    Well Varsho is… I’m saying in the current roster setup Lukes is a waste of a roster spot given he, Varsho and KK all hit LH. I feel like in a pinch Springer would be fine to play CF for a few games as well.
  2. burlingtonbandit
    Yup 100%. And Lukes as a 4th OF makes equally no sense given he’s also a LHH. A guy like Tommy Pham would be much better.

    Also great to see Turner having great at bats. Even at his age, that he’s hitting the ball hard and not behind on the fastball is reason for optimism. Still a bit scared about the bottom of the order long term but gotta take the wins while you can.

    Gauseman is a stud. Nice to see the bats come alive, Schneider hitting a homer is great to see.
  5. burlingtonbandit
    That’s the lineup of a team 10 games out of the wildcard playing out its last games in September. At least Gauseman is starting.

    IKF doesn't even put up a good AB. There is nothing about him that even looks like an average hitter, even in the Spring it was a lot s*** contact falling in for base hits.

    The offence is worse this year than last year, your'e forgetting that. I mean look at the f***ing lineup. Chapman last year at least had prior success being a great hitter, Belt as well. Now you have Varsho hitting like 5th who has been a below average hitter in his career, IKF and KK who are like 80-85wRC+. And everyone was clamoring to improve the offence this offseason yet its the first week of the regular season and the lineup card already looks like s***.
  8. burlingtonbandit
    How is IKF in the lineup over Ernie. Ernie was the only bright spot yesterday.
  9. burlingtonbandit
    It really seems like Atkins panicked after the Ohtani news and was like “well we have to make a move now”. Kk even said he didn’t have much interest from other teams so Atkins got fleeced. But yeah that Kk move is awful. And I think what makes the IKF signing worse is that you needed a big bat given you already had KK taking up a starting spot, yet they doubled down on a well below average bat. Today it felt like the Jays had a lineup with 4 number 9 hitters which brought me back to those 2018-2019 teams late in the season.

    Ironic because Toronto is now full of Indians lol.

    It really baffles me how the FO failed to address the need of a corner OF RHB this offseason. That lineup with a Duvall/teoscar/gurriel or even a Pham in LF with Schneider at 2B and Ernie at 3rd looks so much better.
  12. burlingtonbandit
    It’s funny because he’s still probably the last player on this team I worry about.
  13. burlingtonbandit
    Also not sure if Turner is going to be able to play 3B cuz that looked pretty terrible on not that difficult of a play.
  14. burlingtonbandit
    Cabrera gonna get suspended for that..
  15. burlingtonbandit
    These pitchers are awful at holding runners. You just went through ST and are this bad coming out of it?
  16. burlingtonbandit
    I think I'd rather Clement at 2nd/3rd and Biggio in LF.
  17. burlingtonbandit
    2 run lead feels like 5 at this point.
  18. burlingtonbandit
    I get not PHing with Kirk, you can't just run your catcher into the ground especially with Jansen already on the IL. A Kirk injury would be crippling at this point to an already weak offence.
  19. burlingtonbandit
    Damn that was a hard hit ball by Turner. At least he hit the ball hard..
  20. burlingtonbandit
    Yeah there is no way IKF should be playing right now. Ernie's defence has been amazing too.
  21. burlingtonbandit
    Even if guys like Springer and Kirk return to 120wRC+ type guys there is too much crap in the bottom half of the order. KK and IKF are like 85wRC+ type guys Biggio 90ish Varsho 90-100 Thats 4 below average hitters and then when Kirk gets a day off you're at 5 not to mention a day off for Turner leaves Volgy hitting cleanup. And this is the first week of the season...
  22. burlingtonbandit
    I mean is anyone surprised? The lineup looks puke-worthy on paper as well. 4-9 is not playoff worthy lineup. And this isn't a case of good pitching, lots of pitches down the middle they are just missing.
  23. burlingtonbandit
    This offence ugh
  24. burlingtonbandit
    f*** IKF start Ernie every day at 3B. That glove looks elite.
  25. burlingtonbandit
    2 out and nobody on and then this happens...
