    The system has seen a lot of positive developments this season. Zulueta and Tiedemann have exploded onto the scene as exciting power starting prospects, Santos has come out of nowhere to strike out two batters per inning, Robberse has taken a step forward and inserted himself into the conversation, Gabriel Martinez has had a massive month of May, Groshans has had nice success in AAA despite not showing a lot of power, Orelvis Martinez has adjusted to AA and continued to launch moonshots, Moreno has begun to gain his footing in May in AAA etc.

    You had to figure that was just a matter of time given how dominant he's been as a 19 year old. Zulueta is over 4 years older but he's been no less dominant and he's missed several seasons due to injury issues.

    I don't get this either. I also think it's far less risky to DH one catcher and start the other one behind the plate because the chances of both of them suffering injury in the same game and having to come out of the game in this scenario can't be very high. The guy catching that day has to have a greater chance of injury due to the hundred plus projectiles being tossed in his direction, and losing the DH isn't the end of the world as you simply pinch hit for him if necessary. In the unlikely chance you have used up your bench players you just have a pitcher stand there and keep the bat on his shoulders. Any of those scenarios are preferable to having Espinal donning catchers gear and hoping for the best.

    Even if Keuchel gained a few ticks of velocity he still wouldn't crack 90 MPH, not sure that's much of a recipe for success as a reliever in today's MLB.

    This is just an indication of how toxic the internet has become over time where it's become more and more common for the crazy fringe of society to terrorize innocent victims without the fear of repercussions.

    I didn't even mention Biggio's results since coming back up from AAA, that's you attributing statements to me that I didn't even make in this discussion. There's no doubt he didn't look great early on in the season, but I've certainly been encouraged by the quality of at bats he's bee producing since rejoining the MLB club. He's also looked pretty good defensively as well. This is likely a make or break season for Cavan's future with the Blue Jays given the number of quality infield prospects in the upper levels of the minors. I tend to give him a bit of a pass for last season given how many different injuries he was dealing with throughout the year and have not been a big fan of the Keith Law driven narrative that he's not a useful major leaguer or somehow completely lost his baseball skills after suffering through an injury plagued season.

    What small sample of games am I hanging on? I'd love some clarification there, although I suspect this is just more of you talking out of your ass like usual.

    I thought that it felt like a bit of an overpay at the time but given the trajectories of SWR and especially Martin it feels more like Atkins sold high on a few of his prospects before the bubble burst.

    Go ahead and pat yourself on the back. I choose to not panic over small sample sizes and come to sweeping conclusions that this will be the same result at the end of a long season. You are constantly grousing that Biggio is finished despite barely having any at bats, were whining about how good Grichuk was performing despite his expected stats being some of the worst of his career, etc. etc. I had simply expressed the fact that aside from one really bad start Berrios had produced results which were pretty much in line with what he had done over the course of his career.

    That's concerning to me as well. There was a prior game where it was cold and rainy where he had similar issues but that certainly wasn't the case yesterday.

    I had made the same observation how he looks to have ironed out his command issues. He looks to be serving as a multi inning reliever which would likely be of great use. Merryweather is a prime candidate to be sent back down to AAA given how ineffective he's been.
  12. max silver
    This is his second game in recent memory where his velocity was down noticeably. If he's struggling through some type of injury he'd likely be better to go on in the injured list for awhile to get healthy again.

    Have a little faith. The Jays bats are bringing it today.
  14. max silver
    Jays are lucky the Angels bullpen is just as bad as the Jays pen.
  15. max silver
    That's was a really dumb challenge by the Angels.
  16. max silver
    Hooray.
  17. max silver
    This is going swimmingly.
  18. max silver
    Borucki needs to figure out how to throw strikes in a hurry. It's remarkable how poor his command has been.
  19. max silver
    This looks like it's going to be a very long game.
  20. max silver
    For f***s sakes. Too bad the long man was used to pick up a 9th inning save last night as it looks like he's going to need to soak up some innings today.
  21. max silver
    It looks like he'll need to smoke and mirrors his way to outs as his stuff is a steaming pile of s*** today.
  22. max silver
    Nice to see the club finally have a little luck with runners in scoring position.
  23. max silver
    Yeah he's had a lot of nice at bats since returning. Too many strikeouts early on but that should settle over time.
  24. max silver
    Espinal's 2021 success looked to be an unrepeatable mirage but his early season 2022 succes was well earned as his batted ball metric backed up his results. He's slumping a bit at the moment so hopefully he can turn things around.

    Marsh has made a lot of nice plays this series.
