  1. He's so wound up and nervous out there. He just won't be able to perform until he calms down. Taking wild hacks, horrible routes to the ball, etc.
  2. Pearson Fanboys are completely quiet after whining and crying about his demotion earlier this year
  3. Part of his problem is that the 3B/LF/2B types have been hitting okay. Factor in the "pinch hit penalty" where guys tend to hit worse as pinch hitters than they do otherwise, and there just isn't as big of a need to pinch hit with him. So now he's just rotting on the bench, not getting any reps, and then gets thrust into the lineup against a crafty veteran and looks like crap. If they are going to use the 26th man this little, just cut the guy loose and sign Billy Hamilton. He's 22 of 23 on steals attempts the last 3 years and can succeed as strictly a pinch runner.
  4. His spot on the team is questionable as is but they just do not put him in a position to succeed at all. He never plays, not even pinch hitting, and then they'll just randomly throw him in at the cleanup spot after not playing for two weeks. Under normal circumstances he probably is a decent option against Lugo, but it makes zero sense to expect him to produce as the cleanup hitter today.
  5. Fricking Sal Perez, gets a ground ball through the infield being in and talking s*** the hole time lol
  6. He's probably better than Buck IMO
  7. I love watching Bassit pitch Just looks miserable the whole time as he battles his pitchcom Kitchen sink arsenal allows him to blow 90 mph past guys
  8. I'd be tempted to start him Sunday against the Nats. We've got a ton of off days coming up so if he struggles we can go to the pen early and it shouldn't blow up our entire week.
  9. On top of this, our schedule seems like it's been pretty difficult so far. I bet the Stuff+ we have faced on the season is well above average. May's schedule looks far easier. 5 off days (compared to 3 in April) and 6 games against the White Sox. I bet the offense starts to look a lot better this month.
  10. I love how Vogelbach's butt is firmly planted on the bench as our 26th man. But when he does actually find his way into the lineup he's all of the sudden good enough to hit cleanup lol. It's got to be some sort of respect/deference thing to Vogelbach because it makes no sense otherwise. If he actually was good enough to bat cleanup he'd play more in a platoon and he'd be pinch hitting nearly every game but he doesn't. I suppose there could be something about Lugo's pitch mix that makes Vogelbach's bat play up?
  11. Yes I believe the April effect is a real thing but I think this April has been especially harsh on offense. Haven't seen any official numbers on that or anything but I have heard it mentioned.
  12. One thing about the offense that isn't getting mentioned is how depressed the offensive environment is right now. Jays have a .674 OPS and that's the 4th worst April in franchise history. But it's still good for a 98 wRC+.
  13. Not THAT upset about today's game tbh. Ragans was DEALING. 99 mph all game for him. Then the Royals used their two good relievers. Tomorrow we need to smack Lugo around though and win the series. Finally get some off days coming up.
  14. He's probably fine. His xwOBA is better than league average. He's mostly getting BABIP'd right now.
  15. You know he's going to try and throw fastballs by Turner
  16. Ragans is dealing tonight 98 mph on the corners
  17. Cy Manoah is back and the Jays rotation is going to be STACKED
  18. Manoah has 10 Ks and 0 ER through 5 innings now. Just 2 walks and 1 hit. Lukes is 3-3 with a 2B off Skenes.
  19. Holy s*** Manoah is going toe to toe with Paul Skenes right now. 7 Ks and 1 walk through 4 scoreless innings. He's ready.
  20. Huge game today which will determine if we end the month of April with a winning record or not. It really does feel like a must win for all the haters and losers who collectively make up the Debbie Downers of the board. It's going to be really hard for them to cry and whine about the "ship is sinking" while we sit in the thick of contention with a winning record despite all hell breaking lose to start the season. Team Not Panicking has a little bit of time left so not quite as must win for us.
  21. Adam Macko just turned 23 and is running a 3.20 FIP in AA. Call him up Mariners-style. He's ready.
  22. I think we are okay. 3 off days in the next 10 days after not having one for ~2 weeks will help. Yariel is probably nicked up but with all the off days coming up this IL stint is likely IP management as much as anything. I don't think he or Francis are injured that bad and both seem to be decent enough bulk pitcher guys who should be back soon. I suppose the team might thrust Manoah into the rotation but they wouldn't necessarily have to.
  23. Manoah vs. Skenes tonight in AAA. Do you believe in miracles?
