  1. Richards threw 5 pitches so Buntoyo better have him pitch the next inning.
  2. I'm not a Thornton fan, but not sure why he's not being used as a long man in this situation. He should have pitched 2-3 innings tonight. If he gave up runs, then he gave up runs, but have to be economical with relievers when starter doesn't give you length.
  3. Is Dante back with the team yet? If not, bring his ass back.
  4. This is where the Jays should use Pearson when he's healthy, similar to how the Yankees have been using King. Just have him come in as a multi inning reliever. Thornton is not good so the fact that he can eat up innings out of the pen isn't necessarily helpful.
  5. Yeah he has a K% bordering 40% and a BABIP over .380. He's going to regress pretty hard, but if he's a catcher, then it's not a big deal. If he's the DH and batting 4th, then that's a bigger issue. Need Teoscar and Jansen back ASAP.
  6. Kikuchi has upside, you can clearly see the stuff is there, but if Walker can't fix him, then it's going to be a long ass three years watching him pitch like this every 5th day.
  7. I don't know if Pete Walker can fix Kikuchi or not in the next 3 years, but watching him pitch is infuriating.
  8. Wow. I can't see Bauer coming back from this. Soonest he can come back is May (?) 2024 and by then he'll be 33 with nearly 3 years of missed time. Combine that with the PR stench that would come with signing him, and I don't think any team looks at him as being worth the trouble.

    They won 2 games, and should have won 3 games, against a better team in a year they should have been rebuilding. It was definitely a great season overall.
  10. Gausman is a vetrin and was dealing, and he wasn't allowed to go past 88 pitches. I think Manoah is done. Gotta get Garcia in there.
  11. Tapia batting cleanup is either massive incompetence or an epic troll job by Buntoyo. I know "he's just a puppet" is starting to gain some traction here, but there's no chance any analytics team, Blue Jays or otherwise, would recommend this lineup construction. Even if they feel Tapia has some untapped potential (his statcast numbers have trended forward this season so far to his credit), at least wait until it translates to on field success.
  12. They didn't protect him pre lockout and were ready to lose him if a Rule 5 draft happened, so it's definitely possible he is traded mid season. If they feel he's not capable of carrying this performance over, then it would make sense to sell high, but the numbers/age/skill set look enticing.
  13. Samad Taylor: 20.8 BB%, 19.4K%, 159 wRC+, .218 ISO, 11 SB (1 CS) Speed + pop + walks + dramatically reduced K's. It's only 72 PA, but he's looking very interesting now, especially given his defensive versatility. Time to follow in Teoscar and Espinal's footsteps as random trade deadline pickups who pan out.
  14. A balanced schedule is the AL Central's worst nightmare.
  15. How many more starts until starters can reach 100 on this team? Gausman was literally dominating them and is taken out at 88 pitches. I know Buntoyo would move mountains if it meant being able to use as many relievers as possible, but 2nd time in a row Gausman has dominated and been taken out before 90 pitches.
  16. I like bunting Espinal over to 2B to give Zimmer (career 62 wRC+ vs LHP) a chance to drive him in.
  17. Gurriel has hamstring soreness apparently.
  18. Romano was definitely shown in the bullpen when the score was 2-2 (he was standing in the pen by himself watching the game), and Shulman said he'd be coming in if the Jays took the lead, but I don't think they showed him actually throwing. So I guess it's possible he was just standing there and Merryweather was going to come in regardless, but it certainly sounded like and appeared that he was going to come in based on the broadcast. Either way I'm glad it wasn't a save situation and they didn't have to use him. The Jays need more of these types of games/wins.
  19. Yeah I think Biggio is moved some time between now and the deadline. Injuries will happen and maybe he will play more then, but I think they have soured on him. Some team will look at his last name and his 2019-2020 numbers and give up something for him, probably not much, but something useful that would help the Jays.
  20. A win in Mark Buehrle time. Nice.
  21. Considering Montoyo saw Giles' arm fall out and still let him throw a few more pitches after that is not a good sign as far as Romano's usage. Hopefully we get a few laughers (wins) to give him a breather.
  22. I'm actually shocked they had Romano even warming up. This would have been his 4th game in 5 days, and he's already pitched in like 70% of the games this season (at least it feels that way). Take it easy with him Charlie.
  23. Nice Bo. Please don't use Romano now.
  24. Hopefully Cora likes to use the bullpen as much as Buntoyo does. Eovaldi looks unhittable.
  25. Berrios has been lucky as hell so far.
