  1. I'm more worried about the Jays being saddled with Tulo and Martin for 3-4 more seasons after this one. I've already accepted that Bautista and Edwin are goners after the year (and it's the right call when putting sentiment aside) but Tulo/Martin are going to be hard to move or untradeable so they better improve.
  2. Tepera being up in the first place is likely due to Gibbons, but then again, it's probably time to stop blaming Redneck Cito and putting some blame on Atkins and co. for accommodating him.
  3. Goins is so bad even when he gets a hit he makes an out. Travis with one functioning shoulder can't be worse.
  4. Using Biagini for 2 pitches was a smart move in a close game, Gibbons. There was no way this game was going into extras so nice of you to completely eliminate a potential multiple inning reliever for 1 batter while you give Drew Storen with 3 mph less on his FB the chance to lose it for an entire inning (but luckily didn't).
  5. Put Martin on the DL if he's hurt. Seriously. Thole and AJ Jimenez together would outproduce Martin right now.
  6. I'm convinced that early-00s Kirk Rueter could strike out Martin 4 times in 4 AB's right now. Or hell, Rueter today can probably do that.
  7. The 2016 team better make the playoffs. Keeping track of the farm system this season has been depressing. Give us something entertaining to watch this summer, Jays.
  8. A tear trickled down Pete Walker's cheek as he read that.
  9. Floyd and Chavez could be used in these situations, and then they could use Storen in lesser spots until he gets his performance back up to par. Using him stubbornly in the 8th inning because "veteranz" is the type of dumb s*** old school managers always do.
  10. 1 run game, lets bring in the guy whose velocity is down and has looked like s*** all season. Veteranz!
  11. How can a pitcher as mediocre as Dickey hold 2 roster spots hostage? I mean, he has value (average innings eater) but not worth carrying Thole.
  12. Burns will take playing time away from Barney before he takes it away from Goins. When Gibby likes someone, it's unconditional.
  13. Hey the Jays are hitting!! Was waiting for this. Has Bautista been beaned in this series? If not, with this being a blowout, I'd be careful if I were him.
  14. Pillar at lead off was a bad idea. Pillar as a player in general is very good.
  15. You could probably find a taker for Tulo, but no one is going to take a catcher in his 30's making $20m a year until age 35. Jays are probably stuck with Martin.
  16. Goins was being rewarded for 2015. Or something.
  17. The offense collectively overachieved last season. Now the fringe players are falling back to earth, and some of the star players have started badly/mediocre (Tulo, Martin, Edwin). I definitely think a hitting coach can make a negative difference, but with Jacoby, it's the same freakin players he coached last year. It's not on him.
  18. There's still time to turn things around, but if the MLB team doesn't do well this season, man it's going to be a boring ass summer. The farm system sucks ass, the big league team is old, the window is about half way shut on the Bats/Eddie era, and either way we have to witness another full season of Sling Blade playing his own personal hunches/favorites over percentages/common sense.
  19. Yeah agree. Shapkins inherited this core. He's not going to hire his own guy to manage this group. Once real changes happen (either after the season or mid-season if they are out of it), then we might see a managerial change.
  20. Goins is not a MLB player, so let's blame him for the manager playing him everyday when there is an option on the bench that is better. Makes sense.
  21. Goins coming into this game had a -0.5 WAR and 20 wRC+. And he still plays over a clearly superior player in Barney. What a load of s***.
  22. When Travis gets back, Goins better be optioned. Shapkins needs to stop catering to the Hick and make some sensible roster moves.
  23. Goins needs to get busted for PED's so Gibbons can stop playing him. Or just fire Gibbons. Actually, both would be nice.
  24. To be fair, even if they did sign one of those guys, they would have been used like Chavez and Floyd have been used so far. Storen has been s*** and Cecil is 0-5 (s***** luck and off/on command). Practically nothing would have changed if they signed a reliever, unless Gibby trusted that reliever ahead of Storen or Cecil. Fix those two and the pen is fine.
  25. People should act faux offended at Law's lack of sensitivity towards height, like he did with CJ's tweet recently.
