  1. I think the home runs are going to work their way down as the season progresses. The relievers aren't being overused so badly with the rotation rolling the way it is.
  2. That was a really cool moment. I've become a huge Kiermaier fan now that he's no longer playing for the Rays. It's so nice to see him doing stuff like turning softly hit singles into doubles, stealing home runs, making low probability running catches look easy etc.
  3. Based on how Tiedemann's numbers looked it might have been better to be drunk for this one.
  4. This is about as good as I think Berrios has looked as a Blue Jay. The changeup is such a difference maker pitch for him so it's nice to see him using it more often.
  5. DRS likes Vlad's defence more than OAA where he's credited with 2 DRS up to this point. Even Bo is credited with 2 DRS so far which is a nice development.
  6. Apparently Cimber has now reached 5 years of service time and can reject a AAA assignment outright. https://www.mlb.com/glossary/transactions/service-time
  7. Lower back tightness. He's already said it won't be an issue past today's game.
  8. I thought I heard something mentioned on one of the recent broadcasts, but I could certainly be mistaken.
  9. I recall it was mentioned that Cimber made some tweaks to his mound positioning in the offseason in hopes of improving his fortunes. This seems like fixing something that wasn't broken though as he was a pretty decent reliever who could occasionally pick up leverage innings if required. His fastball and slider velocity are both down several ticks and his command has been pretty poor as well leading to a lot of very hittable pitches.
  10. Apparently Cimber has enough service time that he can't be sent down without agreeing to it.
  11. Maybe Belt isn't cooked after all
  12. Kikuchi is a fantastic fielder as he has great quickness off the mound.
  13. I have a six month free offer from Sony after buying a PS5 recently.
  14. Interesting lineup where 4 of the last 9 batters are left handed.
  15. If I'm not mistaken that means a third of his flyballs are infield pop ups.
  16. Lukes hasn't really even had a chance to hit in the majors yet so it's a little up in the air what he will able to do. He produced a 151 WRC+ in AAA so far and had a nice spring as well so he might be able to surprise a little bit.
  17. Not giving up a 7 spot in the first inning would be a good start.
  18. It's good you've come to your senses but that doesn't change the fact your earlier opinion of Pop was completely undeserved. At worst he's a power sinker version of David Phelps as a guy who keeps you close in games in low leverage spots. Since he was acquired he has shown glimpses of the raw tools that could allow a much higher ceiling if he comes up with a more effective slider.
  19. Wait I could swear I remember you saying that Pop was 100% useless something like a week ago. Now he's arguably the team's best relieve a week later. Holy s*** you certainly change your tune in a hurry.
  20. He definitely deserves to be up on the big league squad sooner. rather than later. Unfortunately it's likely going to take an injury to one of the relievers due to the lack of remaining options for most of the relief core.
  21. Ah so you want the team to jettison Bass from the roster because of his facial expression and because he said something on Twitter you didn't like. That completely checks out based on past posts.
  22. Exactly as I just stated. If the club is going to continue to roster all three of Espinal, Merrifield and Biggio they may as well keep cycling each of them through the lineup until one of them gets hot and earns the position. Last season Espinal was key contributor early on and subsequently received the most playing time at second base. After he started to struggle later in the season his playing time was cut accordingly. Hopefully one of the three eventually starts contributing more with the bat and makes the primary starter an easy decision. Further to that Javier's splits are far worse vs lefties compared to righties for his career so opting to play the left handed bat isn't a terrible decision by any means. And it's not like Merrifield is the type of hitter at this stage of his career as he was earlier on so treating him as the part time player he performs like is not some sort of great offence.
  23. None of the Jays second basemen have done much of anything with the bat yet so it's perfectly defensible to rotate them through the lineup until one of them seizes the job.
