    I would like to think he’s way more in line with his career norms. Its not completely untypical for any player to just have a bad season. It’s just unfortunate it comes in Year 1 after they handed him the largest contract in franchise history. We certainly need him to perform as #3 consistently going forward. He’s definitely show glimpses of being his former self and best self. Those pair of 13 strikeout games come to mind. That’s why his season has been very frustrating.

    Yes dude ERA. When you’re giving up a metric f*** ton of runs it matters in winning and losing Baseball games. The dude has allowed an American League leading 24 homeruns. 130 hits. His overall numbers and advanced stats down across the board. I don’t know why you’re sitting here defending him. Even he would tell you he hasn’t been good enough. You can’t just cut out of bunch of his starts and say outside of this time frame or these moments he’s been good lol. This conversation started with me saying hes been the definition of inconsistent. Which is exactly what he’s been. One of the dumbest arguments I have ever had on this message board and that’s saying a lot. Getting paid what he is and how he’s performed this season is flat out unacceptable. Plain and simple.

    All of them not the window he pitched well and throwing out all the garbage in between. The dude’s literally rocking an ERA over 7 on the road this season.
  4. Jonn
    Considering the results he’s had this season I don’t think hes lived up to anyones expectations. He’s being paid to be one of the best Starters in the American League. He’s arguably been one of the worst. I’m not saying to give up on him. This could just be a blip on the radar. But nobody can honestly say they feel confident with him on the mound right now.

    Even God didn’t want to see the Jays get swept out of town tonight.
  6. Jonn
    I didn’t choose to ignore them. I just look at the full body of work. He has been extremely inconsistent all season. Every time you think he’s turning the corner he gets his s*** kicked in
  7. Jonn
    Why are you so angry? Chill out bro lol. He’s been absolute dog s*** the vast majority of the season. Gives up majestic homeruns
  8. Jonn
    He was pitching better especially in July. But he’s been awful in August so far.
  9. Jonn
    Track record doesn’t apply when all his career numbers and advanced stats are at a career worse across the board. Even with his 2 monster strikeout games. All his swing and miss numbers are down as well. He has been the very picture of inconsistency this season despite being very consistent for most of his career.

    They don’t seem willing to invest any money in it. They don’t value velocity and swing and miss the way other organizations do. I don’t know how that changes. But considering everyone they acquire fits a similar mold it seems to be an actual philosophy. The other problem is we don’t seem to be able to turn failed Starters into reliever options either. Mostly because the failed starters don’t have great stuff to begin with. Maybe that changes with Pearson but who knows if he ever even stays healthy.
  11. Jonn
    Jays don’t really have the luxury of trading Outfielders. Springer doesn’t look like he’s going to be able to play the Outfield more than 60% of the time. They have nobody even close to taking over one of those spots in the minors. So pretty much set atleast through next season and whoever they choose to employee as the 4th OF after this year. I would hope they non tender Tapia.
  12. Jonn
    Hopefully Berrios is good today but in reality we have absolutely no idea what we’re going to get out of him. And considering what he makes that’s not a very good feeling.

    Clarington Orioles > Oshawa Dodgers
  14. Jonn
    Orioles kinda f***. Think they are about to send a message this week.
  15. Jonn
    He will add some good size to the team showers for sure.
  16. Jonn
    Zimmer was faster but was actually a s***** base runner. Bradley would be pinch running for the likes of Kirk so not overly worried about it
  17. Jonn
    JBJ is about as smooth as they come in the OF. His speed definitely has dropped off. But he’s a better player than Zimmer. Despite borh of them being incapable of hitting.
  18. Jonn
    Honestly I would have agreed with you a week ago. But they honestly don’t have a choice with Stripling out and moving out Castillo. Unless they were to make a really aggressive promotion I don’t see who that other option is because it’s certainly not at AAA
  19. Jonn
    This team is tremendously limited. If not a lot of things click right they have difficulty winning. 2 reliable starters, a bit of mixed bag bullpen. And an offense that’s prone to prolong droughts. They will make the playoffs. But it’s hard to imagine them double much damage outside of a Wild Card game started by Alek Manoah. This core needs a fundamental change. And I believe that starts with moving out Bo.
  20. Jonn
    Still think Moreno is more useful as a trade asset. Jays catching situation is in good hands.
  21. Jonn
    Probably lol
  22. Jonn
    They are miles apart outside of ERA which is basically irrelevant in the comparison. Infact it’s probably an irrelevant stat for relievers peroid. One terrible outing can balloon an ERA fast. Jansen is striking out batters at an elite rate. Walks nobody and has a WHIP under 1 which is pretty nuts. His advanced stats even tell a better story.
  23. Jonn
    He’s like the perfect backup catcher why lol. So we can employee someone like Collins instead? f*** that he’s fine. The one they should trade is Moreno but his value has definitely went down since the start of the season showing no power this year.
  24. Jonn
    Lol no
  25. Jonn
    I really wanted to see them sign Kenley Jansen. They could have easily out bid the Braves. If they are unwilling to go multiple years with free agent relievers just start offering massive one year deals to get them to sign. Throw a 1 year 20m contract at Kenley in the off-season. He’s once again been very good this season. And the Braves don’t abuse him like the Dodgers did. Seems like the organization is willing to set money on fire to sign back end Starters like Roark and Kicuchi or whatever his name is. Don’t really care he’s awful. The sport has pivoted to an emphasis on relievers and the Jays apparently see the game differently. I think they should do the exact opposite. Pay relievers and don’t buy 5th Starters. Sign a bunch of depth options for cheap and hope either one of them emerge or develop your own. Pay for premium starters and premium relievers. Fill the gaps after that.
