    Borucki is hurt a lot. Probably best to leave him in the pen if what he’s shown so far is legit. I’d move Thornton to the pen as well. Hatch is the one to test in the rotation, especially if the Jays fall further out of it in the next couple of weeks.

    Bo's wRC+ up to 183 after tonight's game.
  3. glory
    If Vlad was the DH tonight, we win this game. Oh well.
  4. glory
    Did Buntoyo switch dugouts? What the hell is going on?
  5. glory
    When Shun isn't coming in with a runner on 2nd in the 10th inning of a tie game, he's not half bad.
  6. glory
    Bad call. Momentum breaking. Damn umps.
  7. glory
    Only 19 more days until the trade deadline! Who we selling?
  8. glory
    It's not a tie game in the 10th inning.
  9. glory
    Buck endorsing Montoyo. Immediately switched to the Miami feed.
  10. glory
    Yeah he will use the DH spot to split time between Tellez, Panik, and Fisher. Montoyo manages like a Little League coach who has to make sure everyone plays. Fisher will probably start a game, then sit on the bench, then start, then bench, etc. In a 60 game season that type of managing makes no sense because there aren't enough games to get everyone an appropriate amount of AB's, so you just need to play your best players and use the bench sparingly. Unfortunately Buntoyo has a combination of no urgency + being bad at his job, and that's going to lead to ugly results.
  11. glory
    Agreed, which is why I didn't want the Jays to extend Giles when others were suggesting it (before Montoyo tried to kill him obviously). The FA market this winter has the potential to be very beneficial to teams with payroll flexibility and money to spend. The Jays should have both, unless Rogers is one of the owners who cries poor due to Covid. Betts was the only sure fire long term sign, but he's not on the market anymore. Probably going to see a bunch of one year deals, and/or players accepting the QO. I could also see a large group of non tenders as well. As far as Stroman, conventional wisdom says he accepts the QO if offered, but he's got the JD/Jose mentality of being very full/sure of himself, so I could see him turning it down as well. In the end, after missing all of 2020, he's probably signing a one year deal either way.

    Really have to sweep this series. A win is a win no matter how it happens.
  13. glory
    Any chance Buntoyo puts Alford at 2B to start the inning, or is Panik a professional base runner as well?
  14. glory
    Don't disrespect Muni like that.
  15. glory
    If Panik ends this game, he'll be starting everyday for the rest of the season.
  16. glory
    If Yamaguchi doesn't start the 10th I'll be disappointed. That's his inning.
  17. glory
    I'm not saying Bass is bad, but he's not Giles. You don't 'have to' bring him in to pitch the 9th, especially since he's not striking anyone out this season and his track record is not that good.
  18. glory
    Romano only threw 9 pitches, but the 9th is not his role, so bring the inferior pitcher in to close it.
  19. glory
    Panik is 0-3 with 2 K's, but those AB's were about as professional as you will ever see.
  20. glory
    Ryu at 92 pitches is probably a good time to take him out. If this is 2-3 weeks from now, then that's a different story.
  21. glory
    I agree. I thought this was a .500 ish roster prior to Covid, but others were more bullish on this team. With the offence this bad and the regional schedule they are likely sub-.500 and out of the playoff picture barring the bats turning around quickly.
  22. glory
    Man, this offence is really, really bad right now.
  23. glory
    What a shitshow.
  24. glory
    Since the start of 2018, Panik has a 75 wRC+ in 902 PA, hitting .247/.309/.330. He's not old at 29, but aside from making a lot of (weak) contact, he doesn't really provide anything of value as an offensive player, and if he's not playing 2B, then his defensive value is equally bad. I think we are being fair to Panik here. He's pretty bad. 2015 was a long time ago. He's not that guy anymore. This is likely a case of hoping for Eric Sogard 2.0, but that happening again is unlikely. Playing him over Drury/Tellez is fine with me, and the club seems to have no intention of trying to give Alford at bats (probably for the better if they want to win games), so the options are pretty scarce. If he's playing over Tellez, and only Tellez, then I can live with it. When Fisher comes back, he should be getting those AB's.
  25. glory
    The Jays have played 13 straight road games. HFA in baseball probably isn't as big of a deal but hopefully playing Buffalo provides some of it. Most of the Jays hitters have played in Buffalo anyway, so there's familiarity, and Panik is so professional he can hit anywhere.
