Leo Jimenez since June 16th:
8.4% BB rate / 16.9% K rate / 0.373 OBP / 0.486 SLG / 0.859 OPS / 0.200 ISO / 142 wRC+
If he has another month like that I wonder if they consider moving him up to AA before the season is over?
Nice to see him figuring out A+ though at 21 years old
His wRC+ is up to 121 for the whole season
So with Kikuchi out with a neck strain, Gausman back tonight and Berrios looking stronger lately maybe the Jays can get a roll going into the AS break.
Gausman
Manoah
Castillo
Berrios
Let's do this Jays
Jesus
Zulu, Frasso, Tiedemann....
Stay healthy and keep climbing the ladder fellas.
Pearson still lurking too. One of these days he might actually stay healthy lol
Thank f***
Seems like a nice guy
Awful manager
I still can't believe he broke Giles a few years ago.
Team is garbage, way out of the race
Probably looking to sell a guy like Giles to a contender
Moron uses him in 3 straight games less than month from the deadline
Breaks him
What a dunce
In all seriousness though, they should be trying to get Ohtani if the Angels are willing to trade him.
They'll have to give up a lot more than that though, and will have to be willing to extend him at 30 years old on a massive contract
Extremely frustrating season so far, but progression isn't always linear.
The Jays won 91 games last season (2021) and they didn't tear it down until 2018 (JD trade) so it's been 3-4 seasons, not 7.
At most it's been 4 seasons, from 2017 (76 wins) to 2021 (91 wins).
Yeah they didn't make the playoffs, but they were a 91 win team with a +183 run differential. How many times has a team that good missed the playoffs in the wild card era?
That's a pretty quick turn around. Hopefully the lull this season is just a hiccup on their way to true contender status.
I've been fully petitioning for them let Castillo start some games with Gausman out, but they kept pitching their AAA trash instead.
Now that they will finally give him a go I'm expecting him to get slaughtered lol
That's how this season seems to be going.
Jays were 11 games above .500, and in 2nd place in the AL east, they'd just gone 4-1 vs the Red Sox and Rays.
Come backer off Gausman's foot.
Have gone 1-8 since that happened.
Wow, what a completely useless bunch of ****s this team is.
Maybe this young core is not as good as we thought? Too streaky, predictable and easy to game plan against?
I dunno, what a disappointment this season has been.
What in the f*** is going on with MLB.com?
I go check out the score and it says the Jays won 4-2 in 11 innings. I look at the scoring plays and it says Bo hit a 2 run homer in the top of 11 to win the game off Borucki.
Then I go to watch the highlights and it has the Mariners walking it off.
What a low down dirty f***ing deal that was to go through.
Do you know what kind of stuff Braden Scott and Jimmy Burnette have as far as velocity, etc..?
Both guys have high K rates, decent xFIP's, are 23/24 years old and were recently promoted to AA. If they have solid stuff and keep performing they might see AAA before the season is over.
I'd rather not gut the farm system any more, at least not for a starting pitcher that might not move the needle any more than Berrios has.
Let's see if Max Castillo has any major league abilities, and let Zulueta, Tiedemann and Frasso work their way up the ladder as far as they can this season.
I mean, if a pitcher the caliber of Ohtani gets put on the market you go for it, but a bidding war for Luis Castillo is not something I want the Jays getting into.
