    This is what I feared with Romano last night, and it worked. May not be as lucky today.

    Cabrera for 2 high leverage innings could have gone very wrong, but outside of the home run to future Blue Jay Juan Soto, he wasn't bad. I guess they did not want to use Garcia, Green, or Romano today, so Richards/Cabrera getting through 3 innings was huge. Now have to hope Swanson doesn't show any rust, but at least he's not facing the top of the order.

    Varsho's wRC+ up to 126.
  4. glory
    Genesis in a high leverage spot. Hope for the best.
  5. glory
    Gotta get this run in from 3rd.
  6. glory
    I’d let Richards go 2 here, if only to avoid seeing Cabrera in there.

    The ump scorecard after this game is going to be fun to look at. Hopefully the Jays can win this game because this ump has been ass.

    Varsho revenge season would be nice.
  10. glory
    98 mph on that K. Good sign.
  11. glory
    Vlad's tag saved Bo there.

    I’m still baffled why they’d pay $2m for a fat DH who they play once a week max and rarely use as a pinch hitter. Should have just had Lukes get this spot while they wait for Votto or more likely Horowitz.

    Yeah I don’t mind Term’s trolling here as it means the Jays are winning and those players are doing well (KK excluded for now). I just find it hard to get excited about those players in particular because there is a real chance we will be begging for them to be replaced by June/July (IKF and KK specifically). But hey, hope Atkins’ streak of finding good value continues even if I don’t see it. IKF putting up a 3 WAR season would be hysterical for a number of reasons, mainly the reaction of Yankees fans who mostly hated him. Ultimately as you said it will come down to the big guys (Vlad/Bo) and the pitching staff.

    You might want to wait for the sample size to increase on those short term signings, especially IKF. I hope you're right, but I suspect IKF and 2024 KK in particular are not going to meet the criteria that other Atkins short term deals have. Also, I think Yariel was the one signing no one really complained about as none of us had any clue what to expect from him.

    Worked out in the end, but using Romano there was risky. At least his first appearance held the lead. A sweep here would be great.
  16. glory
    Yeah this was not the spot for Romano's first game.
  17. glory
    Great spot to use Garcia given how good he has been this year. If Romano is getting the 9th then I'd be a bit nervous considering it's his first game back.
  18. glory
    Bichette better make up for this with a massive hot streak at some point, this is just ugly baseball from him in every facet of the game.
  19. glory
    He's a Boras guy so he'll go to the highest bidder, which could be the Jays, but who knows. I think a QO is very possible, which no one would have predicted when he signed the contract.
  20. glory
    Yeah, Atkins' strength has definitely been short term MLB signings/trades from 2020-onwards (he was kinda bad from 2017-19 in that area). Obviously having a large payroll is a reason for that, but you still have to hit on those signings, and he has for the most part. Not sure what that says about Atkins moving forward as Vlad and Bo come closer to free agency. Spending big in free agency is not a sustainable team building model. They'll need internal improvements relatively soon. If he stays on, then he needs to have his next core group of players filtering up yesterday. Hitting on Yariel would be huge, and obviously lots of pressure on Tiedemann, Orelvis, Barger, etc, to make an impact in the short/medium term. It's kinda sad that Vlad was not as good as everyone expected him to be. Could have changed the entire dynamic of these last two years, plus 2024-25 as well. Now he's legitimately a non tender candidate after this season.

    Seriously, Cabrera is awful. Look at the track record. He hasn't even been good this season. I can't believe the Jays are looking at which hand the ball is thrown out of rather than actual talent. Not saying Pearson is a stud or anything, but him vs Genesis is a no brainer.
  22. glory
    Mitch White DFA, and Pearson optioned. Sucks for Pearson. Cabrera has options (I think) and there’s a good chance he stinks so aside from being a lefty I’m not sure he’s a better guy to have in the pen.
  23. glory
    Vlad, Bo, Springer, Varsho, Kirk, and KK have collectively been bad (combined WAR of 0.1). I think there’s a real chance KK is washed (never should have brought him back) but the others should get better as Turner, IKF, and Biggio regress. Then add Jansen to the mix which should help.
  24. glory
    Big win. Would have been a painful loss if the pitching couldn’t hold it considering Gil was essentially trying to give the Jays the game on a silver platter. Being 9-8 with the majority of the offense being s*** isn’t a bad spot to be in. Just have to hope the offense gets hot and pitching/defense remains effective. Getting Gausman back on track as well as getting Romano/Swanson back will help as well.
  25. glory
    Mayza in this spot scares me.
