    Chapman since May 1 has a 82 wRC+ and 1.2 WAR in 454 PA. He had an incredible April (2.0 WAR in April alone) but he’s been s*** ever since. At this point you’re hoping he rejects the QO. Thankfully Boras is his agent so he will likely reject it regardless.

    Yeah if anything they aren’t pulling the ball enough. Seems like an org philosophy because even vetrins like Springer are focusing more on hitting the ball to center/the other way. Jansen and Babe are the only hitters who seem to pull.

    Pitching to Judge defies logic. Their lineup is ass.
  4. glory
    Jays are trying to be the 2015 Royals with heavy BABIP emphasis and a strong bullpen. JS being Ned Yost isn't much of a stretch either. But yeah it’s kind of irresponsible at this point not to play Babe. He’s one of the few HR threats in the entire roster, and even with the regression (which was bound to happen) he’s still putting up great numbers. Not sure what they expect from Whit specifically that’s going to help more than Davis can, aside from some singles that find holes.

    Unfortunately, Davis Schneider had to keep a Barry Bonds on roids pace in order to stay in the lineup. Any regression was going to lead right back to the vetrins getting his playing time.

    1 Springer RF 2 Bichette SS 3 Guerrero Jr. 1B 4 Belt DH 5 Biggio 2B 6 Kirk C 7 Chapman 3B 8 Merrifield LF 9 Kiermaier CF Tonight's lineup. Looks like Babe Schneider lost his starting spot with his recent cold streak/regression.
  7. glory
    Yeah, Vlad draws that walk, and it's 1-0 Jays with the bases loaded, Biggio up (who has a great eye), and King struggling with his command. Could have been a completely different game. Or maybe it stays 1-0 and Romano blows it anyway. Who knows.

    Jays hitters are powerless slap hitters at home but are actually decent offensively on the road. All Wild Card games are on the road. They may not look this bad in a playoff setting, although I guess folding under pressure can happen anywhere.
  9. glory
    Schneider being 0 for his last 30 or whatever it is still has better AB's than Chapman.
  10. glory
    Ump has been s*** on both sides but the Vlad one hurt since it cost the Jays at least a run. I’m telling Vlad in the dugout to not change a thing. Don’t swing at balls and potentially mess up the groove you are in. Just have to hope the Jays can pull it out. Umps will change game to game.

    Baltimore’s owner finding out he has to spend $30m on one player would make his head explode. Doubt they’d acquire Soto. Seattle makes sense.
  12. glory
    Not sure what Preller was smoking last winter. The Xander deal and the Machado + Darvish + Cronenworth extensions seemed so unnecessary at the time, and even more so now knowing they'll be losing Snell and Hader this winter, plus Soto and Kim a year from now. With that said, a trade for Soto to pair with Vlad/Bo in 2024 would be pretty cool.

    The Jays will definitely need to hit more home runs if they make the playoffs and expect to advance. Needing 3-4 hits in order to score in a station to station variety isn’t going to work against good teams, at least not often. They’ll need Vlad, Bo, and Springer specifically to hit more dingers. This is where losing Jansen and Belt really hurt, especially Jansen since the difference between him and Kirk is basically a power hitter vs a slap hitter.

    Winning 2/3 at the Trop in what could have been a sweep? That was a turn I was not expecting.
  15. glory
    High leverage Jimi strikes again.
  16. glory
    Haven't read anything, but I would assume Swanson and Hicks are available today, so I would hope they give Romano the day off (especially with the finger issue).
  17. glory
    I like the idea of Houston missing the playoffs entirely, so that’s what I’m rooting for.
  18. glory
    Rangers win, so that helps the Jays. Still 1.5 games up on the Mariners. Royals about to choke to the Astros but them winning 1 in the series is already better than I expected.
  19. glory
    Yes that or bring in Mayza to face Lowe. JS has never been a good in game decision maker, sadly.
  20. glory
    Romano is not the issue. Using him in a 1 run game in the 9th is justified regardless of what happens. However, that doesn’t apply if he’s injured/compromised, and the coaching staff knew about it 24 hours earlier, and still decided to use him. That borders on inexcusable.
  21. glory
    Lowe has a 54 wRC+ against LHP this season, and Romano clearly had something up with his finger. Baffling that Mayza wasn’t used there.
  22. glory
    Have a bad feeling about this but hope for the best.
  23. glory
    I like how Buck called Romano’s finger issue before the first hit but the Jays don’t seem to care.
  24. glory
    This is why winning last night was so big.
  25. glory
    In a WC series it would be Gausman/Berrios/Bassitt, and in a 5-7 game series, Kikuchi would follow Bassitt. You can certainly make an argument that Kikuchi could be the #3 guy but I don’t think there’s any chance the Jays actually consider that if everyone is healthy.
