    There is a chance Bo is not a SS, but you can't give up on that at age 23. Semien was a bad SS when he started in the league as well and eventually turned into a really good one. Bo at SS is not Vlad at 3B. He has the tools to be solid there. Of course, the Jays likely won't want to spend too much development time with Bo since they will want to win sooner than later, but using him at short in 2021 was a logical decision. If he looks bad all season, then you reevaluate for 2022 when there is a strong SS class in free agency (or re-sign Semien if he has a good season).

    The key is to fire Buntoyo before expanded playoffs becomes a thing. Once that happens, the Jays will probably begin a string of playoff appearances given how many teams Manfred wants in (7 in each league). Fire Charlie this season (after or during), hire an actual MLB level candidate for 2022-beyond, and go from there.

    Yeah, Brantley was a perfect fit for this roster.

    That's the frustrating part. It's understandable if no good candidate wanted this job after 2018 considering the Jays were heading into a tank season, so hiring a deer-in-headlights minor league manager to soak up losses during a rebuild made sense. But if the Jays job became open today, the candidate pool would be a lot better because the team situation is a lot better. Having Buntoyo manage this roster just seems like a huge waste.

    Buntoyo got to use a s*** ton of relievers. Win or lose, that probably makes him happy.
  6. glory
    Yikes.
  7. glory
    Time for Panik to end this s***.
  8. glory
    Yeah, Grichuk is going to start even when Springer gets back.

    Merryweather vs. Trout. This will be fun.

    Teoscar looking like his pre-2020 days with the ridiculous amount of K's and no walks. Hopefully 2020 wasn't his 2017 Domingo Santana season.
  11. glory
    The sad thing is, that's likely the exact reason. He manages like you'd expect a minor league manager to manage.

    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.
  14. glory
    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.

    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.
  19. 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)
  21. 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.
  22. glory
    I hate Buntoyo’s love of pitching changes. Just let Mayza finish that inning.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. glory
    Semien at SS today, with Bichette at DH, and Charlie's golden boy at 2B. At least he's not at DH again.
