    Hopefully Springer plays tonight
  2. Terminator
    The Lauer fanboys must be tickled pink! Their boy is going to survive another turn through the rotation! Cease vs. Ranger Yesavage vs. Tolle (Berrios starting in Buffalo) Lauer v. Bello

    If we win we are in for the greatest summer of our lives If we lose it is death, despair and prospect gooning until the offseason In other words, this is a must win game
  5. Terminator
    Right now Corbin, Lauer and Scherzer are lined up to face the Red Sox in our next series. Hopefully we can get Yesavage in there for one of those games lol.
  6. Terminator
    With Yesavage and Berrios returning soon, this is a big start for both Max and Lauer. If Max deals we might have seen the last of Eric Lauer as a starting pitcher for the Jays. Might even be the last we see of him in a Jays uni period unless they are willing to option Mantiply who is throwing really well. If Max struggles, I could see an IL stint in his immediate future and it could buy Lauer some more time.

    Sounds like Springer could be back as soon as Saturday. Sunday or Monday seem more realistic. Barger shouldn't be too far behind but they might want to get him into some game action first. We'll probably get a good update tonight before the game.

    Gavin Williams vs. Scherzer Cantillo vs. Gausman Cecconi vs. Cease Tough matchup tonight but I like the other two a lot. The reinforcements are coming, it's probably series to series at this point. So let's win this series and then go on a run in May.

    Keys hitting left-handed and being able to play 3B gives him a great floor to work with. If he can hit at all he's at least a viable bench piece for a contender.

    Yeah it was one of those games where you get caught with your #5 on the hill and a taxed bullpen (bc we used our good relievers to win the previous 3) vs. their ace. You gotta rely on your B-team relievers or bank on your offense putting up some runs but either way it's an uphill battle of a game so I'm not that bothered by it. The Angels got 3 runs off a ball with an xBA of .060 that was perfectly placed down the line. I'm choosing to focus on the 3 game winning streak prior to last night's game which was a step in the right direction. Also, Barger, Springer, Yesavage and Berrios should all be back within a week or so. We are on to Cleveland.

    There's a good article on the front page regarding Yariel. He's changed his pitch mix to rely more on his splitter and less on his fastball. He's got 19 Ks in just 9.1 IP and has a 1.91 FIP. Usually just throws one inning a time though. Seems like he's strictly a reliever moving forward. The one time he did start he struck out 6 in 2.1 IP.
  12. Terminator
    "Stuff was pretty light today" Lmao Schneider absolutely HATES him Just trade him for whatever salary relief you can get
  13. Terminator
    I've been higher on him more than most during his Jays tenure. Something clearly going on with him. They said it was the flu and maybe he's just not finding his mechanics since then. But 88 mph is going to get crushed over the course of the season. Needs to get back up to 91.
  14. Terminator
    He looks horrible. His back is all taped up for some reason and he's sitting 88. His fastball is so crap that Statcast thinks it's a changeup. He's got 2 swings and misses the entire day. Thankfully he's getting by because it's the Angels but the dam might break at any moment.
  15. Terminator
    Lauer hitting 88 mph on his fastball today...
  16. Terminator
    If Lauer doesn't pitch well from here on out, what other choice will we have but to DFA him? The guy is a year removed from having to flee to Asia to continue his career and if everyone his healthy he's our #8-10th best SP. But I expect he'll be better, the projections say as much. And I think we can trade him. But it won't be for much. Jays fans need to get used to losing decent players for little to nothing. That's what happens when you have a good team and a 300+ million dollar payroll to plug any perceived holes each offseason. Decent players will get squeezed off the roster.

    If it comes down to Miles or Lauer for the long man role it would be General Manager malpractice to dump Miles and keep Lauer. If we can hang on to Miles for the year we'll have him under team control for a long time, and that will come with 2 option years. He'd be a good guy to stretch out in Buffalo and have as a depth starter moving forward. Lauer on the other hand will be a FA and won't be back.
  18. Terminator
    I wonder if Lauer could end up being traded with Yesavage and Berrios close to returning. If Gaus, Cease and Yesavage are locks, that leaves Berrios, Lauer, Corbin, and Scherzer for 2 spots. And we also have Bieber waiting in the wings. Maybe the Padres would be a good fit?
  19. Terminator
    It's downright remarkable. Worst combination of speed and decision making I've ever seen until he's on 2B and there's a single. Then he somehow turns into Rickey Henderson out there. Stop signs be damned, he's going for it and it works out almost every single time. That slide last night was a beauty. Barely slowed down at all while making it almost impossible to get a good tag on him.
  20. Terminator
    I've been trying to figure out this Sosa acquisition ever since we got him and I think I might have found something. He's played in 6 games as a Blue Jays so far and 2 of them featured him as a pinch hitter. He's 2-2 pinch hitting as a Jay and both hits were huge in securing us the win. I think they like him, especially as a pinch hitter, because he can hit high velo. Here's his career xBA depending on the pitch velo. 96 mph and below = .264 xBA 97 and above = .281 xBA 98 and above = .321 xBA 99 and above = .366 xBA 100 and above = .271 xBA 101 and above = .333 xBA The league average xBA on pitches thrown 99 mph or greater is .185. For pitches thrown 101 mph it's .104. This man is a psychopath. He has no business hitting high velo this well. Is Ross cooking here?
  21. Terminator
    That's two good starts in a row for Corbin and I think we can excuse his first one since his only warm up was one start in Dunedin. Yesavage and Berrios are both close to returning and if everyone is healthy it will be interesting to see what they do. I'm not sure that Berrios, Scherzer, or Lauer are better than Corbin right now.
  22. Terminator
    I like the Murray comp. And like Murray, Vlad has a shot at 500 homers and 300 hits. Needs to average about 24 homers and 136 hits a year over the course of his contract in order to get there.
  23. Terminator
    Agreed, although they are both getting BABIP'd a little bit. Especially Schreck.
  24. Terminator
    Why is that?
  25. Terminator
    Both are now running so hopefully they are back in the next week or two? Good point on Sosa. The PTBNL/cash considerations part of that trade may factor in his performance and how long he's on the team anyway. Dump him and we are out a 13th rounder that hasn't even debuted yet. So it's probably Sosa and Eloy if no one else gets hurt. I wouldn't be surprised if we see some phantom injuries too, aka the Dodgers special.
