Good.

Well this is going better than the Leaves.

I don't know how do teams like the Yankees and the Astros and the Rays etc manage to find multiple arms when they have injury issues and we can't? We came into the season knowing full well Alek might not be an option right? He sucked last year, there was no guarantee he wasn't going to suck this year. We lost Ryu right? So we really didn't know for sure what we were going to do with our fifth starter. For now, Yariel is working, through two starts, we'll see, might be a banger of a signing, and if it is full credit, but even if he's a good fifth guy, he apparently has an innings limit. So we still don't even have a long-term plan for our fifth starter let alone any depth beyond that. Other teams either develop that depth or they get veteran pieces that they know can fill in and give them some decent outings if they need them. I will give them FULL credit if Yariel ends up being a good pitcher, great, but it still doesn't address the depth issue. We still don't have a long-term plan for fifth starter, and we have no good options for any depth beyond that. Our only real plan seems to be hope that Alek can be good again or hope that one of our mediocre journeyman can fill in. I was hoping for something a little more than that.

It's almost as if the Blue Jays should have got out and acquired some PROVEN pitching depth since they clearly can't develop it. But who expects a GM to ever think about such trivial things?

Our minor league pipeline is one of the 10 worst in baseball, there's pretty much universal agreement on that, there's not a lot of exciting prospects. I don't know who's telling you otherwise. I guess minor league systems are ultimately subjective but you're the only one that seems to think it's anywhere close to subjectively good.

Bipolar is pretty accurate, I guess it's not random in this case it would be based on wins and losses but you get the point. The only problem is not power, It's a lack of good enough hitters and the fact that a false franchise player who also happens to be one of the dumbest morons in the league continues to take up valuable space in an important part of the lineup. Starting pitching is good, but as was the case last year, probably not good enough to carry a mediocre offense. Bullpen, probably pretty good as well. I still think the leadership of this organization is not good enough and the dearth of minor league talent becomes more glaring every year. It's especially sad when you consider that we had a great GM and the idiot Shapiro chased him away.

Do you suggest we be bipolar? When they win the Jays are the greatest thing in the world and when they lose they're s***? Those are the worst types of fans honestly. All those quotes you pointed out are all true, win or lose. But hey, I'm happy to win. It's also very annoying btw when fans, not naming names, wink wink, continue to ignore the obvious flaws in this team and organization and pretend like they're a championship caliber organization when they aren't.

I thought he sucked after they returned. Didn't all his numbers start to plummet? Nonetheless, he's s*** and unserious.

How do you like the non-existent minor league development of pitching while we're at it?

He's not the guy who showed up for 4 months in mostly minor league ballparks a few years back. He's The fairly mediocre player he's been at every other point in his career. Those 4 months were the exception.

I know it's a 5-1 game but f*** that was depressing.

You are on the internet man, you can get much more than that if you really need it.

I don't need them to be the 9th inning guy, I need him to get the best part of the lineup late in games, and that's what he did.

Are they still PED testing in baseball? Because Yimi must be slipping the system.

So nice to have Jano back.

I was hoping to trade him before last season. Wishful thinking I know but imagine what we could have received.

Did everybody fall asleep in here?

Not completely sure what to make of Yariel yet. Not sure if he's just a guy or something more. I like his composure, stuff seems decent from this side of the TV screen. Just need to see how it plays a little bit more, especially as he starts to get around the league.

He's what we thought Vlad would be. It's so depressing.

f***ing unicorn diarrhea uniforms. I miss the days when uniforms were classy looking.

My eyes are offended. f***.

This happens way too much with Vladdy. I guess it's unfair to blame him but what the f***? Is he not paying attention to his glove, is he not taking care of it, is he not noticing the laces?

I must say I'm having a good time watching this game so far.

Ffffffudge!

The ball was scorched, the play was made quickly, I wouldn't expect anyone on the team to beat that out. And I am the furthest thing from a Guerrero apologist.
