Tsutsugo has never shown an ability to hit major league pitching so I wouldn't really consider it a bounceback if he eventually figures it out. Hopefully for his sake Yoshi is willing to accept a minor league assignment to give himself a chance to figure things out against lesser competition.

It's been amazing how stout this bullpen has been despite the injuries. They are missing basically a full collection of back of the bullpen types and keep shutting down the opposition. Another crazy thing is how Ray has been finding success with basically one good pitch this season. His fastball is top grade quality but his breaking pitches are all s*** right now and are getting hammered. If he can find at least one decent breaking pitch then he has a good shot to trim the home runs back a bit and go on a really nice run.
-
Yeah that was such a bad decision. Especially seeing how Pearson was brought into a blowout and absolutely destroyed the Rays in the following game.
-
Yeah I've been impressed considering this is his season debut. This could be a very nice addition given the rash of bullpen injuries.
-
Teams are going to figure out eventually that you don't run on Gurriel.
-
Big play gunning down the runner.

Bo is a cornerstone player, I think some patience is going to pay off to allow him to work through some stuff at the major league level. I think the tools are there to be a good major league shortstop, he just needs to continue working, just like Marcus Semien had to do as young player.
-
If Nate showed anything like this in his AAA start he wouldn't have been called up to start with. Kay didn't exactly pitch great either so there's no perfect solution here with respect to whether Nate should pick up more AAA innings or work on his command issues in MLB.
-
You do know that young players can only improve defensively if management doesn't panic and actually gives them a chance to work on their defense right?
-
f*** me this game is over.
-
I saw one 98. Last season it seemed as the game went on he was able to add a few ticks of velocity in later innings, he certainly didn't last long enough today for that to happen. And I doubt he was letting the ball go with maximum intensity as he attempted to guide the ball into the strike zone.
-
There's a dramatic difference between fine and great. I said the stuff looked fine, not like he was offering up peak level Pedro Martinez offerings.
-
What did he throw, like 90% fastballs? And something like 75% of those were balls. No reason for hitter's to offer at offspeed stuff for pitcher that can't find the strike zone and is constantly being 3-0.
-
I think the stuff was fine, he couldn't actually locate his pitches into locations which would allow for swings and misses.
-
He didn't appear to reinjure himself at least.
-
Gotta at least knock the damn ball down Rowdy.
-
Holy f*** first pitch strike. Didn't know that was possible.
-
If Jansen ends up hurt the Jays are in very bad shape, gotta be smart and protect the starter from injury here. Unless you want to see more of Reese Mcguire.
-
Nice job Bo. He's has Kevin Pillar plate discipline but thank goodness for the 70 grade hit tool
-
Not smart to play your starting catcher day game after a night game.
-
Not pretty but at least Nate managed to limit the damage to just 1. Slider is the only pitch he can command right now, might have to lean on that a bit if he comes back out for the third.
-
98 on the black at the knees. That looks like it will play to me.
-
His stuff looks perfectly fine as a starter, he just needs to iron out his command to be effective.
-
20 innings is definitely enough of a MLB sample to make Nate a reliever.

General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2021)
max silver replied to TwistedLogic's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
With so many bullpen arms out of commission it seemed like the necessary move to keep the club competitive. I'm super pumped as well by this news as well. Kay is far better utilized at this point to serve as a longman in case of emergency. Who knows which version of Matz shows up for tonight's game either, so the more pen arms the better. Now we just wait for Manoah to arrive and finally have a proper rotation for the first time this season.
