    Jays/Rays will definitely be getting the earliest start times every game they play.
  2. glory
    Is Merryweather healthy? Having him and Pearson out of the pen would be great in a short series. If only Giles and Romano were healthy.
  3. glory
    Kirk needs to be the DH in every playoff game that Jansen starts behind the plate.
  4. glory
    I wouldn't be against taking him out. He could go another inning, but the Jays need him as fresh as possible for Tuesday.
  5. glory
    Agree with this. Jays don't need depth as much as they need high impact talent. They should be in on Springer, Bauer, etc. The depth pieces are probably going to be cheaper this off season than ever before given the economic environment, so stop with the Roark types and aim (way) higher. With that said, if Ray is willing to sign a cheap one year deal, then go for it.

    He has a 0.9 WAR in his last 844 plate appearances (2019-20). He has a 0.4 WAR now, which fluctuates a lot due to small sample, but defensive metrics on FG do not like him in CF, he's been a negative base runner since joining the Jays, and whatever adjustment he made in 2019 to lower his strike outs has lessened his biggest strength (power/exit velo/hard hit%). Since 2016, which 2226 plate appearances, he has a .290 OBP and 100 wRC+. Not sure what type of performance you'd be expecting out of him if 2020 were 162 games, but he looks every bit the sub 1 WAR player he was last season, and that's with most of this season happening in August which is like the only month (along with July) that he usually does anything every year. I was cautiously optimistic that the lower K% might lead to something, but he's the same guy. He's a good 4th OF given a starting OF's contract and responsibility. Replacement level or slightly above is semantics. It's not good either way.

    Nice work from Cole.

    Jansen feeling the heat from Kirk's arrival.

    Probably, but other than 3B, the biggest upgrade the team can probably make right now is CF. Grichuk has been a replacement level player now for two seasons (small sample in 2020 but still). Nothing seems to be trending up for him. I'm not sure the Jays can keep sticking him in a starting role and hoping for better results. He'd actually a really good 4th OF, though. Streaky enough to start whenever he's hot (July/August every single year), and can cover multiple OF positions. But yeah, he'll likely complain if he were moved to the bench. If George Springer is possible, then Grichuk can either enjoy the bench or pack his bags.

    If the Jays are willing to use Grichuk as a 4th OF, then JBJ would be a great target. LH, an actual CF, and can be platooned if necessary. If Grichuk would cry about being a bench player, then try to trade him (for nothing because he has no value), and use Davis as the 4th OF in that scenario. I just don't see Grich as a starting CF on a good team, and he doesn't hit enough for RF. Ideal 4th outfielder if both team and player are ok with it, but my hatred of Grich in general makes me prefer Davis as the 4th OF.

    Roark acting like he's part of the playoff team.
  12. glory
    Roark ERA up to 7.01. Nice.
  13. glory
    Not watching the game, but I can't imagine Roark ever inducing weak contact, so I'd be doubtful.
  14. glory
    The Jays were unlikely to score much on Cole anyway, so might as well have the human dumpster fire start tonight, and better pitchers start in the next two. And yes, I never want to see Roark start a game for the Jays in 2021. It better not happen. Depth my ass. He sucks. Move on.
  15. glory
    Rest of the regular season apparently looks like this: Tonight: Roark Wednesday: Ray Thursday: Ryu Friday: Walker Saturday: Shoemaker Sunday: Roark/whoever WC1: Ryu WC2: Walker WC3: Shoemaker
  16. glory
    The 2018 version of Grichuk was fine. Flawed, but fine. The 2019-20 version is trash. I hoped the decrease in K's was a meaningful change, but seems to have sacrificed his power in doing so, which was his biggest strength. Maybe they think someday he'll combine his 2018 power with his 2020 BB:K, but in the mean time aside from his July/August hot streaks he's as frustrating as ever.
  17. glory
    Man, Font really sucks. Can't even mop up.
  18. glory
    Kirk already the best catcher on the team. Wonder if he sees the minor leagues again.
  19. glory
    Buntoyo better not start Villar in the playoffs.
  20. glory
    I know Roark tomorrow is just going to f*** all this fun up, so let's enjoy tonight. Keep the runs flowing.
  21. glory
    Jays need to win a couple of blowouts in this series. Make the Yankees accuse them of cheating again.
  22. glory
    The backup HP ump is a worse backup than Reese McGuire.
  23. glory
    This umpire is missing everything.
  24. glory
    They have an outfield of Davis, Grichuk, and Hernandez, and have every single player in the wrong spot in terms of optimal placement. I guess they want to keep Grichuk and Hernandez in their routine, but the defensive alignment could be better.
  25. glory
    Merryweather placed on the DL with right elbow tendinitis. I was holding out hope for him to start, but given his age and the fact that he has barely pitched in 3 years, just make the dude a reliever going forward.
