    Wow, Jimi looks amazing so far.
  2. glory
    Gilbert does better against LHB than RHB so not sure why KK/Varsho are batting this inning.
  3. 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.
  4. glory
    Nice to see Vlad hitting a monster HR.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. glory
    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.
  8. 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.
  10. glory
    Surprised Bassitt is still in this game.
  11. 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.
  12. glory
    DS starting in LF against a RHP for the second night in a row. Is JS feeling ok?
  13. 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.
  14. glory
    Not watching the game, but if the crowd is booing JS, then they have earned my respect.
  15. 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.
  16. glory
    IKF is going to get 600 plate appearances this season. Atkins deserves what he gets.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. glory
    Today's lineup: RF Springer 1B Vlad SS Bo 3B Turner DH Vogelbach 2B Clement LF Varsho CA Serven CF Kiermaier
  20. glory
    The fact that they are 2-2 in their last 4 games given how they've hit is a damn miracle. Pitching as expected is going to be the key to how this season goes. Basically need a repeat of 2023 in the aggregate and then hope for either internal development offensively or more realistically a bunch of trades at the deadline.
  21. glory
    The options are Serven and Vogelbach. So option 1 is another catcher who probably doesn't provide much difference in speed, and option 2 is the only athlete on earth that might be slower than Kirk. Really don't understand the point of Vogelbach being on this roster if he's playing 1 game in 8 days. Just put Lukes in that spot you at least have a pinch runner.
  22. glory
    Might be time to call up AJ Preller and make a logical Vlad trade.
  23. glory
    The sad thing is, if they told IKF that he was going to be a utility bench player moving forward, he'd probably be fine with it. Not his fault they want to give him 600 PA for some reason. Kiermaier seems like he'd have an ego given how great of a defensive CF he was/is, but f*** it, start DS and Clement together and have IKF/KK off the bench. Perfectly reasonable set up.
  24. glory
    Clement and Schneider trying to save this season like 2023.
  25. glory
    I think I would have respected Atkins’ off season more if he just went with internal options after he struck out on Ohtani. He could have still signed Turner or whoever at DH since that DH market had a big supply, but going internal with LF/3B made more sense than what they ended up doing. It was a bad FA market. Don’t spend for the sake of spending. Just go out and say “we trust our development process and believe in our young players”, and then stick Schneider in LF and Barger at 3B, or whatever. If it failed then at least you failed with a logical process.
