    I think that was always the plan, especially when Schneider came up to be a bench coach. Montoyo is here because no one half way decent wants to manage a 100 loss team. If/when the Jays start off poorly next season, I would expect to see Bunty fired and replaced by Schneider, and then the team will try to win in 2021. And man this team needs to add like 4 pitchers in the off season.

    Fisher can draw walks, has legit power, and speed.. I can see why the Jays like him. The tools are there. Whether he can put it together is the question.

    SRF against the Dodgers seems like a bad outcome waiting to happen.

    Since the no hitter, Sanchez has given up 7 walks, 5 home runs, and 10 earned runs in 12.2 innings. Fangraphs in shambles.

    Pearson inches closer to being in Pete Walker's guidance, but decided to pitch to contact beforehand so he's prepared for life in Toronto. Smart dude.

    Just looked at Pillar's stats (haven't paid attention to him at all), and he's still hanging around. He has a 1.6 WAR and 92 wRC+ since the trade. He'll likely finish around a 2 WAR on the season (maybe a little less). That should get him one more decent arb payday before he hits free agency (and subsequently gets ignored by teams because he's 30+). I wasn't his biggest fan, but still rooting for him. I expected him to fall off a cliff by now but he's still out there making the most out of his skill set. Good for him.

    Davis has a better chance of being on a 25 man roster than McKinney. Davis has a perfectly acceptable fourth outfielder skill set. McKinney sucks at everything. I mean I don’t think either one will be any good but I think Davis can at least be useful. McKinney is s***. Can’t run, field, or hit. Give Davis those PA’s.

    He did it. No hitter, 114 pitches.

    TJ Zoiks having an okay start tonight. 8 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K, 0 HR, 13-5 GO-F0, 101 pitches Game still going.

    Damn he should have signed with a real franchise. Dude is going to get no coverage and he'll probably end up signing a puny ass extension with 5 team options where he'll be traded half way into it. Aka the Tampa Bay way. Find a way out of Tampa, Wander. Asap.

    So Romano was returned, DSJ sucks again, and Bergen about to be returned. I can be as hard on Shatkins for their moves as anyone, but never understood the uproar about the above moves.

    He thought he hit a home run, and admired it. He was wrong. It cost him a base. Take him to the side, tell him he was wrong, and move on. Taking your best player out of the game for that is ridiculous. The guy is making highlight reel catches, and is a great player in every facet of the game. He obviously cares. But god forbid a 21 year old pimp a home run because he legit thought he hit it out and be wrong about it. Take his ass out.

    I just saw it and it's another example of why baseball is going to go the way of the NHL in North America within the next 10 years. Acuna shows a tiny bit of personality, it cost him a base, and you want to take him out of the game to set an example when fans paid money to see him play? Take him to the back, tell him what he did was wrong, and then move the f*** on. Although I am upset that both Acuna and Albies signed their primes away for a carton of milk, effectively costing themselves tens of millions (if not hundreds of millions in Acuna's case) so maybe I'd should view this as karma for them being so stupid.

    Pannone has no shot of being a big league starter.
  15. glory
    Fisher took 5 straight balls, and then struck out looking on the one strike thrown in the entire AB. Baseball can be so unwatchable some times.
  16. glory
    25 K's in 20.2 innings for Kay since the trade (14 walks though). Only given up 2 home runs in those 20 innings. Showing positive signs but not there yet.
  17. glory
    The next CBA brings a lot of uncertainty. If I'm the Jays, I approach them this winter to see if something can be reached. I don't think they'll give away their primes for a peanut butter sandwich like the Braves players did, but the Jays have enough payroll flexibility to pay them well and build around them.
  18. glory
    Every starter on the team needs an opener. Man, I hope Shatkins signs/acquires at least 3 good SP's this winter. Then Shoemaker and Borucki + a shitload of depth fighting for the last two spots.
  19. glory
    Yeah, Smoak's stat cast numbers are still very good (launch angle, exit velocity, barrels, xwoba). Wouldn't shock me if Atkins brings him back on the cheap. Really depends on what they think of Tellez.
  20. glory
    Either go all in with Cole (not happening) or spread the risk around 2-3 actually decent SPs. Shatkins has proven they can build a pen from nothing, and the bats are there. Just get some damn SPs.
  21. glory
    They probably anticipated being able to trade Galvis, but maybe underestimated how other teams view him. They gave him more money than similar FA's got. If there is one thing you can count on with SHatkins is that they will try to move anyone on a short term deal, even if the return is s***. Galvis and Smoak must have had absolutely no value at all. I agree, get rid of Smoak too. Don't need him, and they can use 1B to give a bunch of younger talent playing time (Tellez, Drury, McKinney).
  22. glory
    Seriously, I must be missing something with Galvis. He's a solid 1-2 war player, but he's a backup on this team, and the Jays are clearly better off giving that role to Drury who might actually have a bit of upside and versatility. Off the top of my head, infielders like Beckham, Iglesias, Harrison, Sogard, etc, signed for dirt s***. Players like this are not valued anymore. Galvis at $5.5m is a bad use of resources in this market and the Jays could sign another infielder with that profile rather inexpensively without having to worry about Buntoyo playing him everyday (hopefully). If that $$ could be reallocated to pitching help, it would be a much better fit for the Jays.
  23. glory
    I'm surprised people want to non tender Drury. I'm not as big of a fan of his as Shatkins seems to be, but he can play multiple positions, won't cost much in Arb2, and he's still young enough that you can still dream on the bat. I would definitely tender him a contract.
  24. glory
    Exactly. Look at what infielders signed for in the off season. Galvis might be overpaid. I hate that a 2 win player at $5m is an overpay, but welcome to 2019-20 MLB. The Jays might not get the same results, but I have no doubt they'll be able to get a decent utility infielder in free agency for less than what Galvis was going to get.
  25. glory
    I would have been fine keeping Galvis next year if he was used as a bench player. He'd have value as a vetrin and is actually a productive player so he would have been great depth. But Montoyo F'd that up by playing him everyday even when he has an entire infield of top prospects at his disposal, and someone like Drury on the bench who needs more playing time to see if he's worth anything beyond this season. Now just do the same with Smoak and Buntoyo will have no choice but to play the youngsters. Another thing to keep in mind is that $5.5m for 1-2 WAR infielder is above market value, and the Jays would have been using him off the bench. I don't think Galvis was much of an asset.
