    MLB umpires on a roll this season.

    That loud fan is almost making me miss empty stadiums.

    I'm right there with you. Ridiculous that he's sent down just because of options while we have to sit through Montoyo's man crush of Panik and hope he outplays the 75 wRC+ he's been averaging for the past few years. It's bad enough they are carrying Roark at the expense of better options, but if Buntoyo is going to overplay his backups, then at least have the decency to bring up the best ones. Options in baseball, while I get it, suck for players, especially fringey/bench players.

    Espinal > Panik, both as a player and as a roster spot since Buntoyo wouldn't play him too much like he does the vetrin.
  5. glory
    Mets waiting until Bass comes into the game in the 9th to score. That's a smart strategy.

    If Semien ends up being a ~4 WAR player at 2B/SS again this season, and he likes the org, then he's easily the best medium term option for 2022-25 since he's already on the roster. What type of contract he'd be looking for is the question. I really don't see either of Groshans or Martin being SS's at the big league level (at least not any better than Bo is) so if Bichette is deemed to be more of a 2B/3B for 2022-beyond, then they'll need to invest in a real SS. Beyond Semien, I would think Atkins, given his love for everything Houston Astros the past few years, would be all in on Correa, but he's going to want a huge contract (much bigger and longer than Springer's deal). Semien might just be the easiest and most logical solution, and probably wouldn't take more than a 3-4 year deal.

    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.
  9. glory
    Yeah, Brantley was a perfect fit for this roster.
  10. glory
    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.
  11. glory
    Buntoyo got to use a s*** ton of relievers. Win or lose, that probably makes him happy.
  12. glory
    Yikes.
  13. glory
    Time for Panik to end this s***.
  14. glory
    Yeah, Grichuk is going to start even when Springer gets back.
  15. glory
    Merryweather vs. Trout. This will be fun.
  16. glory
    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.
  17. glory
    The sad thing is, that's likely the exact reason. He manages like you'd expect a minor league manager to manage.
  18. glory
    Montoyo with tears in his eyes after that double. Rowdy's never playing again.
  19. glory
    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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. glory
    Good lord Trout is amazing.
  23. glory
    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).
  24. glory
    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.
  25. glory
    Conforto clearly leaned into that one. No idea why they didn't reverse that.
