    That batted ball that Varsho easily snagged had a .960 xBA.

    Yeah it appears as though Bloss has largely righted the ship after the horrendous start to the season. I can only assume the club will wait for him to have more than 2 effective starts before calling him up but the Alek Manoah situation from a few seasons ago shows it's possible to see Bloss in a big league game before that happens.

    That's a bit of alternative history. You were tarred and feathered for suggesting that the rotation performance had been anything other than fantastic for the first few weeks of the season/turns through the rotation.
  4. max silver
    It's not even 3 bad weeks, it's like a bad 9-10 days as the team had a very solid record before the recent slide.

    ******** I never said anything of the sort.

    Wait a minute, on one hand it's too early to panic with regards to the Braves lousy start but then it's perfectly fine to declare the Blue Jays season being over before the calendar turns to May?

    That error was primarily on Semien as he bounced a throw to first base on a super routine play.

    Lat strains are no joke. I've dealt with one of those and it greatly affected the surrounding area of the injury including the shoulder.

    Tate posted a 3.71 FIP/0.2 FWAR last season. That's perfectly cromulent for a depth relief arm. He's been striking out 10.5/9 innings in Buffalo with an 18.2% whiff rate so the stuff is likely decent this season. The team could really use a healthy/effective version of Swanson though as that would be a more effective replacement for the loss of Sandlin.

    Umm you might have missed this but Casey Lawrence is terrible? He's a mediocre sub-replacement level arm with a career 6+ ERA.

    The team had golden chances to win the game in the 9th, 10th and 11th innings. It seems to be missing the plot entirely to blame the worst reliever on the roster for a loss in the 12th inning.
  12. max silver
    Tate is a solid enough depth option.
  13. max silver
    Oh come on now there's no need to rage on about how the manager should be fired because you don't like where a few of the hitters are inserted into the lineup.

    Bingo we have a winner. Last season we had the good fortune of watching both of these issues during the losing streak that sunk the season.

    I have infinitely more patience for a team that struggles to score vs one with a leaky bullpen. Nothing ruins my enjoyment for the sport of baseball more than witnessing my team losing a bunch of winnable games due to a bullpen that's incapable of holding leads.

    I found the 2023 team to be a bit frustrating to watch at times due to the inability to plate runs but I still think that was an enjoyable season as that was a very solid pitching and defense team that was less than the sum of it's parts offensively. I can't get on board with describing an 89 win team as somehow being "horrible" as an entertainment product as I've following the Blue Jays religiously since the late 80's and have watched a lot of awful teams over the years that actually qualified for this kind of description.
  17. max silver
    I can't say I particularly agree with this statement. The 2023 team would have scored plenty of runs if it were not for 8 of the position players simultaneously taking steps back at the plate and overall value. Basically every holdover player on the roster had a worse overall season in 2023 compared to the 2022 season. On top of that the bad overall offensive result was primarily due to the team inexplicably being unable to score at the Rogers Center as they were a top 10 offensive club away from home. In 2022 the combination of Bo, Kirk, Springer, Chapman, Guerrero, Jansen, Espinal and Biggio combined for 26.8 FWAR. Fast forward a season later and the same combination of players provided a total of only 15. 1 FWAR. Some of this was due to injury, a bit of it was due to lower defensive contributions, but the bulk of the lost FWAR was due to bad worse offensive seasons across the board.

    Hate to break it you but you are the village idiot here.

    Aside from the unusual release angle Cimber and Sandlin don't share a lot of similarities. Sandlin is more of a strikeout pitcher whereas Cimber was largely a pitch to contact guy who relied in inducing soft contact.

    I believe the leverage arms were taxed early last season largely because the club only had two reliable relievers in the early parts of the season. Only Garcia and Green could reliably retire MLB hitters. Romano and Swanson had delayed starts to their seasons due to spring training injury and featured diminished stuff and command. Mayza was also a shell of his former self so the team was missing their 3 of their most important bullpen arms which was an insurmountable hill to climb.

    The Jays have pulled off surprises against plenty of aces this season. They hit aces like Crochet and Schwellenbach surprisingly hard and Bassitt has been pitching at ace level up to this point of the season.
  22. max silver
    That one was more of a Dave Stieb slider.

    It seemed apparent that Roden's mechanics were a little out of whack. The early results of his adjustments at the plate were certainly encouraging to see.
  24. max silver
    It's amazing how quickly a guy's numbers can improve at this early point of the season. Roden is suddenly up to 123 wRC+ after the double and home run tonight.
  25. max silver
    It's a little early to write Roden off this early in the season before giving him a chance to prove he can make some adjustments. He had an awful debut in AAA last season over the first 3 weeks or thereabouts before he flipped a switch and entered beast mode the rest of the way out.
