  1. Manoah just has the look and demeaner of someone you want to give the ball to in a big game. Workhorse vibes. Of course he's a pitcher so have to temper expectations, but he passes the eye test.
  2. Agreed. I actually don't mind doubleheaders now because the games tend to breeze by.
  3. My guess is Manfred deadened the ball so that hitters stop swinging for the fences as much and shift their approach. The issue is that pitchers are so good now that even making contact is difficult, whether it's in the air or otherwise. With how bad this season has been in terms of offense, they will almost certainly start incorporating those experimental rule changes because long term this is not good for the sport. Although I am glad that the deadened baseball, if nothing else, has hurt the hitters who hit cheapo HR's. Unfortunately that list includes Biggio so it hurts the Jays, but at least it makes the HR a bit more an accomplishment.
  4. Why am I not surprised Chatwood and Romano were used with 4-5 run leads? Then when the game is close tomorrow it will be the carousel of AAA fodder in the high leverage spots.
  5. If Josh Donaldson was on this team, he would have knocked out Montoyo at least once this season.
  6. Jays losing to the Rays has to be in heartbreaking fashion. Nothing else would be normal.
  7. Tellez pinch hitting for McGuire to lead off the 8th. Buntoyo is trolling us.
  8. Saving Tellez for 2 outs, 0 on in the 9th. 4D Chess.
  9. Not a fan of using openers, but using one for Stripling moving forward is probably a good idea.
  10. Lowe is roided up Barry Bonds according to Buntoyo.
  11. Panik is back, so we get to look forward to the Panik/Espinal platoon that no one asked for.
  12. Jansen's arb years begin after this season. I think he's being moved in the off season, but depends on what they want to do with Kirk/Moreno (tandem at the big league level? Start Kirk at DH/part time C?). Lots to time to make that decision though.
  13. Agreed. Montoyo was hired because this job was undesirable in 2018-19 and someone had to absorb all the L's when the team was losing. To keep him now that the team has aggressively spent money to contend and are beginning their competitive window is 100% on Atkins. Someone had to hire him in the first place, and someone is keeping him hired despite him showing no signs of being any good at the job. Time for Shatkins to step in, but I'm not holding my breath.
  14. No way the Rays are risking Wander being a Super 2 since that would mean paying someone more than the league minimum earlier than they have to.
  15. I'm torn between rooting for the Jays to win, and wanting them to be bad enough so that Atkins gets rid of Montoyo. I'll take missing the playoffs in 2021 if it means Buntoyo is gone and the 2022-2025 team is managed by someone worthy of being a big league manager. I don't want to live in a reality where this young core is managed by that stooge during the peak of their run.
  16. Hopefully Cash intentionally walks a few hitters for no reason so the Jays can bring the winning run to the plate.
  17. I can no longer laugh at Montoyo’s stupidity. It legit makes me mad now. Ugh. Giving free outs to a beatable McHugh, giving free base runners intentionally to the Rays when Beasley is pitching. I can live with a Dolis blown save, that s*** happens, but damn stuff like this is really bad.
  18. Buntoyo letting a player bunt with 2 strikes when there were runners on 1st/2nd and 0 outs is a damn fireable offense. He should be fired anyway, but that’s like the dictionary definition of it.
  19. Bergen, Mayza, Cole, Thornton, Payamps, Beasley........there's some misleadingly good ERA's in that group but holy s*** that's bad. Need some RP's to get healthy in a hurry.
  20. I could really get used to this version of Teoscar Hernandez who hits the ball hard and suddenly doesn't strike out anymore.
  21. I meant quiet as in people are going to look at it at the end of the season and be surprised that he was that good. He's definitely testing free agency again, especially if he has the type of season it looks like he's going to have, but if the Jays had interest in a four year deal with him before settling on one, then they might have interest in bringing him back if he's also open to it. Depends on the cost obviously.
  22. The whole vibe in that stadium is trash. Buffalo can't come soon enough. Also, sign Semien long-term. Dude's about to put up a quiet 5 WAR season.
  23. This ump is probably going to help Glasnow too.
  24. Man I really hate the 7:37 start times in Dunedin. Hopefully it goes back to 7:07 or earlier when they go to Buffalo. On days when Dolis pitches, the games could end at 11 pm or later with the current start time.
  25. Never heard of those relievers, but they'll be elite coming out of the pen the moment they put on the Rays uniform.
