  1. Yeah, they are 10-15 but not with a top 5 payroll. Like 40% of that payroll is on the damn IL
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. If Hoffman and Little could get past their mental blocks and Yimi could stay healthy, the Jays bullpen would be absolutely deadly.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. I'm liking this thread. Tantalizing.
  14. How has Maroudis velocity been? If I recall correctly it was down a few ticks when he first returned from TJS
  15. Sure would be nice to see some signs of life from Kasevich and Schreck.
  16. If his defense will play at SS and he swings a power bat that'll work just fine.
  17. They want Schneider to act the same way they do, like a whiny ***** fan on a message board.
  18. This is a pet peeve of mine. What the f*** do you mean "excuses"? Explain please.
  19. So, who's going to leave the game with an injury today?
  20. 8 legit MLB starters signed and 11 games into the season we've already had a bullpen day and now starting 36 year old Patrick Corbin for game 12.
  21. How awesome is it that three of those guys are still currently in our rotation?
  22. Yeah, Schneider said today "I feel like our whole team is sick" Explains a lot so far.
  23. Apparently Lauer has a real bad flu bug. Maybe going around the room and part of the reason for the sluggish stretch here? Hope so anyways
