OMG. That's racist. Didn't you know that Stroman is black? You can't say that!!

I wonder if Shapiro and/or Atkins are actually looking at Montoyo's performance objectively this season. He's their guy. Do they have the stones to actually look in the mirror and say 'f***! What is this guy doing'. Or will they suck each other's dicks and say they're happy with him.

Well... At least the 'no structural' damage part is good.

It's even better when you post it.

That will be Hatch.

Team: Tennessee Smokies (AA) ETA: 2019 Position: RHP Age: 24 DOB: 09/29/1994 Bats: R Throws: R Height: 6' 1" Weight: 200 lb. Drafted: 2016, 3rd (104) - CHC Scouting grades: Fastball: 55 | Slider: 55 | Changeup: 50 | Control: 45 | Overall: 40 Hatch missed 2015 with a sprained elbow ligament that didn't require surgery, then returned to lead Oklahoma State to the 2016 College World Series by working 23 straight shutout innings during the NCAA tournament. Chicago's top pick (third round) that June, he made his pro debut in high Class A the next year. He has been durable in two pro seasons but has had some unexpected issues with his control and pitch sequencing. In college, Hatch's two main pitches were a low-90s two-seam fastball and a low-80s slider. The Cubs wanted him to focus on using a four-seamer and changeup to combat left-handers, but he took that too far in 2018 and got hit when he relied too much on the straighter of his two fastballs. On the positive side, his changeup was his best offering at times last year, and he showed the ability to sit at 93-94 mph and touch 96 with his four-seamer. Hatch also has had difficulty avoiding barrels because his control has been spotty. He pounded the strike zone when he was the Big 12 Conference pitcher of the year in 2016 but finished second in the Double-A Southern League with 61 walks a year ago. He has better stuff than most of the system's starting pitcher prospects, but he could wind up as a middle reliever if he can't improve at locating and mixing his offerings.

Yup. He was their #29 as per Pipeline.

I actually feel bad for true Sens fans and even Dorion. He's bad, but he's in an impossible situation with a boss like Melnyk.

And this organization is actually allowed to be called "professional".

Let's wrap this up. Bottom line... He's gone. Distraction is not. Cancer or not. Massive ego or not. He's gone. Let's turn the page and move forward with our rebuild. A new organization and fanbase can either embrace him or shun him now, and we can observe from a safe distance and see if things are any different in NY.

Fastball, curveball, changeup. Sorry...I see 3 types of pitches on that list. His fastball gets up to 96. His curveball we've seen clips of and it has a nice 2 plane break... And his changeup was seen as his 2nd best pitch in his draft year so we know it's already there.

Not yet. He still might have a successful future as a reliever.

Well... Now we get to watch from a distance as his act plays out for another team. Let's see how it comes across now that he's not performing for your team.

Maybe they should trade Bichette before Montoyo f***s up his value.

Lol. It's just so Blue Jays isn't it.

I'd be surprised if they got a similar return for Giles.

Giles won't be dealt if he doesn't pitch tonight.

That equation is invalid.

This is true. We only need to look at Josh Donaldson.

Your post was shortly after mine so I made that incorrect assumption. Feel free to talk about me behind my back all you want.

You're wrong, tercet.

I said I didn't like it yesterday. I said I still don't like it today. Am I an apologist because I'm not swearing and throwing a tantrum about it?

Agreed. Should've been demoted to AA.
