects thread... im lookking at those 3 pitches and thinking.... 1st one wouldnt even get a sniff of a swing in the upper minors, let alone the majors it was so far out of the zone. The second one was a hanger that would probably have got murdered, but the third one was legit nasty. I wasn't left with a wow factor there overall like the clips you see from Tiedemann. Kid has time to improve sure, but ... like you said, it's like there is something missing in the system that fails to take a guy to the next level, unles it's already obvious that he will be a stud and all he needs is reps.

This is probably your best work on this board to date
-
That’s the Jays luck in this series perfectly encapsulated in one PA.
-
There’s been an inordinate amount of ******** luck going the Sox way also. HRs and extra base hits with xbas under .100 ….so many seeing eye singles and broken bat flares. Walk off homer that’s a fly out in nearly all parks… Jays hitting line drives all over the park that are right the Defense…. Yes, the pitching has been less than ideal but Lady Luck is definitely s***ing all,over the Jays too
-
Yet another garbage hit…wtf
-
Not really a complaint, but why is a Chappy standing 4 miles away from the plate? This series he’s been totally getting worked on the outer half of the plate and letting easy strikes go by
-
WTF. Any time dipshit did that last season he was out by 10 feet.
-
Gausmna just threw that 4seamer at 88. I know he's probably trying to save his arm a bit but damn.

It does kinda fell like the universe is delivering a big f*** YOU to the Jays doesnt it. -
Im on your side bro.
-
Figures, line drive right at the D 101 MPH with an xba of .500
-
Come on Danny, get one over that fence and make this a game
-
Please never go to a series in Boston again. This is obviously your fault.
-
Wow, something good happened. *small flag wave* 441 Feet. Destroyed another one.
-
Ya know, that's one thing i've never heard paleontologists ever talk about... how big dinosaur dicks were.
-
Lets be fair to Boston a minute here, Gausman has truly sucked with his fastball velo and location, his slider location and his changeup location. He;s not pitching well at all .
-
I dont understand how they can be dead perfect with their swing decisions. Gausman isnt having a good day with his location admitedly but they just seem to know exactly what's coming every time
-
LIterally every move they make is coming up golden. There's no way that was a hit and run.. yet.....
