General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2021)
John_Havok replied to TwistedLogic's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
It's possible, it's just not likely. So much would have to go right for the Jays to make the playoffs that it's just not a likely outcome. It's not even about the Jays possibly shooting themselves in the foot in a game, it's the fact that 3 or 4 more teams would all have to go .500 or worse while the Jays win 2 out of every 3 for the rest of the season. Could the Jays win 2 out of 3 the rest of the way? Sure, but will 4 solid teams suddenly all go .500 or worse a the same time? Nope. -
Espinal as the pinch hitter….what in the actual f***
-
f*** that. gurriel will walk and Palacios will hit a 2 run Jack. Said nobody….ever.
-
Offence, just not recently
-
The Tigers are about to….
-
Wow, bloop single into a HR….how is this real?
-
Im confused by that pitch sequencing. You just saw him have the worst swing imaginable on a fastball up and in that he barely got wood on and was horribly late, and you throw a curveball next when still 1-2. Why not go a bit further up and in and see if he chases again? Seems obvious he was sitting soft.
-
I applaud Vlad's weight loss in the last offseason, I hope he keeps up the trend and drops another 20 or so in this upcoming offseason. I have little doubt that fatigue is starting to creep into his game.
-
Glad to see Grichuk sitting, not excited to see his replacement is Palacios... but then again.. no other options at this time.
-
Palacios would be the only one that makes sense. He's about as nothing-burger as it gets and is pretty much the same profile as Dyson, speedy defensive CF who should never start a ball game.
-
Nothing mentioned in the post game notes, might have been a rain delay or something
-
Given his slash line this season, that's pretty accurate.
-
Bereavement list.
-
Nah, like I said its just good ol' fashioned attention whoring.
-
Precisely. If anything (especially for relievers) its more of a reason to get him up here the second he is ready, so he throws the majority of his healthy pitches for the big club before his next injury
-
You can't teach clutch because it's not a repeatable skill. It's moreso about mindset - not panicking, having a short memory and not putting too much pressure on yourself. It's possible to learn it from experience. That, and it helps to have a manager that would actually use the pen properly that doesn't keep giving away runs late in games.
-
Is there precedence for a pitcher like Hendriks... who 10 years ago averaged 91mph on his fastball, and is now averaging 98? Yeah, a move to the pen probably bumped it up a few, but even with the Jays out of the pen he only averaged 95. Whatever arm program he is on needs to find its way here.
-
The upcoming offseason is going to be the most important one in the Shatkins tenure. There's clear needs, 2 guys having career years that are FAs that are begging for extensions. I get the need to try and find those hidden gems in the pen, but I think this teams needs to get past that and really sink some money into proven talents. They don;t all have to be elite arms of course, but we can;t see another season of ******** guys like Dolis and the parade of replacement level garbage behind him. yes, injuries to Merriweather, Phelps and the guy they wanted to be the closer really hurt, but every team has pen injuries every year. It needs to be better. Hell, Merriweather is still 4th on the team in reliever war and he only pitched 4.1 innings, Phelps is 3rd after pitching 10 innings. Kinda tells you how much the rest of the pen sucks. #1 and 2 are Romano and Mayza. Cimber has been pretty much the only solid addition. Also, not that it needs to be said, but Montoyo has to go - that would improve the pen by 2 or 3 wins alone.
-
Following on gameday, why did Schneider get the boot?
-
It's Ryu, everything is soft. This is just one of those games where the soft tosser isn't getting swings and misses on the borderline stuff, and everything in the zone is being massacred.
-
Did you want to find a report that isn't 4 years old? Bichette's arm is definitely not a 40-50 at this point in time
-
This lineup does not make me tingle... Espinal is not a middle of the order hitter no matter what kind his avridge is.
-
Attention whoring from Sheryl Ring, who would've thought?
-
Sounds great. anytime a guy gets injured, that just excludes him from ever coming up again. Very simple and easy to manage plan
