    Well they have the thing that I've been saying all season the Blue Jays don't have: a true number two. If we had a true number two, now Berrios ends up in a perfect spot as your three. If you're going to have a guy like Berrios as your number two, you need a better offense to support it.

    I know he wouldn't be eligible now but this is something they really should have thought about and quite frankly done earlier. He could've been lightning in a bottle. Worst case scenario, he's not ready and you send him back. There was no harm in trying. Wasted opportunity IMO.
  3. Masterbather
    Yeah but a lot of strikeouts, not a lot of home runs, it works for Ian Snell. I still would have liked to have taken a look at him, this is a roster that needs as much talent as it can squeeze into the postseason. Maybe the major league coaches could have even helped him make an adjustment or two. I'd rather give him Cabrera's innings.

    Is there any reason why Ricky Tiedemann isn't getting a look with the big club? We don't have any other elite pitcher other than Gausman, and I'm not the type that ever just wants to piss away a postseason birth without trying every weapon you have at your disposal. Who knows when we get back to the postseason next? I would have liked to have seen what he could have been against major league hitters for a few innings and at least considered him for the postseason roster. I don't see anybody talking about this but is there any specific reason why they aren't doing this?

    Minnesota's pitching is going to be a problem if we face them. It's a notch above what we have for sure. Which would be fine if we had any sort of reliable offense, which we don't. Tampa is no walk at the beach either. They also have the starting pitching but a more dynamic offense. I guess Minnesota is more beatable because they don't have quite the offensive talent but honestly, either of those teams really should beat us.

    He is not showing the ability to deal with pitches on the outer edge, especially breaking balls. He's got to learn to foul off pitches on the outer edge with 2 strikes or lay off them outside the zone, especially breaking balls because he really can't do much else with it. I don't want him trying to hit it the other way unless he hits line drives because he doesn't have opposite field power with fly balls. He made a great adjustment to the high inside pitches, so maybe he'll figure out the outside pitch in time. But this team needs wins. I don't mind this decision. He can always pinch hit against LHP.

    Well sometimes they force medical treatments on kids without parental consent if parental refusal has become abusive, is that sort of the same? I mean kids never really consent to medical treatment. In those cases it's forced.

    I needed a dictionary for some of that, but I guess the point is well made. I only have science on my side as opposed to factually debunked and provably made up religious text, but we'll not get into all that, I am trying to be magnanimous after all🙂
  9. Masterbather
    It's tough, I'm not religious in the least, but I live in a world where some people around me really believe in that stuff, I try not to be a dick about it. Curt genuinely believes that getting a lot of prayers is like equivalent to getting somebody a lifesaving surgery. I try to view it through this prism: would I do anything I could to help a friend get lifesaving surgery? I would, so I guess that's what he feels he's doing in his way. I admit as much as I try it's still hard for me to wrap my head around prayer and religion and people believing that, but I do try.

    What the f***? Everything about all of that is terrible. Pancreatic cancer is basically a death sentence, brain cancer not necessarily, but if it's aggressive obviously that's bad news. And WTF Curt? I'm sure his heart was in the right place but you got to be careful with this stuff.
  11. Masterbather
    I don't think it would have been worth the assets, this team needs more than a short-term fix. A mediocre bat at the deadline does not alter this team's ceiling. It needs some heavy lifting in the off-season. Hopefully with somebody different in charge.
  12. Masterbather
    Forget all that, have you seen the stadium renovations? Aren't they wonderful? We can look forward to more stadium renovations next year. We are truly blessed.

    Did he actually call him a bundle of sticks or did he call him that word. Because would that not earn him a suspension with only a few games left to go in a playoff chase?
  14. Masterbather
    So the likeliest path to disaster would be if Seattle takes three of four, and Houston takes at least 2 of 3, we then have to split the next four or we're toast. The Seattle one is interesting, it's difficult on the surface, but it becomes more possible if Texas clinches early in the series. The Houston one is very possible given that Arizona should clinch soon. We should have the clear starting pitching advantage in two of our four games, Tampa is also about to officially lose touch of the East which should benefit us but Tampa is always annoying.
  15. Masterbather
    They got shut down by two excellent starters, it doesn't matter how poorly that team has done this season. They also still have this guy named Judge... Nothing that happened over the past two games should be surprising. Now if they look tight in the final game against Weaver and f*** that up? Then we might have a problem brewing.
  16. Masterbather
    Careful what you wish for.
  17. Masterbather
    The point, obviously, is that ultimately he is part of a team that missed the postseason, and that should be more valuable to him than individual success. So he still loses and the blue jays still win.
  18. Masterbather
    The worst part of this time of year is all the worthless preseason hockey and hockey fluff pieces I have to hear about and see everywhere.
  19. Masterbather
    I mean, that's all true and stuff, and yeah anyone with half a brain saw these two starts coming, but they're still going home while the blue jays are still likely going to the postseason. So...
  20. Masterbather
    Could you imagine what will happen if they lose to that weaver guy? Nuclear meltdown mode.
  21. Masterbather
    No but I would like one for calling out this team's pathetic offense at the beginning of the season as well as calling out the fact that this team was likely contending for a wild card spot when most people here were infected with Atkinitis and thought they were an actual division contender and legitimate world series threat. Apparently that infection is still going around. I wish there were vaccine but Spanky wouldn't take it anyway.
  22. Masterbather
    Nah, it only hurts if you think the team has a realistic chance to win. It hurts with the Leafs because they have significant frontline talent. With the blue jays it's more of an inevitability.
  23. Masterbather
    Oh you're one of those, that explains a lot.
  24. Masterbather
    Oh no I saw this one coming from a mile away, last night too.
  25. Masterbather
    Never said to plant one in his head, but in the middle of the back, just so he's not completely comfortable next year.
