  1. Losing by three and you ask one of your best players, the leadoff man, to bunt. Lol
  2. A lot that made Pedroia annoying is he was a f***ing pest and did a lot of things right/well on the field, plus the rat face. Odor is f***ing awful at being a Major Leaguer but yet he's totally hateable in every single facet. I think it's the latter and it isn't close.
  3. How the f*** did Kirk make it home.
  4. First of all, Manoah 2022 > 2021 both because he's pitched a lot more starts/innings and he's been better overall. Gausman ~ Ray is debatable but a reasonable claim, so actually 2021 Ray/Manoah < 2022 Gausman/Manoah. Stripling has basically been equivalent to one of Ryu/Matz from last season, if not better on a rate basis (he'll pitch fewer innings though which definitely factors in) so not sure why you're discounting him. Obviously Kikuchi has been worse than bad and Berrios has not compared to himself a season ago, but he still projects well/to career norms so it shouldn't be assumed that he'll be a zero going forward ROS. White hasn't even been that bad, an inflated ERA aside - don't see that .380 BABIP being sustainable, so he also shouldn't be discounted as not contributing to the depth.
  5. I was gonna pick him up but the power numbers in the minors were kind of uninspiring, so despite the prospect pedigree I just went with Eguy Rosario instead. With that said, I think he's been pegged as a guy that's a swing change away from becoming a really valuable asset, his GB rate is gross. Already has one 110 mph batted ball in the MLB so the raw power is there. Good pickup for Spanky.
  6. I have it on good authority from Ross Atkins that actually he plans to blow the team up for 2023 and run a Pirates like rebuild.
  7. Swing and miss out of the bullpen strikes again. Ross is laughing right now.
  8. Tony Bass says: you called?
  9. I think he's just a little showboaty about. Like he's so good at playing CF he gets bored of it and does some extra stuff for the hell of it.
  10. Velocity? Idk I agree he should be there.
  11. Berrios has 12 swings and misses on 74 pitches. That's more like it.
  12. Kirk with the WHEELS, busting it down the line.
  13. Awesome quote. To answer your question, most of them probably? Here's Stripling's for 2022: https://www.fangraphs.com/players/ross-stripling/13273/splits?position=P&season=2022 You can see if you scroll down the Jays have only allowed him 8 IP a third time through, compared to 40 and 36 the first two times. If you split it by career you'll see he gets completely shelled historically the third time through.
  14. If he knew where his fastball was going he wouldn't be f***ing around with 3-0 sliders lol.
  15. This is Miguel Sano as an amateur. This is Miguel Sano in the minors. http://images.thepostgame.com/assets/public/AP13032106500_BP.jpg Miguel Sano as a 23 year old in his second full MLB season:
  16. Is Sano even a cautionary tale as a hitting prospect? I don't think Sano is out of the league because he can't hit or the high Ks caught up to him, as he has a career 115 wRC+, it's that he ballooned in size significantly from his time in the minors and became a full time DH, and that's where the good-not-great offensive output cost him. The defensively adept version of Miguel Sano is Joey Gallo and he's been a very valuable player in his MLB career. If Orelvis is somewhere in between those guys as an ~80 power, high Ks guy with a good defensive home the Blue Jays are taking that every time in the developmental process. Now, he may not be either of those, because it's true that both had much better success as 20 year olds in AA and higher prospect pedigrees than Orelvis seems to have. But my point is, so what if he's Miguel Sano offensively? Couple that guy with even passable SS defense or say, above-average 3B and that's a very valuable player under cheap team control.
  17. Jays have the 6th highest clutch score by fangraphs, 9th highest batting average with RISP.
  18. I mean, maybe Benintendi was expecting a fastball after they just threw him a pitch which he crushed. The game theory of pitching and hitting just isn't that straightforward. Maybe Benintendi was looking fastball away to crush but instead adjusted easily enough to breaking ball down the middle.
  19. I don't think slider down the pipe is what Kirk had in mind with that pitch call.
  20. Probably as long as he keeps the offense to the fifth best hitting in the MLB.
  21. If you only watched that last inning you would think Manoah was unhittable all game. And he pretty much was, just wild for portions of it. He really cranked it up a notch when he knew he was coming out of the game after this inning.
  22. BABIP luck has been in the shitter this game. Team xBA is .305 to Yankees' .186 but getting nothing to show for it.
  23. Manoah in his usual fashion has been a bit wild but ultimately pretty dominant. He's just such an uncomfortable at-bat for hitters. Only knock on him about his performance today (erratic command aside) has been the efficiency, he could push 6 innings but that's only if he gets some quick outs over the next two.
