Yeah seriously, Canada needs to open up already. Jays are 20-18 on the road against the toughest schedule in the league. The lack of home field is really annoying, especially on nights like tonight where the Yankees are going to be cheered by practically the entire crowd.
-
Grichuk is a really good 4th OF. Streaky hitter who is doing what he's always done except with fewer K's. Definitely should be moved down when Springer gets back since it appears he will still play everyday over Tellez.
-
Glasnow's elbow would have never exploded had he still been allowed to use sticky goo/rosin/sunscreen on his hands. Seems legit.

General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2021)
glory replied to TwistedLogic's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I don't know about a 2015 run, but a significant hot streak hasn't happened yet, and the schedule eases up considerably after the Yankees series. A nice hot streak heading into the break seems very possible, especially if Springer/Kirk get back soon. The bullpen is still going to be an issue though. Against bad teams the Jays might be able to get away with it. -
But by bringing in Dolis to face the meat of their order, you're greatly reducing the chances of there even being a 10th inning. So while yes the Jays would have had to bring in Dolis or Castro or whoever for the 10th (assuming Romano kept them scoreless in the 9th), just getting to the 10th itself should have been the goal for Montoyo. As mentioned, the Jays could have scored a bunch of runs in the top half and given the scrub RP the Jays brought in some wiggle room.

If you go to the 8:37 mark in this video, even Barkley is making jokes about it on Inside the NBA.
-
Oh I know it was likely all they could do based on the CBA/MLBPA, but it just sounds funny in writing. I guess the embarrassment of being lumped into the cheating category should act as enough of a deterrent now that pitchers can't get away with it.
-
Lol at suspension with pay. Also known as, PTO days.
-
Apparently Romano was available but Montoyo said he was going to use him in the 9th only if the Jays took the lead. Atkins can no longer be called Alpha Atkins. Not as long as Buntoyo is managing.
-
Hopefully they can use Romano in a 7 run game tomorrow.
-
At least Dolis is making this quick. The last game he blew against the Red Sox took five years to finish.
-
Vlad giving the Jays a chance, and Bunty taking it away by putting in Dolis. I know there aren’t many options in the pen, but this seems like a bad idea. Or maybe I just don’t want 8 pitches to take 25 minutes.
-
I wonder how big the lead would have to be for Romano not to pitch today? 10 could go either way.
-
Let Matz throw 110-120 pitches with a 6 run lead but don’t let Strip throw 84 against the bottom of their order. 4D chess is not meant for regular people.
-
With how often Charlie goes to the pen, it really doesn't surprise me that every RP who does well on this team ends up getting hurt. This is the same man who saw Ken Giles' arm almost come off the bone and still let him throw a few more times before taking him out. The Jays could be up 7-1 and he'll go to the best healthy RP on the team in the 9th. He's just really, really bad.
-
Romano is out, so let's go to the dumpster fire pen earlier instead of stretching the starter out (only 83 pitches) a bit longer. Perfect sense.
-
Buntoyo is the perfect manager if you’re tanking. The fact that this ass is managing a team wanting to contend is a travesty.
-
That's why I don't see it happening. New TV deals kick in starting in 2022, it will be full capacity from the jump, and chances are expanded playoffs will be negotiated into any deal so the owners have a lot of incentive to have the season. The players obviously do as well. After all the losses in 2020 and likely some loss in 2021, no one benefits from a work stoppage. My guess is there will be an ugly, public, and completely nauseating public fight between the two sides but they'll ultimately agree to something at the last minute. Maybe that's wishful thinking on my part but money will eventually win out in the end.
-
I haven’t seen recent starts but the one start I saw of Walker this season he was pumping 96-97. Given that he missed two full seasons due to TJS and his first season back was a 60 game season, it’s certainly possible that he’s recovered and turned the corner. Let’s see how he does the rest of the season.
-
Taylor is like 8 months older than Austin Martin. He’s still very young. The K% has to come down obviously but pop/speed combo is intriguing.

Some interesting home run numbers with the new baseball 2021
glory replied to G-Snarls's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Alonso's take loses a lot of credibility when you see how much SPs were paid after 2019 (Cole, Strasburg, Ryu, Wheeler, etc). If owners/Manfred colluded to depress the following season's strong FA SP market, but then proceeded to spend hundreds of millions on the pitchers anyway (including the biggest pitching contract ever), that seems to pour a lot of cold water on Alonso's point. Theo Epstein in an interview said that the three most popular outcomes for fans during a game are a triple, double and SB in that order. I think deadening the ball is as simple as Manfred wanting to reduce home runs and increase BIP, and being naive enough to think that making the HR more difficult would cause hitters to change their approach. Intentionally deadening the balls so that Carlos Correa and Trevor Story get a bit less money is tinfoil hat material. -
Yeah seriously, how much distrust exists between the two sides if that type of conspiracy level s*** is legitimately being discussed by the players?
-
Panik has a 0.4 WAR and 77 wRC+ in his last 1111 plate appearances (2018-present). As mentioned, he provides no platoon value and defensively he's a 2B-only player who is negative value defensive player at third where the Jays are playing him/starting him with Biggio out. He's not an end of the bench guy on this roster, he's the primary utility player who the manager loves. Yes, Panik is what he is and may not be a negative WAR player, but he's just not good. This time with Biggio out they could have started Espinal everyday at 3B and at least seen what he has rather than giving him one or two games a week against a LHP and expecting him to hit them because he's a RHB.
-
Not only Cole, but Verlander went to Houston and turned back the clock instantly. Their cheating was definitely across the board.
-
Donaldson talking about pitchers cheating. I'm glad he mentioned Bauer wanting to bring attention to it. Cole is going to be the face of this because of the contract he got, whether fairly or not, but this absolutely needed to be enforced and I'm glad it will be.
