    Being fair to Bae, he beat the throw and only Chappy's leg block of the base prevented the steal.

    Well Berrios and kikuchi are definitely not innings eaters in the sense that youd just throw them out the to not embarass themselves and hope they get through 5-6 innings. When aquired, Berrios was a #2 most days and #1 on others. Kikuchi was never an innings eater, more of a guy they thought would be a solid #2/3. Bassitt and Roark yeah, defiinitely fit the bill.

    WTF is this pitching staff right now... nobody can throw a f***ing strike anymore
  4. John_Havok
    Jesus Rivera... Bo was a dead duck if the catcher hadnt missed it.

    Picks locked

    His underlying metrics are pretty much fine, dude is just snakebit. Everything he hits hard goes right at someone. His walk rate is down but that's likely because he's really pressing to try and make something happen at this point of getting f***ed on every batted ball.
  7. John_Havok
    totally allowed to change your picks right up until the first Jay's at bat.
  8. John_Havok
    Ah yes, forgot about the IL thing

    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.
  12. John_Havok
    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+
  13. John_Havok
    I hope he brings it, he probably knows this is his last shot.
  14. John_Havok
    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.
  15. John_Havok
    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.
  16. John_Havok
    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.
  20. John_Havok
    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
  21. John_Havok
    Yet another garbage hit…wtf
  22. John_Havok
    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
  23. John_Havok
    WTF. Any time dipshit did that last season he was out by 10 feet.
  24. John_Havok
    Gausmna just threw that 4seamer at 88. I know he's probably trying to save his arm a bit but damn.
  25. John_Havok
    It does kinda fell like the universe is delivering a big f*** YOU to the Jays doesnt it.
