    Dude, I know which relievers left, which relievers were here, which relievers are new and I also know what roles they played back then, and what roles they play now. The whole point of me breaking that IP list down for you, (which you completely missed) was to show how last years bullpen was no better than this years, and yet they managed to go all the way to the World Series. You don't need to run around here freaking out because we have Tommy Nance in our bullpen. Could the bullpen be better? Sure. Is it going to sink us this season? Probably not, unless they face catastrophic injuries, which could happen to any team.

    People like you always worry, that's your schtick. That way if it goes off the rails you can have your "I told ya so's" but if it goes great you can enjoy the success and winning with the rest of us.

    Absolutely wild. And the third most innings belongs to our recently demoted closer. Both Yariel and Little are still around though, and while their walk rates are still too high in AAA, every other stat is pretty stellar and there is a chance either could return and regain dominant form. Hoffman could also right the ship. But if they don't we still have full years of Varland, Rogers, Yimi should be back soon and then Flu, Fisher, Nance and Lauer who were all big contributors last year as well. Then you add in the fact that Atkins will likely add another arm or two mid season when/if needed, worrying abut the state of this bullpen is a fool's folly.

    It's hilarious how triggered you get over the bullpen. (haha) According to you the bullpen as it's currently "constituted" (lmao) isn't enough to handle 162 Last years bullpen most innings pitched: 1. Yariel (72.0) 2. Little (68.1) 3. Hoffman (68.0) 4. Flu (52.2) 5. Fisher (48.2) 6. Green (43.2 ) (Hahaha) 7. Nance (31.2) 8. Lauer (30.2) That bullpen can survive 162 plus win an American League Championship title and this years can't?
  5. Eat My Shatkins
    Lol This bullpen as its currently "constituted" is probably better than last years, and definitely not worse. That bullpen survived 162 just fine
  6. Eat My Shatkins
    Varland and Rogers are quite the effing reliever duo, rocking the sub 1 ERA's
  7. Eat My Shatkins
    Yeah, they are 10-15 but not with a top 5 payroll. Like 40% of that payroll is on the damn IL
  8. Eat My Shatkins
    We really need Yesavage and Berrios back. Scherzer was battling forearm issues it was reported a couple weeks ago? He doesn't have it, and neither does Lauer at this point.

    19 year old Johnny King is off to good start in Vancouver. 10.1 IP / 19 K's / 0.87 ERA / 1.16 WHIP He's only given up 4 hits and 1 earned run so far. 8 walks which is high, but I looked at today's pitch tracker and the ump made some s***** ball calls on the first 2 of his 3 walks today. Both of them should have been rung up if the tracker is accurate.
  10. Eat My Shatkins
    Hahaha. Yeah, like I said...the bullpen is just fine and will likely be even better once some starters return and they hopefully don't need to be relied on quite as much.

    It's early in the season, but Emmanuel Bonilla showing possible signs of life in low A. Has his 2nd homer this season tonight, and the OPS is up to .859 now. Nothing earth shattering, but for a guy who had a sub .600 OPS the last two seasons in rookie ball it's something I guess.
  12. Eat My Shatkins
    The bullpen is not perfect, but it is absolutely fine as evidenced by being top 10 in many important categories in all of MLB. You were trying to dunk on Atkins over it, which is hilarious. You have to look at the bullpen as a whole, you can't say it's imploding because a couple of the individual relievers are, that's what relievers do dude. They are volatile. Overall the bullpen is basically top ten in MLB despite those individual implosions and despite being over worked due to a phuck load of starter injuries.
  13. Eat My Shatkins
    The Jays pen has had to pitch the 5th most innings so far, mainly because they have 4 MLB SPs on the IL since the season started. Despite that they are ranked: 2nd in K/9 10th in BB/9 8th in xERA 1st in xFIP 9th in fWAR 4th worst in BABIP (bad luck) Yet you've got buddy in here talking like he knows it all and Atkins is a moron who doesn't know how to build a bullpen.
  14. Eat My Shatkins
    What are you ranting about the bullpen for? You are talking like the bullpen has sunk the Jays season, it's been just fine overall.
  15. Eat My Shatkins
    In perfect Jays land Varland starts closing and Hoffman loses his mental block without that pressure, Rodriguez and Little continue to excel and build confidence with their new repertoires in AAA before coming back to the show and melting the faces of MLB hitters too....oh, and Yimi gets and stays healthy. Bieber comes back and slings like a the CY candidate he is, Yesavage brings his weird arm angle and carries on like it's the 2025 post season. Nobody ever scores a run against the Jays again in 2026. I dunno, is that too much to hope for? Too many things to have go right all at once? Seriously though, there is a chance some of these things happen and the Jays go on a serious summer/fall run again.
  16. Eat My Shatkins
    If Hoffman and Little could get past their mental blocks and Yimi could stay healthy, the Jays bullpen would be absolutely deadly.
  17. Eat My Shatkins
    And with a couple SPs close to coming back he's going to have to go back to the pen more than likely, which won't make him any happier I would imagine. If they hadn't brought in Corbin I'd say make him tough it out, because we could certainly use another solid pen/bulk arm option, but the whining must be getting tiresome.
  18. Eat My Shatkins
    I'd say Lauer's days as a Jay are nearing the end. Not pitching very good and becoming a malcontent in a very tight knit locker room it seems.
  19. Eat My Shatkins
    I'm liking this thread. Tantalizing.
  20. Eat My Shatkins
    How has Maroudis velocity been? If I recall correctly it was down a few ticks when he first returned from TJS
  21. Eat My Shatkins
    Sure would be nice to see some signs of life from Kasevich and Schreck.
  22. Eat My Shatkins
    Lol ump
  23. Eat My Shatkins
    If his defense will play at SS and he swings a power bat that'll work just fine.
  24. Eat My Shatkins
    They want Schneider to act the same way they do, like a whiny ***** fan on a message board.
  25. Eat My Shatkins
    This is a pet peeve of mine. What the f*** do you mean "excuses"? Explain please.
