    You said they only hit 1 HR in 22 innings against the Dodgers bullpen in games 3 and 7. The Dodgers bullpen were considered their weakness going into the series and they were down Vesia. That’s a pretty dismal performance for the bats. Scoring 35 runs in the equivalent of 8 and a third games is not exactly setting the world on fire either. Our bullpen put up a ton of blanks and any ability by our hitters to plate a run wouod have won it. You can’t put all of the blame on the pen.

    Yet the previous post you talked about how they didn’t hit home runs off what wasn’t an elite bullpen.

    What you just wrote shows the bats were more to blame for what it is worth.

    You mean the bullpen that had a 2.75 ERA in the World Series? You mean the bullpen that held a lineup with multiple MVP bats scoreless between innings 7 and 18 in game 3? I could easily argue the bats lost the world series. I could even more easily argue that Yamamoto won the world series for the Dodgers.

    Bullpen is fine (insomuch as they They have covered way more innings than anticipated due to starter ineffectiveness and injuries. They have covered way more leverage innings than ideal due to the bats keeping nearly every game close. Relievers are volatile and numbers are very volatile in the early season.

    With the way the industry works these days it wouldn't surprise me one bit if Topps/Fanatics has instructed players who have signature deals not to sign cards sent in the mail.

    Normally I would agree with this 100% but when the two bad starts were very clearly impacted by an illness there is some merit here although 2-3 starts is nothing.

    Plus at least a 70 grade name.

    Who is going to make this happen on this roster? The Jays just don't have the speed tool to make this happen. This regime has definitely prioritized the hit and defense tools over power and speed tools. Take a look at their sprint speeds on Baseball Savant. Straw - 29.2 (95th percentile) Gimenez - 28.1 (80) Clement - 27.1 (51) Sosa - 27.0 (49) Lukes - 26.8 (43) Schneider - 26.6 (38) Varsho - 26.5 (36) Vlad - 26.2 (30) Kaz - 25.7 (20) Eloy - 25.4 (16) Jesus - 25.1 (12) Heineman - 24.5 (5) Valenzuela - 24.0 (3) They have three players in the top 50 percentile and one of them barely snuck in. Their fastest guy is on the wrong side of the platoon. Sure a smart player (See Naylor, Josh) can make steals happen despite low speed but the Jays don't have guys like that imo.

    Why doesn't Tyler Rogers come into games with runners on more often (only once this year). Like 1 out with runners on 1st and 3rd like tonight wouldn't a ground ball machine be a good call?
  12. mphenhef
    I didn't realize it but I miss Buck. He'd be tearing Tyler a new one for the effort to block that "wild pitch".

    Carrying the team on his back must have hurt his neck

    He pre-emptively put some KT Tape on his neck so he could complain about it.
  15. mphenhef
    I was thinking it but didn't say it.

    Gotta make it to October to be able to use them in October.

    It must be a school at the park day as it sounds like a roller coaster there. It would be nice if Sportsnet would filter out the highest frequency of that for the benefit of my ears.

    I don't recall ever seeing this many bunts go for hits or errors against a team in such a short period of time.

    The irony being he is complaining because he wants to protect his value for free agency but being a bad clubhouse guy who runs to the media with every complaint will probably actually cost him money.
  21. mphenhef
    disagree to agree
  22. mphenhef
    Varsho for me.

    Did Ben Rice learn how to hit a splitter over the offseason or have the Yanks not faced any good ones? I loved watching him whiff on splitters in the playoffs and will be sad if I no longer get to enjoy that.

    I think the value of Pythagorean wins and run differential is overblown, especially one month into the season. Yeah, good teams win more and tend to have positive run differentials, but a team could run out there with 4 Paul Skenes and a fifth starter that sucks and tanks their run differential (as Bowden did early on last year). For instance, nearly 20% of the Jays runs currently have been given up by Little, Heineman and Fleming. It's also worth noting the 2025 Jays were 25th in run differential at the end of April.

    It's like he knows what is coming.
