    Kluber is hittable but if we are getting Bad Berrios tonight then it may not matter.

    Brian Cashman is like 0-for-100 in trades/signings over the past 12-18 months. He basically went into this season doing nothing with their offense aside from incorporating Volpe into the lineup. He added no depth, stuck with sunk cost like Hicks/Donaldson instead of upgrading the margins, and practically every pitchers he's acquired over that span has gotten hurt. I think the Yankees will be fine once (or if) they get healthy, but with the Orioles being good now, I'm not sure they have much room for error. Thankfully for the Jays, the Steinbrenner kids are big believers in cronyism, so Cashman probably has this same job until he's 73.

    Yeah if they wanted KK in CF then they could have replaced Espinal and moved Merrifield to 2B. You can't assume the Jays would never have to bat again, and Merrifield is a much better bat than Espinal at this point.
  4. glory
    Hopefully this is not a save situation late as Schneider probably licking his chops to use Swanson and Romano again.
  5. glory
    Schneider definitely going to get ejected today, but it would be warranted if he gives the umpire the earful he deserves.
  6. glory
    I think what's more annoying is that you know Gonzales will get those same pitches called strikes.
  7. glory
    Yeah apparently Arte doesn’t want to be known as “the guy who traded Ohtani” so instead of getting players who could help his team in 2024 beyond, he will take the comp pick and watch the team sink even further.
  8. glory
    Kirk and Merrifield better be in the lineup tomorrow.
  9. glory
    If Schneider was managing the Mariners, McGee would have been taken out after 5.

    Benching two of the hottest hitters on the team on the same day probably wasn't a good idea. Lineup balance is kinda pointless when you have guys like Belt who can't catch up to 89 anymore, and Varsho who is struggling big time. At least I would expect Varsho to improve eventually, not sure about Belt.

    That half inning was awful by the top 3.
  12. glory
    Whit's days off are probably a combination of giving him more rest during the year due to age + Schneider having a history with Biggio and him/the org wanting to see if Cavan can turn things around. Schneider's bullpen usage is questionable, but he's been pretty reasonable with lineup decisions (unlike Buntoyo).
  13. glory
    The Jays have no SP depth beyond their starting 5, and Schneider is going to run RP’s into the ground if he doesn’t get a long man to give him length out of the pen. White will have a role here. Bass is likely gone soon, and either Pop/Pearson probably going down due to their options.

    One of the better fan rants you will hear on a radio show.

    The Rays are 2-4 against the only good teams they have faced this season. Of course they face the White Sox next.
  16. glory
    Samad Taylor has potential, and hopefully he gets a shot with the Royals at some point, but yeah that's looking like a sneaky good trade in hindsight. Merrifield clearly has something left in the tank, and has basically been playing like a ~3 WAR player since the trade. He's been a huge pickup given that Espinal looks more like a utility IF and there's a good chance Biggio stinks. There's no way the Jays pick up that 2024 option, but wouldn't shock me at all if they brought Merrifield back on a multi year deal assuming both sides are interested. Not like the internal options on the Jays for 2B or 3B look promising right now with Chapman's impending free agency. They could use the depth/insurance. Still a lot of season left though, so a lot can change.
  17. glory
    Biggio pinch hitting for Springer can't be good.
  18. glory
    When you see who owns the White Sox, it probably shouldn’t be a huge surprise. I hate the Rays with a passion but they just signed Franco to a massive deal before he had a year of service. I mean that deal is still going to be a steal for them but $182m guaranteed is a big commitment for a team like that.
  19. glory
    We will see how Pearson looks once he gets Schneider'd and pitches 3 games in 4 nights for the first time, but seeing 100 coming out of the pen is exciting.
  20. glory
    Someone tell Schneider it is 7-0, he can use Bass or Pearson here instead of Jimi.
  21. glory
    The 2 catcher lineup is still the best lineup the Jays can field. They'll give more rope to Belt, but hopefully not too much more if he still looks this washed.
  22. glory
    Berrios being good again would be an amazing development.
  23. glory
    I could see his logic, though. He would have been a free agent at age 31, a full three seasons away, and at this point it looks like he's a corner OF instead of a CF which diminishes his value a bit. There was a lot going against him waiting for free agency. He tried to force his way out, which may have gotten him a bigger extension if he were traded to a non-cheap team, but when that ship sailed, he took the guaranteed money/security rather than risk waiting. It's a good deal for the Pirates, and Reynolds at least gets to say he got a $100 million contract. As much as I would hate to see Nutting rewarded for his cheapness, I hope this is the beginning of a nice run for the Pirates. That fanbase will support a consistent winner and they have one of the best stadiums in the league. Cherington did alright all things considered. He took over a lousy team in 2020, stripped what was left of it down, and by 2023 they are starting to at least look competitive. We will see how long that lasts this season, and what happens in the future.
  24. glory
    I hope for Ohtani's sake the Angels trade him at the deadline so he has a chance to play in the post season this year. I'm guessing Arte would rather lose him for nothing than risk a 2nd half nosedive in attendance, but maybe logic will prevail in the end.
  25. glory
    Agreed it's awful.
