Eat My Shatkins

Biggio 124 wRC+ Espinal 99 wRC+ What a turn around there. Luckily Espinal provides solid defensive value. Of course Montoyo bats him f***ing lead off during his coldest stretch of the season. How about putting the guy with a .373 OBP (.432 OBP since he came back from AAA on May 26th) in the lead off spot you f***ing simpleton?

Just in reference to up and coming Jays arms in the system: Some are hopeful starters and some are straight up relievers, but it'll be interesting to watch and see if any of these guys end up as useful future high leverage bullpen pieces. 1. Nick Frasso - (23) - 14.54 K/9 - 2.91 BB/9 - 2.21 xFIP - (A) 2. Ricky Tiedemann - (19) - 14.09 K/9 - 3.02 BB/9 - 2.29 xFIP - (A, A+) 3. Dahian Santos - (19) - 15.71 K/9 - 5.09 BB/9 - 2.87 xFIP - (A) 4. Jimmy Burnette - (23) - 17.78 K/9 - 5.27 BB/9 - 2.89 xFIP - (A+, AA) 5. Conor Larkin - (23) - 11.63 K/9 - 3.74 BB/9 - 3.00 xFIP - (A, A+) 6. Yosver Zulueta - (24) - 13.63 K/9 - 3.53 BB/9 - 3.00 xFIP - (A, A+) 7. Brandon Eisert - (24) - 11.28 K/9 - 2.39 BB/9 - 3.00 xFIP - (AAA) 8. Braden Scott - (24) - 14.10 K/9 - 3.90 BB/9 - 3.06 xFIP - (A, A+, AA) 9. Trenton Wallace - (23) - 12.51 K/9 - 2.54 BB/9 - 3.14 xFIP - (A) 10. Connor Cooke - (22) - 12.46 K/9 - 3.12 BB/9 - 3.29 xFIP - (A) 11. Adrian Hernandez - (22) - 12.75 K/9 - 3.75 BB/9 - 3.34 xFIP (AA, AAA) Lots of 22-24 year old guys performing right now, that you hope will move up to AAA/MLB in the next year or so. And there are still other guys to keep an eye on like Robberse, Ohashi, Kloffenstein, Dallas, Juenger, Danner, Palmer, etc Hopefully some of this s*** sticks to the wall.

Friday Tiedemann day!

Zulueta: 5 IP, 3 hits, 1 earned run, 2 walks, 5 K's, 79 pitches, 48 strikes Tomorrow is Ricky "Friday" Tiedemann day

Yes to Luis Castillo please

Absolutely. I'd much rather see DJ go to the NL, but if Houston is offering the best return....

Jays lead the league in catcher fWAR (3.6) and wRC+ (139) Teams that are playoff contenders who have s***** catcher fWAR 30th - Houston (-0.9) 25th - St. Louis (-0.3) 24th - Tampa (-0.2) 23rd - NY Mets (0.0) 20th - Cleveland (0.0) I don't see the Jays trading Moreno or Kirk, but if you take Jansen and package him up with Groshans (blocked) and a decent lower minors pitching prospect (Chad Dallas level) you should be able to snag a pretty decent MLB arm from one of these teams if they have a surplus.

Fun and games in the AL east. 9 games above .500 11 games out of first place 2 games away from being in fourth place

Yeah Ohtani is super interesting and is a piece that good vault the Jays from good to great. Of course, he could do that for a lot of teams.

Yes yankees have historic season but don't care. they Trade their best Player anyways in midst of MVP type season That's what yankees do usually no question

Not with our manager, you're right. Good point. Adrian would be DHing while Kirk sits, and then playing RF

Gotta be getting close to seeing Eisert or Hernandez no? Eisert - 11.28 K/9 - 2.39 BB/9 - 3.01 xFIP Hernandez - 12.60 K/9 - 3.16 BB/9 - 3.03 xFIP Although I guess they brought Shaun Anderson up to the taxi squad lol

Boy how good would Jose Ramirez look on this team right about now? I wonder what the asking price was...

That ump is a complete and utter incompetent ****

God what a frustrating season so far. Other than the one big win streak it feels like the ship has always had a leak somewhere. Leaky rotation, leaky bullpen, inconsistent offense Feels like they've left a lot on the table but are still in an OK spot for the time being. Extra frustrated today because the Jays s***** bullpen only really has two legit high leverage relievers, and both of thenm f***ing blew it last night. f***

Trade for f***ing Bednar I love Romano but that guy doesn't know what a f***ing clean inning is. He's always riding the line way to close. Sign f***ing Rosenthal Call up f***ing Hernandez lol f*** I'm sick of our bullpen always being a raging tire fire.

Hmm Tapia has an .848 OPS and a 136 wRC+ in June 0 walks (lol) Fueled by 8 doubles

51 pitches, 38 strikes Love that. Throws a ton of strikes.

Let the Max Castillo era begin! lol

lol Losing sucks but this team is still on pace for like what...90 wins or so?? Don't let the yankees cinderella season cloud your judgement They are making every team look f***ing terrible this year in comparison.

He's pitch 7.2 innings this year since missing 3 moths with mono, and he's an injury prone guy to begin with. They will ease him in more than likely and are apparently trying to stretch him into a multi inning guy.

I really don't care as long as he isn't pitching anymore. Hopefully he figures his s*** out during his rehab stint, whenever that is.

Hopefully. Deck is sure stacked against him though. Small guy with low velocity, who's battled injuries for like 4 years now.

I remember 2 or 3 years ago hearing that the Jays had a bunch of "flame throwers" at AAA on their way to bolster the MLB bullpen. Apparently they all vanished into thin air? Can't really remember too many names. Jackson McLelland, Bryan Baker, Derek Law maybe? Some Taylor kid, he was Canadian. Must have just been a bunch of guys who could throw hard but never knew where it was going I guess..

Wow, Pardinho still alive and kicking is he?
