Eat My Shatkins

If they keep Dumbtoyo around, they are going to have a hard time keeping or attracting talent. That's the way this is heading.

Hahahahaha

I don't know how they're going to fix the bullpen this off season. They have a lot of guys coming back, but every one of them has taken their turn getting f***ed up this year at one point. Even Cimber who looked unhittable when he first came over has been getting his s*** pushed in lately. Romano is fairly steady I guess, but even he is outperforming his FIP/xFIP Pouring money into it isn't a guarantee, and you can't make free agents sign with you anyways. Merryweather being healthy would be a nice start, but that's about as likely as $1,000,000 flying out of my arsehole the next time I take a dump. Relievers are weird though. I mean, Aaron Loup and Ryan Tepera are superstars this season.

It's a shame the game even came down Kirk in the top of 8, or the pinch hit in the bottom of 9. Was it 0 for 11 with RISP? Just f***ing terrible. No excuse for that s***.

Charlie sitting there thinking, I'm gonna pinch hit for Kirk here. Get Vakera to bunt the runners over. Then the table will be set for Randal f***ing Grichuk? What...? What a f***ing simpleton.

Sometimes I think Atkins is a genius. But then you watch him trade Riley Adams for a couple months of a negative WAR relief pitcher, and then you remember that he extended Montoyo before spring training even started.

If the FO is going to contiue on with that f***ing retard Montoyo, they are going to have to build the best f***ing bench in the history of baseball, because any piece of s*** you have on that bench is going to get used way too much no matter what.

Montoyo can go f*** himself. Pitcher is struggling throwing strikes, and Kirk has an incredible eye and amazing bat to ball skills, and that f***ing moron has Breyvic motherf***ing Valera hit for him so he can bunt, and then that piece pf s*** can't even do that right.

Can we please, for the love of christ, walk this f***ing game off? Please?

This team is such a f***ing pain in my ass.

Add another 1st and 2nd, nobody out goose egg. Can't even advance a f***ing runner.

1st and 2nd, nobody out, top of the order.....f***ing nothing 2nd and 3rd, one out.....f***ing nothing 1-0 lead.....not enough Attabe boys

f***ing morons

nevermind

Jesus christ this team. 2nd and 3rd, 1 out, and two f***ing pop ups to the catcher? Are you f***ing kidding me?

Well done Jays hitters. Way to clutch up Useless

8 and 9 hitters setting the table. Don't f*** it up top of the order.

f*** sakes Grichuk you useless piece of s***

We could really use MVP Vladdy again.

Really need to take 9 out of 13 here. 2 of 3 from DET 2 of 4 from CWS 2 of 3 from DET 3 of 3 from BAL Anything more than that is gravy, anything less and they're just burying themselves. After that they play 3 vs OAK and 4 vs NYY.

It's worse than that really. If it was nothing then you could just get over it and move on. But instead it's like we're all professor Gerald Lambeau in Good Will Hunting:

f*** you Merryweather you useless band aid.

I wonder if there is any way to save face by just having Schneider start taking the reigns more and more and let Charlie stick around and be the bench coach and be the players buddy and cheerleader, but let Schneider make the actual lineups and in game decisions.

Bryant would be solid enough, but my pipe dream is that Springer can help lure Correa to the Jays, and that'd he'd be just fine moving to 3B or 2B. Let the winner of Biggio, Espinal and Smith take the other bag. If they can't get Correa then plan B, bring back Semien. After that, bring back Ray and sign Syndergaard on a 1 year rebound deal. Although, that'd be a tough sell in the AL east, but Ray is an example of it working out just fine. I believe they need 2 or 3 proven high leverage relievers who have shown durability. Guys like Givens, Yimi Garcia and Hudson would be solid adds I think. Speaking of Hudson, other ex-Jays like Loup and Tepera are free agents as well this next off season. Maybe a return for those guys could be in the cards.

I haven't thrown in the towel on this season yet, they're in tough for sure. 4.5 games back of WC #2 and have to jump over three teams to get there (OAK/BOS/SEA). But I'm just looking at the "bones" for next years team because I can't sleep, and I'm bored. C - Kirk, Mcguire, Jansen, Moreno 1B - Vlad 2B - Biggio, Valera 3B - Espinal, Smith SS - Bo LF - Gurriel, Grichuk CF - Springer RF - Teo DH - SP - Ryu SP - Berrios SP - Manoah SP - Stripling SP - Hatch SP - Pearson RP - Romano RP - Merryweather RP - Mayza RP - Cimber RP - Richards RP - Borucki RP - Saucedo RP - Castro RP - Overton Deep at catcher, especially if Moreno graduates at some point, and still 4 average to strong outfielders, especially if Gurriel can bounce back. 1B and SS are likely more than fine obviously 2B and 3B are obviously big question marks, but could be fine with Biggio bouncing back at a familiar position and Smith panning out. I'm not sold on Espinal as a full time guy, but he should be more than fine as a bench guy Starting pitching looks middle of the pack on paper, but decent enough probably, certainly need to target a couple starting pitchers though, in trade or free agency (Ray & Syndergaard plz). The Berrios addition sure made next years rotation less cloudy though, with 4 solid SP's slated to return now. Bullpen is just an unpredictable volatile collection of who knows what. Every one of those relievers could be very good but you sure would like to see an extra high leverage guy or three brought in as insurance. Imagine the psyche of this team if management doesn't bolster the pen in the off season and they start blowing games early again next year?
