    Drury in the outfield isn't ideal, but keep Sogard in there until he inevitably reverts back to normal, and anything that keeps McKinney out of the lineup works for me (bad defence, bad base running, projected to be below average with the bat.....what the hell is there to like?). Vlad batting 5th is bad though.

    Can't wait until he signs an 8 year, $10 million (total) contract with 2 team options with the Rays. They always find a way. (I hate the Rays).
  3. glory
    Never trade with the Rays. Ever.
  4. glory
    Really think they need to put him in the outfield.

    One way or another, the Jays have to make a decision. They made one with Grichuk. If they want to extend Stroman, do it now or prior to the trade deadline. If one or both sides are so far apart that there is no middle ground, then go for a trade. Can't afford to risk another JD situation where the asset value is practically nothing because they waited too long, or a Happ situation where Billy f'n McKinney is the main prospect coming back. I'd honestly be disappointed if Stro is traded. Say what you want about him, but I enjoy watching him pitch, and he likes taking the ball in the big games (ex. starting game 5 of the ALDS and saving us from a David Price implosion, starting the WC game despite everyone saying to start Liriano, etc). There is a confidence when he is on the mound. He's not an ace but he's really good. I'd try to keep him around.

    Well if they maintain their walk rates in a relief role (SRF and Perez in particular) then they'll be out of the league. Maybe focusing on 1 or 2 pitches and pitching an inning will help them. I don't think either one will be able to improve the control enough to start.
  7. glory
    Perez, Paulino, and SRF in the pen might be pretty decent. I haven't completely given up hope on starting for Paulino, but that's more wishful thinking at this point. I think all three would work well in the pen.

    Hector Perez: 2.2 IP, 4 H, 6 ER, 6 BB, 3 K. Now has allowed 15 walks in 16 innings. ERA over 10. Forrest Wall so far is 2-3 with a walk. He's had a pretty damn good start to the season.

    If Hanson was Jarrod Dyson on the base paths and was going to steal a base or two, then I can at least find logic in that, but getting a marginal upgrade in speed with 1 out and a runner on 1st is incredibly pointless, especially if it means taking your best hitter out of the lineup.

    I'm not against sac bunting if it makes sense to do so. Runner on 2nd, 0 out in a tie game in the 9th inning with Ryan Goins at the plate? Bunt the man over to 3rd. Play for one run when you need one run to win the game. But Montoyo's been doing it way too often in situations that do not resemble the above.

    Getting a CF upgrade, moving Grichuk back to right, and sending McKinney down to the minors would really help the team. No idea who that could be though. Certainly not Ben Revere. I wonder if Gurriel could handle CF. Seriously, there's practically nothing in the minors for outfielders now that Alford looks like s***. Moving Gurriel to the OF might be the best move.

    There is no way Atkins didn't see this coming. He endorses this s***. He has to. Gibby 2.0 (2016-beyond) was way more analytical than this, and they fired him for a man who is the same age but manages like it's 1973. All while taking out the franchise player in a 1-1 game in the 9th when he's on 1st with 1 out and could conceivably have to bat again if it goes to extra innings. This thread will reach 100 pages pretty damn soon.
  13. glory
    Yeah, I figured he'd get traded to the Astros and suddenly become a #1 starter by doing that, but thankfully he's done it in Toronto. I always wanted to extend him, but now it has to be done. He's going to have a great year if he stays healthy.
  14. glory
    The only thing I can think of is the team doesn't want Vlad to run the bases in that moment because of concerns about getting hurt in a rundown or from having to run from 1st to potentially 3rd or home. Otherwise I am at a loss for why Vlad was taken out today.
  15. glory
    This is a bandwagon city, at least when it comes to baseball. They won't care about seeing Vlad after this weekend. The novelty will have worn off. They will be back when the team is in a playoff race, and even then they might wait until after the team makes the playoffs to start selling the place out again. It will be a process.

    Man what a fun series.
  17. glory
    Holy s*** Drury!
  18. glory
    Yeah the replay clearly showed his foot not being on the bag. That was the difference.
  19. glory
    I have no idea why Vlad was taken out there unless he’s still not 100%. He was on 1st with one out. How old is Ned Yost? I’m just going to assume him and Montoyo either grew up together or are actually related. I like that theory better than actually trying to place logic in some of these decisions.
  20. glory
    I've been on the extend Stro train since the winter. The market is making re signing your own players more logical now and Stro is actually good + wants to stay. Make it happen Shatkins. You just signed a "play the game the right way" anti bat flip good old boy in Grichuk. Might as well counter balance that with Stro's personality.
  21. glory
    With Alford s***ing the bed in AAA, and Jonathan Davis being a logical call up in place of F'n Brito at some point, having Revere there is good insurance.
  22. glory
    2017 Sogard is back.
  23. glory
    Lol, ump was chilling right next to the second baseman.
  24. glory
    I'm starting to think so too. Shapiro hired Eric Wedge to manage the Indians. Now Atkins hires Montoyo. These guys for whatever reason seem to like the non sabermetric types.

    "Play for one run and you get more." WHAT?
