  1. Fisher very unsharp today. Hanging all his breaking balls and the Giants are sitting all over it
  2. its a minor miracle Melvin hasnt lost his s*** today
  3. Weird call by Melvin to not have taken Ray out prior to this inning. His pitch count was way high, really battling through these last few innings.... and the 2, 3, 4 coming up that all hit LHP well and have been hot.
  4. LOL Vladdy with a ball MURDERED with an .880 expected hit. Out.
  5. Did Ramos get traded to the Jays before the series and he just forgot to switch jerseys?
  6. Anyone think the O's would unload O'Hearn?
  7. This ump is maddeningly inconsistent for both teams.
  8. I agree. They actually talk about things like launch angle, seem to be fairly unbiased and recognize when their guy gets a call and ours don't. Kinda refreshing.
  9. no doubt, that was horribly played and again, one of those that should really be called an error but it never is.
  10. I think this because it would be a benefit in the playoffs, how many times do we see games 5-7 in a series and the hitters are seeing the same relievers for the 3rd or even 4th times? That's not a good scenario. To my thinking it's better to have at least 6 guys you trust in nearly every situation; not quite 6 "closers" as that would really difficult to pull off, but 6 guys where you can mix and match at your leasure without overusing them. Plus, with only 4 starters being used, you get that extra arm in the pen anyways. Of course there will always be the top 1 or 2, but keeping the other team from seeing them multiple times in a series is definitely a good thing.
  11. They'd have to add more pen arms if we want to run without an ace, which, barring some crafty brilliance from Atkins, seems very likely. Going into the playoffs hypothetically with a troupe of starters that have to have quick hooks and the pen becomes that much more important. Right now I think the leverage guys are Hoffman, Little and Yariel at the top along with Yimi (if he comes back). Fisher is earning his way up there too, but not quite there yet. Green, Bruihl and Nance are the clear bottom 3 right now and as much as we hate it, Green is still gonna be used as if he's in the top tier. He's not getting traded either. Pina is a DFA waiting to happen. Adding 1 top shelf reliever DFAs Pina and gives them 5 pen guys they're not really afraid to use at any time. Adding 2 would be ideal imo. Bruihl can ge demoted, and use some 40 man guys in the trades to keep that even.
  12. Yup, RHH are going to see a steady diet of sinkers and sweepers with some changeups , LHH get the added fun of a cutter and even more changeups
  13. I feel for any SP the Jays trade for. The casuals will all expect him to be the missing piece of a championship team, be the best ace in the history of aces and anything less is "fire atkins"
  14. Its not that I personally am writing him off, just that his skilkset is somewhat redundant on the Jays right now, others have passed him by, and he could be a piece that helps net the Jays what they need for this season and beyond.
  15. I'm sure you're mostly right, but even so, Peeples being the contingency plan likely accepts the 1.7 if Bullard didn't. With the smaller signing windows, the math on slots is relatively easy to workout ahead of time for any organization.
  16. If the Pirates are listening on Bednar...... sign me up for Roden being the return. I honestly wouldn't think twice about it.
  17. Cant ask for much more coming out of the break. Bassitt went 6.1, gave up some hits but no walks. No damage. Pen was lights out with 7 out of 8 outs total via the K and again, no walks.
