Yeah Cooke has two appearances so far in AA.
In the first one he gave up 2 hits, unfortunately the 2nd hit was a two run homer. And in the 2nd appearance he had two walks which is never ideal obviously. He does have 4 K's out of the 6 outs recorded, so not completely terrible. Will be interesting to follow here for the next bit.
Some interesting relievers at AA now putting up solid numbers.
Burnette / 17.12 K/9 / 2.96 xFIP
Cooke / 18.26 K/9 / 1.95 xFIP
Danner / 17.10 K/9 / 1.55 xFIP
Not sure about Burnette, but Cooke and Danner both reportedly hit high 90's
That's because most of the "newcomers" never post anything positive and disappear when the Jays are rolling.
They mostly only show up when they're losing and take a big dump all over the forum with their negativity.
Kirk and Jansen were two of the best offensive catchers in baseball last season and neither were flash in the pans either. Nobody was predicting that neither of them would be able to hit their way out of a wet paper bag this season. If they weren't sucking right now nobody would be complaining about trading Moreno in that deal.
Good news though, there is lots of season left for both of them to get their s*** together.
Haha f*** the Mets and their $358 million payroll.
Dipshits.
Same with the Padres. Too bad the Jays couldn't land Xander though, that guys a stud. 2 fWAR already. Wasting away with those yellow trimmed turds.
If only Manoah hadn't turned into a complete bag of useless s***, we'd have one hell of a rotation going. Especially with Berrios and Kooch somewhat bouncing back to respectable form.
Anyone here remember big Fitz Stadler? Probably not. He's the 6'9 reliever that supposedly hits triple digits. He missed all last year with what I assume was TJS. Looks like he's on rehab in Dunedin and is now rocking a 27.00 k/9 to go along with a 40.50 bb/9 LOL
Kloff whiffed 9 in 5 innings today. ERA down to a nice tidy 2.38
Danner whiffed 4 in 2 innings. Still rocking the 0.00 ERA in AA. Probably won't take much to see him move to AAA.
Jesus christ.
The Jays gave Gurriel 5 f***ing years to show some consistency and all they got was injury after injury, inconsistent offense, awful baserunning and terrible goddamn defense. And even if he was still here all he'd really be doing right now is having a potential career year when he's due to be a free agent and the Jays wouldn't be able to afford to keep him anyways.
Now they've got a player who can play any OF position and play them well above average, is way smarter on the base paths and still has a f*** ton of runway left as he's under control for 4 more years. There was nothing wrong with that trade.
I'd be all for sending Manoah down if we had someone decent to replace him.
White has been getting his s*** pushed in down in AAA
Zulueta has not performed
Francis is hurt and I think a reliever now anyways
Teidemann also hurt
Don't really want to see Thompson, Lawrence or Hutch. Although it would be better to have them getting beaten up with the Jays than Manoah of it meant Manoah had a better chance at fixing himself down there.
2022 5th rounder Mason Fluharty is off to good start in HiA
Lefty reliever, 21 yo, 0.68 ERA, 0.75 WHIP, 12.56 K/9, 3.45 BB/9
Anyone know if he brings some heat from the left side, or what his pitch arsenal is like?
Hagen Danner is back healthy again and has a 16.2 K/9 over 6.2 IP in AA so far.
Man it'd be nice if some of these guys would work their way to MLB and become homegrown stud S&M cheap relievers with control.
They always seem to either get injured or fizzle out. Remember Adrian Hernandez the last couple years racking up the K's? He f***ing sucks now lol
With a more balanced schedule they should just scrap divisions and rank the teams by their records for each league.
Right now the rank would be:
Tampa
Baltimore
Texas
Toronto
Boston
NYY
Minnesota
....
Man it'd be nice if Zulueta and White weren't sucking balls in AAA
Casey fricken Lawrence has the 3rd best xFIP of all Bison pitchers so far this year.
That's sad lol
