  1. Still early but yes that’s a bad sign, especially since he wasn’t good in AAA last season either. The plate discipline that made him such an intriguing prospect two years ago is gone. Hopefully he turns things around.
  2. Goddamn it. Hope it is not as bad as it looked.
  3. https://bluejaysnation.com/2019/04/22/pompey-bullied-in-blue-jays-clubhouse/ So, who bullied Pompey?
  4. Tanking because you are absolutely devoid of talent is one thing, but tanking when you have a roster full of young players that the front office believes in plus a lot more on the way seems counter productive. If the team wins 77-82 games this season, that means the young players are better than anticipated. I think you take that over finishing with 68 wins and every young player on the team being s***, even if it results in a top 5 pick. This isn't the NBA. A #1 pick in the NBA could turn a bad team into a great team over night depending on who is there. Baseball works a lot differently. As far as the rotation, Keuchel on a one year deal would be sweet if he's willing to do it. But I can't see Shatkins giving up a draft pick for him. More likely we are staring at the possibility of Gio Gonzalez making the roster.
  5. I think he's referring to Krylian saying "Best not bring it up but celebrate in private." Either way tanking in baseball is stupid. In the case of the Jays, they are playing a bunch of young players, with even more on the way (Vlad, Biggio, Alford, etc). You want them to win as many games as possible so that it shows the young players are actually good.
  6. This is his age 33 season. He's playing for a contract from age 34 onwards. No way he gets a four year deal even if he has a vintage prime JD season, which he probably won't. Still a good player, but he's probably looking at a 2-3 year deal max.
  7. https://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/shoemaker-trying-stay-positive-despite-news-acl-tear/ Damn, he was doing so well too. He's under team control for 2020 so get healthy and be ready for next year.
  8. Montoyost already using Tepera in the 8th. Hopefully that doesn’t last long, or at least until he shows he’s healthy.
  9. Hopefully Sanchez's finger nail heals quick enough so he can sign the 7 year, $120 mil* deal that would be a bargain to sign him to. * number may not be exact.
  10. Yeah, try to extend Stroman. Sanchez is trade bait. AA had a man crush on him so trade him to the Braves.
  11. Montoyost it is. Sac bunts, s***** hitters leading off, “playing the game the right way”. Old school time.
  12. Charlie Buntoyo. Ned Montoyost. Let’s come up with a nickname for our sabermetric guru.
  13. That lineup with Vlad at 3B and Biggio at 2B actually looks above average, or am I crazy?
  14. No reason to have Stro pitch the 9th. At all. Luckily he was out by 109 pitches but it’s a 4 run lead and you just burned your best reliever rather than starting the inning with Tepera who was warming up in the previous inning anyway. Montoyo was in the Rays org for that long but resembles Ned Yost more than Kevin Cash. Nice win though.
  15. Stroman throws 5 pitches, 3 of them hit the strike zone on Gameday, but 4 balls and 1 strike were called. I ain't staying up for this. Laz Diaz can EAD.
  16. Good. I like Shatkins, but this is the one time I hope everyone bashes them. They deserve every bit of it.
  17. Did Gameday glitch or was that strike 3 on Teoscar really 5 feet outside?
  18. Seriously, Shatkins deserve to get bashed for this. I've never seen a front office so determined to not call up their young superstar even after they got the extra year of control. Vlad was ready for the Majors last year. It's bad enough they made him wait for 2019 (which is understandable given the rules), but now they have to prolong it even longer because......reasons. It's ********.
