    and right on queue, a hangy slider. More of those please.

    Might be a long night if Schlitter keeps painting 98 on the edges.

    Centre cut 95... not the ideal location Mr Scherzer lol
  4. John_Havok
    About time they chucked him to Buffalo...totally missed that. lol

    I hope the beating is so bad Pina gets into the game. Granted that would need to be about a 10-run lead in the 7th or 8th to feel even remotely comfortable with that gas can....

    Just a point of debate... If it makes sense to save Y-Rods arm and Little's arm in a high leverage game in high leverage innings, does it also not make sense to save the SP's arm given that he has to throw far more innings for the remainder of the year and then even more again into the playoffs? Understand I'm not saying one way or the other which is "right" ... just wondering how you arrive at the conclusion that saving pen arms is preferrable to saving the SP arm who's in his mid 30's with a TON of mileage on his arm?

    Oh...you did
  8. John_Havok
    You can say that again

    Not sure on Barreira... still fresh off injury and repeating rookie level. It would be a pretty big achievement for him to make Vancouver next season let alone AA or AAA. But even then. Vancouver has a chance to have a pretty good rotation too if Barreira, Maroudis, King etc all get there. Fernando Perez too?

    Hasn't been an update on his progress since June. His surgery was July 30, 2024 so any kind of return to ball this season would be pretty optimistic at this point I think the last formal update had him throwing on flat ground from 120 feet
  11. John_Havok
    and hopefully Scherzer doesn't schuck
  12. John_Havok
    Oh yeah for sure, just thought you'd have included the long man in your pen list. Right now id guessing would be Berrios ... but Lauer could be as well depending on the situation
  13. John_Havok
    There's no David Price type on the market .... yet
  14. John_Havok
    Just really missing a true long man really. We also don't know when Sandlin will be back yet. What the Jays really need is some of the bubble teams to decide if they're sellers or not. Aside from Bednar and a few arms from Baltimore, a ton of the quality relievers are on those bubble teams...Cleveland, Minnesota etc

    Agree on Soto, and Dominguez is actually a really intriguing arm from a stuff standpoint. He misses a ton of bats but walks more than his share amd limits hard contact. He might be a decent Pete Walker special, though id rather see him as an offseason acquisition than a "down-the-stretch" thing where ya try to fix him on the fly.

    Maybe you hadn't heard...Seranthony throws a splitter.
  17. John_Havok
    I truly don't think anyone's in the FO is counting on Manoah, and his status makes no difference as to their deadline plans As the roster stands today, Gausman probably gets game 1, then Bassitt/Scherzer games 2 and 3 in whatever order with Lauer on standby to pick up after any one of them if they get booted early
  18. John_Havok
    Good news then. Trade deadline awaits
  19. John_Havok
    Please tell me Schittler's first name is Adolf
  20. John_Havok
    Just win series! Winning game 1 is a great recipe for that
  21. John_Havok
    Problem with trading Skenes, or anyone like him, you virtually never win the trade. He's already the best case scenario outcome for anyone you get back. Skenes wont be dealt yet, but if Pittsburgh was even mildly in the mood to do it ... Yesavage, Nimmala, Rojas, Roden, Stephen.... thats probably closer to what a realistic return might be, but still feels light given how much control he has left.
  22. John_Havok
    Im sure they were right there at the end. Im not suggesting the Jays shouldn't have paid it, just that its a pile of guaranteed cash for a guy on the wrong side of 40. I'd have liked to see his signi g at the start of the year with incentives that got up to his 10 million demand rather than a guaranteed amount
  23. John_Havok
    assess after his 30 days. I wonder though was it normal for his sinker to be harder than his 4 seam? But the good thing is he still has option years so he doesnt have to solve any problems this season either way. He could spend the rest of the season in Buffalo, maybe hit winter ball for a few weeks, then come back in the spring.
  24. John_Havok
    No doubt. If hed signed for his requested 10 million at the start of the season hed be owed around 3.5 million for the remainder of this season. 6 million is very steep
  25. John_Havok
    Side note, Peyton "the Iowa Meat Truck" Williams has been sent to the developmental list. He's having a rough time in AA with just an 86 wRC+ and a 31% K rate. Hopefully they can get him back on track.
