  1. Schneider is horrendous with bullpen usage. It’s mind boggling. I wouldn’t try to find logic here.
  2. Agreed. The O’s didn’t have to trade anyone to accommodate prospects and they do a great job spreading the playing time around. We are seeing the same boring s*** night after night with the same guys. At the minimum, Schneider (the prospect, not fat boy in the dugout) needs to be called up.
  3. Using Hicks tonight so that when they need him tomorrow and Thursday, his arm will be fully accustomed to John Schneider’s workload.
  4. Man did Schneider really intentionally walk Hays to get to Henderson? I don’t know what the splits say, maybe the stats say it makes sense, but that looks kinda foolish.
  5. 4D chess by the Jays to start Ryu against the Orioles rather than the Angels who are worse and have a bunch of LHB in their lineup.
  6. If Schneider gets called up and plays a fair amount then I’m cool with this. Disappointed but at least we’d get to see a prospect who might be decent. If it’s status quo, then ********.
  7. Damn I thought I knew the Jays farm system, but that name is new to me.
  8. Bassitt had a horrendous first start of the season, but since then he has a 3.48 ERA (4.20 FIP) in 129 innings. You could argue that they overpaid for what he is, but he's mostly been fine this season.
  9. Yeah if Barger is even a below average SS option defensively (but not terrible) then he’d be my choice, but I doubt that’s even a consideration if Bo has to miss significant time. It will almost certainly be a vetrin.
  10. I could see them trading Teoscar but just not sure why they’d trade him to the Jays when that’s the team they have have the best shot of catching for a playoff spot but Jerry loves making trades.
  11. Yeah the Jays seem to have no interest in using prospects to fill big league holes or get them PA’s during this competitive window. Last position player prospect that they called up and used a lot was probably Kirk in 2020. Granted they haven’t developed one that was worth playing since then aside from Moreno who was blocked by 2 catchers, but I don’t see the Jays being that type of org anyway. The Orioles don’t even have injuries aside from Mullins, but they call up prospects and cycle playing time between them and existing players. The Jays doing something like that with Schneider, Barger, etc, seems pretty unlikely.
  12. The Mariners are 3 games back of the Jays for the WC. Not sure why they’d trade Teoscar to a team they are trying to catch. He’s not having a good season but still fills a need for the Jays and he could easily get hot for 2 months.
  13. Umpiring sucked but the Jays offense is still ass, and it will only look worse if Bo is out. They need to add hitting.
  14. Stuff like that hurts the game. They fixed the pace and the time of games, fix the damn umpiring.
  15. It's a team option with a $1m buyout. So if the Jays got him, worst case he stinks, and you pay him $1m to go away. If he rebounds then maybe you consider picking up the option and putting him at 2B in 2024. But all of this is premature as we don't know what is up with Bichette yet.
  16. That noise you hear is Tim Anderson’s music.
  17. The key with Atkins is going to be whether he can both maximize the team’s current window and sustain it beyond 2025. I’m more skeptical about the latter than the former, but now the Jays actually have legit position player options in AAA who are performing well and could fill 2024-beyond holes at the big league level. Whether those players will be used to fill big league holes next season or used in trades in the next 24 hours is the question. Atkins’ track record with trading prospects is pretty good so if he does trade someone who looks interesting then he has earned the benefit of the doubt but he’s going to need to hit on prospects for the Jays more often now.
  18. Did MiLB.com make a mistake or did Spencer Horowitz actually start at 2B today?
  19. I don't trust Schneider to handle a bullpen effectively, but a potential late inning group with Romano, Hicks, Green, and Swanson, with Richards, Mayza, and Jimi in the middle innings is pretty nice. Not sure how they are going to juggle things when Green and Ryu get back. If they are doing a 6 man rotation, then they'll only be able to carry 7 RP's. Pearson, Cabrera, and Jackson all have options so demoting them is probably the end result. Of course, permitting health and effectiveness. As far as the trade, I think Kloff is a non prospect, but Sem is a tough loss for a team that has traded actual prospects for depth SP's in the past. They need to develop SP depth at some point, even if they are low ceiling. Ultimately I get why they did it. They desperately need a bat though, so let's see what happens. I think Pham is a real possibility.
  20. Curious to see what the Jays gave up.
  21. Maybe Belt needed a day, but if he was healthy then no reason Biggio should have batted there. Annoying loss since it was a winnable game.
  22. Thankfully they used Garcia yesterday when they needed him so he can come in for the 3rd game in a row today.
