    If Romano got through the 9th in decent shape pitch count wise you could always bring him into to pitch to a few more batters in the 10th as well. But I have to agree, once Biggio didn't make the play the game I had the feeling of dread that this was the beginning of the end. Semien likely would have made that play easily if Biggio let the ball go through to him.

    I would have much rather had the game actually make it to the 10th rather than losing in the 9th. Had the bottom of the Red Sox lineup been coming up in the 9th then I would have zero issues with bringing in anybody other than Romano or Castro. The Jays have a fantastic offence and would have had a great chance to score themselves in the 10th inning, but they never got the shot after an unreliable reliever unsurprisingly failed to shut down the Red Sox in the 9th.

    Just finished watching yet another disappointing late inning loss. You really can't say enough good things about Vladdy, this is the most amazing run I've witnessed at the plate from any Blue Jays player since I started watching decades ago. Something really needs to be done with this bullpen though. Dolis has been pretty damn shaky for the most part and it's time to move him down the pecking order. The club looks to have a very good reliever in Castro, and it's time to give him a chance in leverage situations to see what he can do. Aside from Romano and maybe Mayza against lefties, Castro is the only guy that can reliably get outs right now. I really didn't agree with not using Romano against the top of the order, bringing in a guy with a 5+ ERA against the top of the order with zero margin for error is just asking for trouble. I got serious shades of the 2016 wild card game when Britton was left to rot in the bullpen for a situation that never came.

    We don't know whether he's been vaccinated or not. The Yankees outbreak was largely unvaccinated individuals if I recall correctly.

    That's the best lineup we've seen in ages, the only easy out in McGuire at the bottom of the order.

    Spin rate also has a high correlation with the movement profile of breaking pitches. Higher spin rates contribute to the crazy movement profiles that the best curveballs and sliders display.

    I'm just hoping he lasts more than a few weeks before the next injury hits and takes him out for the remainder of the season. But even that might be wishful thinking.

    I don't think he would make a good bench coach. That's a guy you want to be rely on to help with in game strategy, that's far and away Charlie's biggest weakness.

    I'm thinking maybe the one guy ended up getting institutionalized, he was so angry it seemed like he was off of his meds or something.

    You have a good point there, Bo just doesn't have the same kind of raw power as Vlad and has never shown the same kind of elite plate discipline. But Bo has the same type of innate bat to ball ability. Overall ceiling is likely closer than strictly offense though, eventually I think Bo can be a slightly above average defender at short who provides a lot of value on the bases while regularly crushing baseball.s

    It's so nice to see Bo finally get locked in. He's showing far better discipline at the plate recently. His ceiling with the bat isn't that far off of Vlad if he actually starts swinging at only strikes.

    Teo heating up is so good to see, this lineup is scary right now. And Springer should be coming back soon.

    The home run derby from yesterday looks to have resumed.
  14. max silver
    Hernandez is a surprisingly good center fielder, that was a really nice catch.
  15. max silver
    Teo was due after a very slow start to June.
  16. max silver
    My thoughts exactly. The bullpen situation is abysmal and there are multiple guys in AAA who appear as though they may be legitimate options to help the major league squad. I'm assuming they have some sort of developmental milestones that need to be hit before giving any of the legitimate bullpen prospects a shot, but any number of guys from the Buffalo pen would likely be better than retreads such as Beasley and Edwards.

    Instead of the power arm or Murphy who has already displayed the ability to get outs at the major league level, Tyler Saucedo has been called up. In further bad news AJ Cole has been moved to the 60 day IL with a left oblique strain. Funny how "neck soreness" turns out to be an oblique strain, I don't recall the two being connected in any way.
  18. max silver
    The bottom is what it feels like we should be doing while watching the bullpen lately.
  19. max silver
    The pen has been solid so far. Hopefully Romano is available today if things end up getting closer.
  20. max silver
    This person is likely the dumbest poster on the board.
  21. max silver
    You just have to hope it's not another case of wasted opportunities biting them in the ass eventually.
  22. max silver
    Especially in the case of Chatwood coming into the game.
  23. max silver
    Careful, we're not supposed to enjoy having Springer doing his rehab around his teammates and enjoying their company. He should be relegated to the minor league complex for rehab so he can enjoy team building with the physio specialists instead.
  24. max silver
    Home run derby time.
  25. max silver
    Go Semien! What an amazing signing this has been, I really hope the Jays are able to keep him going forward.
