    Rotating the DH spot is actually a bad thing now because it just means more Tapia into the lineup. DH Springer? Tapia in the OF. DH Vlad? Gurriel to 1B and Tapia to the OF. There's no way around it. The bench is awful. Atkins needs to do some work at the deadline. Josh Bell at DH, Tyler Naquin as 4th OF, another high impact reliever (if not Pearson). I'm just picking names off bad teams, but the trade deadline probably needs to be pretty significant at this point.

    Agreed. The Jays being over .500 this season so far has definitely seemed like a miracle most nights. That doesn't erase the fact that Stanton's HR was cheap as s***, but it's Yankee Stadium. Just have to hope some of the Jays hitters can hit some over there too.

    Two straight games and 2 straight logical lineups. Charlie learning, possibly.

    No chance anyone other than Charlie is behind Tapia's spot in the batting order. There is no analytic team, in baseball or otherwise, that would think Rocket should be leading off. Or batting anywhere between 2-8 for that matter. Even 9th is pushing it. Basically he doesn't belong anywhere in the lineup other than pinch running, but let's see how long it takes for the batted ball profile to show up in the results. I'm not holding my breath.

    If Clase has a clean inning, then Tapia will end the game with more PA's than Vlad. Analytics, baby.
  6. glory
    At least Romano gets a day off.

    Yeah I noticed the increased statcast numbers, but Charlie isn't even waiting until it manifests into results before he starts batting him 1st, or 5th, or 6th. Panik was awful, but Buntoyo being a minor league manager showing respect to a vetrin who used to be good at least had some (annoying) logic to it. But Tapia has sucked for years, and this year he has still sucked while having better underlying numbers. His road slash line with the Rockies was .243/.285/.320 (61 wRC+). I just don't get why he's been given so much reverence by Charlie.

    Charlie’s love for Joe Panik wasn’t as obnoxious as his love for Tapia is now. At least Panik was a good player at one point.

    Jomboy breakdown of the Boone ejection last night.
  10. glory
    Hopefully Tapia is a few weeks away from being Joe Panik'd for a useful reliever.
  11. glory
    This line is more like it from Kikuchi. Hopefully April's command issues are behind him.
  12. glory
    Scoring runs seem so damn difficult lately. Kirk had to run faster than he's ever run before just to get it too.
  13. glory
    Yeah on the rare occasion Tapia gets on base, he should be on the move, especially if you bat him 5th and the bottom of the order is coming up. It's one of the few skills he has (nearly 80% for his career).
  14. glory
    This ump is definitely going to frustrate the hitters tonight.
  15. glory
    If Springer hits a hard single here I'm not convinced Kirk can score from 3rd. Dude is slow as molasses.
  16. glory
    Tapia making me look forward to Dexter Fowler.
  17. glory
    Well, that called strike 3 was in the zone, but Vlad definitely got screwed on the 1st strike, and in his other AB's. Glad Charlie took the bullet on that one. Seems like he's been ejected more this season than every other year combined. Growing a backbone. Good to see.

    Have to give credit to the Astros. Lose a player like Correa and can just add Peña in there without missing a beat.
  19. glory
    Richards threw 5 pitches so Buntoyo better have him pitch the next inning.
  20. glory
    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.
  21. glory
    Is Dante back with the team yet? If not, bring his ass back.
  22. glory
    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.
  23. glory
    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.
  24. glory
    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.
  25. glory
    I don't know if Pete Walker can fix Kikuchi or not in the next 3 years, but watching him pitch is infuriating.
