    Montoyo with tears in his eyes after that double. Rowdy's never playing again.

    I remember the Yankee announcers used to kill Betances for having no ability to hold runners on, although he was dominating for a few years so easier to overlook. Romano definitely needs to improve there.

    At some point Charlie is going to bump Vlad up to 4th. It's such an easy move, but I guess he doesn't want to discourage Hernandez or something like that. So I guess Thornton for 1 more, and then Romano + Merryweather coming up.
  4. glory
    What's annoying is Montoyo let Stripling face Ohtani, Trout, and Rendon in the last inning, yet had no intention of letting him go beyond the 5th despite the low pitch count. Could have just taken him out after 4 if that was the case and let a fresh arm throw to the top of the lineup, especially since Thornton can eat up several innings. Giving up a bomb to Trout is not a sign of weakness so I would have kept Stripling in as well, but unfortunately this is the way baseball is now.

    Good lord Trout is amazing.

    I have no issues with using the DH spot to rest starters, but then don't use the utility infield spot on Panik. He has sucked for 3+ years, and wasn't even the best utility IF option on the team during ST (Espinal). If the utility IF is going to play a lot then they should have splurged in free agency and overpaid for one with a bit more upside (Miller, Marwin, etc).

    Conforto's not going to need to lean in to get hit by a pitch the next time they play. Even the Mets announcers didn't want to defend that.
  8. glory
    Conforto clearly leaned into that one. No idea why they didn't reverse that.

    Taijuan Walker's first three pitches in today's start: 96, 96, 97. Everyone's velo is up nowadays. (Except Roark)
  10. glory
    Moving Vlad up is probably a smart idea at this point, regardless of the small sample size. Other than that, nearly everyone is slumping at the same time. That’s a recipe for disaster.

    I hate Buntoyo’s love of pitching changes. Just let Mayza finish that inning.
  12. glory
    I'd be very surprised if Montoyo lets any starter go 8 innings, much less Ryu who they are going to take it easy with. I think 7 max as long as his pitch count is low.
  13. glory
    Zeuch has options, so I'm guessing Ray will replace him and not Roark, although I hope I'm wrong. I'm not the biggest Zoinks fan, but at least he throws harder now and is much more likely to GB his way to good starts than a 34 year old Roark throwing 90 mph BP.
  14. glory
    Semien at SS today, with Bichette at DH, and Charlie's golden boy at 2B. At least he's not at DH again.
  15. glory
    Summer Grichuk starting early.
  16. glory
    One benefit to this game is it (should be) a rest day for any of the important relievers, although with Montoyo you never know. He loves using the pen. I'd just run Milone out there the rest of the game.
  17. glory
    Can Buntoyo just bring Tommy Milone's corpse into the game already?
  18. glory
    That's a risk they unfortunately were willing to take. His velo dropped in 2020 and his pitches this season (spring and tonight) look like s***. I thought maybe against s***** lineups he might be able to at least be decent, but this stuff is going to get destroyed by even half way decent offenses. Maybe the Rangers are bad enough to keep the Jays in the game long enough to outscore them.
  19. glory
    Jays had a great off season, but they deserve this. They cut bait on Yamaguchi, and could have done the same with Roark. He's clearly not good anymore, but whatever. He'll lose a bunch of games in April and hopefully disappear after that.
  20. glory
    Roark gets better as the game goes on. If he gives up 2, 3, or 8 runs to start the game, he's just getting warmed up.
  21. glory
    I hate the contract. Not a fan of Grichuk as a player either (don't like high K, low walk, low OBP sluggers in general) but he's fine in his current role. But no, I don't hate a player because of what he earns. As far as I'm concerned, I hope players maximize whatever money they can get.
  22. glory
    Buntoyo loves going to the pen, so surprised he let Matz pitch to one more batter even with the lefty/lefty matchup, but great outing by Matz either way. Now let's score some runs so that Milone can mop up the rest of the game instead of using any more good relievers.
  23. glory
    Ball 4 on Grichuk was a strike, strike 3 on Jansen was way outside. This ump is all over the place.
  24. glory
    You can see why the Jays think Matz has potential. Hopefully the stuff clicks this season.
  25. glory
    I am a Grichuk hater (his contract specifically), but I've always said he is a really good 4th outfielder. I have no issues keeping him for that reason as long as it doesn't impact other payroll decisions, and even if it did, I don't see any team valuing him at 3/30, so he's going to be here regardless. He's fine in this role.
