    f*** this midget. I'm an Athletic subscriber and as the Jays didn't have a beat writer at that point Blue Jays fans were subject to a regular series of hatchet jobs from Rosenthal for the entire offseason. I seriously had it with his constant attempts to dunk on the organization at every opportunity.

    I believe this was largely precautionary in nature and Schneider wanted the pen to get a bit of work after several days off.

    If don't think it necessarily needs to be a recent IL stint to use Yesavage as an injury replacement. I believe that an older injury such as Yimi Garcia could be used in the petition to MLB but I'm not certain about this.

    This seems to largely be dependent on how he's feeling physically on his start day. Hopefully the back issue is behind him sufficiently to allow him to air out his pitches fully.

    Manoah is sitting at about 90-91 MPH with the heater his last few starts so I don't think he remotely warrants a look in the majors this season.

    Rogers has positively owned left handed hitters this season so it's best practice to leave most of them on the bench until later in the game.

    And this leaves some quality reinforcements on the bench for pinch hitting later in the game in Barger, Varsho and Lukes.

    I'm not so sure about that. If you examine Bellinger's 152/102 wRC+ home/away split it's clear that this season is largely a product of playing half of his games at Yankee Stadium.

    He should absolutely be called up at some point, but I do wonder what kind of role he's going to fill. The manager is pretty slow to build trust with his relievers before inserting them into leverage roles, and with the team playing so many close games there aren't likely going to be a ton of lower leverage spots for him to get his feet wet.

    I think Santander was likely healthy up until May 8 when he collided with the outfield wall in Anaheim and partially separated his shoulder. He was showing signs of coming out of his funk in approximately 10 days leading up to the injury but he was legitimately awful in the first month of the season. After finding out the severity of the injury he suffered it became instantly apparent that it was a massive mistake to let him try to play through the issue as he couldn't even swing the bat at full speed and he became a slap hitter without the hit tool to make that kind of profile work.

    Come on you should know very well it's complete folly to suggest that a major league team should call up a first year professional to MLB and should immediately insert him into the closer position. I think there's a really good shot he is called up before season's end as he's being transitioned into a bullpen role but there's little to no chance he's going to be closing games.

    I'm cool if he's a part time player but receiving 4-5 starts a week vs 1-2.

    Gausman has picked a really good time to rediscover his ace form. He's making a strong case right now to start game 1 in the playoffs ahead of Bieber.

    I hope and pray that IKF would be the odd man out but then the manager seems to be completely infatuated with the guy based on the best 4 month sample of his career that happened in a Blue Jays uniform a year ago.

    The first 2 games behind the plate were within a percentage point or so of the expected accuracy which is pretty decent for a replacement umpire. Her last game is certainly ugly though and if she wants to stick around she'll need to improve.

    I don't think Lopefido is completely a BABIP creation as he features an above average .324 xwOBA presently.

    I looked this up using Chatgpt and Pawol spent 9-10 years in the minors before receiving her first shot to call a game in MLB. It really doesn't appear as though she was fast tracked or undeserving of her shot as she had paid her dues beforehand.

    I don't understand what Davis Schneider did to get into the manager's bad book. I thought that the Bo injury would potentially open the door a touch for more playing time, but for reasons I don't fully comprehend IKF and his 76 wRC+ bat is the primary choice for late plate appearances in close games, even with a lefty reliever on the mound. While Schneider's numbers are always massaged a bit due to primarily being inserted into optimal matchups it's really odd that his manager has so little faith in him that he would prefer to insert a career utility player with a weak bat into games late vs a guy who has potential to provide real offensive impact. In the last 2 games which were on the line in the late innings IKF has received 4 plate appearances in a bench role vs 1 for Schneider, and Schneider didn't even appear in the game yesterday and was left to languish on the bench. Lopefido was ice cold as evidenced by a 55 wRC+ in his AAA stint, yet he received 2 consecutive starts upon his callup with Schneider barely receiving a sniff.

    The club will be able to see how he looks in spring training to see if he's worth rostering or not. I'm guessing that Bastardo would need to stay on the 26 man roster for 90 continuous days barring injury to be in the spirit of the rule.
  22. max silver
    I edited my previous post. It appears as though Bastardo may need to spend 90 days on the 26 man roster in 2026.
  23. max silver
    I just sort of assumed as long as Bastardo was kept on the injured list throughout the entire season that this would effectively remove the need to add him to the 26 man roster at any point. Correction: I looked this up and it appears as though Bastardo will need to be on the 26 man roster for 90 days in the 2026 season. The blurb is a little confusing as I believe they may have mixed the years up. https://www.bluebirdbanter.com/2025/1/6/24337316/better-know-your-blue-jays-40-man-angel-bastardo

    Nice political bait post.

    Maybe you weren't trying to compare but O'Neill and Santander largely fell into the same type of bucket as outfield power bats. Now Santander has suffered from a serious shoulder injury and we simply don't know how the power bat is going to look moving forward.
