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
I said already, Manoah was ranked IIRC 189th in MLB last year for all SP's in time between pitches. It was like 20.7 seconds or something.
He is being rushed and is not in great shape and IMO it's the biggest factor in his drop off this season.
And when I say "drop off" I'm someone who thinks his results were over his head last season. He was solid, but not a CY worthy type "ace" pitcher. He's a mid rotation guy at best but clearly right now he's not anywhere near his best.
Remember when he blew up on that analyst on twitter after the analyst criticized him for not being in the best shape? Um.....yea...
Was poking around FG and noticed Jordan Groshans is still AAA and only has a 44 wRC+ so far.
Of all the prospects the Jays have traded the last few years, they really haven't given up any that went on to do anything.
Looks like Moreno might be the only one who will do F all, and we still have two pretty good catchers anyways so whoopty do.
And they absolutely flogged the A's in the Chapman deal, depending on what Hoglund does, but I don't think he's even pitched yet this season.
And then when a player simply tells him to "clean it up" the player gets immediately tossed from the game.
It's absolutely f***ing ridiculous that a moron can f*** up all day like completely useless f***wad, get called on it without any profanity or anything and has the power to toss a player from the game like that.
Zach Britton leading the Jays minor league system with a 177 wRC+
Excellent batting line:
.324 .489 .471 .959
Probably see him reach AAA in another month or two if he keeps that up.
Whoah
Is King Kloff turning a corner?
25 IP
10.80 K/9
3.6 BB/9
2.52 ERA
2.6 FIP
2.69 xFIP
Decent numbers for a 22yo in AA
He was complete dogshit last season.
I wonder if Santos has experienced any uptick on the velocity?
Lots of swing and miss but I remember reading he was only averaging low 90's with his FB?
