    If Horowitz could play a passable LF and they still decided to sign Kiermaier, then that makes that decision even more egregious. More likely Horowitz is a 1B/DH only which makes his path on this team a lot more difficult unless they trade Vlad between now and the start of 2025. I don’t think Horowitz is going to last as a 1B/DH with limited power. Maybe his other strengths are so good that it can compensate but that seems like a long shot. Wouldn’t mind him getting a shot though. Would have been fine if he could cover the OF. Maybe they should do it anyway and just deal with the bad defense. Varsho has been like a sub 80 wRC+ player since the trade and KK is closing in on his mid 30s so a decline there wouldn’t be shocking. They don’t even play Schneider everyday but Horowitz has the offensive skill set they seem to like so they’d probably be more patient with him.

    Jansen starting instead of Kirk is going to be incredible (for however long it lasts).

    Yeah with Green and Richards unavailable it was not looking good once Garcia was done. Mayza, Cabrera, White, Espino (I think). Jays were probably losing this game regardless once that Clement ball didn't drop.
  4. glory
    Yeah this game is over.
  5. glory
    Relievers are volatile year to year. I think Mayza is a casualty of that. He looked like s*** in ST and it's carrying over. I probably would have had more faith in Mitch White starting the inning.

    Of course Polanco picks today to actually play defense.
  7. glory
    Crazy that they had DS running instead of IKF.
  8. glory
    Wow, Jimi looks amazing so far.
  9. glory
    Gilbert does better against LHB than RHB so not sure why KK/Varsho are batting this inning.
  10. glory
    Any chance Danny Jansen can just rehab in the Majors? I don't think I can watch much more of Kirk playing 95% of the time at catcher.

    Nice to see Vlad hitting a monster HR.
  12. glory
    Agreed. If he wasn't the return for Moreno, then I might expect them to act rationally with him, but chances are they'll just stick him out there and hope something clicks even when he's been like a sub 80 wRC+ player since the trade.
  13. glory
    A bottom 5 of Biggio, Kirk, KK, Clement, and Varsho have negative pop. You can't even hope for a HR with this group if the first 4 hitters don't do anything.

    This seems like a really good deal for the Jays, Parsons is 31 and stinks, and more international money is always a good thing. With that said, it's the Guardians, so Parsons probably going to dominate now.
  15. glory
    I know they have no intention of using him in this role, but Varsho should have been the backup catcher until Jansen gets back. They already have a great defensive CF, and Varsho is miscast as a LF offensively anyway so the club is better off with Schneider in LF. Seems more logical than an already overweight dude having to catch everyday because the current backup wouldn’t start on an independent league team.

    115 pitches on the 3rd start of the season does seem a little excessive. The Jays have been pretty good at limiting pitch counts for starters so this was very uncharacteristic. Would be interested to hear the reason, unless the pen has a bunch of guys that aren't available or something.
  17. glory
    Surprised Bassitt is still in this game.
  18. glory
    I think I'm fine with Biggio in there for now. It's really IKF who should be playing less in favor of Clement, as I don't think there is a huge gap there defensively, and offensively Clement might be able to BABIP his way to decent numbers while IKF is what he is. Either way, DS absolutely should be starting everyday, so I'll take that tiny consolation for now.
  19. glory
    DS starting in LF against a RHP for the second night in a row. Is JS feeling ok?
  20. glory
    Only for tonight. I’d imagine if there’s a righty on the mound tomorrow, it will be back to the KK/Varsho outfield with Schneider on the bench. But Varsho as a 4th OF is probably a reasonable way to use him at this point. Not good for optics though.
  21. glory
    Not watching the game, but if the crowd is booing JS, then they have earned my respect.
  22. glory
    Yeah, Clement instead of IKF, and that's probably their best lineup based on what's available on the roster. At this point I think KK might be a better hitter than Varsho, which is disappointing, but it is what it is.
  23. glory
    IKF is going to get 600 plate appearances this season. Atkins deserves what he gets.
  24. glory
    Serven isn't a big leaguer. He's barely a minor leaguer. Not sure how he made the team even with the Jansen injury.
  25. glory
    I really don't see Varsho being a plus 100 wRC+ player again. I don't know how he did it in Arizona. Maybe the org did something to his approach/swing but he's looked awful for well over a year now.
