  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Ball 4 on Grichuk was a strike, strike 3 on Jansen was way outside. This ump is all over the place.
  7. You can see why the Jays think Matz has potential. Hopefully the stuff clicks this season.
  8. 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.
  9. Merryweather has everything needed to be a starter, but he's 29, injury prone, and has not pitched much since 2017. If he was 24, then I think it's a no brainer you put him in the rotation, but current situation seems more logical for him to be a closer, especially if he's potentially this good.
  10. My guess is they will use the DH to rotate the outfielders most of the time, while sprinkling in Panik at DH because of his big bat.
  11. I'd take Davis over Panik too, but since Davis never gets a chance to hit I didn't want to presume what his offensive talent actually is. Regardless, Buntoyo must be looking at Panik's 67 wRC+ against RHP since 2019 to justify having him not only pinch hit in the 9th inning but also START AT DH. Gotta get that bat in the lineup. I know OF defense won't matter as much with Zoinks pitching, but could have easily had Davis in CF, Grichuk in RF, and Hernandez at DH to at least improve the defensive part of the lineup.
  12. There's a pretty good chance Espinal might be better than Panik at this point, so they not only demoted the better utility player but will now allow Buntoyo to use Panik as a pinch hitter when he might be the worst hitter on the team once Springer replaces Davis on the roster. This is why I was pulling for Valera or anyone else to win that utility spot even though I knew it was Panik's the moment he signed his name to a contract.
  13. This is why Panik shouldn’t have made the team. He’s a perfectly adequate backup infielder but when your manager is a moron, Panik becomes a dangerous guy to have on the bench.
  14. Yeah that K was sadly predictable. When Tellez is off, he’s really off.
  15. That’s the most baseball thing ever. Two s***** bloops are singles, the one hard hit is caught.
  16. If Kirk is not starting tomorrow, then a riot is mandatory.
  17. Thank goodness for the 3 batter minimum because you know Buntoyo wants to make a pitching change right now.
  18. Could have left Chatwood in as well as he only threw 9 pitches.
  19. Charlie had Jansen give the Yankees a free out because he knew Merryweather only needed a one run lead. Buntoyo two steps ahead of everyone, as always.
  20. Merryweather is a GD stud. Just stay healthy.
  21. Buntoyo doesn't deserve to manage a lineup this good, but we have to hope the talent can compensate.
  22. Agreed, but with two strikes it is insane. I don't think any other baseball person on earth would do it in that situation. At least Charlie is unique.
  23. Buntoyo wanting to bunt with 2 strikes still baffles me.
  24. Cole gets an outside pitch called a strike, and Ryu gets a low pitch in the zone get called a ball. Doesn't look like the ump will be consistent today, but that's just MLB umpiring.
