    The pitching staff is good. If offense wakes up the league is f***ed.

    Just curious how do Bo's numbers and zone charts compare to Acuna?

    His plate discipline does not suck, his approach is designed to swing out of his shoes on anything close to the zone before 2 strikes. He can read pitchers and sits on specific pitches, looking for hangers and never half-ass commits on his swing. His bat-to-ball skills are also elite, Bichette was given a 70-grade hit tool for a reason. You can’t argue with the results: Players don’t set a MLB records of 10 extra base hits in first 9 career games with below average plate discipline. You also don’t get 5-hits, with a walk and homer in a game as a 22-year-old. 142 wRC+ in his 2019 debut, currently having a 177 wRC+ season. He also had 2 stolen bases that game. His ability to do damage on the bases are also a plus. These results don’t happen when your plate discipline sucks. Austin Martin is also a 70-hit tool defensive stud with leadoff speed which is very exciting.

    The pitching has exceeded expectations so far in this season. Anything short of Pearson imploding I think the Blue Jays will be just fine. However, the offense has been worrying. They’re getting hits, but not with RISP. They’re getting homers, but have vastly been solo shots. After the offensive outburst in Buffalo, the lineup looks a bit more respectable: Even Vladdy has turned a corner in August hitting .300/.364/.533, OPS .897 and 143 wRC+ 9.1 BB%, 12.1 K% LD + FB = 42.3% (increased from 31.8% in July).

    Would you sign him to the Acuna contract? 8 year extension, $100 M

    I don’t mind revisiting the Borucki to rotation experiment if someone goes down and we need a starter. Health is the primary concern. But if Montoyo won’t even let them face more than 3 batters and throw 20 pitches every 72 hours, it’s hard to see him getting the opportunity before Hatch and Buckets. Let’s step it up, see how Borucki can do in 2 or 3 IP instead of Waguespack. If he looks dominant then we at least owe him a chance. But like others have said, if he’s ultimately a lights-out 2 WAR lefty reliever there’s nothing wrong with that. That’s a very valuable asset.

    Who’s more likely to have a shampoo commercial though?

    Eddy Speed skater olympian Alvarez could've scored from 2nd on that bunt.

    Bichette's gonna finish what he started.

    Romano gave up a hit. Season is over.

    Offense is awake, league is f***ed.

    Borucki - 18 batters faced, 11 strikeouts 1 hit, 2 walks, 0 ER

    Borucki is good.
  18. BlueRocky
    He should be fine as your 6th-7th inning guy. Montoyo was putting him in high leverage.

    Rowdy broke statcast, can’t find the numbers on that dinger. It was very far.

    Blue Jays were given a C+ to B grade on that trade across industry editorials and fans were flipping out. Simeon was one of the brightest teenage pitchers in A-ball and Anthony Kay was a backend top 100 prospect that got invited to the MLB futures game with Nate Pearson. I liked the deal at the time, I love it now.
