Jays 2023 Pen - Good or Good Enough?
John_Havok replied to BigCecil's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Might be tunneling better too, anything on his sinker different than previous? -
Probably a scheduled day off. No mention anywhere in the twitter-verse about anything relating to an injury. Coming off his hip surgery they'll surely have some built in rest days to get him off the turf.

Did Beltre or Pinto ever happen to stand right beside Peyton Williams?

General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2023)

Why wait till the off-season, hire his ass as a roving pitching coach or special assistant to Pete Walker or whatever title they want to give him and get him in there now. -
Come on Jansen, if nothing else just to throw in the face of that f***ing moron board troll

Heh…gorilla warfare

It was never really in question. Manoah had great results last year and i think he has better stuff in him, but Gausman has a truly elite pitch in that splitter/change and when youve got that kind of weapon for swing and miss, it's a real treat to watch. I love Manoah's demeanor, but he does not have the same calibre of stuff. I think he just needs to get back to going full speed right out of the gate instead of trying to nibble with 91-92 and dial it up later. Just bring your A game right from the first pitch and go as long as you can. He has a really great extension on his delivery, so him slowing his velo down negates some of that advantage. That, and he needs to get his slider back to being controllable, it was never even close last night.

f***ing Tampa man... Up 3-0, their rookie pitcher callup with 5 Ks over 3 no hit innings, just 1 walk so far.
-
How many feet was he out by this time?

Yeah I can;t watch it SN Now either, just a big blue background after logging in, and Im not even using the app, just the web page login.

Love it, but sure would be nice to see fewer walks. Right now he's 5.1 IP with 4 BB, 4 hits, and 11 K. I'm sure the Jays love the Ks but he needs to tighten up those walks.
-
Nobody is more frustrated with his results than he is.
-
I guess, but 20 million per for a guy who's career season was last year at 3.6 fWAR. Good for him. He's off to a hot start this season too so maybe he does go on a tear and make the Cubs look like geniuses. I dont see more than 20-25 HR out of him though.
-
I disagree. 110 sucks giant balls whether it's dry heat or not. I will say though having been in New Orleans in late July, where it's 100 degrees with like 80% humidity at the best of times, its indescribable how uncomfortable that is.

Oh sweet baby jesus no.

General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2023)
John_Havok replied to Krylian's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
https://blogs.fangraphs.com/four-hitters-who-should-have-your-early-season-attention/ Chapman headlines the article, he has changed to a toe-tap timing mechanism. Seems to be paying off. "The difference in Chapman’s connection to the ground is drastic. Last year, he hit full front knee extension and immediately flew off the ground as he over-rotated to the pull side (watch his lead foot come disconnected). This year, his toe tap is allowing his stride to stay closed through foot strike and his feet to stay connected to the ground even after full knee extension, suggesting an improvement in rotational direction. If this is what a toe tap does for him, then I’m excited about his potential going forward." -
Peyton Williams, Tucker Toman, Adrian Pinto, Manuel Beltre? Kendrys Rojas for a pitcher.
-
For Chad Dallas, no. Fangraphs has him as interesting but in the "doesn't throw enough strikes" category based on his first full season being pretty rough with a 5.22 BB/9, mainly faulting the slider. If he's cleared up that issue, he could leapfrog a lot of guys in a hurry.
