    Who is playing right field?

    I wouldn't be surprised if Montoyo doesn't even last until the end of the season without getting fired, the Jays have a potential manager in waiting in John Schneider. Charlie has no redeeming qualities, he's horrible at managing his bullpen, has zero sense of proper in game strategy and makes baffling lineup decisions on a regular basis. His team shows zero signs of being properly prepared as well. I could give this a pass if he was showing signs of improvement, but he's no longer a rookie manager and keeps making rookie mistakes.

    Solid middle middle changeup there. This has the early makings of a massacre.

    At least Panik isn't batting at the top or middle of the lineup, I almost half expect Charlie would rather bat Panik in the 2 spot if it were fully up to him.

    Panik is off to such a hot start you just have to get his bat into the lineup any way possible, can't deny that 8 WRC+ after all. Even Tellez with a really slow start has put up better numbers than Panik.

    When a team does this it's in the best interest of the overall team, with one person in the organization being short changed. A player doing something like this only benefits one individual in the entire organization at the expense of everyone else. I'm not surprised in the slightest to see a prima donna like Stroman giving the middle finger to his teammates and organization at the instant he gains enough service time to become a free agent.

    He looks amazing as a reliever, I would love to see how his current stuff and repertoire play in a starting role as well.

    Hard to put up a 193 WRC+ or a 1.038 OPS without hitting the ball hard at least a few times.

    Panik puked out a 68 WRC+ against right handed pitching last year, this isn't a guy that should be taking a single at bat away from Teoscar Hernandez. He's easily been the Jays best position player so far, and has continued on the hot streak he finished last year on. Since his callup last season he's put up a 132 WRC+, and if you change the start point to July since he really heated up that balloons up to 143 WRC+, best on the team ahead of even Bo Bichette. With the current players on the Jays roster he should be playing every day, unless you think guys like Alford or Panik are more deserving of regular at bats.

    I've had a coronavirus test done as well, it wasn't pleasant but not terrible by any means. To me it felt similar to the sensation that happens when you get water up your nose, just more concentrated to a specific region. I did find my sinus was a little irritated for the rest of the day as well.

    Oh right death is the only concern for coronavirus infections. Good thing this virus doesn't have the potential to cause life long cardiovascular symptoms in those who survive their infections. Or PTSD in those who end up on ventilators. Oh wait, it can cause those. Never mind.

    I don't get the idea he's lazy in the gym necessarily, it seems like more of his weight issues stem from his dietary choices. All the cardio in the world won't matter if you're still ingesting hundreds of calories beyond what your burning on a daily or even per meal basis.
  13. max silver
    Good point, he's constantly contradicting himself or outright putting his foot in his mouth, might be time for him to hire a spokesperson or take a public speaking training course.

    The people that are complaining about Vladdy's struggles and suggesting that he is magically going to fix his problems against major league pitching by practicing against Blue Jays minor leaguers are missing the fact that removing Vladdy Jr's bat from the lineup means we have the "privilege" of watching far less talented players play on a daily basis. Are people actually pining to give more at-bats to the likes of Brandon Drury and Joe Panik? I'd rather see a talented young player with massive upside figure things out at the major league level than end up watching hopeless scrubs play on a daily basis.
  15. max silver
    Stop talking out of your ass, Vladdy Jr. torched MLB pitching to the tune of 159 WRC+ in August, which followed up the 120 WRC+ he put up in June. He started to struggle in the last month of the season.
  16. max silver
    Hopefully it's just a cramp due to the extreme heat, Fisher was off to a very nice start with the bat.
  17. max silver
    If every single positive coronavirus test result is going to delay games MLB might just as well bite the bullet and cancel the season already. One team having an outbreak directly ended up affecting the games of something like 6 other teams. With so few off-days available to make up games unless the league plans on having teams play 20 doubleheaders a piece in 65 days I just don't see how this season will be able to be completed.
  18. max silver
    Vladdy Jr. still possesses elite talent, he has had some nice runs of production at the MLB level. No reason to start writing him off so soon. I can't see how taking him off the active roster is going to have any positive effects towards his development, the guy completely torched milb pitching, there's nothing left to prove against other minor leaguers.
  19. max silver
    It looks like to me that he is simply resuming where he left off last season. Ever since his call-up last year in June he's been on a total tear with the bat. Hopefully he can keep this up long term.

    I've come to the conclusion that Montoyo isn't placing enough urgency on winning the ball-game that his team is currently engaged in, in a normal season where each individual game isn't as important and where the Jays likely wouldn't have a chance at the playoffs that would be fine. But with expanded playoffs and a shortened 60 game season it would be nice if we would actually be willing to pull out all the stops to maximize his team's chances of winning each individual game instead of trying to worry about who is pitching tomorrows game.

    I can handle the bullpen shenanigans since the season is young and the starters are still on lower pitch counts, but the in-game strategy is f***ing indefensible. Fisher had a free 90 feet available to him, there is basically no way the Nationals would have even thrown through to second base as there was a very fast runner at third base already. And the two strike bunt is just ridiculous, it would be interesting to see how much these two decisions lowered the Jays run expectation in the 8th inning last night.
  22. max silver
    This game was a disaster at the end like so many games at the Trop over the years. I was very encouraged by Thomas Hatch, he has pretty high end stuff, and was pretty much as advertised. If he doesn't stick as a starter this season the stuff should play very well in the bullpen, he could replace Sam Gavliglio as a jack of all trades reliever who can actually get some outs. Kay performed nicely as well. Too bad to see Giles melt down at the end and get left in the game despite something obviously being off with him in this outing.
  23. max silver
    Yeah that's pretty inexcusable to say the least. I recall in one of the Boston games that Gavilglio was being mentioned by Montoyo as a high leverage reliever and didn't think that could possibly be true.
  24. max silver
    Nice win for the boys there, the Dolis outing had me sweating bullets though. Ryu's command wasn't great tonight but thankfully the bats backed him up with some solid run support.
  25. max silver
    Hey come on man, if I can't take myself seriously then how can I expect others to take me seriously either? This is like existential level stuff.
