    I wish Panik’s hot streak started earlier. Villar is f***ing awful.

    Back to the questionable lineups, with a sprinkle of playing a vetrin over someone with actual potential. This is more Montoyo's style.

    Boston was the worst matchup in the Eastern Conference for the Raptors. Still, went to Game 7 and could have won it despite Pascal not having a single good game in the entire series. I agree post-Lowry life looks a little bleak, but hopefully Giannis is just around the corner. Just have one more transition season, preserve cap space, get a good 2nd round showing, and then gear up for the Greek Freak.

    Wags definitely taking one for the team tonight.
  5. glory
    Just saw the Jansen play. Kirk better be starting tomorrow.
  6. glory
    Yankees are going to sweep a DH, so Jays 2nd place lead will be down to 0.5 by the end of tonight.

    Smith swinging on 3-0 with his team up 4 is disgusting.
  8. glory
    I was expecting an L tonight anyway with degrom pitching, so not a big deal if we lose this one (try to win the next 2), but I really hope Shatkins is done chasing the Roark’s and Anderson’s of the world. Aim higher.

    If the Jays have a shutout in them, this is the game to do it.

    Kirk

    glory replied to Boxcar's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk

    His option clock starts earlier than it could have. That's the only "drawback", but honestly, I don't care. When a player is ready and/or an upgrade to your roster, call them up. Kirk is an upgrade. Period. If he needs to be sent down to begin 2021, that's fine. The only potential issue here is that it will take up a 40 man roster spot which could mean we lose someone in the off season. Moreno is rule 5 eligible, so that's a possible risk (though doubtful someone will take an A ball catcher).

    Villar at DH today instead of Fisher. In case you thought Fisher would get more of a look with all the injuries.

    One win was off a miracle 3, and another was in double OT. Asking for another win with Siakam wetting the bed all game is a lot. He doesn't need to drop 40 or anything, but at least hit his seasonal (pre bubble) averages. The good thing is he's at least playing good defense despite the bad shooting/offense. If he can just have one good game in game 7, it will go a long way.

    The problem with Vlad is that aside from the bat, he brings nothing else to the table. Overweight, bad base running, no defensive value, lower-than-expected baseball IQ, etc. The one positive is that once he does figure it out with the bat, he's going to be a beast, but until then it's basically like having Kendrys in the lineup.

    If anything, Atkins is stockpiling fatties. The fatter, the better.

    Siakam can't do anything when guarded by the Celtics guards (Brown and Smart in particular). This is a real bad matchup for him. Regardless, he's the key to game 7. He hasn't had a good game all series, and he was awful in game 6. He needs to step up big time in game 7 for the Raptors to have a chance.

    It would have been hard to move him even in a normal season, but the off season after a truncated season with no fans, I doubt any team wants to touch Roark's contract. Best case would be moving him for an equally bad contract. The only one I can think of is something like Familia on the Mets. Then again Shatkins loves SP depth, even if it's below average, so I think they hold on to Roark. His best attribute (staying healthy) will mean more over 162 games. Maybe use him in the Sam Gaviglio 2019 role and just have him mop up innings to save the pen.
  17. glory
    I see Roark's point, but a s***** pitcher facing a lineup for the 3rd time in a tie game is probably not the high percentage move. I would have kept Roark in to see if he could eat up 5 innings (just because the pen is so overused/depleted), but I saw no issues with pulling him after 4 since Stripling could eat up 3-4 innings right after. It just didn't work out. I guarantee if the Jays signed Trevor Bauer this winter, he wouldn't be pulled after 4 in the same spot. How good the pitcher is makes a pretty big difference. Roark is a below average 5 IP starter. His best attribute is staying healthy.

    The bunting (especially with 2 strikes) and batting your best hitters 8th can't possibly be the front office, but I can buy the rest of it being Buntoyo following orders. Starters being pulled after 70-80 pitches or 2 times through the order is definitely orders from above Charlie. Maybe resting certain guys on certain days (like Gurriel tonight) is the same. The Yankees have been accused of hiring Boone as simply a mindless puppet who will follow orders (as opposed to Girardi), and he has the same tendencies of pulling pitchers early, giving rest days for no reason, etc. It's why I'm not expecting the Jays to move on from Montoyo even if they collapse the rest of the way. He'll jump when they tell him to jump. That's what most front offices want now.
  19. glory
    Hopefully they just let Stripling finish this game (unless the Jays take the lead).
  20. glory
    Yeah, kinda have to view 2020 as a wash for Stripling. He needs to turn it around next season.
  21. glory
    I don't mind the move. Roark is trash so getting 4 out of him and still being tied is the best case scenario, and Stripling can log 3-4 innings here. Although, Stripling hasn't been good this season so it might not work out ultimately, but still a good time to pull Roark.
  22. glory
    Without Hernandez and Tellez, he might get that chance temporarily. Obviously would rather have those two back, but let's see what Fisher can do in the mean time.
  23. glory
    I hate the days Roark pitches. Hopefully this is a tandem start with Stripling.
  24. glory
    McKinney can play 1B so if the Jays had any faith in his bat then he might be a decent option for a callup. I don't think he's going to be much of anything as a hitter, but let Dante (or whoever is helping the Jays hitters at the big league level) get a few days with him and see what happens. Other than that, not much else on the 40 man currently that can realistically fill in. I'm not high on Vogelbach, but could have been a decent fill in. Just bad timing.
  25. glory
    Let's get this thread back to its normal premise. Tonight's lineup has a bottom 3 of Joseph, Fisher, and Davis (yes, Caleb hitting in front of Fisher). Panik is at 3B and Shaw at 1B due to Rowdy's injury. But man, with a day off tomorrow, you couldn't keep Gurriel and Jansen in the lineup?
