    Problem is all that junk is waste. Not stuff anyone will swing at. Needs to be more in the chase zone

    Yea this was my worry at the outset. Trying to include everyone and being too damn nice instead of doing what is necessary to win. I was hopeful after they sat Berrios and Scherzer, but seems like that was purely for injury/rest reasons. Our starters are much better than the pen with their insane walk rates. Should be running the starters to 100 pitches and using Lauer/Bassitt. They were both way better than our pen on a per inning basis while having to throw more innings

    Yea it's really weird that they don't use Lauer or Bassitt. You know, two of our few pitchers with a WAR above zero on the season Could they be injured because it's nonsense usage so far

    Our bullpen is all kinda the same though. All around 4-5 BB/9 on the season. This doesn't cut it unless you have like Yesavage level of K rate I do wonder if the velocity chasing has reached it's limit
  6. Nexii
    Well, elite relievers are kinda overpriced but at the same time we did spend much more on the pen and didn't even get that. A weird season. Acquisitions all sucked while all the returning players had amazing years.

    It's a competition for who gets to be the jobber for the Dodgers
  8. Nexii
    Our whole bullpen is of this make. Wild with very high BB rates. It's why they're all average at best. I still remember posting those laughable monthly numbers where they were all around 9BB/9 Lauer probably would have been better, or perhaps Bassitt. I guess JS had other options to avoid the big inning

    Too many Jays relievers with serious control issues. Sometimes they come up and throw pitch after pitch in the waste zone. It's unlike anything I've ever seen Was the case a lot of the season too :/. High BB rate will get you every time
  10. Nexii
    Did someone hypnotize Vlad into believing that the Mariners are the Yankees?
  11. Nexii
    Gotta bring out Carter if we make it to 6
  12. Nexii
    No they just said that the ball was out of play. It seemed so strange we even had to challenge it. Rules interpretations are challenges? It was obvious what happened on the field of play
  13. Nexii
    The problem is elite relievers command such a premium when considering IP/WAR. We really need to develop more relievers within. And it's not like Hoffman and Garcia are cheap..
  14. Nexii
    Everyone in the Jays pen is just kinda average so they aren't going to deplete. That said Yesavage from 70-100 is probably better than anyone they could bring in
  15. Nexii
    They don't have any elite ones to trust. Just a bunch of average arms
  16. Nexii
    Don't agree with the IBB on Raleigh. Not with zero outs and tie game. Pretty much this happens more than the GIDP
  17. Nexii
    I felt like it was payback lol
  18. Nexii
    I mean it's possible but I feel like Yesavage might have given a bit more context if that were so. Whereas with gambling they can't say anything negative when they are such a big sponsor. Also, other players and their families have faced this kind of harassment over gambling losses. Also possible that it's some of both. Yesavage was trash talking Boston a bit if I recall. But if I had to bet on it, mostly gambling (pun intended)
  19. Nexii
    Common narrative is that it's 99% gambling degenerates. It's happening more often to all players as online gambling becomes more prolific. MLB and the gambling sites need to sink some of those billions back into enforcement to ban for harassment. And prop bets especially should just be banned outright.
  20. Nexii
    Yea the narratives are always brainless. Most of the time you win with 3 runs given up. If you could give the other team 3 runs each game to not bat at all you would do that without a second thought If you score 3 runs it's about 37% odds to win. So pitching gave the Jays a good shot at 63%
  21. Nexii
    I'm not that surprised with Scherzer over Nance. He's had some rest so it's possible he's back to where he was at for earlier starts. Doesn't sound like Bassitt can pitch more than 4 IP, so wouldn't be surprised to see Scherzer for 3 IP in game 4
  22. Nexii
    If we can quantify 'Stuff' and we can measure actual pitching outcomes, isn't that enough to identify tipping? That is, anyone with a very large gap between the two would likely be doing so?
  23. Nexii
    Had a feeling that the Jays were going to win in 4... Hard to explain why or how Always felt like Bassitt would be a better matchup. Better control, too many of our pitchers just get behind
  24. Nexii
    Both teams are slugging teams with mediocre pitching. I expected high scoring but not quite this
  25. Nexii
    Yea I don't see a world where he starts game 5 over Gausman. The commentators seemed to indicate so but that seems bad for rest
